Top 5 Dog-Friendly National Parks for POV Filming

National parks are a playground for dogs and their humans—but capturing your pup’s perspective of towering redwoods, alpine lakes, or desert trails takes more than just a phone. With Canine Vue’s 5K Camera Bundle, you can film their wagging-tail adventures in cinematic detail. In this guide, we’ll share the best dog-friendly parks, filming hacks for trails, and how to keep your gear (and pup) adventure-ready.

Canine Vue Filming Tips for National Parks

  • Maximize Battery Life:

    • Carry the 2 included batteries (4+ hours of 5K filming).

    • Lower to 4K/60FPS for slow-motion clips to save power.

  • Best Mounting Angles:

    • Chest Mount: For immersive trail perspectives.

    • Side Mount: To capture scenery + your dog’s reactions.

  • Wildlife Safety:

    • Keep your dog leashed (and camera rolling) if you spot bears, elk, or coyotes.

    • Use the 170° wide-angle lens to film safely from a distance.


Safety & Etiquette Reminders

  • Leash Laws: Most parks require leashes (even if your pup has perfect recall!).

  • Leave No Trace: Pack biodegradable waste bags (and a portable charger for your camera).

  • Weather Prep: Use the IP68 waterproof case for sudden rain or lake swims.
