As most action cameras can becontrolled remotely, it’s then a good idea to leave them in or under the line of fire, and trigger them from your smartphone as the action happens. We could never have shot beneath this motocross rider, yet we could position a tiny GoPro Hero 10 underneath it for a dynamic freeze-frame result.
