I think that's hella sick but if you could make the cam face in front of you from that angle it would be even better.
But +k for thinking of that and getting creative.

same, I would angle your mount pole to trail you so the viewer has a better idea of what you're skiing towards

well very rad idea.. but i gotta say that looked so strange.. almost like when you play a video game and accidentally click a button that puts you on an angle where you think.. what the fuck! why would I want this angle.. I have no idea what is going on. but props for the creativity.

i feel like this angle would be really cool for park if it was pointed the other way and you could see more of the whole ski

i think it would be cool if the pole were angled back behind you and the cam was looking more down hill. but that is sick never the less.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. As i said, this was my first test. I did actually flip the video over due to how confusing and disorienting it looked when it was flipped the other way. All your ideas are great, and i plan to test most of them before i am done with this mount. The three main problems i am having are as follows, maybe you can help with some ideas, thanks. First off my head is pressed up against the pole whenever i am looking straight or anything above that, making it so i couldn't really do many tricks or much "free" skiing. Secondly, The pole is mounted to a flat piece of plywood within the back pack and the pack is strapped at the waist and chest for extra stability, this causes your back to be rigid, once again eliminating many possibilities for tricks, jumps, cliffs, ect. Finally, i would love to figure out how to wear it on a chair lift, if anyone has an idea let me know. The pole sticks 2ft above my head, i am 6ft. Thanks again, and i hope you can help!
Oh and Mods, i would love if you would keep this in ski gabber so that it gets more views and replies quicker, plus, it has to do with my stoked ness on my first day of the year!

I was experimenting the same angle a while back. In the end it didn't work out the way i was hoping.

Best run of the season was down what looked like a groomer at keystone with an inch of snow on top?

That was the first day of this year? Looked like a ton of snow. This might be even more awkward in shape, but try something like this?

[]\    camera on angled pole to get back over your head
  _|   your head might fit in the space created by the L
  |     short pole ending before your helmet/upper neck
() backpack

Creative though. What happens if you fall? Or you could try supporting something from the helmet. A go pro or something similar is at the top right?

I think people wanna see more in front of you, but the more you do that the more it will turn into a normal helmet cam, just with a but of height. I think this would work well for rails, and it would make grabs look sick if you could get some more mobility from it.
