Re: Shooting while skiing

I'm a minimalist when it comes to carrying stuff for skiing and downhill mountain biking. Basically take what I need and that it. So what in my mountain bike bag I use for skiing?

  • Mobile phone in a Oakley protective sport case.
  • Sun glasses in a Oakley protective Sport case. I wear sunglasses when eating.
  • My wallet
  • A bottle of water
  • Water proof cover 

That's it.

I take my camera out when I'm not skiing. Sorry I couldn't help but I wouldn't want to ski with a bigger bag and landing on it. Landing on Oakley protective case is bad enough but landing on my GH5 and the 12-60 or 35-100 will be terrible. Not only for my back but it could potentially break the lens off the camera as well.

If you're going to bring a camera then make it compact and wouldn't impede your skiing. Otherwise probably look at getting a Mace because I found swinging a 10kg Mace in one direction at speed will create enough force to throw me on the ground. Training with a mace may help keep your balance for upper body when skiing but I shouldn't be recommending a Mace on a camera forum.
