What's up, I'm Abe Kislevitz and I'm on the media team here at GoPro. Today we're snowboarding
with GoPro Athlete Elena Hight and we are going to be doing some Tips and Tricks with
the Follow Cam.
If you really want to get that cinematic follow cam, no matter how hard you try doing it handheld,
you'll always get shaky shots. I like to put it on the end of a ski pole, and it really
gives that smooth, awesome cinematic follow cam. So today I'm going to be using the Handlebar/Seat
Post/Pole mount, and I've got the rubber gasket installed. And when you buy this mount, it
comes with two of these rubber gaskets, one is a little bit larger for larger diameters,
and this is the one for smaller diameters. And I'm actually going to be using it on the
end of my ski pole to make a follow cam pole, just like this.
When I'm follow camming, my
go-to mode is 1080/60 Wide. It's the perfect combination of high-resolution, high frame
rate and it's buttery smooth.
I try to get as close as I can to the subject. You really get the best action that way.
I can't emphasize enough on just keeping the camera as steady as you can. Don't worry about
chasing the person left and right, but keep that camera steady across as they pan in and
out of the action, and let that wide angle capture all of the action.
Alright, that was follow camming with the Handlebar/Seat Post/Pole mount with the GoPro
Media Team and GoPro Athlete Elena Hight.
