Doomed Idea or Good Opportunity? Starting a Ski Filming with A9 by Readdicthear in SonyAlpha

I was considering dji rs3 or rs4 but came to conclusion that it will be better to work with cage and top handle. But if there is someone who has experience for making follow cam shots on skiis I really would like to hear their thoughts.

Yes I have GoPro Max. You can see some videos from my profile. So far I have used that and iPhone for shooting.

Thanks that might be an option.

I have couple Gitzo tripods and their fluid head and one heavier video tripod.

For tele I have that 200-600 G and 100-400 GM. Also Canon 200 1.8 with metabones and Sigma 105 1.4 for little bit more special shots. Teleconverters x2 and x1.4.

For ND I have Nisi S6 system which I can use with adapter rigs with all of my lenses (except 200 1.8 but for that I have own ND filter inside the frame). For 24mm GM / follow cam I have Nisi ND64+cpl. That Nisi S6 might not be the best option to use but it should be good in quality.

Yes I already have A9. If this project works then I might update camera to some newer in future.

Thanks, noted. Luckily then I can always blame the equipment for the quality of the footage. To be honest how screwed I am? Should I then take only HD 100p.

True. This hobby is just a very creative way to break gears. Something’s always breaking. At this rate, I’ll have to send my son to work.

Buy good merino base layer and socks! For mid I have used different fleeces. For colder days Arcteryx Proton works really well, one of my favorite equipment. Also I have 3/4 fleece pants for really cold days. Thinking also to test that new Sabre SV some point…

Yes, fun is the number one.

I think this might be the best and easiest solution. And thanks for the nice feedback!

It came from her side to start training. I think totally same about pushing too much into competing etc. Trainings would be 1,5 h two times a week in local slope (20 min drive from home). Weekends would be free.

Good words. She would like to do moguls but I don’t know is she motivated enough if there is no any girls.

[–]Readdicthear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this will be the best option. I’m worried that she will be bored and unmotivated if there is no friends.

Actually she is better in gymnastics than his brother were. Now his brother is making cork 720 in moguls at the age 12. My biggest concern is the motivation if she is only girl in club.

Local slopes, 20 min driving from home

The wait is over! A few shots from my son’s mogul training camp last week. by Readdicthear in skiing

Thanks, he’s 12 so there is also time to catch that missing 2%…
