How to film skiing, while skiing - Gimbal Operator

Hi, I'm Alex
Here is how I film skiing while skiing
We drop in and I start followcaming.
So I ski alongside the other athlete, while I'm filming. I do this from various angles.
Sometimes I'm close, sometimes I'm far away Sometimes I hit jumps It all depends on what kind of shot I want to get.
I use different kinds of cameras, depending on the production. All from GoPro to 100.000 euro Cinema-Cameras
I have used 26 different gimbals for the last 8 years.
I'm always looking for a new way to capture skiing.
Sometimes I mount the gimbal on a long pole That way I can get closer to the athletes.
The hardest part is that some of them are the best skiers in the world.
Some people say it's dangerous to ski with a camera in 80 km/h.
But I skied all my life.
At this point, it's basically like walking to me.
Which is great, then I can focus on getting the shot I want.
I'm a professional Gimbal operator and follow-cam skier from Åre, Sweden

Incredible talent! I can barely get down a green run without carrying any gear.

So sick! I love filming but I snowboard instead of skiing - feels much harder carrying a camera on snowboard :)

Hey Alex, I was wondering if you have ever got into capturing the sound while skiing. I'm trying to figure out a way to capture a good quality sounds of rails, takeoffs landings, slashes etc. I have the DJI Mic now. Which is definitely the equip to use now. I'm just wondering if you may have some experiences, where to clip the mic. As there's a high chance of damaging or loosing the mic, while clipping it somewhere on the pants, or close to the ski boots area. Cheers mate

I use a gopro max 360 camera mounted on my helmet or gimbal. To capture BTS footage ;)
