 Poster: A snowHead
|
Okay I realize there are numerous topics on this forum regarding GoPro and their alternative mounts as I have probably read about a dozen of them.
So my GoPro Hero comes with a helmet mount, however I am looking to purchase one other mount and I am stuck between three possibilities.
Chest Strap
Stick
Hand Strap (Sorry if these aren't the official names)
Numerous youtube videos and forum searches outweigh disadvantages and advantages for all three.
Chest Strap - the advantages for me would be: - totally hand free, therefore wouldn't impact your skiing ability
the disadvantage that i have found after visiting many sites was that it seems to wobble and move a lot more, and you don't get much of "you" in the video as your constantly behind the camera.
Stick - Advantage - can prop it up in bars for Apres Ski shots. Takes good shots of you skiing.
disadvantages - can impact your skiing ability, doesn't film down the slope. (or does it?)
Wrist Strap - Advantage - discreet and flexible
Disadvantage - can be broken easily if wiped out etc.
So I would like to have a combination of me skiing down the slope, as well as filming the terrain in front of me, so the obvious choice would be the helmet mounts which it comes with and a stick mount, however I am slightly worried how hard it is to transfer one to the other, as I don't want my fellow skiers to be waiting for me, so can anyone recommend how easy it is to do so?
or any other mounts they recommend? Even if they believe I am making a mistake and should choose a chest Mount. Sorry if this long winded question doesn't make much sense.
Cheers

Chesty doesn't bound around.
Stick can be reversed on gopro so can film up or down, or front facing you, or back over shoulder facing downhill.
Wrist strap, next to useless for skier.
Get an SP pole, it goes in a pocket, can double as a selfie stick (if that's your bag) or you can stick them in the snow and get these shots.

Go for chest mount, much better than head mount.
Also get a pole mount, makes sense as you're carrying them anyway.
That should cover you for everything you need
