When positioning your GoCam, GoCam 2, or Ghost camera, it's important to take into account the difference between the field of view in a photo and the field of view in a video. (This does not necessarily apply to GoLive or GoLive 2 because the video is not cropped but you do still want the target area in the middle two thirds of the frame.)
Photos and videos have different aspect ratios. Photos are 4:3 while videos are 16:9. This means that the content you see in photos and videos will be slightly different.
To get the best results from your video, be sure to position your camera with these differences in mind. You will want to be sure that, for video, the action you want to capture is toward the middle of the frame rather than the top or bottom, as would be acceptable for a photo.
