All-In-1 Surf Kit
The Vivitar VIV-APM-7005 Surf Kit is a comprehensive accessory set for action-camera users who film on surfboards, wakeboards or water skis. It combines a board mount, a tethered security mount and a bright orange floatable cushion in one package. The kit suits anyone who wants a single solution to capture stable aquatic footage.
Industrial adhesive and tether
The board mount bonds to any flat board surface with industrial-strength adhesive pads, requiring no drilling or permanent modification. A tethered security mount adds a backup connection that keeps the camera linked to the board if the primary mount releases. The float cushion adheres to the camera housing with its own adhesive pad.
Float cushion visibility
The orange cushion keeps the camera buoyant and highly visible during extended sessions in rough water, reducing the chance of loss if the housing detaches. It is not designed for deep-water diving or as a personal flotation device. Buyers needing a dedicated dive housing or a non-adhesive mounting system should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
What material handles the stress of board mounting and repeated wipe-outs?
The mounts and cushion use aluminium alloy construction rated for industrial-strength adhesive bonding to fibreglass or epoxy boards.
How much extra weight does the float cushion add to the camera housing?
The complete kit weighs 0.23 kg, so the cushion adds only a few grams to the back of the housing.
Which mounting interface on the camera itself must already be present?
The kit attaches to the standard three-prong GoPro-style mount built into the camera housing.
