Mounting a camera on a bank stick?

[John Newman]

Anyone know if there is a screw fitting available to mount a camera on to the thread at the top of a standard bankstick?

I mostly fish alone and presently take photos with fish in the net or on an unhooking mat but would like to include my mugshot. I fish roving style so don't want to cart my camera tripod around with me but I do normally have a bankstick handy.

Yes, available in most tackle shops.

You should also look at Gorilla pods, they are great

Gardner camera adapter available in the BFW shop

I have used one for years and have some good photos but the first few photos were not too good (too far away) so once you get the screw fitting have a practice.

Thanks guys

The Gardner Camera Angle Adaptor looks like what I need as my camera is a pretty serious bit of kit and fairly heavy. I can use the remote shutter release as well. Been borrowing the wife's compact but the photos are rubbish in comparison.

The Gorilla SLR is what I've been using. Much more handy when you can't get a bank stick in.
