Mounting the Camera Head
The POV.1.5 comes with a Star mount, and the Double Hook and Loop mount to
assist you in mounting the camera head.
Tips for Mounting the POV.1.5
The POV.1.5 camera head can be mounted almost anywhere allowing you to
capture video from a wide range of different perspectives. Where you choose to
place the camera head will depend on your specific application.
The flexibility of the POV.1.5 allows you to shoot video from perspectives that
would normally be hard to capture, so it’s worth trying a variety of different shots
to see what the action looks like from that angle.
In order to help give you some ideas, here are some tips that cover a variety of
applications.
When possible, keep the sun (or other bright light source) at your back. This helps
provide consistent exposure for your video.
For many action shots mounting the camera onto your head, helmet, headgear, or
body provides smoother video, since your body absorbs some of the shocks.
Keep in mind that rapid movement of the camera head will often create blurry
images. If you are creating video where clarity is important and you mount the
camera on your head or headgear try to keep your head steady and not turn your
head too rapidly from side to side. If you do want to turn your head to capture
something turn it as slowly and smoothly as possible to help make the video easier
to watch.
It is often helpful to use a frame of reference in your shot that allows someone
watching the video to relate more easily to what they are seeing. Examples of
things you might include in your video to provide a frame of reference are:
This hassle-free mount easily secures the
helmet to most vented helmets using a
hook and loop fastening system. Also good
for creative mounting on bike, autos, and
recreational vehicles.
