ABSTRACT:
A support for mounting a camcorder, a motion picture camera, or the like on a boat mounted pylon holding a tow rope to an object such as a water skier automatically tracks movement of the water skier. A clamp fastens to the pylon and holds a rod extending upwardly offset from the pylon. A turning stand is mounted for panning rotation above the rod. A platform is pivotally mounted for tilting on the turning stand and can rotate with the turning stand. The platform is located at a level above the pylon. A guidance arm extends rigidly from the platform over the tow rope in an axial direction for attachment thereto at a location spaced from the pylon. The platform can pan in response to lateral movement of the tow rope.
