@omgfzzu glad you like it. I made a tripod in 5 minutes using bamboo sticks, epoxy and small blocks of wood (drilled & attached with velcro to the deck). The camera is a GoPro that I normally use for my race car. Nice because waterproof. I uploaded 2 pics that have the tripod in the background, but the quality is so-so:
