Thats an interesting view, could work though. Nice one.

Nice idea that. The only thing i learnt was you need to move slower when doing things like this as it becomes blurry and can make people feel sick, (like what happened when i attached mine to my rigging line). Enjoy filming stuff and i recommend having a go with the time lapse modes too.

thought it went ok, but am going to try loads of different ways or mounting it and stuff like that to see what happens, and am going to have ago at a time lapse soon, what setting do you have yours on for video shooting and for time lapse?

Not saying it wasn't a good shot:001_rolleyes: You even beat me to it, i was thinking of bolting it to the handle with the extender brackets.

 

If im felling 1-5 seconds. Climbing 15-30 or crane work 60 seconds. Im still working out how to keep a camera safe in the stem when felling/sectioning:thumbup1:

I attached the camera with the head mount that goes through vents of my helmet, and then attached that to the back handle, then used some sort of mount to change the direction of the camera, what video shooting mode do you use? my only concern about mounting at the front of the saw is about the heat aspect.

The extender bar to keep it up and away from the heat. I would mount it on the top handle grip too. It become addictive finding ways to place the camera.

Also i shoot in r4 or r5 depending on light r5 if its a bit duller as its gathers the most data. But it also makes the file huge.
