Great video! Where did you find the traveller ends with turning blocks and cleat?

I havent been able to find 1" track fittings for my 25d, but use the traveller a lot.

Thanks, All.
Pete - The backrests are manufactured by a company called C-Cushions located somewhere in Texas. Cape Dory coamings were not designed for an aging back. These are very comfortable and even snap to the coaming to prevent losing them overboard.
Frank - The traveller ends came with the boat. I did replace the rail and the car, but kept the ends.

Gary, what camera do you use? Looks like it has a leveling feature or is on a gimbal mount?

Frank, if I'm not mistaken, those appear to be Harken traveler end controls w/cams. Harken switched over to all metric a few years ago, I believe, but the 27mm (midrange boat size) fittings may work for your 1" track. The 1.5mm (1/16") difference may not matter for fixed controls.

Bob,
I used a GoPro camera (wide angle, waterproof, shock resistant action camera) mounted on a horizon true self-levelling mount. The horizon true mounts are made specifically for sailboats - designed and manufactured by a sailor in Minnesota. They are pricey but make a big difference when taking sailing videos. With a normal stationary mount the boat appears to stay still regardless of the heel and only the horizon angle changes. An expensive toy but when sailboats and cameras are your two favorite things- its worth it.
