 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All,
I'm off touring in a few weeks time and have bought myself a GoPro to have a bit of fun with. I'm going to be doing some fairly big uphill skinning thus wearing and carrying a helmet is just not something I want to be doing. So I'm after some advice from you fellow GoPro skiers on how best to mount a GoPro in the absence of being able to stick it on a helmet. Pole, head strap, chest strap, any others and each of their pros and cons would be really interesting to hear about. Thanks

Although the chest strap is great on the downhill - on the uphill it will capture terrible footage of your skis. I'd say go for a head strap so that at least you can film part of your ascents and flat ground traverses. The head strap will capture what you look at as you look up down and to the sides.

Never tried it, but I have seen ski mounts, usually towards the tip of the ski, facing in either direction. I did have a play around with attaching my camera (not a go pro, it's a bullet style one) around my calf, gave a different perspective (and once, not quite aligned properly, just showed the edges sliding in the snow)

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've also bought the Dakine one and had a play with it last night - seems well made - will be interesting to see how stable the footage is with it
