1Use a chest/body rig and a wide lens (24mm) close to the face.

When to use

Social / vertical
A runner's POV-of-effort shot for a sports brand.

Your kit

Best option
A body rig (or a selfie-stick held tight to the chest) with the handle.

In film

Mistakes

Rig shake visible: tighten every joint.

Drill
