Kako (i gdje) montirati akcijsku kameru (na bilo što!)

Fotografije i video s akcijske kamere mogu biti fantastični. Ali kako dobiti najbolje snimke? Sve se svodi na montiranje kamere, a mi ćemo vam reći kako to učiniti.

Kako i gdje montirati akcijsku kameru? Najpopularnije mjesto za postavljanje akcijske kamere je na kacigu pomoću zakrivljenog nosača . Međutim, kameru možete postaviti na gotovo sve što se kreće. Čitajte dalje kako biste saznali kako. Postoje različiti nosači za različite položaje kamere. Tone jedinstvenih nosača su na tržištu. Nosače možete napraviti i sami. Trebat će vam nosač i, možda, više od jednog. Navest ćemo neke od mnogih nosača koje možete koristiti sa svojom akcijskom kamerom.

Kako:vodič

Dobra stvar kod nosača koji se isporučuju s vašom akcijskom kamerom je ta što ih možete koristiti na gotovo svemu. Obično uz kameru imate zakrivljeni i ravni nosač, kao i kopču za montiranje i okvir za montiranje. Bilo bi dobro kupiti više takvih kako biste ih mogli koristiti na raznim površinama. Njihovo odvajanje je samo stvar primjene sušila za kosu ili toplinskog pištolja na ljepilo koje drži nosač na mjestu.

Evo kako postaviti svoju akcijsku kameru na razne površine, uključujući:

Nosač za kacigu

Nosač za skateboard

Nosač za dasku za surfanje

Nosač za nogometni gol

Nosač za automobil

Nosač za ATV/čamac

Nosač za zglob

Nosač strune za pecanje

Nosač za psa

Nosač mača

Što ako vaša akcijska kamera ima drugu vrstu nosača?

GoPros koristi vrstu nosača s utorima i bočnim vijkom. Mnogi proizvođači akcijskih kamera koriste isti nosač na svojim kamerama kako bi mogli koristiti isti pribor. Međutim, ako vaša akcijska kamera koristi drugu vrstu nosača kao što je okomiti vijak, evo što vam je potrebno da prilagodite sve gore navedene nosače ovoj vrsti.

Nosači

1. Nosač za kacigu

Ovo je najlakši i najpopularniji nosač za postavljanje. Koristeći zakrivljeni ili ravni nosač, ovisno o tome gdje želite postaviti kameru, jednostavno pričvrstite bazu nosača na svoju kacigu. Pričekajte 24 sata i spremni ste.

Preferiramo nosač za bradu za kameru na kacigi. Evo uputa kako to učiniti:

• Očistite i osušite svoju kacigu prije postavljanja nosača. Želite da se ljepilo zalijepi za čistu površinu.
• Uklonite ljepilo sa zakrivljenog nosača.
• Postavite zakrivljeni nosač ispod rupa za usta na kacigi. Čvrsto pritisnite nosač tako da se ljepilo zalijepi.
• Prekrijte nosač trakom. To će pomoći pravilno pričvrstiti nosač i zadržati ga na mjestu dok se suši.
• Pričekajte 24 sata da provjerite je li suha.
• Skinite traku.
• Stavite konektor (treba biti isporučen) na nosač pomoću vijka koji ste dobili s kamerom.
• Pričvrstite kameru na konektor pomoću drugog vijka.
• Trebali biste moći malo pomaknuti kameru kako biste dobili željeni kut snimanja.
• Snimite neki sjajan video.

Utvrdili smo da postupak montaže na bradu najbolje funkcionira za akcijsku kameru, ali ovo doslovno možete postaviti bilo gdje na kacigu. Upotrijebite ravni nosač ako želite kameru na bočnoj strani kacige i koristite zakrivljeni nosač ako želite kameru na vrhu kacige.

2. Nosač za skateboard

Na skejtbordu možete snimiti izvrsne snimke i fotografije. Uz akcijsku kameru, možete postaviti kameru na svoju kacigu ili zapešće za nekoliko akcijskih snimaka, ali što ako želite kameru na samom skejtbordu? To može biti fantastičan vidikovac za kameru. ne brini Pokrivamo vas:

• Očistite i osušite područje na kojem se nalazi skateboard prije nego što stavite nosač.
• Uklonite ljepilo s ravnog nosača.
• Upotrebom ravnog nosača pričvrstite nosač na dno skejtborda.
• Prekrijte nosač trakom i pričekajte 24 sata kako biste bili sigurni da čvrsto prianja uz skejtbord.
• Uklonite traku.
• Pričvrstite kameru na nosač.
• Koristeći više trake, provucite traku oko skejtborda, preko kamere, učvršćujući kameru još više na mjestu.
• Provjerite da vrpca ne blokira tražilo na fotoaparatu.

Jeste li ikada vidjeli profesionalnu nogometnu utakmicu na televiziji? You know those goals where they show the ball going into the net and you are given a great view from the back of the net? Well, we’re going to show you how to achieve that with your action camera. For this, you will need a chest strap mount.

Stretch the strap on the chest mount to the back of the net.

Make sure you stretch the strap as tautly as you can across the net. This will help ensure stability for the camera.

5. Car Mount

There are many different places to mount an action camera inside of your car. It really depends on what you want to pick up with your camera. For car mounting, we recommend using the suction cup mounting. You can also use a couple of extender bars to increase the angle of the camera. It’s stable and adheres well to the windshield or other areas of the car.

• As always, make sure the area where you will place the camera is clean and dry. An alcohol-based liquid and a clean rag will take care of this.
• To get the driver’s view on the camera, place the suction mount in the middle of the windshield below the rearview mirror.
• You may want to dampen the suction cup before placing it on the windshield, which will help the mount stick.
• To see where you’re going AND where you’ve been, place the suction mount on the passenger side window. Position it so that the camera will pick up both the sideview mirror as well as the view out of the passenger side seat.
• If you have a sunroof, try mounting the suction cup on the inside of the sunroof. With this, you can get a shot of the road as well as your dashboard. For this, you will also need some extender bars.

For a tires-eye view of the terrain, you can use a roll bar mount to put your camera directly on the lower part of an ATV grill or winch. The roll bar mount makes this very easy. To attach the roll bar mount, just follow these instructions:

• Unscrew both thumbnuts until the clamp is at a large enough diameter to fit the intended tubing.

Tips on Taking the Best Video

As much as we love our action camera, we don’t want video that is shaky or unwatchable. To combat that, we have some handy tips for using your action camera:

• Use a mount. This will stabilize the camera.
• Find a new angle. Don’t just go for the headshot. Strap your mount to your bumper, roll bar or anywhere else you can find for a new view.
• Don’t strap the camera to the top of the helmet. This will result in shaky video. Use the chin strap method instead.
• Use filters, like a red filter for underwater. This will help remove the blue-green colorcast underwater. Use neutral density filters in bright light. Experiment.
• Try out time-lapse shooting. Your action camera should have a time-lapse mode. This can create some unique shots to add to a video.
• Plan ahead. Think beforehand of what you want your video to look like and act accordingly.
