Incredible Surf Launching Perspectives by Insta360 by Matt Wainright on Niteshift at the Umzimkulu: It’s like having 360 cameras mounted on your head! And then after shooting, during editing, you can choose the angle, and even zoom, of your chosen shot!

Not a moment…is ever lost.

Enjoy…!

Fishing Videos

The application of this cutting-edge camera technology is not wasted on fishing videos. They are actually perfect for it. Check back to the previous story of Matt’s visit to the Umzimkulu Estuary here with us a few weeks back. Here Matt got to demonstrate how easy and effective the little pieces of kit are. By catching a kob, a frunter, a perch, and a goliath tussle with the Nkulunkulu himself – the rock salmon. Snippets of that epic battle feature in this video too.

Launching Videos

It is challenging, to say the least, to capture a launch whilst actually on the boat. The Gs are there to bounce you around the place. No amount of steady-shot keeps you steady. Waves are crashing in the boat (like in the launch part of this very video).

The Insta360 is waterproof in these situations. A direct hit does nothing to deter. I believe some guys even go surfing with one of these strapped to their kops!

Minimum Requirements

Are steep. The camera requires a hot post-production team. Well-equipped in memory and storage. A decent phone sporting 16 GB of memory is a good start. Then to edit in the studio, another 16 GB of memory is the minimum. Installed in a performance laptop or computer. Backed up with a solid-state hard drive that can take a terabyte or two.

Performance being the operative word here.

Here in #Port #Shepstone (https://umzimkuluadrenalin.co.za) we are having a lot of fun! Tis the end of the dry season. The water is still crystal palace though. With this weeks rains…we should be ok. Another month or so of the marvelous game fishing we have been having here recently in this very river. Click here to see Matts epic weekend.

Matt Wainwright epic Weekend at the Umzimkulu with his Insta360 Camera

And this last weekend…we saw the very good ship Happy Daze wrack up yet another Zambezi shark pup in the Umzimkulu. This time it came into the spread and got hooked by the tail. Another momentous battle ensued as Greg Milward, the angler, took quite some time and effort, to subdue his quarry.

Released after a good lecture about swimming around in spreads like that.

Happy Daze on the Umzimkulu with a powered up little Zambezi shark taken on a lure right out the front of the Umzimkulu Marina. Full story and video to follow right here on The Sardine News.
