Waterproof gimbal mount for HERO7?

Cheers,

I'm having a hard time finding the "definitive" 3D gimbal mount between a GoPro HERO7 and our sailboat. Anyone?

Feiyu Tech seems to have something called WG2, but it seems discontinued and not for the 7? And the next version, WG2x, has ditched the waterproofing part :/

Re: Waterproof gimbal mount for HERO7?

I have one of these since 2018, but the don't seem to be sold on amazon anymore. While not water proof, I have no issue sailing with it. I remove it when it's not being used and just wipe it down if it got wet.

Thanks!

Unfortunately it seems they have shut down on Facebook as well.

With mixed emotions, I have shut down my Horizon True self-leveling camera mounts on line store! I have had a good run! Working with Gary Jobson and his film crew was such a wonderful experience, helping me to refine the mounts.... and great memories!! Scott Shucher and Mike Audick also pictured below with Gary. Carin and I peddled our mounts at a variety of boat shows...no regrets!
But well, if there are no obvious waterproof mounts, maybe it'll be just fine with the standard ones..

Well Drat. They had a good product. I notice they still have "send a message" on the FB site. You could alway ping them a see if they have some inventory left over. I paid $180 for my full package.
