Tower Video Camera Mount

Does anyone know of some Video Camera tower mounting systems available? I have seen the AirTrakker at Overtons ... but are there others available somewhere? What about homemade options?

We-err my dad got the one from overtons, and we have used it twice, and both those times its been nice, better than having my little brother sit hunched over the engine box and having no control, we are still trying to figure out how to get it to work just right, but its fine when someone is up and ridding

You can make one for not much $$$ if you have the time & tools, there are two plans posted at www.diyTower.com

I borrowed one once, didn't like the results. The camera was always aimed at where the rider just was instead of where he is.

It was also a pain to start and stop the recording when the bimini was up.

I have seen some footage where it looks great ... but it requires a lot of attention to get it set up correctly.

I have mine setup complete with a LCD screen and a Lanc extension cable hooked to a remote control for the camera. I just got what will be latest release of the Trakker and put a quick video clip up at http://www.wakepics.com/media/newtrakker.wmv if you want to see for yourself what you can expect.
