FILMING FISHING PART 2 - GOPRO MOUNTS! The best GoPro mounts for making fishing videos + GEAR LINKS!

[@rjf1877]

Thanks for the videos ! I'm using my GP 10 for filming fly fishing trips. I found that the best body mount was a SNAP Magnetic mount. With this mount there are no straps or buckles to deal with ( I've got enough of those already ) and the magnet can place the camera high up on either shoulder chest/ area and not in the way of rod hand. Another need feature is that it is super easy to switch the camera to another mount. I've use one for about 3 yrs and it works great, never, ever comes loose, even when I inadvertently take a swim !

Thanks for the tip, I’ll check it out!

Love the intro music !

[@RAGEFISHING]

I’m going to have to watch it again to remember which song I used! 😁 It’s from Epidemic Sound.

[@BrianRogers-w2k]

Thank you for such great information. This series has really helped me get a shopping list to get started filming my fishing. Tight lines!

[@RAGEFISHING]

Glad it was helpful! In hindsight, I should of done it in order 3, 1 and 2. Part 3 really answers a lot of questions for folks just getting started.

Very nice overview especially that you show how does the view looks with each of them. Definitely will recommend to friends who are new in gopro theme.

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it. 📸🎣

[@Mouafishingthings]

man you are aweome! Thank you sir! Best Go Pro fishing setup explanation videos by far!

[@RAGEFISHING]

Thanks for the feedback! It’s appreciated! 👍🏻

I just found your page and watched part 1&2 of your series. I know this is a two year old video, but I appreciate you for doing these! I just picked up a hero 8 for a fishing trip in Bali next week. First time GoPro user and this answered a lot of questions I couldn’t find on google or Reddit. Going to do a trial run on my local river to get the reps in. Thanks! On to video 3 now!

[@RAGEFISHING]

Thank you for taking the time to comment, you’ll like part 3! I should have done these in reverse order. I have some newer GoPro reviews with some tips as well and I plan to buy the new 13 soon. The hero 8 is a great camera! I still use mine, it was the first camera I had with the newer image stabilization, which is a must have! Let me know if you have any questions: you can also find me at Rage Fishing on Facebook and @steelheadrage on IG. Good luck!

@@RAGEFISHING All three videos had good content and definitely helped get me ready for my first GoPro adventure. I’ll be sure to give you a follow on social media. Thanks again!

[@RAGEFISHING]

@virgilhainsey8873 I’m glad they were a help, I was mainly pointing out the other socials so you could message me with questions, but I appreciate the follow as well!

[@Fish_On5252]

Great to see that folks are posting the hard blanks too, I did the same too I wasn’t sure if I was going to but I did

[@RAGEFISHING]

Not sure if auto correct changed something in your post…

[@Craigsoutdooradventures]

Some great ideas there, I’m struggling to get a good perspective on my fishing videos so this has given me a few ideas thanks

[@RAGEFISHING]

Glad it helped!

[@charlesscappaticci3041]

Also the best video I've seen on using the gopro for fishing. Thanks!

[@RAGEFISHING]

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. 👍🏻

[@FishingWithDL]

Super helpful. Thank you so much 🙏

[@RAGEFISHING]

You’re welcome! Thanks for the feedback! 🎣

[@ljambeck]

Great video. Thank you for the wealth of information!

[@RAGEFISHING]

Thank you and you’re welcome! I am filming a new one for the Hero 12. I need some time to test it out to get completed, so watch for that. I appreciate the feedback. 🎣

[@ljambeck]

@@RAGEFISHING awesome, can’t wait! This video series has me looking at the go pro site haha!

[@RAGEFISHING]

@@ljambeck they’ve had some awesome deals on the new camera. I bought it for $299 from GoPro. That’s hard to beat.

[@ryanb2182]

Nice information buddy! Helps wade through all the options a person has while getting into filming.

[@RAGEFISHING]

Thank you! I’ve certainly wasted a lot of time and money on stuff that didn’t work.

[@ScheidenMc]

So many mounts and options. I am thinking of just getting 3 or 4 kinds for the beginning. Video suggestion: must have / minimum equipment for a beginner.

[@RAGEFISHING]

True; I would say a chesty for sure, followed by a tripod if you’re running 2 cameras. So basically a body worn and a hard mount of some sort. If you’re going to be fishing in a boat, then substitute the tripod for a clamp on or adhesive mount.

[@Justin-zs1ql]

I'm going to have to pick up one of those hats. The head strap gives me a headache as well. I tried the shoulder strap on the Umpqua chest pack but the footage always seemed wanting when compared to the head strap footage.

[@RAGEFISHING]

Hey Justin! Yeah, they work much better. I like using my hero 8 with it because it’s still small like the old GoPros.

[@gottria]

Great reviews. Have you looked into0 the 360 cameras?

[@RAGEFISHING]

Thank you! I have not looked into the 360 other than watching some promotional videos. They look pretty cool, I might have to check them out further. Have you used them?

[@gottria]

@@RAGEFISHING Not a lot, but you can pick what you want to view from the 360 video, so no more making sure the GoPro is pointing at the subject you want to film. I'm doing an Alaskan fishing trip end of month so we will see.

[@charlesscappaticci3041]

Can the adhesive mounts be attached to my fishing vest?

[@RAGEFISHING]

No, they are for hard smooth surfaces like on a boat or vehicle.

[@justindavis2282]

What’s your thoughts on shoulder mounts? Like over the left shoulder if you’re right handed. Another guy on KZbin was suggesting they were better than chest mounts since your hands/arms are not in the way and they give you a 3rd person type of view.

[@RAGEFISHING]

I tried one version of a shoulder mount a few years ago, I didn’t like it much myself, the chest mount works great for me. I’m always aware of where my camera is and rarely block the view. You just have to be mindful of it.
