First attempt at a Gopro pitching helmet

[shaunt]

This was my first attempt at a video from a gopro pitching helmet. It's only one inning and no middle shots but let me know what you think. It's my buddy pitching by the way.

I put it on the side with some make in view to help stabilize the video for the viewer.

What you think?

I've wanted to do this forever. Its hard to see anything I think

 

[SparksNVBaller]

Thats cool now you need one from the batters view

 

[batting4th]

I can dig it

 

[shaunt]

I think I need to try it during a day game. Might be able to see a little better

 

[Waggs]

Looks like he is pitching fom 2nd base.

 

[shaunt]

He does pitch from as far behind the back rubber the ump will let him get away with. Usually 6-10 ft back

I feel like it's like trying to look at something with one eye closed. Haha

 

[natedd]

Cool that you can do that and not get blown the **** up like you would in my area.

my head hurts....

It messes with my perception. I know he's far back, but it looks crazy far with his head there in the foreground. It's also a little weird being off to the side.

I want to try this too now, but our league uses screens.

ill have to watch this during lunch. Ive watched hours of footage from my middle shot videos, and it gets bland. Thats why I always edit it down to the "good" stuff.

Cool video, attach the camera to the top or near the forehead though for a better angle.

 

[TurboLumpy]

Sweet lookin glove.

 

[shaunt]

I put it on the side because I felt it was even harder the watch with nothing in the view to stabilize the image. Watching all the motorcycle videos I think are earlier on the eyes with portion of the helmet in the picture.

great job. I think that even with the night game the video came out pretty good. Some of the depth/lighting problems might be solved if you turn on the Spot Meter setting for night games. Could be worth a shot.

I felt like I was playing DOOM. LOL. Very nice.

A lot more stable than my camcorder glasses. I will post a video of bp at E Worlds in a bit, for comparison.

 

[eyerolleddapiec]

I think having it on the side of the helmet is a cool perspective but it limits the field of view way too much.

 

[06redralli]

Change the fov to medium or another setting to give it a little more Zoomed in look.

 

[blakcherry329]

Epileptics do not watch the first video. lol

first video is bp before our game at the Stadium in Disney. We won in 11 innings, 10-9.
Second video is me watching a little bp before our first game. We won 19-7. Just wanted to give you a comparison of views.

I think the glasses might be better suited for a catcher or position player. Or maybe it's just me moving my friggin head too much.:wtf2:

Yeah, I never noticed that I move my head that much when I pitch. I will put up another video when I pitch modified. No helmet for that:thumb:

 

[ScootDog]

Visalia right? I played a few tourneys there a few years back.

 

[CoffeyM369]
