Capturing an image from a different, unique and original perspective is the objective of accessories such as selfies or action cameras, but sometimes this comes at a price, especially when we are more aware of the image than what lies ahead or something went wrong in our adventure and the action camera ends up being a faithful notary of our epic fail .
With the sticks selfies happens that the trees prevent us from seeing the forest, or in other words, we are so aware of the screen of our mobile tied to the selfie stick that many times the perspective of what happens to our around and the space through which we move.We are going to see some of the problems that these devices can give us that allow us to capture somewhat embarrassing moments.
Sticks selfies fail or how not to see the danger
Starting with the classic « you don't see the danger» , with this girl who descends with a rope in a vertical rappel, where perhaps her hands would be better to maintain her stability.A clear example of dysfunctionality, since here it would have been much better to use the action camera.
Although it is clear that many are authentic adventurers and do not care to be in a desert that swimming between sharks, the selfie stick has to fulfill its function and has already become almost an extension of its arm.Its maximum is: «if I go, my stick too».
And it is that many times it is a matter of perspective. We come up looking to create a video or a photo of the most original and we just uploaded where we should not record it.Come on, we end up on the floor and with a bit of bad luck with something broken.
And it is that the selfie stick gives us the opportunity to joke about some situations that it captures, which sometimes does not even star in its wearer, but other protagonists of the video or photo.In this case it would have been more logical than The girl who falls off the bike would have been the one holding the handlebar with one hand while with the other she carries the selfie stick, but no, it was her friend who, while greeting the camera, lost control.
In this case it is the protagonist herself who suffers the consequences, an inopportune slip, while recording with her camera.You have to know where you step to not be seen later by the portrayed floors.

Here is another clear example of what it means not to see the danger with this photo taken with a selfie stick while its protagonist was driving...How is that DGT bell? «The most expensive photo in the world?».
And you have to walk with a lot of eye , as happens to the protagonist of the next video, which is Of course, the selfie sticks do not let us see what surrounds us.Fall and mobile to the ground, although it seems that without further damage.
Action cameras guided by the devil
The truth is that with the action cameras the concept changes a bit .They are designed to leave our hands free, and to record moving scenes, often of risky sports, in which their resistance is basic, so it is very normal to see falls, so much so that even their protagonists advise us where to place the camera so that it does not suffer damage in the falls.
Something on the other hand quite common, although sometimes the action camera only witnesses the accident of another, that if we are lucky.In the case of motor sports, the images that can be achieved can be spectacular , but you better not star in them.
If it's about using the camera to follow another protagonist, we may be only witnesses of his pain if something does not go as planned.We must bear in mind that does not always take the good one comes out at first , so it's time to get up after the Slip or ask for help to have someone rescue us (as is the case).
The truth is that the images that are achieved with action cameras are almost always spectacular.It is part of its own essence to try to capture those moments of risk that we often suffer while doing a sporting or playful activity, which does not always end quite good.
And you, have you captured any such movie during your vacation?
