Baller Justin_C Posted July 5, 2021 Baller Share Posted July 5, 2021 A lot of people (myself included) have made them from 4" PVC pipe. Cut a notch up one side for the rope, put a cap on the end and mount a standard phone holder from Amazon or somewhere on top. If you search through the previous threads there are lots of pictures!

Baller aupatking Posted July 5, 2021 Baller Share Posted July 5, 2021 I have loved my Wakeye but the machined plastic clamp broke on one side after a few years. “No big deal, I’ve gotten years of use out of it” I was happy to buy a replacement. The problem is, the replacement parts come from New Zealand. Shipping takes a long time and is expensive. So, my clamp piece comes in the mail and THE VERY FIRST TIME I clamp it on the pylon…. The other half of the clamp breaks. I love my Wakeye, and have 4-5 years use out of it, but for ease, of use, replacement parts, and US availability, I'd buy a SkiDoc Orbit next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted July 5, 2021 Baller Share Posted July 5, 2021 Orbit. I've bought a bunch of these. I gift them to my ski buddies. Simple design that works great. Just need a decent phone and phone clamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ swbca Posted July 7, 2021 Author Baller_ Share Posted July 7, 2021 @UWSkier @MichaelWiebe Favorite Android APP for Video Recording controlled by GPS speed I was skiing with some guys . . an iPhone was on the pylon that was set to start recording video at 32 mph and above . . and pause below 32 mph. I need for Android. They turned it on at the beginning of 6 skier practice sessions and turned it off when done. Does the wind from boat movement keep the phones from shutting down from over-heating on a hot sunny day ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted July 7, 2021 Baller Share Posted July 7, 2021 Wakeye app for android works great. Phone can get warm on sunny day. Use an old phone from ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MichaelWiebe Posted July 7, 2021 Baller Share Posted July 7, 2021 We use a GoPro, and use the old fashioned button to start and stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
