Stabilizing the Camera

Chances are that you purchased your GoPro camera to shoot video of yourself and others engaged in some type of action-oriented activity. As discussed in the next chapter, the key to shooting smooth and in-focus video is to keep the camera as steady as possible, avoiding unnecessary shaking or sudden movements.

The easiest way to do this is to place the camera in the Frame housing and then attach the most appropriate mount, based on the shooting situation. Make sure the mount is securely attached to your body or equipment so it can’t move around. To achieve really smooth video, consider attaching the camera to an optional stabilizer. This helps you achieve more professional results.
