Review: 3rd Person View camera mount (ALL SPORTS PRO version)

www.sailvideosy...
This is a demonstration of the third person view mount that I've been using in a few videos, and an impression of its quality so far.
Pros:
Quality materials, durable construction
Versatile mount for a variety of different cameras
Lightweight, comfortable to wear
Cons:
Relatively high price
The black finish scratches easily

Definitely worth the Es, no matter how you slice it. I was really impressed with the bow shots filmed with it. Very steady, fun to watch and also indicative of shoulder movement which you can't normally see from typical angles

[@NoFormalTraining]

I gotta say it looks very surreal seeing you move around with the camera POV behind you AND following you, but still very interesting and certainly something with a lot of potential for future videos.

[@PhilipOlesen]

Ugh, the sound of velcro gives me shivers of uncomfortability. Apart from that, awesome video!

[@rasnac]

That forest in Fall background view is really beautiful.

[@hassanfakiri]

Happy to see you are making great videos again Skallagrim. I have a request though. Made an updated video on how you and Cara enjoy Canada so far, with some comparison to Norway. Enjoy and thank you!

[@Bartolomeus002]

To all who are considering buying a 3rd person view mount for your action camera. What I recommend is VuVantage 3rd person backpack mount. Pros: extra light, compact, stable, it goes into backpack so you can take it out anytime and record and believe me walking around with poles like these from Sail is pain in the ass, price. Cons: less angles, sometimes when there is high air resistance the pole can switch a bit too easy... you really have to tighten it up which is a bit problematic cause the tightening system is a bit flawed. To sum up if you want crazy angles and do not care about comfort go for Sail. If you look for comfort, practicality and agility go for VuVantage. Hope it helped.

[@midnightwolf14000]

6:21 this must be what the terminator looks like when hes trying to get it on

[@FrozenLemur]

Very cool! The shot of you running looks funny from that angle.

[@TemenosL]

That third-person view looks awesome. Somewhat like a video game. I'd like to see some duels with that on!

[@Halavere_Blackraven]

You found a nice spot for this, love the wilderness up north. Thats a pretty sick setup. You'd think something that long would be pretty heavy, but it doesn't seem to be that bad.

[@saje91]

Great video Skall could you do a swordfighting video with one of these on? would be so immersive

[@fernandocabette6050]

Beautiful scenery!

[@dragonscrafty]

God dang it skall, that run with the cam looks like its from dayZ xD

[@ilaninglis]

Dang it Skall, the woods look so nice! how about a nature shots video? fall is the best season for it.

[@srspower]

That is really cool! Do you think its construction is strong enough to mount a sony handycam safely? In combination with a head mount it would be perfect for filming practical comp shooting :)

[@rncftw]

I was expecting the shake to be way worse when u were walking but it was fine. Even when you were running it wasn't that bad either.

[@ImezameI]

being used to the pricing on high quality movie equipment it gave me a chuckle when you commented on the price as being a bit high. but then again, when you're used to lightbulbs costing 20+ USD then it's not weird that products for the private market comes off as kinda cheap. also, inb4 3rd person swordfights

[@seze93]

Nice Review as usual! Ps greetings from Austria :)

[@w3lch111]

hey skall I was wondering something im starting to learn how to cast bronze swords and I wanted to know if there's any specific types of bronze used to cast swords so if you know anything i would appreciate the knowledge

[@tomeiker2709]

How about a third person shooter video? I'm curious as to how the recoil would affect the camera.

[@slashdragonican9326]

5:38: Skallagrim the Video-game

[@bigredc222]

Very cool mount, great invention, it's built very well, you have to pay for quality, even running it looked cool as hell, just like a video game. Thanks

[@wespike81]

Skalrim, the newest RPG LOL

[@Sheridantank]

That's pretty cool and once refined some maybe it'd be useful in some ways

[@The1Helleri]

I am wondering if a camera could be fitted in the gimbal (replacing the rotor) of a large gyroscope. Might act as a stabilizer. Would have to be tightened a bit. I mean base on the weight of the camera, how stiff the allowable movement is would have to change...might need some spring bars to act as resistors for over extension when doing sudden motions.

[@shitonyourface12121]

Hello, I really enjoy your videos and I find it interesting to see how certain weapons work and also see advantages and disadvantages of certain historical weapons (mostly swords). I wonder if you could scrutinize Frostmourne, the Lich King's sword. Keep up with the great work!

[@fringis1]

Monsieur Skallagrim, would love to hear your say on bows, and bows in general. Oh and great video, all ready have a dozen things I want that for.

[@adamramadan8693]

Hey skall, could you do a video about the practicability of a wrist blade from assassins creed?

[@christianscott2168]

He talks about that in the wrist crossbow video.

[@StairFacts]

I'd say that if you *really* wanted to use that thing, you'd probably have to give up a finger like Altair.

