Sony Action Cam

[AlfieVlogs]

So, 3 weeks ago I purchased a Sony Action Cam with a monopod and a mount for my skateboard, I drilled the mount onto my skateboard so it sits well with my Action Cam for filming, But i've got a little problem when I do film while skating the cam shakes and it comes out in the footage, How can i make it less shake ?

I don't know to much about this as I don't skateboard. It's logical that the camera would shake because of the constant movement by the board. The only things I can think of is trying a helmet cam, setting up a camera on a tripod around your location, or finding a better stabilizing monopod. But it beats me, good luck!

Some software editing programs can stabilize the video.

Ah yes, You're right. I remember watching a tutorial for Power Director 11 and that program can stabilize your shots. I'm sure most commercial software would have this feature. Good tip Ender!

Although some editors can stabilise video, its usually at the expense of some video quality.
Even then, you're not going to get shaky skateboard footage into smooth footage just by using stabilisation in an editor.

Try putting something in between the board and the camera - rubber dampers etc. You really need to try to stabilise the raw footage as much as possible before using an editor for some extra stabilisation.
