HannuB 0 #1 July 17, 2015 Hi, Does anyone have experience of Sony Action Cam mounts? Sony recommends the following mounts for skydiving VCT-AM1 Adhesive Mount For Action Cam AKA-WM1 Wrist Strap AKA-CMH1 Chest Mount Harness VCT-HSM1 Helmet Side Mount I bought the HDR-AS100V but have not tested any of the previous mounts yet. Actually they don't look very reliable. Perhaps it would be better to acquire an adapter for GoPro mounts? Does anyone have experience of such adapters?

DSE 5 #2 July 17, 2015 Wait, what?? You're comfortable with a GoPro mount and not a Sony mount? Sony's mount covers nearly double the surface area of the competitor. It is of a softer material that not only dampes vibration, but also doesn't shatter on impact. Side mounting the AS100v upside down in the Helmet side mount (because you want it on your left side), is a solid option. The AM1 is very solid as well, for a top mount. Put a GoPro adapter on it, and your video will greatly suffer. The whole fulcrum point is why GP is inherently unstable, and why most pro's use cages vs lick n' sticks.

Finley1128 0 #4 August 10, 2015 Along the same lines, do you have any experience with the Sony mirrorless still cameras such as the a5000 or the a5100? Looking at switching over from my older heavier cannon rebel xs. Thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
