Sometimes the simplest way is the best way. You should check out the GoPro Ground Spike if you want to take shots from just one particular perspective, for instance, shots of ski jumpers coming down the run at high speed, leaning forward as they jump and soar through the sky as if in slow motion until landing. Since we’re talking about ski jumping, here’s another interesting angle: Jumps seem much higher if shot from below. Just mount the camera onto the ground spike, and stick the spike into the snow.
