Last year Talquin Maggie gave me a Kodak video camera for Christmas. It had a 1/4" threaded insert in the bottom of it for mounting it on a tripod. I mounted some 1/4" threaded rods in 2 different locations on my boat and just mounted the camera to them. It worked pretty good, that is when I remembered to turn it on!! Just gotta figure out where to mount it at in the new boat now.
