But this is just one of many reasons why he takes up windsurfing Action cam uses. As a young, technology-savvy and travel-loving athlete, he had the opportunity to attend the launch of the new Rollei action one, the action camera in the practice testing.
The first impressions of the new top action camera
Nick Spangenberg wanted to know and even went to Morocco for the test in order to catch perfect winds and waves. He tested them Rollei action one on their robustness and in the use of different perspectives, from which film and photo recordings should then be created.

The camera came with everything you need to get straight into the fun. Around the Possible uses In order to be able to fully utilize the Rollei action one, the professional windsurfer also decided on this Actioncam accessory set Sport XL from Rollei.

Morocco is a paradise for windsurfersr
Year after year, and for decades, the windsurfing community sets out to ride the waves of Morocco's Atlantic coast. As an experienced professional athlete who has already experienced numerous spots, Nick Spangenberg identified Morocco as the perfect location for the test. No matter whether in the wave, slalom or freestyle disciplines: Morocco offers everything a surfer's heart desires and makes it possible in conjunction with the new action camera spectacular shots.
Already at the beginning of the recordings she was able to Rollei action one convince the athlete with additional features. Among other things, it was convincing Battery life.

Attachment to the sail: bird's eye view and fork perspective
For the first two perspectives, the athlete brought the Rollei action one using the accessories on the sail. Starting with the Bird's eye view, in which the action camera was mounted high on the sail, allowing a view of the surfer himself and the water. Thanks to the large recording angle of 170 degrees, the images look particularly impressive as the athlete competed in a race with other sea creatures.
For the Fork perspective Spangenberg mounted the camera in the fork of the sail. The position was close to the athlete and captured every emotion. In addition, with the recordings from this perspective, he was able to check his technique well and improve it if necessary.
In the middle of the action: The chest or head perspective

The in m Accessory set The included straps made it particularly easy for the athlete Rollei action one to be fastened exactly in such a way that they are safe and secure while driving precise the recordings could create.
He also emphasizes that this perspective would be an exciting perspective not only for windsurfers, but also in the areas of mountain biking, skating and much more.

Spangenberg's favorite: the viewer's perspective
For dreamy ones Photo and video recordings, says Spangenberg, is recommended Viewer perspective. Here you look at the athlete from the outside. A disadvantage that arises from the windsurfer's point of view: a second person is required who can get as close as possible to the athlete and take the appropriate photos. For a better recording situation, the athlete recommends using one Selfie stick or something similar. Here the photographer or filmmaker has more leeway and can better reach the athlete being filmed.“.
Of course, there are many other perspectives, but from Nick Spangenberg's perspective these four perspectives are the best of all different angles and perspectives to be able to record. There are no limits to creativity, says Spangenberg.
