The rubberball/clamp eye bolt ..goes on a bucket ..the front lip of my flip over . I also use a GoPro style Jaws mount knock off as my actual camera holder ...this clips atop my Vexilar Ultra case...flip over hoop pole .. I also have a Genz Box ..using some self adhesive GoPro style mounts and then use the eyebolt and rubber ball . When scouting point the camera down 45 degs...dont have to go down as far ...quick spin ...note any structure and/or fish and mark that hole and off to the next hole ..I then fish all the marked holes first in my search for fish.
So in terms of aiming the camera you let it settle then rotate the ball to control how much of a turn the camera takes. Nice solution!
Exactly ...but MICRO movements ..you will get the hang of it ...another tip take a silver Sharpie and mark the cord ..the first 10 feet in 1-2 foot increments ..Note I dont know what direction N,S,E,W my camera is pointing ..but if your jigging.. 2-3 feet is from jigging hole to your camera is fine ..pointing the camera up seems best for me ..so its below my bait . My set up in my flip over is a camera hole ..and then a dead stick hole 45deg right for deadstick and 45deg left for my jigging rod .https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=318968.msg3357500#msg3357500
