You obviously don't need to hear it from us, but we'll say it anyway- action cameras capture some of the world's most exciting footage, and sharing memories of some of your wilder adventures is one of the great things in life! However, if you're new to the camera world, you may have realized that capturing a POV or close-up action shot isn't so straightforward if you don't have the right gear.
With that in mind, we've got you covered. Here at Insta360 we've got a few suggestions to get footage captured perfectly.
Part 1: What is a head mount?
An action camera head mount is a type of accessory that holds the camera on top of the user's head and lets the user record footage from their point of view without using their hands. Whether you're riding, in a game of paintball, or even just getting an amazing view on a hike, head mounts are great for a "set and forget" approach to filming.
Action camera head mounts are usually adjustable, and depending on the design, you can wear them on top of a helmet or right on the user's head. Some head mounts have extra features like a built-in stabilizer or remote control to make them easier to use. Overall, if you need both of your hands for whatever you're doing, a head mount is your next must-have accessory.
Part 2: Insta360 has a few options. What should I choose?
1. Insta360 helmet mount bundle
The essential helmet set. This is a slightly more professional bundle, aimed at those regularly mountain biking, go-karting, or the like. This bundle has everything you need to reliably get a closer shot of your action, completely handsfree.
2.Insta360 Head Strap
Comfortable, adjustable and easy! The Head Strap is an essential pick if you're looking for occasional POV shots of your action. It even supports up to two cameras, should you need that!
3. Helmet Chin Mount
If you're rocking a helmet and only need a POV style shot, then the Chin Mount is an easy pick for you. Perfect for racing, if you want to capture your movements on the wheel and on the track!
4. Insta360 Unicorn Helmet Mount
If you want a helmet mount that can get you exclusive, drone-like shots, this on is for you. We love the Insta360 Unicorn Helmet Mount so much- users always get unique videos of high-speed action sports like mountain biking and skiing that look far more professional than other standard mounts. Attach your compatible Insta360 action camera to your helmet with the carbon fiber rod that comes with it to get insane new angles. You can change the angle of the rod so that you can also take 360° videos, too.
Just a note, though... avoid the Unicorn Helmet Mount for skydiving, bungee jumping, or other high-speed aerial activities where the rod could get caught in a cord or parachute. Safety first, people!
Part 3: Get out there and shoot!
What are you waiting for? We want to see your next POV shot, paintball action, or even skydive! However, there is an important thing to note when choosing before you set out: Before even buying, think carefully about what you'll use the mount for. Use cases aren't all the same, so consider realistically what you're likely to do the most with your new accessory before jumping in.
No matter what kind of adventurer you are, there is an action camera head mount that will help you record all the fun you plan to have. Now get out there and hit record!
