SunSurfer Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Agree with Corey, great perspective! Had you thought about trialling a 90 degree rotation in camera angle to get the "landscape" format when you're right up on edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had you thought about trialling a 90 degree rotation in camera angle to get the "landscape" format when you're right up on edge? Yes, thought of it after seeing the result of this experiment with a simple upright mount and then rotating the view in the computer afterwards. I've found that I have have a proclivity for making "headless" rider shotsof myself─probably some deep-rooted psychological issues I'm not ready to explore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patmoore Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Terrific shots. When I've tried mounting the GoPro at the rear, I get snow on the lens. The tip cam produces an interesting perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been wondering if it’s possible to mount a cam on the board on some kind of gimble, maintaining a horizontal perspective and providing a real view and f what is happening on the snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davekempmeister Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Quote Shawndoggy was the first person that I saw post from this perspective. Loved it ever since. Probably a little too much. I personally use a bead of clear silicone around any mount on the surface of the board. Works well in the cold cold, where adhesives have failed. I have walked back up the line a few times. Never fully lost a camera yet, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekempmeister Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 I like the rear view angle, sometimes. I pretty much put any open source music to it to get rid of the horrid scritch and scratch. Some of my older boots make a bunch of noise too. one of these angles have my camera affixed to the side of my boot, pointed "up". @ 1:03. i gotta try more with that.

patmoore Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Wrong sport but interesting comparisons. I videoed one my pacesetting runs at Okemo's NASTAR course a few years ago and matched up the helmet cam and tip cam. Note that in the helmet cam view, the ski tips stay pretty much parallel but in the tip cam view, the distorted fisheye lens of the GoPro shows the ski tips diverging badly. The follow up video shows what happens when you don't use a strong enough adhesive.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
