Filming lines while on a scooter

Ok, so today i was filming a pretty basic line on a scooter. Since i got everyone i ride with to start scootering, no one brings around a skateboard. Filming the line was pretty difficult to because the line was on the left side of my body and i hold the camera with my right hand(I ride goofy by the way). So we had to refilm the line a couple of times because of sketchy filming(shaking, falling, things getting in the way, etc.). Im pretty new with filming lines but would like to start getting into filmiong more of them. Does anyone have any tips on how film good lines on a scooter?

Use a ripstick. Those things are like mobility heaven. They are great for filming cause they can always adjust if something comes up.

-Always position your camera low and tilt it up, NEVER postion your camera high and tilt it down

-You need a fisheye and handle

-You will have to film on your "bad side" all the time, so just practice with it

-Try to stay steady as possible and use OIS (Optical image stabilization)

-Try always have the entire rider in view

-Stay close to rider

-Using a scooter is fine

I tend to hold the camera in front of the scooter if I have to film my opposite side, that way you can switch from left to right side without getting your bars in the shot. Skateboards are definitely better for easy lines where you're pretty much going straight or not turning too much. I'd take a scooter over a board if I was filming a line where I had to go over stuff though.

Your posts make me want to punch babies.

TURN OIS OFF IF YOU HAVE A FISHEYE ON. IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT CAUSE PROBLEMS.

Go and tell filmers on SP to use OIS with a fisheye. They will gouge your eyes out.

its confusing to explain but you know how in some videos the vignetting [black edges of lens on the screen] starts kind of moving around...? well thats the result of OIS and using a fisheye at the same time

Yeah. The vignetting is sitting still. The image is moving. OIS stabilizes the picture by moving it around a lilbit and the vignetting is already still so it starts shifting all over the place. View Almost Round 3 or an Aussie video for example haha.

Practice, hold steady, keep the rider in the shot and place ur hand closer to the center of your bars for more control over the scooter
