Hey guys,
I have a Canon HF R500 .. Not a bad Mid Grade Cam,.. and I use it mostly in my car.. on a Gecko Dual suction cup mount. (Love that mount).
However, I get WAY too much camera shake.. I've tried everything with settings, moving mount all over the car.. and nothing helps.
So.. I'm reaching out for ideas. Is there a mount that will reduce drastically camera shake?
The camera has good Digital image stabilization (as good as it gets "digitally) anyway.. and several options of it.. powered, dynamic, intelligent, and so on. I did a lot of research on Cam corders and went through a few before settling on this Canon HF R500.. (This is *not* my primary dash cam.. I am going Mobius for that).. but I use this a lot for in car filming.. of devices in the car.. to just filming through windshield .. and so on. The shake really disappointing me and I'm at my wits end of where to go next. I don't want to buy $50 mounts just willy nilly.. as I don't have tons of money to blow trial and error. I thought the Gecko mount would do well.. and it's def. a solid mount.. and I like having it, but it's not forgiving on image stabilization.
I drive a Nissan 2008 350Z.. so it is a sports car, but I've seen plenty of setups that have minimal shake, so it's possible.. I just need some help with the right mount, or other ideas.
Any and all advice is appreciated, and I've done tons of research on this but need some direction, hopefully from personal experience to help me get something that will help.
Thank you for reading,
