I found our camera, a standard pocket fixed focus photo/video Kodak, liked to be 2 feet behind and 1 ft sideways outside the pulpit to capture the whole cockpit and the boat. PVC pipe is a little less expensive than SS and easier to work. You can buy a 3/4" electrical conduit to fit inside a 1" test fit in store.
mount the big pipe to the pushpit rail. Mount the camera to a proper mount fixed to the smaller conduit with a few bends to get it outboard and insert that assembly into the sleeve when you want to capture video.

I’ve been experimenting with various locations for a GoPro video camera, and so far am not happy with any –
I have attached to
Bow pulpit, (only a limited view of random boats, rarely it is great in crowded starts and mark rounding’s)
suction cup on mast, ( only hear mast noises, and half the time the Genoa blocks the view)
Backstay, (could be good, but it quivers and shakes, so it is hard to view)
Rear pulpit or pushpit, whatever, ( usually my head or others body in the way, occasionally ok.)
I don’t think I am ready for one of those nice Horizon True hydraulically gimbaled mounts for 350 – 500 bucks. Yet.
My next thought is to weld a couple feet of 1” tube to a SS Clamp straight up from the rear pulpit, but I am curious if anyone has found or seen a good location for these gadgets before I re-invent the wheel.
