What second angle camera should I use
Hi there,
in a month I will be shooting a mini doc related to bouldering (rock climbing). I already captured bouldering footage before and I have come to the realization that I need a second angle to capture the full ascent so that I free my main camera (A7IV) to get some more diversity in the footage. Otherwise as soon the climber is close to sending I always have to either leave the camera on a tripod to make sure I capture the full ascent or make sore really safe shot with some small movement. Honestly I don't have the budget for another mirrorless and also the footage I will get from that wide angle camera is going to be used only for showing the complete ascent (kind of proof of it) So it is going to last only 60 sec at the end of a 20 min video so who cares if the quality is a little worse.
I am debating between using ones of the latest Iphones or using an Action Cam.
Iphone
pros: I also upgrade my current smartphone, I can shoot Log and probably match it better to my A7IV slog
Cons: It's a phone so you use it for a million things and it is not dedicated only to being a camera, battery
Osmo action 5 pro/6
pros: I could also use it pared with a macro lens to capture some more artistic shot, for example gopro strapped into a hand while climbing or stuff like that. Also is an action cam so I can probably come up with some cool thing to use for since it is more rugged.
Cons: video quality? Color matching?
Does anyone ha some info in how they both perform? And eventual pros and cons? Does anyone has some experience with gopro or osmo macro lens for capturing close up and interesting broll you could not achieve with a bigger/heavier setup like an A7IV?
