Flip test run

Today, I decided to take the camera on a test run – literally. I was curious what kind of quality video I could get if I ran with the camera. Conclusion: not very. A warning if you watch this video that you might get dizzy from all the movement. The only way I think the running with the camera will work is if I’m focused on another moving object. So if I’m running alongside someone else who is running that might work for short clips, but that’s about it. – Kristina

  1. Hi Kristina-

    I have an idea for your running footage:

    Try attaching the flip to a bike with this:
    http://www.amazon.com/AAM1N-Action-Mount-Ultra-Camcorders/dp/B000VJTKRY/ref=pd_sim_p_title_5

    Then turn the camera to the side so it’s pointing out to the side and not to the front. Then have someone roll the bike alongside the runner. It will work like a track dolly (kinda) and will be much smoother. If you turn the camera forward again you can follow someone from behind.
