There is or was an article written by another member with different leg lengths who had something similar done, FairToMiddling.Any other people here with this issue?
Yes, everything got corrected. 'My guy' said the same thing about usually not correcting everything. But I have been correcting my posture and leg lenght difference for a couple of years now (e.g. going to a physiotherapist every week) and have almost undone all the adaption my body has done in the past. Even a couple of mm of difference causes me a lot of physical issues.There is or was an article written by another member with different leg lengths who had something similar done, FairToMiddling.
I seem to remember a comment that the usual practice is to correct half the difference, because your body has adapted (or tried to) and having it suddenly go away would cause problems. Did your guy correct all of it?
This.Different angle: How much time have you invested in training buddies how to film? How did you get them on board? What technology are you (they) using? Are they using your camera or yours?
Leaving aside my numerous skiing shortcomings, I find these challenges make the question about posting video moot. No one wants to invest time in this activity. When they do, there ALWAYS seem to be major technical hurdles. If using their own gear, the battery is always at 6% when they pull it out and everything dies before it's done. If we get past THAT, they are not up to figuring out how to share the footage. (My ski friends are generally not members of the digital generation.)
If they use my gear, they don't know how to use it. For starters, if it's my phone, it always locks up before they can click the "record" button.
Anyway, I have really struggled with these obstacles over the years. Others?
My post quoting such an old one was simply to reinforce the fact that there is not much footage of me skiing due to claimed "circumstances", rather than inability, of others to "tape" me.The @Tony S post you quote is way back on thread page 1 as was my respons
Been using the chest mount since the beginning. The helmet/head mounted footage makes me seasick when watching it, because no matter what, we skiers keep, even unconsciously but continously, swiveling our heads L/R and U/D to check for "dangers" or pathes.My epiphany with a PoV camera is that the footage is much more engaging when it is taken using a chest mount position. The huge FoV of my GO 2 camera when used with the chest mount provides much more visibility of my skis, poles, and arms. My friends and family that have seen the footage have commented that it's like a VR experience; they really feel like they're there skiing the run.
My old helmet mount footage isn't nearly as exciting because it doesn't replicate the "being there" feel.
Chest cam has more risk for bodily harm.
Definitely not the case with the Insta360 GO 2 using the magnetic pendant mount.
If there's any hard object on your chest, it can break ribs or puncture the sternum if you happen to face plant. The only way to avoid it is to spread out the force on a big plate, but then you risk getting stabbed by the edges of the plate. It's not terribly common to land on your chest, but it happens. I suppose there's risk with a helmet mount if it catches on something and hangs ya, but I see that as lower risk. If you search around forums you can read stories of injuries from chest cams.
You should take a look at how the magnetic pendant mount works. No way is this a risk. The pendant has a fairly wide diameter and the camera will pop right off of the pendant if there's a force applied to it. Your ski poles pose more danger.
We all ski with 4 long knives and 2 short swords, and other assorted weapons. How much damage will falling on the fist sized rock cause, especially if it breaks when you do?
More ski videos please.
But as you noted, let's get back to ski videos and I will acquiesce to Sanity's vastly superior knowledge of all things including skiing...
