🎥 How to Film Awesome Content on a Jet Ski: Tips, Gear & Mounts That Make It Easy!

There’s nothing like the thrill of skimming across the water on your jet ski—the speed, the splash, the sun on your face. But imagine being able to capture every second of that excitement and turn it into share-worthy, scroll-stopping content. Whether you're a weekend rider or a full-blown Sea-Doo lifestyle junkie, creating content on your jet ski is easier—and more fun—than ever before.

And here at Dockside Essentials, we’re all about making that happen.

🚀 Why Film on a Jet Ski?

Let’s be honest: the water is where the action is. Jet skis are fast, dynamic, and just plain fun—making them the perfect platform for creating cinematic, adrenaline-packed content. Whether you're vlogging your lake day, chasing sunsets, or just capturing memories with friends, filming on a jet ski gives your content a whole new level of energy.

🔧 Start With the Right Mounts

One of the biggest challenges of filming on the water? Keeping your camera stable and getting the right angle. That’s where our custom mounts from Dockside Essentials come in.

We’ve designed high-quality, rugged mounts specifically for Sea-Doos and other jet skis. Our most popular ones include:
