Action Cameras and Mounts

Action cameras are compact video devices designed to withstand movement, impacts, and outdoor conditions. In paintball, they are commonly mounted on masks, hoppers, barrels, or chest harnesses to capture first-person footage and field-level perspectives. Players use this footage for content creation, match review, and documenting events.

Mounting hardware includes adhesive bases, straps, clamps, and specialized brackets. Mounts must be secure enough to handle slides, dives, and impacts without shifting or detaching. Players should ensure that mounting does not interfere with mask safety, obstruct their field of view, or create snag points.

Fields may have policies regarding filming, privacy, and the use of cameras in staging areas or spectator zones. Some events require that players obtain permission before recording, especially if footage will be posted publicly. Cameras should also be protected from direct hits when possible, since paint and impacts can obscure lenses or damage housings.

Used appropriately, action cameras help players review their positioning, communication, and decision-making, and provide useful material for educational breakdowns or highlight videos.
