Thanks ! Yes as you said the backpack seems easier to use, but at the same time I like they way you can place the camera exactly where you want with the selfie stick.

Have you guys tried to use selfie sticks ? I tried once in very gentle conditions and I think it gives a very good perspective where you can often see both the rider and the kite: https://vimeo.com/465261119 Not sure if it is really practicable in more usual conditions with real waves though. I like...

Great video and riding. I love the wide view without distortion. What settings? Does the line mounted camera affect flying performance at all? Thanks. Yeah I prefer without fisheye distortion too.The fisheye distortion is removed in post, using the GoPro FX Reframe plugin. Unfortunately it degrades...

yes, check ReelSteady GO

Here is a short test on the beach. It was not enough wind to get on the water. But pretty promissing. This is at max Field of View. Normally I would crop so the horizon has less distortion.

Thanks ! So this is with the 360 module and enabling auto horizon leveling when reframing, right ?

Here is a video taken with the GoPro Max and the U.Go linemount: https://vimeo.com/388844425 Sometimes the arms of the mount are visible in the video, which is a bit annoying. I've found this alternative linemount which is similar to the U.Go mount but with shorter arms, which should make them less ...

I'm really curious to see the result of the Insta360 One R on the linemount, how it compares with GoPro Max...

How high above the bar, did you put the cam?
Thanks

About 50cm above the Y of the 2016 North 4 lines bar.

That's pretty sweet! Do you have the MAX in a case, or just mounted nacked on the u go mount?

Not in a case, just mounted directly on the u-go linemount.

Thanks!
I only tested the gopro max in 25+ knots for now, and the weight wasn't a problem at all. The kite was still drifting very well (I'm used to having a session 5 in the lines).
I use the u-go mount.

Here is another version with a little more reframe work:
