Boxing with Platypod

Want to capture knockout boxing shots without risking a black eye? In this video, Kersten Luts shows you how to shoot Ringside—using a remote-controlled camera setup for dramatic low-angle sports photography.

Whether you're shooting a match, sparring session, or full-on fight night, this Platypod setup makes it easy. I’m using the Platypod Extreme with the new Platyball Traveller to get the camera down low by the ring, locked in and stable.

Then, with a wireless remote trigger, I can fire the camera from a safe distance—no ducking punches required!

We’ll cover everything: gear setup, camera placement, focusing techniques, and my go-to camera settings for fast action in tricky lighting.

I’ll also share final images and tips for getting the most from your remote sports rig—even if you’re not working with the latest gear. If you’re into boxing, MMA, wrestling, or any kind of action sports photography—this is the low-angle rig that changes the game.
