What are the best practices for cameras for outdoor sports?


Choosing the Correct Camera



  • High Frame Rates: 60fps+ for smooth, blur-free action.

  • High Dynamic Range (HDR): Balances bright sunlight and shadows.

  • 4K Resolution: Ensures crisp footage, ideal for post-production editing.

  • Low-Light Performance: Maintains quality in evening or overcast conditions.

  • Stabilization: Reduces shake for steady shots during fast pans or movement.


Securing Your Equipment



  • Weatherproof Containers: Store sensitive equipment when not in use.

  • Elevated Platforms: Keep gear off the ground to avoid water damage.

  • Consider Outdoor Cameras: Designed to heat/cool the camera, and usually water resistant


Combatting Glare: Shades and Umbrellas



  • Monitor Hoods: Block out sunlight for clear screen visibility.

  • Protective Umbrellas: Shield cameras and operators from direct sunlight.
