Nice setup man. I started using the Railblaza 600 after your recommendation/review a while back. I modified mine as well by taking the platform off and using an extension set to mount my GoPro higher for over-the-shoulder shots. I then used the platform and another rail mount for the low angle front shots with the Olympus TG870. (The platform works well to support the oblong shape of the Olympus) For the perfect amount of friction on the swing of the 600 boom, I removed the screws and added Loctite and then screwed them in just the right amount for the desired swing speed. No more loosening up of the screws, and no more inadvertent moving camera angles from boat rocking. See ya out on the water. holla when you make it back to Alabama later in the year!

Hi. very nice new kayak. My comment is about the water that enters and does not come out. they use valves. scupper plugs and the water is still inside and entering. I use flapers made of adhesive rubber not only does not let it enter underneath but it keeps the kayak dry until I jump in abruptly in the kayak. Water then only comes in through the splashes and if it goes fast keeping the kayak super dry. I WISH A LOT OF LUCK WITH NEW STRIKE Kayak!

Nice video, I just bought one today, can you answer a couple questions please. I am not putting a pedal drive in it yet, but if I mount my fish finder on the front pod will it be blocked by the pedal drive when I do add one and not be able to see it? Also, I am 5'10 for me to comfortably reach the pedal drive will the seat have to be up so far that it blocks the door for the floor compartment in front of the seat? Thanks alot

Hey Robert love your vids especially the ones now with the rv, I think more of the rv/your daily routines in your vids would be pretty interesting, too me your living the dream. Have you thought about a simple truck rack for the yaks I think that would be a badass look with your setup now or for inside the toy hauler have one of your companys make you some padded kayak bags Like a surf board bag but bigger.

Very nice rig! I'm looking for a pedal drive kayak and have a couple of questions.
When you have the pedal drive raised and tilted forward I noticed the prop is exposed. Has that prop being exposed every been an issue (fish flopping around breaking it or it just getting in your way?
Also I noticed some water splashing up in front of the pedal drive when you're pedaling. Is that normal?
Thanks!

I don't have a kayak, but love watching your videos because your editing style is amazing. I caught a huge fish the other night and thought of you when I was watching the footage, I was exhausted from fighting the fish and he made a powerful run. I sounded very much like you do when they do that. You are such an inspiration. Thanks for uploading quality content.

You got it when you said boaters aren't looking for you. It's the same with motorcycles and bike riders. The driver of the car that hits them actually didn't see them because they are usually looking for other cars. I've had a few close calls on the bike.

Could you let us know how you like those wheels later. Ive been interested in them, or building something similar for my Ride 135. A few spots with rougher terrain I deal with and the carts dont work well. Too narrow, high and tippy.
