I have been using different approaches to mount my camera or camcorder on a boat deck from various mini tripods and clam pods to mounts improvised with a foam, bungee, and duck tape. Recently, I almost entirely use a suction cup mount from Sticky Pod Camera Mounts. I have found it reliable and easy to use.
The sticky pod has been involved in shooting of all my movie clips and paddling self portraits in interval camera mode since 2005/6 winter.
The sticky pod mounts come in different configurations from a single cup mount to heavy duty mounts with 3 or 4 suction cups. The essential part of this system is a strong suction cup with a 1/4" thread. It can be connected to any standard photography tripod head or anything else using 1/4" bolt.
Marek – what do you know about the condition of the South Platte put-ins/take-outs and river courses traditionally used by the Joint Clubs March event? Poudre and RMCC are organizing for 2015 and looking for information
Thanks!

I haven’t paddled the South Platte this year yet. Last year, I paddled the river around Kuner and Kersey – no significant changes in river character or access after flooding there. I haven’t seen Riverside Park in Evans after re-opening. I may have some updates in the next couple of weeks.
Hi Marek – Great pictures! This canoe stabilizer and platform may help if you have a tripod on your Penobscot.

Hi Larry. I go to southwestern Wyoming where my dad lives and saretm fish with sinners and do some fly fishing. Been doing it every year since I was in third grade. Lots of water up there this year so fishing was slow but still fun. Love to pan fry smaller trout or wrap them in tin foil with some butter and garlic and put them on a grill or in the coals of a camp fire for about 30 minutes. Can’t go wrong with either method.RG
