I haven't tried this with my sea kayak paddle yet, but years ago when I was whitewater paddling, I found a small tripod camera base and anchored it to the center of my paddle. When I attached a small Canon waterproof 35mm camera, I always had the camera right in front of me ready to go. Water spots were a problem, so I lived with them. In my sea kayak I utilize my Nikon with large zoom lens attached. I keep it in a drybag that sits on the bottom of the boat between my knees. Yes, I put the camera and lens at risk, but it only comes out of the bag if it is safe to release my skirt. The increase in quality of photographs is worth the risk. Instead stacks of pictures with allot of water and tiny kayakers I would have with a 28 to 35mm lens waterproof automatic camera, I have stacks of pictures of my kayaking buddies filling the picture. Its not for everybody, but it works for me. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
