How do you video in the parks with no selfie sticks allowed?

**Bouncing Tigger** · 1 Jan 19, 07:58 PM

Is any stick allowed? Just wondering how to take vids when on rides without dropping the camera.
I've got a Lumix and trying to decide whether it's worth using the video feature.

Do you need to video the rides? There are loads of videos on YouTube. Can you just enjoy the ride?

If you really need to video ice see chest harnesses. But whatever you use make sure it�s 100% secure as a flying camera is really dangerous.

No I don't need to but I thought it'd be nice to have some vids of my own to look back on where we're having a whale of a time and was just wondering how people manage it.

Although selfie sticks are not allowed image stabilizers and grips are. So for example if you Google GoPro float grip you should get some idea of what I am talking about.the difference between a selfie stick and a grip is the grip is non extending

With a compact camera I just wrap the wrist strap around my wrist

I also use a manfrotto pixi as a handle/mini tripod. Just make sure it's the none extending variant

I've got the GoPro mini tripod that doubles as a grip, and a chesty mount.
The new Hero 7 Black with its stabilisation is great for rides.

I used this one on our last trip, very handy to have.

A cheap go pro version is best .plenty of decent ones around . It takes up a lot of memory card so good to have videos separate
