| + | * **GPS** | ||
| + | * If you want GPS speed display you have to see whether the camera in question has built in GPS - usually if so and it is turned on, GPS data will be stored within video files and will be the easiest to implement gauges for. Cameras without GPS will have to have video files sync'ed with the GPS data from another device that records GPS while your video is being recorded. Research how this is done and whether users report any particular difficulties in using the GPS data from a secondary device (phone, GPS watch, GPS remote,…). We don't have experience with using secondary devices for GPS but we will add information here when we find it or get more experience ourselves. | ||

| + | * [[https://goprotelemetryextractor.com/gopro-insta-dji-garmin-gpx#solution|Telemetry Overlay]] the editors of the wiki have been very happy using this software in conjunction with their GoPro videos. One minor caveat - at least in Windows - Telemetry Overlay creates large video cache files for performance and does not delete them. So you can take up a lot of disk space when you have generated a lot of videos with Overlay. You may want to go into settings and completely delete all of the cache files as you need from time to time. | ||

| + | There are a large variety of mounts available both from action camera brands (e.g. [[https://gopro.com/en/us/shop/mounts-accessories/camera-mounts|GoPro Mount page]]) and from 3rd party mount manufacturers. We will only try to cover some of the types of mounts that seem more popular or clearly applicable to capturing downwinder action. That of course does not mean that you can't find some ingenious way to use other styles of mounts to capture paddlng action. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Head Mounts ** there are various mounts that can be stuck to the tops of helmets or that have straps that go around your head or helmet. | ||
| + | * One issue with head mounts is reliably getting the camera angle you want for recording. This can be the up and down angle and with straps it can also be a question of having the camera flat from side to side and not tilted. | ||

| - | * **DIY** | + | * **Kai Wa'a **- We have seen their Arc surfskis with 2 threaded holes (we believe camera mount size) on both their front and back decks. (We are told that these holes are used to hold/position skis during manufacturing so maybe they come on all Vega surfskis?) Conceivably you could bolt down a Railblaza Mount front and/or back with these holes. |
