Camera Help

[njskierbrig]

i have been thinking about using my camera out on the mountain. What should i do to help protect it from snow, cold, or anything else that can happen out on the mountain.

I carry my point and shoot in a goggles bag. It's provides a little additional protection against wetness and I can clean the lens with the bag. I just put it in my chest pocket on my jacket. No problems yet except for poor battery life in the cold.

I just keep my point in one of the pockets up near my chest so i can get it out easily. I used to take my SLR out, but at that point it was in a Pelican air tight/shockproof case in a backpack.

and besides camera what do you guys use for your video cameras?

Camelback ski area. Clearly you need a local to show you the back bowls and hidden glades

Just get a nice photo/video bag for your gear.

I just keep mine in my fanny pack and a spare battery in an inside pocket. The camera has a protective case, so putting it in my pocket would be a bit too bulky. It's a Canon Elph.

That picture is AWESOME! I never saw the one of Sam either, also a cool pic.

 

Winter is here, ready to get heady? There was enough snow the other night to bomb drop off the balcony -

When i shoot with my digital slr i will either walk up the mtn or take the lift and walk down. This way its safer so i dont drop it or get it wet or even break it. You should also get a uv lense filter that will protect your lense and help out when taking pics in the snow. But if you want to ride down with your camera make sure you have it in a camera bag and its not over your shoulder or near your stomach cause you dont want to go around body slamming it.

Sick!!! Can't wait to get back. Living scenario seems like it may be changing. Whatever though, as long as I'm riding everyday I don't really care that much about the details.

back to the thread- i don't carry my camera with me often cause i don't want to fall on it and hurt myself. when i do though i usually put it in a goggle bag in a cargo pocket.

Picking the right pocket helps. I have an inside pocket of my jacket that I rarely fall on so it works a lot better than keeping it in my pants.