[@toryunaminosaki1022]

Why not just a regular knife? Done

[@SandraudigaVali]

Can't wait to see vloggers walking around with that thing in front of them

[@ChainPope]

HI Skall! Please can you do a video of flails? fighting, advantages and disadvantages. would be very interesting to know. thank you in advance

[@Tolukov]

thank you for your review, it was very helpfull for me, I was looking to buy it and now I´m convienced

[@jokesontojo]

This is amazing!!!! Totally want to get this ^-^

[@Jesuskrieger]

Hey Skall, I came across a website procuring various Medieval and Renaissance weapons called Manning Imperial. A lot of things they have are quite expensive, but I agree with your sentiment of "you get what you pay for" when it comes to things like this, but do you know much about this seller specifically? I found particularly interesting their Italian swept hilt rapier (ca. 1580-1620 style), sold for $2030.00 USD. Not that I have the money for such a thing. What are your thoughts on a rapier this expensive, and could you find great ones for not quite that much? Thanks, and great video as always.

[@Jesuskrieger]

And by procuring, I actually mean purveying. My mistake.

[@LaughingOwlKiller]

Just to add some more input...On the Swordbuyers digest and other reviews it seems they are good quality blades. Only thing negative I've heard is the Prices. Of course they are based in Australia so International shipping would be a pain.

[@ryanraws942]

Could you use this in conjuction with a small cheap camera stablizer?

[@92alexmaster]

what do you think about a sword that has the basic curved Katana design and steal, BUT it has a double edge, a European style cross guard, and a heavy pommel to shift the center weight closer to the hand?

[@Thrand11]

Very nice rig for GoPro :D

[@wantedwario2621]

I like how he casually lives in Skyrim

[@coquitlamtowingportcoquitl2405]

Helped me out setting up 3rd person view mount from Sail. Thanks

[@jasonmcgarva1263]

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering how this thing would really look with ordinary video. I was thinking of getting this to record myself touring Europe, but I didn't realize how far it sticks out. That'll look a bit strange.

[@WalcomS7]

FWACK. I knew it wouldn't support fat kids. I want one of these more than I want my liver... That being said, you could definitely make something yourself using PVC pretty cheaply and unless you are trying to get third-person dirt biking footage, you won't worry about breaking anything.

[@Benamon9]

Eat healthier, do full-body activities, get pig.

[@toryunaminosaki1022]

Benamon9 get a bicycle..I've lost 20lbs riding mine around town

[@wunfeather4787]

I have been using my DJI Osmo with the gimbal on it, and it seems to take away more of the motion as I walk. It is a pain to set up, but I have the extension cable, so I can use the handle of the osmo to pan and tilt the camera.

[@oritemis]

Loved the review, looks like a great product. Was a paid review?

[@Skallagrim]

Rodrigo Marques No. I don't do paid reviews.

[@oritemis]

Awesome, very glad to read that! It must be an really awesome product!

[@pbsoccer2]

***** that was the slowest running I've seen in a while XD

[@Skallagrim]

pbsoccer Ooohh... excuse me for not feeling like sprinting up the hill at Flash-like speed just to please yer majesty, the random internet smartass! XD

[@pbsoccer2]

***** Lol I feel like the "random internet smartass" is a badge of honor these days. Besides, I am here to be pleased.... it's also what I tell my gf on friday evenings :D

[@yugen]

+Skallagrim I think he was refering to how unrealistically people move in video games, but I could be wrong.

[@EvixtheScrub]

In the game Shadow of Mordor, the protagonist carries his sword on his back, but the sheath is only a few inches long and it doesn't cover the whole blade. What are your thoughts about this?

[@VicariousReality7]

Good lord that is trippy

[@youarepwnageable]

Hey skall, whats that jacket? cool video too! nice review

[@Skallagrim]

Jargo It's... uhh... a jacket... in black... with zipper. ;)

[@youarepwnageable]

***** It just looks nice and comfy, I'll try find a simmilar one :p thanks anyway

[@Danterickenbacker]

I have a question regarding efficiency. Would using whips specifically dual whips like in underworld as well as rundown be a viable combat weapon? Personally i think the idea is cool but in practical sense not very useful. Not even with a high level of skill would it be really practical.... would it?

[@Pinecone220]

Can you use a phone with this system?

[@eliaspianomusic]

Now take a transmiter, take some goggles on and try to make some snowboard tricks in Third person^^ hahah xD

[@latengreat]

I gave you a like for the Comfort belly line.

[@DIdirectors]

Hey skall, A little while back I did an experimental short film that involves some sword fighting, with a parallel to addiction. Im curios as to what you think of it as far as the swordfighting is concerned. The way I had my choreographer approach it was a mix of both good looking stuff and also a mix of realistic stuff. Anyways I'd like to hear your thoughts on the film. You can find the link here. (Inner Demons- (Experimental Short Film) CCC Filmaking Club) Btw loved the view from staff experiment video. -Isaiah

[@Crazyaj13]

you shooed do a video on the swallo weapon and other really odd weapons

[@hermannkateri2120]

Now i know what it looks like i can build one.

[@TheMetalViking666]

i'd LOVE to see you strap this on, go to the range and fire some guns like this!

[@ShakoShake]

***** What camcorder were you using when you were in the forest? I love the quality. Great video review by the way

[@evgheniim]

Nice vid. Tanks man :)

[@sadashivadasa]

5:56 OMG is that real-life skyrim?! I gotta get me one now...lol

[@Vinnay94]

Wouldn't it be cool if you could wear special glasses goggles that display what the camera is seeing? It would be like playing a third person game.

