camera setup

I know i saw this before but i will ask. What is the differance to mount the camera inverted with the lense closer to your chin than upright. i saw a guy in team Aria who had this setup. Any advantages??

THANKS BRO'S!

Advantage is that if you are HD the image is already flipped, and on the new sony IP series camera the record button it on the right side so that puts it where you can reach it better.

Thanks , I have a new canon Elura 40mc and putting the camera on the right side of my helmet would be nice. It also seams that mounting it in this way would give you a clearer vision than seeing a lens in that blind spot. This would effect the image as filming head down you would view the image as rightside up. could this be filpped iin adobe premier?

Thanks Bros!!

If you were mounting an IP, I would think you'd put it on the side that makes the button reachable regardless of which way you were mounting it. Claiming this as an advantage to the IP is truly reaching. Fact is, it's a disadvantage to the IP that you DONT have the option to flip the camera without either making the button more unreachable or having mounts on both sides of the camera.


if you are doing all of your filming from a head down position, then you might consider flipping the camera, especially if you were filming tandems from your back where an inverted image would be entirely unacceptable for delivery to the customer.

For some (like judges of freefly competitions) having the ground always be below, and the sky always above can help them to orient whats going on. But once you are doing a mix of head down and head up flying while filming, there's no real advantage to having an inverted camera.
