Za kamero na čeladi imamo raje nastavek za brado. Tukaj so navodila, kako to storiti:

• Očistite in posušite čelado, preden namestite nosilec. Želite, da se lepilo prilepi na čisto površino.
• Odstranite lepilo z ukrivljenega nosilca.

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.
