Here are some examples of content created with Osmo Action, the which is mounted on different types of vehicles and tuned at different angles:
2. Plan your itinerary
The best shooting conditions with this type of Timelapse are straight routes with multiple lights along the way. It is also best to avoid roads with excessive traffic lights or heavy traffic, as long stops during recording will reduce the dynamic effect.
3. Select Timelapse
You can easily switch to Timelapse shooting mode via the back screen of Osmo Action.
Next is the definition of the recording interval and duration.
4. Adjust the shutter speed
To create a beautiful blurred effect, we recommend slowing the shutter speed down to 2-3 seconds.
If the image is too bright due to a slow shutter speed, ND filters may need to be used to improve the brightness balance.
5. Start recording
After you finish the preparation, press the download button to start recording. After registration is complete, Osmo Action completes processing automatically.
