I think it's better than an "F".

Would be great if it pointed a hair more forward so you could get a view of what's in front of you while still maintaining a view of you paddling.

Very inventive...was nervous for second with the thread title..LOL!!

Being a bit on yourself there DJ , looked pretty cool to me , keep up the innovation

I thought it looked good! A view you don't see often. Good job.

I am sure the wobble can be removed, guys I know do it when editing video from kite mounted cameras for kitesurfing.

nice DJ

love ya work mate

DJ, try a small backpack with a block of foam or stiff plastic inserted, stuff the pack so the block is held secure against your back. Attach the extension pole to the foam and position the pole behind/above you. Sure it will wobble when you paddle, but edited that out like you do now. Effectively, you become the tripod and gyro so the horizon should remain relatively horizontal.

I have a picture of the rig somewhere I'll post it when I find it.

Similar to this but with pole extended further.
