Product Information

Mount durability, which is also important, is a combination of the first two aspects. The materials and build quality come together to help you decide if your mount will last in the long run.

Your 360 camera is for photos, videos and panoramic shots. A long pole is necessary to take these types of shots, so make sure you have one before you start using your 360 camera. Some mounts are just engineered better than others, making them not only more stable but more functional as well. The last thing you want is to hike up a trail or scale a mountain and have your camera fall to its doom. The key to creating interesting skiing movies, whether you’re shooting them on a GoPro or any other action camera, is to shoot from a variety of angles. Skiing is one of the many sports for which recent GoPros are fully prepared, so when you set the camera to auto exposure you can usually be sure that it will capture excellent quality footage – at least when the sun is shining.They’re also useful for getting low-level footage, shooting close to ski or boot level to create ‘B-roll’ video clips. What GoPro settings for skiing? A GoPro surfboard mount attached to a ski can also produce some great low-level footage. Attach it on a flat, stiff part of the ski to reduce the amount of vibration that the camera is subjected to. When you edit the video together, you may only want a few seconds from some angles, but it will make your footage much more interesting and dynamic. While materials are important, you also need to look at the build quality. If the mount has poor construction, you’ll experience a range of issues.

GoPro accessories come in all shapes, and sizes and all have a unique way in which they can help us improve our filmmaking. These might gain you extra height while on location or keep your GoPro from sinking after that radical wave, thanks to flotation handles or surrounds. If you point the camera forward on your ski you may need to add an extension or two to see over the tip. Tighten these as much as possible as they can add wobble. Where to mount a GoPro for skiing There’s an increasing number of stabilizers now available for GoPro including the Removu S1 and GoPro’s own Karma grip. If you use one of these, make sure you attach the wristband if you’re handholding or again use a secondary tether if you’re clipping to a bag. It’s essential to minimise vibration when using your GoPro, so attach it as close to the carrier as possible and make sure any screws are good and tight. There are a few GoPro thumbscrew spanners available on the market and it’s worth slipping one on your keyring to take with you everywhere. A pivot arm is useful if you need to adjust the angle the GoPro. It’s also handy for raising the height of your GoPro, for example when using the surfboard mount on your ski.Some people think that helmet mounts are the best option because you capture the same footage as you see, but keep in mind that your eyes and brain combine to make a superb stabilisation system. You’ll find the quality of the video at 120fps drops slightly, but the slow-motion results are impressive. Connect to the app Ideally, you want to shoot the same run several times or runs in similar conditions. This will give some continuity when you edit the video and cut between the various angles.

All the accessories within this guide are either produced by GoPro themselves or by third parties that we know offer great solutions at a good price point to help boost your filmmaking. From chest mounts, and spare batteries, to lens mods - there is something for everyone on any budget. The bottom line here is don’t buy a mount that looks and feels like it would break under tough circumstances. You want to make sure you get one that has strength in all the right places. Always get a mount made with premium materials. That ensures it looks good and will last a long time. Without the right materials, your mount can break or the camera can fall out and break. By enabling SuperView the camera retains the footage normally lost from the top and bottom of the frame and then stretches the edges to fill the gap.Setting the camera to 60fps as a base frame rate is ideal for skiing. If you want to capture a jump or turn in slow motion, boost it to 120fps. If you’re videoing other skiers, you need to shoot from much closer than you might expect to make them appear larger in the frame.
