Zara Davis, fastest woman windsurfer, uses Flymount action camera mounts with JVC ADIXXION cameras

We went down to Weymouth to shoot some footage of Zara Davis sailing and being interviewed by the BBC's Mike Bushell on a tandem windsurfer - sounded great but the wind fell dramatically until it ceased altogether. Which was great in the sunshine on a RIB in the hot sunshine but not so good for action shots.
Eventually it was decided that Mike and Zara would be towed around the harbour, Mike would have a Flymount with a GoPro on the boom so he could talk directly to camera on the water and we also put a Flymount on a mast to shoot low level aerial footage from the RIB (looks like helicopter angle). Cameraman Ian Dacosta also had a GoPro on a short stick for low level shots and his normal video gear for the main programme footage. I was in the boat shooting stills and some video on a hacked Panasonic GH1 with the standard 14-140 lens alongside my Nikon gear.
Mike turned out to be a real trooper, despite continually falling in, because a towed tandem sailboard is not the easiest thing to balance on.
So what could have been a disappointing day turned out well and another BBC programme went out successfully.
Zara was on her way to Namibia to compete again in the speed trials and had become an ambassador for the JVC Adixxion camera which is turning out to be a GoPro competitor, and she uses Flymounts to place them securely on her rigs.
Here are some shots from Weymouth:

End of the shoot and just getting the hang of being towed!
