Surfing is one of the most exhilarating sports to capture on camera, and with the Insta360, you have the power to record stunning footage of every wave, drop in, and barrel. But to ensure you don’t lose your camera in the surf, it’s crucial to choose the right mounting gear and attach it securely to your board.
Here’s everything you need to know about mounting your Insta360 camera to your surfboard, including the key accessories and expert tips for keeping your camera safe during every session.
🏄♂️ The Best Mounting Setup for Surfboards
To mount your Insta360 securely on a surfboard, you'll need a combination of sturdy mounts and safety tethers. Below are the recommended products and why each is essential:
1. Surfboard Mount for Insta360
This is your primary mounting solution. It provides a flat, adhesive base that sticks securely to your board and is designed to withstand the impact of waves and constant water exposure. The low profile design keeps the camera stable and positioned just right for capturing action packed shots from the deck of your board.
2. 1/4" Screw Adapter for Insta360
This aluminium adapter allows you to connect your Insta360 camera to a range of mounts, including the surfboard mount. Its rugged build ensures a tight, reliable connection even in high impact surf conditions.
🔒 Add an Extra Layer of Security: Use a Steel Tether
3. Stainless Steel Tether
When it comes to action sports like surfing, redundancy is key. Even with a strong adhesive mount, a powerful wave can still knock your camera loose. That’s where a steel tether comes in.
By securing the camera to your board with a steel string tether, you create a backup line of defense, ensuring that even if the main mount fails, your camera stays with you.
🛠️ Tips for Securing Your Insta360 on a Surfboard
-
Apply mounts to a clean, dry surface – Use rubbing alcohol to clean your board before applying adhesive mounts for better stick.
-
Let the adhesive cure for at least 24 hours before taking it into the water.
-
Always use a tether – Consider it an essential insurance policy.
-
Rinse all mounts with fresh water after each surf session to prevent corrosion and wear.
-
Check connections regularly for wear and tear.
