{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: POV cameras

I don't know much abou tthe Wasp Gideon but I have a Gopro Hero 3+. I primarily use the chest harness mount. Recently, I bought another gorpo handle bar mount and installed it on my net for an action shot as I'm reeling it in. I've also used it to mount a camera to a hiking pole that I stick in the ground near the shore which I can control with either the wireless remote or my iphone depending on how close I am to the camera. Overall, I've had more fun than I thought I would with GoPro's or POV shooting in general because of how much fun it is to play around with shooting perspectives. I want to try to build my own mount on a nylon strap I can mount to a tree....

So the Louisiana redfish thread got me thinking that it is about time for a POV camera thread. I just bought a Wasp Gideon. It is billed as a competitor to the GoPro Black. I got it rather than the Black because I got a gonga deal at ICAST. But that is another story. (Dan delete this if it violates commercial guidelines, although I wouldn't mind having a discussion about the relative merits of each camera)

What mounts are people using to capture fishing? I didn't get a chest mount because I can't imagine it ever shooting good video the way I cast. I bought an extension pole, head mount and clamp on mount with a bendy arm (so far my favorite as long as I know where the action will be coming from). 

I'm totally new to this whole thing. Would love to hear everyone's experience with them, particularly how to use them while fishing yourself. I'm headed to Brazil in about a week to fish on a mothership on the Rio Negro for 7 days for monster peacocks and I want to film some of it. I'm going solo and will probably be put on a boat with somebody I don't know. Will shoot a lot of that person's fishing, if they are willing, and try to shoot my own fishing.
