| Action Camera Body Mount |
Action cameras are a
must for every photographer and videographer who needs to shoot video and
photos in extreme conditions. If you don't find a good action camera body
mount, it will be almost impossible to capture your important moments
beautifully.
In some situations, you
won't be able to hand-hold your action camera, so it's best to buy a good mount
beforehand. You may need different types of braces to complete tasks in
different environments. Like sometimes head mound, chest mound, solder mound,
etc.
Why use Body Mount for Action Camera?
We use action camera body mounts for several reasons. An accurate shot of every photograph and
videography is usually not achieved by setting up the camera and taking a lot
of time from the proper angle.
A rider must use a Head
mount to capture video and footage. In addition, the search for mines must be
carried out inside the cave, and the flashlight of the action camera must be
used. Bloggers and a traveler often use Chest Mound to capture their exciting
moments on video.
If you are a creative
photographer and videographer, you must always capture videos and photos from
multiple angles. It would help if you used an action camera body mount to
capture multiple-angle videos and pictures of any ongoing event. Today we will
discuss several categories of body mounts.
1. Action Camera Helmet Mount
Helmets are necessary
for extreme sports. They can be used to mount your action cameras.
The helmet mount also
has the advantage of allowing you to adjust the height of your camera in
different ways. A front-facing chin, strap, or side mount can be used to place
the action camera.
An adhesive flat or
curve mount is a versatile option. You can adjust the camera's position on the
helmet or change helmets depending on your participating sport. To heat the
adhesive, use a hair dryer to dry it.
A strap helmet mount is
an option if you aren't confident with the camera's adhesive.
An action camera head
mount attaches to your helmet and gives you the best POV footage that shows you
exactly what you see.
2. Action Camera Head
Mount (Head Strap)
Even if your activity
does not require a helmet, you still benefit from the same view with a head
strap.
An action camera head
mount can be purchased with adjustable straps to make it more comfortable and
secure.
You can purchase the
GoPro Head Strap for your GoPro Hero and the Quick Clip to mount your camera in
baseball caps.
These mounts may also
be compatible with other action camera brands, but make sure you check before
buying.
3. Chest Mount Harness
Another popular option
for capturing hands-free pov footage is the chest mount. It provides more
excellent stability than having the action camera on the head. This means that
you can capture better-quality footage with less camera shake. It can be worn
with almost any type of sports clothing.
It's not ideal for all
activities and sports, as your gear or hands can block the view.
It's also more
challenging to wear a chest-mounted harness if you are doing water sports that
require you use a life jacket.
The chest is a regular
body part that reduces camera movement. However, a chest mounting won't give
you the best angle of view.
You should ensure that
the body mount you choose has breathable materials.

4. Action Camera
Backpack Mount
Technically, a backpack
mount doesn't qualify as an action camera mount. But it is close enough to be
considered an option.
Depending on the
location, it can be attached to either a shoulder or chest mount harness.
Attaching the camera to
the backpack instead of the straps allows you to film the back or a third
person's perspective if you are climbing with a partner.
Clipping a microphone
to your backpack strap can improve audio quality.
5. Mask mount
Finding a body mount
for your underwater action camera can be challenging. You may already be
wearing special suits or carrying oxygen tanks, so finding one is not always
easy.
A mask mount is a
perfect way to bring your action camera to your snorkeling or diving
adventures. Octomask is a famous diving mask with a GoPro mount and a unique
frameless design. It fits all GoPro cameras.
The mask mount can be
immersive if you will pardon the pun! A mask mount is more immersive than a
head mount because it allows you to bring the action camera closer to your
eyes, increasing POV.
6. Hand and Wrist
Mounts / Straps
The most popular action
camera body mounts are wrist and hand mounts. There are floating and rotating
options and adjustable bands that can be adjusted to adjust the angle.
The perfect mount for
your action camera is a wrist or hand strap. It can be worn on almost any
outdoor adventure, including hiking, biking, and skydiving.
These mounts make it
much easier to adjust your camera settings while shooting than other body
mounts. Just make sure that it is on your non-dominant wrist so you can make
adjustments quickly.
7. Shoulder Mount
Mounting action cameras
to your chest with the body mount described previously can cause your arms and
hands to get in the way. This problem can be solved by using your shoulder to
mount the camera.
The shot will still be
immersive, but the shoulder mount keeps your GoPro Hero (or any other action
camera) away from obstructions.
You can also film
behind the camera by rotating it in its mount.
Stuntman 360 shoulder
mounting uses a 360-degree ball joint design that allows you to point your
camera in any direction. This is made possible by a single thumb screw. Mount
the action camera at one of four points: on our shoulder, in front, or behind.
This camera mount works
with all GoPro cameras, including Max and Fusion, and action cameras from Akaso
and other manufacturers, such as Apeman and DJI Osmo Action.
