How I take pictures on a SUP Tour? – Tips to copy

September 25, 2019 /

Capturing the best moments on a SUP tour for later to remember and share can be as rewarding as the tour itself. I love to share my adventures on Instagram and receive instant feedback from the SUP community. Often people ask me what I used on the water to capture my trips in the form of Photos and Videos. Read below about my favorite items which I take on most of my tours.

Please note I rarely take all at once, as I plan beforehand what I like to do on a tour and what my focus will be. Nevertheless, I will always take my Mobile as this is also one of my recommended safety tools.

All my favorite tools I like to take on a SUP tour

Actioncam

I personally use a GoPro Hero 6 and have to admit that I haven’t tried anything else than GoPro. Hence my recommendation is based on what I know and like to work with.

The GoPro is a very powerful Actioncam with a nice stabilizer that is perfect for SUP activities. The picture will be sharp and the colors bright and eye-catching when shooting in daylight.

Best time for a GoPro shoot is sundown as the lights on the pictures will be warm and soft.

This also applies to underwater footage. You will have the most fun with your GoPro in bright conditions. Actioncams are usually not made for night shoots or bad lighting conditions.

Pros

  • Great stabilizer
  • shoots Underwater
  • small and fits in most pockets
  • lots of additional gadgets

Cons

  • Not for detailed pics
  • bad performance in spare light

Supporting Equipment for the Actioncam

My go-to gadgets for the GoPro
  • 3-way mount
  • Clamp for the paddle or other things that come in handy
  • extra Battery set and an external charger
  • SUP Board mount

Mobile Phone

I own a Huawei P20 Pro and I love it. It shoots incredibly good pictures for a mobile phone. Additionally, the manufacturer claims – so I never put it into testing – that it is up to 3 meters waterproof. This is why I don’t use a case for my mobile while on the water.

I have 2 different tripods for my Mobile which I take with me when I am shooting pictures for my Instagram feed. As I am not one of those lucky chicks who have their own Insta- Boyfriend to make gorgeous pictures of them, a fair amount of my pics are selfies. This is why I use a tripod and my secret weapon a Bluetooth remote.

One of my tripods is a regular traveling tripod for Mobile phones and smaller cameras. This is my preferred one as it is stable and I can even put it in the water to shot. Additionally, I have a tiny tripod with flexible legs that can be wrapped around almost anything.

  • Waterproof Mobile or an equivalent case
  • mini Tripod
  • Bluetooth remote

Check out my Amazon associate store for the items I mentioned below.

Any questions or additional tips? Please leave a comment below.

Enjoy yourself on the water and stay safe.

    https://instantjobinterviewtools.com Car increment allows the user to create a serial
    number to be produced whenever a new document
    is inserted in the table. CAR INCREMENT is the key words for Oracle, AUTO_INCREMENT in MySQL as well as IDENTITY keyword can be utilized in SQL SERVER for auto-incrementing.

    Mainly this key words is made use of to produce the primary
    key for the table. Normalization prepares the existing tables and also its fields within the data source, resulting in minimum
    replication. It is utilized to streamline a table as much as possible while maintaining the distinct fields.

    If you have truly little to claim for yourself, the
    interviewer power think you have void to claim. pl sql meeting inquiries
    I make myself really feel divine ahead the meeting
    starts. With this inquiry, the employer will evaluate you on exactly how
    you prioritise your job listing. I look forward to operations with damien once more
    in the future strained. You mightiness need a compounding of dissimilar
    types of concerns in order to fully cover the problem, as well as this might
    deviate betwixt participants. Prospects turn up to meetings with a coating
    of exciting you.

    A main secret is a unique type of special
    trick. A international trick is made use of to preserve the referential link integrity between 2 information tables.
    It avoids activities that can damage web links between a
    youngster as well as a moms and dad table. A main trick is utilized to
    specify a column that uniquely recognizes each row. Null value
    and also duplicate worths are not allowed to be entered in the primary vital column. Nonetheless, you might not be offered this
    hint, so it gets on you to keep in mind that in such a scenario a subquery is exactly what you require.

    After you undergo the basic SQL interview inquiries, you are likely to be asked something a lot more certain.
