Product Information

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. 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. You’ll find the quality of the video at 120fps drops slightly, but the slow-motion results are impressive. Connect to the app However, the Daytripper doesn’t just take a GoPro and associated gear. It’s also capable of taking plenty of other outdoor photography gear, such as drones, DSLRs, tripods and gimbals. After all, if you’re covering all the bases as a photographer, there’s a high chance you want to take a GoPro along, but not exclusively. 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.

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. Although the mount itself is removable, it’s sadly not possible to use on the right-hand shoulder strap, which might annoy left-handers.

As someone mentioned it can cause a bruising if you mount it on your chest and you do a belly flop on to it, but that’s a far step away from being a true danger risk (especially compared to the risk of someone doing some extra risky to record for social media) The GoPro SuperView setting enables the camera to capture footage at the full height of the sensor and then dynamically stretches the edges to fill the frame. GoPro Time-lapse video can be fun at any timeand it works well with skiing, for example capturing a full run in double time. These gimbals aren’t miracle workers, but they make a huge difference to the quality of your footage. They’re especially useful when you want to ski alongside, in front or behind someone to capture their moves.

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.

A built-in shoulder mount for all GoPros and room for a hydration bladder makes this backpack a hands-free hero in the hills

The long hot days of summer are a distant memory and the ski season is in full swing. That means it’s time to get your GoPro action cam ready for some winter fun, making sure you have the right mounts and settings selected before you hit the slopes. To help we’ve put together our top GoPro skiing tips to create perfect skiing videos. That’s where the Daytripper’s huge front pouch comes in. It’s got some belly on it, so can take a drone in a protective case as well as a DSLR, though it might be wise to use a holster-style covering on the latter. If you’re cycling/skiing/snowboarding/hiking then there’s plenty of room here for extra layers, waterproofs or lunch. 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.

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. 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. Universally compatible across the entire GoPro range and the majority of action cameras available today. So should you choose to upgrade your cameraat any point, you can be safe in the knowledge that you wont have to upgrade your mount too. Chest and wrist mounts are the safest solution when it comes to skiing. The design of both means that once attached there is little chance of them coming loose without you noticing. 2. Helmet mounts for GoPro The last thing you want is to hike up a trail or scale a mountain and have your camera fall to its doom.Some mounts are just engineered better than others, making them not only more stable but more functional as well. If you have more than one GoPro you can shoot from several angles at one time. But the simple alternative is to move your camera to different positions or shift between different mounts. If you use a GoPro Hero4, or other non-waterproof model, you should use it in a waterproof case/housing to keep it safe from the snow.

Here are some of the key GoPro mounts for skiing that you will find most useful to record the footage you want: 1. GoPro body mounts 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.

How to use a GoPro skiing

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. 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. The faster the frame rate, the smoother the footage that you’ll capture. When you’re skiing, the scenery will be shooting past you so you need a fast frame rate to keep up and to help avoid a jerky movie.
