GoPro Camera mount for kite lines

Image
Problem:   You want to take pictures or video from your kite or your lines. Solutions:   Buy a $40 mount that is nice quality connects quickly and you are up and running.  Downside: very little adjustability and is typically "in your face" and too close. Mount the camera to the kite Downside:  Who is that speck? Make your own for cheap that is adjustable and super stable Downside: Possible ridicule, most likely jealousy. I thought I was the creative maker type and opted to make my own. Requirements:   Easy to install on the kite Stable and resists twisting or wobbling Adjustable to allow positioning up/down the lines. lightweight sturdy enough cheap so that if I destroy it, I can build another materials must be relatively easy to get at a hardware store Should break down for travel Materials: 4 - 3/8"x3'  Hollow Carbon fiber Kite struts -  available at any kite shop 4 - 3/8" Inner Diameter plasti
