Chest mount is the way to go as a skier. Given you’re snowboarding I understand you missed that in your video but chesty for skiing makes a huge difference! It captures your hands and ski tips, makes the viewer experience your true POV with some reference.
I used a chest mount but in the editing the footage didn’t turn out too great. Due to my bad posture all the videos were recording the ground! So I much rather prefer the helmet mount
Yeah. A few minutes showing how to carry/position a selfie-stick for different shots would be helpful. Is having a wide-angle lens on your camera a must?
I'm in the market for a selfie pole for skiing, what length would you recommend? Choice is 24'' or 48''. I'd like as compact as possible but don't want to miss out on half the shot!
Thanks for the video. I switched from the head mount camera to chest mount. I find head mount video is hard on the stomach to watch because the head is always moving but your chest is almost always stable and pointing in the direction you're skiing in.
Does the head strap mount ever come off when you have a really bad wipe out my I have been going in really thick powder and I don’t want my camera to get lost
Hey man, just found ur channel cool vids! Subbed :). I recently bought a hero 7 silver (before the 8 came out) because it seemed a great starting option and because of my budget. Would a karma grip be thé upgrade for my set up to start making some nice vids on the mountain? In the future I wanna upgrade to a hero7 of 8 black when I get some more experience with filmmaking, for now the silver is fine I think
it's all cool. But why did you not show how you put that strap on your helmet? for me it's better to use extra sticker with a small rope to hold gopro if it goes off than strap my brains out of blood so that thing does not move.
I have the headstrap. My helmet has that stupid clip on the back for your goggle straps and it makes it impossible to efficiently put the strap on the helmet. The clip doesn't PROPERLY come out.
I’m just learning Video taking e with my Go Pro 9. I live in a Rocky Mountain Community with MTB Trails and a Ski Hill and a Whitewater River in the middle. I Hike with my Dogs and they will be a large part of my Videos. I Snowboard Ride a MTB and “Float the River”. A video to show the Settings I’ll need to capture clear imagery would be greatly appreciated.
Now that it's 2021 do you have any new recommended gear? I currently have snowboard trip next Saturday. Looking to get something for stable footage. I was digging the idea of the mouth piece from the ones you mentioned. Same time not trying to break the bank. Although, I would love the gimbal cause it looks so buttery smooth.
Hello boss and happy holidays! I was going on a ski trip this week and I am filming with the go pro hero 8 as well. any tips on what sd card and what mounting device I should use? Truly appreciate the help thank you.
I don’t know if you are going to see this but what do I do if my GoPro batteries keep dying in the cold because I always want to film on the snow but my batteries always die.😕
Is it ok to use the sticky mount at small “hills” like maple ski ridge XD you prob don’t know where that is but if you have been to jiminy peak the top peak is like the novice trail
I have a hero 5, would you recommend buying a gimbal or just upgrading to a hero 7/8 with built in stabilization and 240fps slow mo? the sensor is obviously improved as well on the new models but it is more expensive. any advice for me?
The GoPro max is amazing! I highly recommend that if you don’t need slomo over 60fps. If you do I would get the hero 8. The new gopros are super impressive.
Head strap over adhesive mount?? I'd like to see you pull off an adhesive mount. Not a chance. Also the pole mount not a bike mount. Bike mount won't fit on a ski pole.
I bought a Ruroc helmet and attached a chin mount, it gives by far the best looking video. Haven't used it for snowboarding but I tried it on a longboard and it's way better than a helmet mount.
Hey Johnathan - I just picked up a GP Hero 6 Black and a Karma Grip Gimbal, what video settings do you recommend for shooting for overcast days and sunny days for both with the gimbal and with a fixed mount (pole or helmet)? Thanks for any input. Keep up the great videos!
I let the go pro shoot in auto and 1080p 120 FPS. I don’t want to mess with lighting and ND filters when I am making a video every day. Just shoot standard setting and you will get sick shots
Johnathan Buckhouse i just purchased the foam cover for the camera hoping it blocks some of that wind hitting the camera making it colder then it already is. What is ur prefered frame rate and resolution. I like the 2.7k in 60fps but that mode in superview last for about 5 minutes on the mountain.
