Cameras
Thinking of mounting an A Frame placed cideo camera on the boat. Currently use a hand held Flip but thinking on using a perm mounted one in addition to this.
What do others use bearing in mind the robustness of any available mounts and prefererably with a remote on off function allied to reasonable quality and storage capacity?

Careful, Humber may blame the excess weight of the camera, should anything happen to the transom!

I have this and it is as stated a great bit of kit with a remote worn on your wrist. I also use the GO pro with stills every few seconds or as a video
I always suffer with download technoligy failures. What software should I be using?

You'll get whacked around the head with a surplus (and incredibly heavy) lighting pole in a minute

Hope it's not too sore a point to joke about. Such a shame what's happened, I'd be livid. Hope you get use this season without further problems.
They have a good rep normally on here, though I've no experience with them. Barrus were good mind!

I dont have any experiences on what to use on microsoft/windows though but reckon there will be forums filled with suggestions.
By the way, the Gopro comes with a very handy additional 'rollbar connector' (costs 35-40 euros) which goes really well on any A frame and gives possibily for tweaking the camera setup in every direction and until now we didnt loose the camera using it ;-)
I can post some video's made with it if you like...

anyone used this which is in advert at top of the page
Stealth X5 HD™ 720p Helmet Action Camera (Black) :: Video & Audio :: RetailGadgets.co.uk
we have a go pro which is very good and the stabilisation is amazing but it does make you look like a teletubby with it on a helmet
