Merry Christmas!

5" on top of the 24" from yesterday made for some fine ski turns!

Yowzer!, Im pretty sure my 8 yo set her personal speed record on skis last night! I feel like that right hand turn out the bottom was something special lol

This new GoPro Max 360 is pretty slick! I spent the day trying out different mount positions.

1)The head mount 360 mode would be good if you really want to see everything , including your friend to the side or whatever but it does have that high disconnected feeling

2) the chest mount 360 mode is cool , makes it feel like you are really in it

3) chest mount regular mode was really nice and smooth compared to the Hero10 Ive been using

4) chest mount 360 on snowboard might work in specific context

5) forward and rear selfie stick on board was real nice! Though I don't like riding with a stick in front of me to potentially skewer myself!

I'm stoked on this new 360 mount position!
Looks kind of dorky irl but the results are amazing!!

Killer angle on the video!
I’ve never seen that

Can you show the contraption you’ve built?
I like your super simple chest mount too.

^^ I was thinking of doing a little side video showing all the camera mount options and the pros and cons to each...

but for this setup I used a carbon hiking pole with a threaded bolt embedded in the rubber tip to mount the cam. Then I laced the waist belt of the pack through the wrist strap of the pole . Last I looped a piece of parachute cord from the pole, up and over opposite shoulder and laced through sternum strap of pack.

Its a work in progress but seems to be getting half decent results !

And yes the GoPro 360 gets better footage then my old Hero10 when used in standard chest mount view. I'm not super stoked on the audio quality though, seems tinny.

Loving that camera angle from behind. Pretty cool.

[carpathian]

^^ yeah it really feels like its opened a whole new level of creativity and immersion with the riding . Yay technology!

Nice work. You might be increasing the snow-go sales.

I was thinking I should start running Ski-doo ads at the front of the episodes, ya know pro bono sort of thing until they give me a sled ...lol
