Getting The Best Motion Picture Camera Mount

By Janine Hughes


Getting the best shot means getting the right angle. But sometimes, even finding the right angle is not enough when you are constantly bombarded by movements. Making your shot steady amidst the movements is important in capturing awesome actions scenes. But without the right accessories to support you on this, you will not get the best result that you hope for.

Achieving stillness while moving is one reason why camera accessories are created. Motion picture camera mount for instance is produced for the main purpose of addressing the demand of the film industry for a better camera handling experience. Using these mounts, the operator need not to worry so much about all those movements. Here is how you can get the right one for you.

Be specific on the type of action. As a protocol, identify that type of action first that you want to cover. Mounts, like any other materials have different types. Some can be attached on the head while others can be attached to carry the cam on your body. There are those that can be extended to cover wider areas. Be specific on your expectations.

Verify the compatibility. You might not have been aware of this but not all cameras can work with a mount. There are units that do not have any mount screw where the accessory should be attached. Before buying, make sure that yours have the screw.

Get a list of the features that you need. The more high end the features that you need, the higher is the price. The general rule here to save money is to buy what you need. There is no need to go for the the one that is features packed when you are not going to use them anyway. Better go for the standard one that will allow you to utilize its functions.

Size of the mount. Bigger cameras naturally need bigger mounts. Get the size of your gadget and browse over the selection in any shop or through online website. You should be able to find a perfect match when you look carefully. If not sure, you can always consult the retailer or call the support team if you are buying online. You can give them the unit of your camera and they will give you suggestions on the appropriate mounting.

Buy from the same brand. This is not an absolute necessity, but it is a safer bet if you purchase the accessory from the same manufacturer. They know best about the specifications of camera units that they have created, so it is safe to say that they have created mounts that are perfect fit to the units as well.

Compare prices. It is not a surprise if one or two accessory units will fit your equipment. Your job is to choose which among them is more preferable. Other than the comfort, start by comparing the prices of different retailers. Their price range can be affected by other factors like the shipping fee. Know which one provides the best deal.

Prices can sometimes be tricky. That is why you need to consider the other factors mentioned on this list. If you are not sure which among your options should you get, try asking several of your friends who own a cam and ask for suggestions as to the good retailers for accessories.
