Costco has some kayaks for an affordable price at the moment.
I've managed some very nice shots from a bouncing skinny sea kayak in considerable chop, handholding an 18-300 on a D7100--but it ain't easy. Crank up the ISO some to get enough shutter speed. My brother ordered a 14' Hobie fishing kayak with their mirage (Pedal) drive. I'm looking forward to checking that out.

:thumbup: Sounds like fun. Stick to the calm days, the results will be much better.

Thank you, Bozsik
I think that ocean Kayaks are quite stable. Attached is an orca taken in the Vancouver Sound with probably a Yashika or Panasonic Weather Resistant camera. I do NOT use my Nikons in a kayak! Camera is NOT a zoom lens. I've also kayaked in Alaska among humpback whales as well as orcas. Not a problem. No tripods, please!

As a special notation. The vertical section of PVC pipe is removable to assist in paddling. With this design, you don't need the middle strut for supporting the camera opening above. The diagonal from the front supports it well. I used 3/4 in pipe, not 1/2 inch. It is more rigid. I also used the schedule 40, not the lighter schedule wall pipe. The whole structure is extremely light and ridged. It takes about ten second to put together. The top and bottom are preassembled.

Did you mean click "Bookmark" at the top of the page and then "save." I did that and it worked so all's fair in love and war!!!
