Such a pleasure to watch. By coincidence just today I was out on a calm lake in a kayak, and it seemed pretty clear to me that it would be reasonably safe for a camera. Loading and unloading the camera would be ok as well if there was a dock to pick up and drop off from.


There are different size dry bags designed to put stuff in that would be perfect. I have used one on a small kayak excursion before.

Thanks for another great video Mark and thanks for all your videos. I enjoy your work and look forward to each new video. I have wanted to try the kayak idea for over a year now but because of health issues have just not got to the point of getting out there yet.


Sorry to hear that. Thanks for the continued support of watching my videos.

Highly recommend kayaks for photography. I have used my Hobie Outback with mirage drive (peddles) since 2007 in south La. It is very stable since it is designed for fishing and the peddle drive eliminates the dripping paddles for the most part. It is a "sit on top" but there is water where the drive goes thru the hull. I have never had a problem with stability. I recently added a Bluesky Angler 360 catamaran peddle drive boat (not technically a kayak) with a full size swiveling chair for ultimate comfort since I am not getting any younger. the twin hull design is super stable too, allowing you to move around on it and board without getting your feet wet. it is also great for fishing. The Bluesky has its own attached wheels for easy moving, and can be carried in a pickup bed, car topped. No.. no stock in Hobie or Jackson Kayak.

Sounds awesome to me!

Thanks. I found getting in and out to be the biggest challenge but not too difficult.
