I've just realized I pissed my life away surfing all these years, because I had no idea this was going on, or could be done on those blown out days we weren't surfing. Thanks filming and posting this, that was unreal.

Hi guys. You guys have balls. Amazing video. What is your camera set up? How do you guys keep water droplets away from the lens? Thank you
@ZachandJerryOfficial3 жыл бұрын
Heya Surfski Guru. Thanks for the message. Jerry made some camera stands with PVC pipe and a wooden bloke that forms the base. The base also has rubber underneath it so it doesn't scratch the ski and provides grip. We then permanently attached a gopro mount to the top of the stand. We have tried many products to keep water droplets of the lens. The best we have found is a little bit of window cleaner works but be careful not to rub it on the frame of the lens. It will eat the plastic. Otherwise, the good old fashioned way of licking the lens works well. 😁😁😁 Hope this helped. Cheers Z&J
