In this video I had my Fusion on the extendable pole it comes with, but I strapped that to the end of my ski pole, so I could still hold my poles and ski as normal. There’s no gimbal contraption to hold or cables or batteries outside of the camera, it’s just the camera mounted to anything! The last thing is the notion that it erases whatever it’s mounted to, so the camera looks like it’s floating.
