GoPro Camera – Kayaking edit by Micah Kneidl | Nov 14, 2012 | Creeking, Dynamic Duo, Hero, JK Team Posts, Playboating, rivers, Team JK, Whitewater | 3 comments One of my most prized possessions is my GoPro camera. GoPro cameras are the most versatile cameras on the planet. The video quality is outstanding especially for the relatively inexpensive price. That’s why I’m so excited that Jackson Kayak has partnered with GoPro to include mounts on the bow of all 2013 Jackson Kayaks! With the holidays coming up, great gift ideas include a new Jackson kayak and GoPro camera! Below is a video I put together with shots from the 2012 season. This video was shot entirely with the GoPro Hero2 HD camera. In the video, the camera is attached in a variety of ways – on top of my helmet forwards, on top of my helmet backwards, mounted on a pole, zip-tied to my paddle, and attached to a mount on my kayak. Turn the volume up, play it in HD, and enjoy!

I am not sure who to direct this at, so anyone at Jackson that could help me would be great. My GoPro mount on my 2013 Hero was cracked and broke while boating. Are there any special instructions I should follow to replace it. Is there any special prep or parts that I may need? Your help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Reply EJ on July 1, 2013 at 7:41 pm Did anyone ever respond to Dennis’ question? I am looking for a replacement GoPro mount and can’t find the part anywhere. None of the mounts I can find have the bolt hole in them. And I’m not sure I could drill one correctly and TRUST it with my camera… Reply Clay Wright on July 2, 2013 at 6:13 pm Hey EJ – We just drill them here at the plant and I’ve had to do one myself with a pocket knife at the put in… the only hard part is getting the flair right to hold it in place jet recess it enough for the screw head not to block the go pro.