[@greenmarcosu]

If you had a portable 3D-capable video camera, one of these rigs and an Oculus Rift you could play reality in 3rd person.

[@Sephvion]

Why do you look so slow running? It has to be something with the camera. x.x Then again, that can't be comfortable when running.

[@thomasjensen9581]

It would be awsome to do an action video with this :-)

[@Aconitum_napellus]

Nice jacket.

[@TheXVenus]

@UlvisBarkāns try an opinel ;)

[@acada6594]

This mount can be used other way. You can put a flag into it instead camera and lead your unit in big sword battle. :D

[@oihdnuoc679]

Are you from germany?

[@MrAllmightyCornholioz]

5:37 LOL looks like minecraft walk

[@JackCarver10]

Bahaha, great video, great humour...

[@lipa90]

cool forest

[@charleswhite2689]

if you adapt it with a Steadicam arm or 2 i could see this able to work

[@runningsandwich]

The camera's pretty neat, but it's really hard to see during action shots..

[@Thaulopi]

I enjoyed it. Just wishing there would be a nice zero (0) between the, now, 7 and 9.

[@Traumglanz]

The focus is kind of odd, looks like you just editing yourself in via a green screen. Is this an issue with the perspective or just how the focus works on your cameras? Quite a nice toy.

[@alejandropadilla1999]

Looks like he's a friggin horse that you're riding on when he walks.

[@bcviking]

Why the lack of gun vids lately ?

[@Skallagrim]

BC Viking Haven't had an opportunity to go to the range.

[@Lueko111]

You used a green screen, dont you? o_O

[@Lueko111]

The background just look so static

[@nudl3Zz]

he is obviously in a forest

[@Ironman1o1]

I can assure you its real. I know where that is.

[@Skallagrim]

James Ryan No.

[@j699freek]

Ironman1o1 Exact location?0.0

[@MMMadman0991]

Hey small.. I would like you to discuss about going berserk in a fight, the pros and con's of the enraged fight style and whether it could work in dire situations.. Also debunk some of the misconceptions and utter horse shit portrayed to berserkers in movies and gaming

[@TroidHunter]

I didn't even know these existed, lol. It's cool, though.

[@NaughtMax]

You should attach it to something you can also view your video in real time. Real life dark souls.

[@Matthewsaaan]

This with an Oculas Rift. Life switches from first person to third person :-P

[@toryunaminosaki1022]

That's it? No 'test it to destruction' mode? ;D

[@JayFloyyd]

Dude looks like Techno Viking

[@abdamit]

5:58 reminds me at running in a dream... you just can´t fucking move fast enough xD

[@Ksavputin]

6:00 looks like a morrowind animation

[@whatthetrip8769]

Hi! Link not afailable

[@EpicTimeV7]

what about sword fighting with this thing ?

[@Skallagrim]

Matejko Like this, you mean? Experimenting with staff techniques (vs. longsword)

[@EpicTimeV7]

exacly, how could I miss it ;f

[@cesarpondarkorbit]

6:16 hahahahahahaahhahahahahahahaahahahahahaha I died

[@MrTacticalinuit]

I love me some sturdy joints

[@Lttlemoi]

How heavy is that thing? It doesn't look very practical or healthy for people who suffer from back pain.

[@dreadnoughtprime6301]

Wearing a back saver brace (for lifting heavy objects) could help. If you don't mind using two things wrapped around your back.

[@Skallagrim]

Lttlemoi It's aluminium, so quite light. It's not very noticeable.

[@dreadnoughtprime6301]

***** Would I be correct in thinking that the strap around your middle would provide slight support?

[@TheSpeakerbag]

***** Hey skall (i know this is slightly off topic but) i remember you saying u were trying to lose weight a few months back, its looks to be working you look slimmer! anyway great job on the videos looking forward to more keep up the good work!

[@VelikiHejter]

Hey, is it clothes or did you lose some weight?

[@Skallagrim]

What did I say at 4:04? :)

[@YeNZeC]

Bahhahahah that looks funny when you were running

[@Genubath1]

Wouldn't it be great to have something that let us see from your view whole you're sparing? I mean, fighting with that thing on your back would be a little too cumbersome.

[@Brikkwall]

TIL: Character's in most third person games have realistic movement o.o

[@gnutscha]

I was really expecting you to chop some wood with it...

[@Obyvvatel]

It costs 1/3 of a payment in Poland.

[@dogishappy0]

Does anyone know of any rock climbers on KZbin that have used this while they are climbing?

[@fettman53]

And as we can see at 4:28, this is NOT practical for duels, as you would be very much open while attempting to fiddle with the camera. XD

[@TheFunnykid33]

5:55 it looks like your arms are moving super fast but you're making barely any progress LOL

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

you should do some sparring video's with this

[@NexTsTovas]

He did.

[@1999Robur]

Yay go Dutch, (I'm from the Netherlands as you may have guessed)

[@ryanrexer]

You can run!!!!! :)
