Hi all) can u give advice? Need a camera in the mountains, what to take? Sony or Gopro https://www.bestadvisor.com/action-cameras that better withstands chill and snow
Do u have own expierence
Which camera to use in the mountains?
Introduce yourself :wave:
Have a look at the mirrorless Sony cameras. There’s a few generations out now so the earlier models are quite reasonable.
I just heard about the problem, the fact that the battery in the cold quickly discharges
Depends how long you’re planning on being there.
No retail DSLR battery is going to withstand extreme temperatures.
A GoPro should be fine. I mean, there’s plenty of snowboarding and skiing videos out there taken with one
All batteries loose their charge quicker in the cold - they’re the weak point rather than the camera. So you need spare batteries, and you need a way of keeping them (and the camera, I should add) insulated until you’re ready to use them.
Well, it’s like a whole day, but I’m going to shoot a couple of hours, I’m talking about the fact that the camera could be safely turned on when necessary
If it’s for photography, guy I know uses a Canon 5d mk iii
Edit: but then he loves hiking and he loves photography…
I used to have a mk 3 - it’s a brilliant camera. When it first came out it was great. I ran magic lantern on it and filmed weddings in the UK and abroad and it never let me down!
