  1. Hi, firstly, nice skiing! You are smooth in and out of the turns and to me it's not just about making the course it's about being silky around the turns (which clearly you are) this divice is designed for all boats as the pole is the same width. The E Z CAM is designed to be a correction tool, a divice to learn from and help you improve. The footage is about what you can expect, you will always get a margin of shake (it only does what the rope tells it too!) great footage and nice skiing dude. Small cameras work great also in the phone cradle. The iPhone 5 seems to react from engine static for some reason like when you first hit record (I've seen this on other ones too!) go-pro is a good divice as is iphone 4 and 5 for the mount and a good old fashioned camcorder works great too! Always pop some lube (hair conditioner etc) on the inside before use as it helps keep it friction free. Unlike other mounts on the market, E Z Cam is designed to take most divices and fit all ski tow boats So you can jump ship onto your buddies and whistle his/her own choice of camera on and go for gold ;) We don't say it's 100% perfect,we just say its the "BEST IN IT'S CLASS" I have tried a mount with a slot each side, test were not as stable as e z cam. It's worth taking the extra few seconds to trail rope back out.. George has some new stock coming shortly Kind regards, darren "e z cam"
  2. That editing is really top class :) don't forget once you have found the right angle for your boat you best to set the bottom mount against the pole, thats where the flickers coming from (the arm) I suggest a piece of foam rubber aprox 10mm thick which sticks from the rear of the mount to the tube, all the latest ones I have now are fixed and work as well or better than the top one. If you send your email I'll be glad to send a photo. Also if you send address I'll be happy to post you (or anyone else this modification for free :) this will stop movement. A drop of super glue to seize the plastic knuckle joint also helps once you get your required angle.. Have a great day.
  3. Got it now- should be more stable than that on the lower mount.. How's it set up? Have you put the loop over the pole direct?and not double tied it? The rope should bite onto the mount opening tightly as tension is taken up- also use some lube or hair conditioner on the pole to eliminate friction (it could be biting too much) It seems there is slack getting in from somewhere which is odd. The loop should open out onto the pole tightly. . Looks like the engine was also causing some interfearence with the camera too. Fantastic editing though :)
  4. I can't get it to load my end! Sure your skiings ok- one thing it does prove though is its being used already as a learning tool! Keep it up :)
  5. Try living in Uk! We only get about 2 days summer here a year lol. Dry suits sell ever so well :)
  6. WOW! Fantastic words from a real gentleman. It's been a battle getting this off the ground and after fighting my way through the rubbish am proud to have found a partner who is so qualified and tallented in so many different ways (as well as well liked) and is as passionate about this mount as me :) I look forward to giving as much input as I can and making you guys future boating as much fun as I possibly can (as we possibly can) www.e-z-cam.com designed by skiers, for skiers
  7. Thank you very very much you guys... I really appreciate your kind words and questions :) I have a US distributer (hopefully) now on board who has faith in the ezcam. I hope you all get lots of fun from it and it's everything you expected it to be. It has no negative sides to it as yet. I'm working on fixing the lower mount to the pole at the moment as it has no purpose for the arm to be moved once set in the required position. This is an easy fit- its just a disc of rubber from the rear of the mount to the pole exterior. You can also pour a few drops of super glue onto thelastic ball knuckle for extra rigidity if you wish. The mount will record what the rope tells it to so a lot depends on the skiers smoothness in and out of the turns (it varies massively) other factors are: wind from the bow (keep door jam in place if bowrider) and obviously smooth water helps lots! Other factors include an off centred prop (or imbalance lol) Just in case you wonder as some have, The mount is not 90 degree. It's not a mistake it compensates for the dead rise when on the plane. It's been set on a nautique for ideal recording averaging 28mph from 23mph the angle stays the same up to max speed (55mph) so if you ski at 36mph it's ideal Thanks again. P.s. if you should drop or break any bits I can supply no problem ;) Darren (ezcam)
  8. Hi the extra rope goes back out the front, works fine ;)
  9. Done a video to demo what E Z cam is all about... See below Check out this video on YouTube:
  10. Just watched our footage with the iPad which is similar with the wobble yours has, only way we can explain it its like an aircraft wing- the wider it is the more wobble exageration it gets. Stick to smaller divices and results will improve massively. Apple are bringing out a 16mp camera shortly so iPad will be short lived camera wise. Technology eh :)
  11. Tried adapting an iPad to my ezcam tube which was very easy, unfortunatly test results were disappointing due to the size of the iPad it not only caught the wind which caused vibration but when the rope tugs on turns it wobbles much more due to its size and weight. We found smaller phones and cameras worked much better. We have abandoned all further developements with the iPad. Good luck on that one..
  12. Yes they do ;) go to google and search for:" les arcs pool" this is in the ski resort of les arcs, on here you can see where me and other boarders /skiers came down the hill jumped onto the swimming pool and glided 60ft to the other side and jumped out :) its real funny! Problem is you won't do deep water starts as the service area is too small. Get the speed up though and it pretty cool ;)
