Buggying with Beamer 2m & Flow 3m


A video of a bit of buggying and some scudding at 13th Beach on the south coast of Victoria. Started off with the 2m Beamer in 20knots but it just wasn't quite enough so I pulled out the 3m Flow. Managed 51.6 kph and 53km of buggying in a couple of hours. There's nothing else I'd rather be doing!

Too much fun on 13th Beach

This was my first effort at extending the camera from the back of the buggy - nearly worked! I put a thin strip of rubber (1.5mm) around the axle and it completely stopped the slipping that occurred in this vid GoPro camera mount

It's a standard jockey wheel clamp, a floorboard, a two way tripod head, a bit of 6mm aluminum with a threaded 1/4 inch hole and the gopro flat adhesive mount. It appears relatively stable mainly because the lens on the GoPro is so wide angle. The beach is pretty good too.

Thanks guys,

John
