Default Video Cameras on Kayaks/Canoes

There are several waterproof digicams out there that are meant to be
still-cams but which have powerful video modes. They cost $150-$250.

Let's see, there's the Pentax Optio series and the Olympus SW series
(I think). The Oly's are also shockproof.

That guy's website has several good pages on kayak video-ing. He uses
the Pentax's. He also has links to various sticky-pod tripods and
such. I suppose a gorilla pod would also work in some situations.
Yeah, then there are the booms---cool---you can operate them from a
sea kayak cockpit, too, I would think.
