    I will be posting that video soon and surprisingly the camera was very stable. Except for that one time when the Bismarck was stopped between the swells and the camera little went side to side.

    HI Nikki. The camera is about 13 inches off the deck. What kind of ship do you have?

    If your going mount the camera high on a boat I would recommend using a larger ship with a broad beam. Stability is essential for this type of setup.

    On a cruiser it have to very large for a cruiser or at least wide for a cruiser. The camera is not heavy but your most likely going to get a lot of roll because of the low draft and the high hull height.
