Insta 360 / Self Filming

[rawbertson.]

I spend a lot of time filming myself skating and wondering what setups do you guys use?
I just use a tripod and iPhone currently, but since I spend so much time doing this stuff I might invest in Insta 360 or some other sort of "self following" tripod setup. Any of you guys use this? How do you feel about it? Would it be nauseating watching an entire edit of that? I think theres a few spots it could be cool for but I am not sure I'd want to film with it every time. Last thought - I really appreciate when people set up 2 angles, i should take the time to do this more often.

I told everyone from my crew that I wouldn't use any selfie vids for our video but one guy used an insta 360 and it was fine. I'm thinking about getting one for my friend who gets really stressed when the camera is on him.

There’s a few bunch of clips/second angles in my most recent part/video that I filmed when I had time and nobody else did, with iPhones and DSLRs.

The 180 up FS halfcab FS board line, the Ollie over the hydrant at my Steve Berra spot, the front board at the same spot, the nosemanual bs 180 b-roll clip at the same spot, the long lens angle of the no comply hill bomb, the first angle of the fs wallride nollie to tail stall, long lens angle of my ender, switch 180 manual into the bank, roll up for the switch back 180 into the crusty bank and most of the b-roll that isn’t obviously film.

Don’t do it. Skate / snow industry needs less influencer bullshit, and this is feeding into it. Unless you’re doing something that absolutely requires it, don’t do it. Majority of the time the footage looks whack anyways. You’re better off with a proper cam and tripod.
