ActionHat Review: The Hat Camera Mount I Use to Film Every Trip
I've filmed with the ActionHat hat mount for two years, and I show why it simplified how I film my adventures with a GoPro or phone.
What’s in this video
For the past 2 years I’ve filmed with this simple hat mount, and it changed how I film and tell stories on YouTube. I use it every day I go out. It frees up your hands and gives a POV view like nothing else, whether you run a GoPro or film with your phone.
I go over the key benefits and features, compare it to other mount types, show some night filming setups and walk through installing the DIY kit. My friends run them too. Rex, the owner, is one of the coolest kayak anglers I’ve met.
