My new camera came with a suction-cup mount that holds on to the deck of the kayak like SuperGlue. Check out this video of a failed attempt at an Eskimo Roll recovery.
Have you diagnosed what you think you may need to be successful in the Eskimo roll recovery? I watched this thing four times and it looked pretty good to me -- except that you didn't quite make it to a stable attitude the first time. Have you thought about using some skulling motion with the paddle after you have made the full initial stroke?
Of course it would help if you were young and limber, and could lean way back, like that guy who demonstrated the Eskimo rolls for us at the wooden boat festival in Port Townsend!
