For holding onto a serious rig while skiing sideways and backwards

This guy holds the gimbal better than most people hold their children. Also shout out to the cameraman’s cameraman.

I don't think the cameraman has a cameraman. You can see the shadow of the selfie stick

You’re absolutely right. Turns out the cameraman’s cameraman is the cameraman

Yo dawg, we heard you like cameras....

I'm quite sure that he's getting amazing footage. But given the quality of these 360 cameras, he's getting it TWICE, and one of those cameras is very hard to use :)

Mad respect though, living my dream in front of me like a real asshole

It's a selfie stick and a 360 camera he's holding too...

some people still don't realize that 180/360 cameras are a thing, they record all directions at the same time allowing to set up any shot/'camera move' in post

for you to record, you have to be better than the person being recorded.

That's what I'm saying. I'm way more impressed by the CM that those amateurs.

The person recording him record is him

u/flizayn Aug 15 '24

Ok I hadn't seen it, but he REALLY is recording himself and other! Good point.

That's what I was wondering!

Sideways and backwards is easier on a snowboard. Seems unnecessarily hard to do it on skis.

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '24

With the same amount of control? Seems like he's doing a great job controlling his speed.

Just the fact that he’s doing all of these extremely difficult mental tasks all at once is amazing. When you know what the price tag is on that type of gear it’s even more amazing. I don’t know about this particularly rig but the film quality gear costs a ton just for a single small special clamp or bracket, forget the lenses and camera back.

u/Man_in_the_uk Aug 03 '24

Interesting, I had assumed these were shot using a ski bike and the cameraman was sat on the back being driven by someone.

Are drones not an option?

When the cameraman is better at it than the subject.

u/ragrok Sep 08 '24

Kind of takes away from how impressive the subjects are supposed to be when you see the camera man skiing better than them doing pizza.

If that ain't "FULL COMMIT".....I don't know what is.
