Abstract
A buoy incorporating a stabilized camera system can take the place of an aquatic event course marker or rounding buoy. The buoy with its camera system stabilized in either two or three orthogonal axis from the motion of the waves, allows audio and visual recording of events occurring directly adjacent to the buoy, without interfering with the event. Additionally, remote controls allow the stabilized camera to be controlled by a remotely located camera operator who directs the camera to follow event action as it passes or rounds the buoy.
