First test with the Swivel Mount (VIDEO)

[MikeMetzger]

Unfortunately the darn GoPro kept fogging up, making the picture look like garbage, but I decided to still make an edit regardless. Cant wait to dial this mount in and use it for some sweet edits. Enjoy!

How did you do it?

That's awesome man!

 

[MikeMetzger]

Its actually really easy, I just copied this concept, but for the post, I used a leg from a tripod so I could collapse it and fit it in my backpack when Im not using it. Also for the "weight" I used a magnet from an old 6x9 speaker.

Where is Bear Paw

I see you have been riding at Bear Paw. Where is that?

Oh Ive been to BearPaw plenty, but not this season. This is my favorite zone, Smithbrook boondocking which is just past Stevens Pass.

Swivel Mount

That swivel mount is the cats Meow bro. Is it heavy on the helmet? My Go Pro fogs every now and again, Ive tried the go pro no fog things and they didn't help any, do you got any tricks?

 

[MikeMetzger]

Not too heavy, maybe 5lbs, but since A) its balanced, and B) when you're riding your focused, You don't even notice it. Until it bounces off a tree lol No idea on the defogging..... I think the best and only real way is to just take a break, put it under the hood and let it dry out.

 

[Bocephus]

mine never fogs. is it fogging on the inside?

 

[MikeMetzger]

Yeah, on the inside

 

[Troy Magrum]

That thing is going to really add some new dimension to your videos. This is the first I've seen of anything like it. Thanks for the video.

 

[Bent tail brewing]

Yeah, on the inside

They make little white strips to put inside, I put one on each side of the camera in the housing. Make sure the strips are dry and do it inside your house before you go. You can use them over and over just put them in the oven to re-activate, Cool mount btw.

how do you control the wand, keep it moving correctly?

 

[MikeMetzger]

I dont, its just counter balanced with a weight, so as my weight moves around it just pivots as it wants. Sometimes before I start going Ill give it a spin just to get a cool effect.

 

[MikeMetzger]

1/4 inch hole aint gunna hurt nothin

Drilling a hole in your helmet? No Thanks!

 

[Anthony Reister]

awesome

U should try putting a camera on the other end. (2 cameras)
Cool to do a split screen edit with 2 diff angles of the same ride.

 

[MikeMetzger]

Good call! Definitely worth trying!

 

[Lushbomb]

looking forward to seeing some downhill pow action with one of these..
