Head Cam Cam Single Sculling on the Water Row Along

[@afletchermansson4418]

I need to play this on a monitor in front of my Concept 2 as a motivational tool! Accompanied by Little River Band's "Cool Change" for the music. Well done, Cameron. Thanks for taking us along.

[@CameronBuchan]

That was the plan! I was going to put music along with but felt it you wanted to sit with it you'll have your own! #yamsquad

[@placeboprs7838]

@@CameronBuchan Definitely a no on the music please! I just enjoyed this as my very first ever rowing machine row as a 50 year old on Christmas day! Enjoyed it a lot :)

[@stanlivy]

In a former life (about 18 years ago) I have walked this whole stretch with a trundle wheel and marked it out in 500m stretches- Its still a lovely place to row. and lovely memories of the 500m inlet, 1km clump, Pylons, metal fence at about 2500m etc.

[@frankastier7184]

Awesome! So quiet and peaceful! I’m rowing along next time my coach puts a 10 minutes session on my program!

I'm sure there will be one soon, maybe even something like a 3x10!

Great stuff - looking smoother and more comfortable in the single - Well done!

Splendid. Thanks for doing a video like this. No words, nothing to read.

[@CameronBuchan]

Hopefully be able to do a few more over time!

[@Berlinbubble]

Thanks for this video that demonstrates so well the catch-recovery ratio, and the head cam is perfect to focus on hand position.

[@rowyeah456]

Great angle on your rowing cam, love to see more, maybe even race pace pieces, keep it up through the cold 👌

[@CameronBuchan]

Thanks Mason! Little bit of variation, like how the footage came out. Trying to think how to get rid of the wind noise!

[@rowyeah456]

@@CameronBuchan maybe with talking it could be hard, but with a silent video like that the wind even gives it a little atmosphere, love that you respond to the community you created 👍

[@CameronBuchan]

@@rowyeah456 I was hoping there wouldn't be any wind noise but I guess you're right, creates a different feel!

[@andergarmendia6952]

Nice video. Great conditions. Seeing you sculling brings me good memories. Thank you.

[@robertoppenheimer8733]

That water is so calming to watch everything. In a skull is it always left over right? And is the right side arm lower to compensate?

[@CameronBuchan]

Not 100% of the time but most people scull left over right I'm pretty sure. In my boat the right rigger is lower than the left to compensate slightly for this

[@lindaha]

There was a time, as far as I know, when every club could choose whether they rowed left over right or vice versa. In Germany most clubs in the west would do left over right and in the east the other way round. But my club in the west was doing right over left (my dad told me that). After the reunion of the two Germanies it was standardized to left over right. So that's the story for Germany, maybe it was similar in other countries?

[@coupercarpenter770]

It is standard to row left over right, there are poppers the change the height of the oar locks so the oars are even when your hands are staggered

[@titaniumgaming7911]

In croatia we row left over right too

[@toshiono1989]

@@lindaha In Japan, left over right in general I think, at least my club.

[@danielmarshall7734]

Excellent video! It would be nice if it’s not to much trouble for you to combine recordings like this for 60 minutes to be used for erg workouts. Perhaps start with 30 minutes. For those of you asking why Cam doesn’t have a better launch platform, you should see my club. I have to be away from the dock in less than 45 seconds or risk flipping or damaging the boat. Now with COVID I do a beach launch which requires me to be in the water up to my ass. Some days I have 2 to 3 foot surfs, which means I have to time the waves to not wipe out. Thanks again, please keep those videos coming!

[@CameronBuchan]

That's the plan once I get more shots like this together. This is all I have currently!

[@mishatsarevsky9656]

Wow, wonderful place to row.

[@CameronBuchan]

Really is! Very lucky!

[@jameswalker2998]

Lovely stretch of water and very relaxing to watch over breakfast this morning #yamsquad

[@Born2flyfree1]

Hi Cameron Thanks man! This video has been helping me to get into rowing. I set up the water rower in front of the tv and get into sync mode. I get more out of the work out and am rowing more in general. Continuously rewinding it after 1500m but the little pause is welcome. Can I persuade you in making more of these vids, with different stroke rates?

[@CameronBuchan]

Hello! That's awesome to hear. Glad you've found use in the videos. Since I'm training full time I don't go out really to film for KZbin so if the stats align and I am doing different rates and filming I'll see what I can do! #yamsquad

[@jansroeber]

It's fun rowing with you! Like it!

[@chrispollard6568]

Much better - knees are not moving sideways. Closest I've been to there is Balfour's Fish and Chip shop in Falkirk - my daughter had trouble understanding what the people were saying.

[@ivanpentz2552]

Nice! I'd put the Garmin onto the footboard though. On the wrist, it covers a greater distance than the boat does.

[@CameronBuchan]

I have never experienced much of a difference. The movement may be covering more difference but I'd hope Polar can calculate the actual difference covered. The same logic would apply to runners and wearing it on their wrists no?

[@Dodas302]

[@TheJackieJ]

I'm strictly an indoor rower at this point, but would love to get out on actual water. Basic question: How can you possibly do this without some sort of mirror (or camera/monitor) to tell you if you're about to collide with something, for example another boat? I can't imagine having to look over my shoulder often enough.

[@CameronBuchan]

You're right. On busy water it can be a real pain! Where I am rowing just now there are only a few people on the water at the same time. On top of that there is the water traffic pattern just like a road so you have to trust people to stick to that!

[@TheJackieJ]

@@CameronBuchan Thanks for the reply! I'm wondering if anyone uses the little rear view mirrors some cyclists clip to their sunglasses. But I'm going to watch your video again during my erg workout this evening, secure in the knowledge that the only think I might run into is my dimwitted cat.

[@CameronBuchan]

@@TheJackieJ people do use those for sure! Enjoy the workout!

[@soflaav8r]

Total noob question, but how do you know where you are going, being that you are facing backwards? And how do you stay straight?

[@kennethcarow442]

That boat is beautiful? How do you think does hudson compare to empacher and filippi in terms of performance? I've never had the chance to try one

Not private canal. As you can see I looked behind before the bridge to see if anything is coming

[@nikolasirovica3250]

What’s the average speed a single scull goes? Like at the pace you were going in this video? Super interesting!

Can depend on the weather and the workout. Steady pace can be anything from 2 minutes to 245 per 500
