Would it be safe to mount a gopro to my clam cleat?

1) Would it be safe?

2) Would the camera stay straight?

Camera is highly unlikely to stay straight. Would almost assuredly rotate along the long axis of the cleat to hang low.

As for safety, I would say no less safe than the high mount on the center lines. Still a heavy weight to pull the lines if anything slacks.

Easier just to go with go pro max, Insta 360 or the Hero 9 with Max upgrade. That gives exceptional horizon stabilization that is pretty much a must for line mount.

There are plenty of good line mounts available. They sit about a meter up from the split, which on a low split is a great focal distance for those fisheye lenses.

I tried a similar rig by attaching the cam to the top of my clickbar depower rope... Hoped the thick rubber depower & tension in lines would be stiff enough to keep the cam in place, but no it just rotates to be upside down... I also managed to loop a steering line around the camera on self launch, which if it hadn't been very light wind, could have been nasty!
