Camera mount help...please! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Just wondering if you guys have any tips for a decent camera mount?

I just bought a Yakattack Panfish camera mount and put on a contour camera and it wobbles like crazy. I even tried making a mount from schedule 80 1.25" PVC, but I can still see that it can wobble went I put the camera at the tip.

Any help would be appreciated!

I see a lot of video that doesn't wobble, are Gopros lighter, thus wobbling less?

Go Pros are very light but the PVC mount I made does flex when moving the Kayak. The thing is when shooting video or even stills on the water there seems to be no unusual movement on the video. The Kayak is constantly going up and down is rough water but the videos never seem to be affected and tends to make it look a lot smoother the it was.
