Love to see how some of you guys mount your GoPros (pictures would be great), and also where you get your mounts. Would love to get some footage.

I use helmet and board mounts with a leash and 3M tape. So far so good. I also created a floating go pro mount using a modified pool noodle, broom stick, and small mushroom anchor. I have a Go Pro maxx, which allows a 360 view as I sail by. It works great. In post processing I can follow a subject around the buoy and get a very cool 3rd person point of view. It works great on my inland lake. I only used it during limited boat traffic seasons.

I've been having pretty good luck with a gopro max ( 360 video) and a few pieces from Ram mounts. It lets me mount camera on a pole to the front or back of the board or harness. It gives a floating drone effect, and normally doesn't get in the way too much.

Ive never posted video before, see if this works:

I really like the footage coming off the harness mount but I cannot bring myself to shell out the kind of money they're asking.

The harness mount is W.A.Y. !! overpriced. 150+ EUR for the cheapest mount? Compared to (LOL!!!) 30 EUR for the official Insta360 back bar.

Here's a video with the 5 times (if not more) cheaper insta360 back bar and it works perfectly. I can also move the mount from side to side

I do some wingfoil video on YouTube with one or more Gopro for various points of view.

I use a Bite mount from Gopro for POV, on the helmet to focus on the wing or on the board. I put also a mount on the board, you can film yourself or film your foil under your board.
I use a fly mount aero wing on the wing to film myself. It's way better than the tracer skymount wing edition because it's lighter and you can move it without unflate your wing.

I hope my english is understandable

Your English is great, and it looks like you live in paradise! Great video.

This works pretty good: (just keep in mind that you'd need extra ~2 knots of wind with that much weight mounted on a stick at the end of the wing)

You can make a cheap harness mount with some 18mm plumbing fittings. Cheap, light, collapsible and you can add different lengths depending on your preference. Velcro it to an old kite harness. Only problem with these mounts is they get in the way of a Stinkbug start.
