[quote=csmonte][quote]What was used for the close aerial shots?[/quote]
This was a custom mount on a rotating pole on top of the mast. pole was about 6ft long, and its balanced by a counter weight to keep the gopro level on the other side. its quiet a interesting looking rig but the shots were worth it. I would not use this with any significant wind, I was nervous most the time lol. (this rig is often used for selfie shots of skaters or skiers) that's where I got the idea.
[quote] I saw in the comments of the video that Bradley Davis gave a shout out. Good stuff!!!![/quote]
Do you know him? I'm pretty good friends with him, known him for about 20 years, I have a few appearances in a video or 2, but with his boats. He taught me how to sail and got me into the sport. He does amazing work on his video's.
[quote]May I ask how you got the black paint to stick on the crossbars, mast, etc? [/quote]
I was fortunate to have bought the boat completely restored, so I did not do the work myself. I know the owner as well, and he said it was powder coated. holds up really well, but is showing a little bit of wear back by the main sheet block hitting the cross bar at times.
thanks for watching and your feedback.[/quote]
