Railblaza Camera Mounts FAQ

What are RAILBLAZA camera mounts on kayaks?

RAILBLAZA camera mounts typically consist of a base that attaches to the kayak, and a camera holder that attaches to the base. The camera holder can be adjusted to different angles and locked in place to ensure that the camera is securely held in place. The mounts can be attached to the kayak in various locations such as the deck, the side, or the stern of the kayak.

RAILBLAZA camera mounts are typically made of durable plastic or stainless steel and are designed to be easy to install and remove. The camera holder can be adjusted and locked in place to keep the camera securely attached to the kayak. RAILBLAZA camera mounts are designed to be used with a wide variety of cameras, including point-and-shoot, mirrorless, and DSLR cameras.

It's important to note that while using camera mounts on kayaks, safety is the primary concern, make sure to keep the camera mount away from critical areas, and that it does not interfere with your paddling or stability of the kayak.

What's the best camera for kayaking?

Choosing the best camera for kayaking will depend on your specific needs and budget. Here are a few factors to consider:

  1. Waterproof and durable: Kayaking can be a wet and rugged activity, so it's important to choose a camera that is waterproof and durable. Look for a camera that is rated for at least IPX7 waterproof rating and can withstand being submerged in water for a short period of time.
  2. Image quality: Look for a camera with high resolution and good image stabilization. A camera with a high-quality lens, larger sensor, and more advanced image processing will give you sharper and more detailed images.
  3. Size and weight: Kayaking requires you to be mobile and lightweight, so it's important to choose a camera that is compact and lightweight enough to carry with you.
  4. Battery life: Consider a camera with a long battery life, or one that is easy to charge while on the go.
  5. Action Cameras: Action cameras are designed for outdoor activities, they are small, rugged and waterproof, they also have a wide-angle lens, which is ideal for capturing the scenery and action.
  6. Smartphone Camera: Smartphone cameras have improved significantly in recent years, and many of them are now waterproof and have a good image quality. They are also convenient to carry and easy to use.

Some popular camera options for kayaking include the GoPro HERO9, GoPro HERO8, DJI Osmo Action, Olympus Tough TG-6, and the Sony DSC-RX0 II.

Ultimately, the best camera for kayaking will depend on your individual needs and preferences, and the features that are most important to you. It's worth researching different options and reading reviews to find the camera that best suits your needs.

What are the most useful GoPro boat mount ideas?

GoPro cameras are popular among kayakers and boaters because of their small size, durability, and waterproof capabilities. Here are a few popular GoPro boat mount ideas:

  1. Clamp Mount: A clamp mount is a versatile option that attaches to any surface, such as a kayak's gunwale, railings, or even fishing rods. This allows you to capture a variety of angles and viewpoints.
  2. Suction Cup Mount: A suction cup mount attaches to a smooth surface such as a kayak's deck or a boat's windshield. This type of mount is great for capturing steady footage while you're paddling or moving at high speeds.
  3. Handlebar/Roll Bar Mount: A handlebar or roll bar mount is a great option for capturing footage while you're moving at high speeds. It attaches to the handlebar of a kayak or boat and allows you to capture a variety of angles.
  4. Pole Mount: A pole mount attaches to a kayak's paddle or fishing rod, allowing you to capture footage while you're casting or paddling.
  5. Head Strap: A head strap mount is a great option for capturing hands-free footage while you're paddling or fishing. It attaches to your head or helmet and allows you to capture footage from your perspective.
  6. Chest Mount: A chest mount attaches to your chest and allows you to capture footage from your perspective. This type of action camera mount is great for capturing footage of what's in front of you while you're paddling or fishing.
  7. Floating Hand Grip: A floating hand grip is a great option for capturing footage while you're in the water. It attaches to your GoPro and floats on the surface, keeping the camera from sinking.

It's important to note that when using any type of mount while kayaking or boating to make sure it is securely attached and will not fall off. Also, be sure to check the regulations in your area before using a kayak camera mount on the water.

What's the best GoPro for kayak fishing?

The best GoPro for kayak fishing will depend on your specific needs and budget. However, the GoPro HERO9 Black and the GoPro HERO8 Black are both great options for kayak fishing. They are both waterproof, durable and have excellent image and video quality. Both have a wide range of features that will be useful for kayak fishing such as:

  1. Waterproof: Both cameras are waterproof and can be submerged up to 33 feet (10 meters) without a housing, making them perfect for use on the water.
  2. Image stabilization: Both cameras have HyperSmooth 3.0 video stabilization which helps to eliminate shake and jitter, making for smoother and clearer footage.
  3. Time-lapse: Both cameras have time-lapse capabilities, which is useful for capturing your fishing experience in a condensed form.
  4. Voice control: Both cameras have voice control feature, which allows you to control the camera without having to touch it, making it easy to use while kayaking.
  5. Battery life: Both cameras have good battery life, allowing you to capture footage for an extended period of time before needing to recharge.
  6. Live streaming: The GoPro HERO9 Black is equipped with live streaming capabilities, which allows you to stream your fishing experience in real time, making it easy to share with friends and family.

In general, both cameras are great options for kayak fishing, but the HERO9 Black has some additional features that the HERO8 Black doesn't have, such as the live streaming and the ability to shoot 5K videos.
