Can you recommend any non-helmet mount that you use regularly? I have discounts to PD's capture POV but i feel it's more geared towards GP than Sony.
Is it pretty usable without the housing? The lens scratches easily without it?
What's a good program to easily create time lapse? Sorry for the barrage of questions.
| Don't use that model outside the housing. The newer AS100 is somewhat equipped for non-housing use, but the model you have there is for in housing use only.
In terms of mounts, my most used:
1. Standard Roll Cage mount for a lot of car stuff - Clamps onto anything, like my headrests, or roof rails, etc.
2. Suction cup mount - for anything other than the above car related.
3. Pole/Selfie stick - As much as I hate to say it, for snowboarding it gets the most immersive action.
For anything else with helmets, like mountain biking or other shots for snowboarding, I rock a stickie on the side of my helmet and some go pro angle connectors to mount the camera upside down. Like this except upside down (adds stability): http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s...psbdb590d1.jpg
As for chest mount, yes the design isn't as conducive to that sort of mount, but the chest mount they do actually have isn't bad, you would be surprised how well it still works. I use it for mountain biking often.
Half the stuff I use for mounts and stuff is actually go-pro designed mounts. I just use one of the drift adapters to mount my sony cam to the go-pro mounts.
Like I said I prefer the design of the sony, to the teletubby looking thing everyone with a go pro rocks. |
