Hi
I have a go pro and I am trying to figure out the most stable way to take video while swimming underwater.
I started with the head mount which as you know pics up every movement of the head. Then I moved to a single handle type mount that I can aim better but still pics up every minor vibration. I almost feel like the head mount was smoother when I remembered to really keep my head still.
I am contemplating a tray mount but when I look at videos online of people using the trays I don't see much difference.
It seems to me that the problem is that the camera is so small and doesn't have much mass to it. The same types of shots with a dslr which has a lot more mass are obviously a lot smoother. Has anyone experimented with weighting a tray or something to give the camera some mass to smooth out the minor movements?
If you have a tray or other way that works for you can you post some videos you made with it.
For now I am just going to keep the camera on my head so that I can document my trip in case something amazing happens.
