A practical solution is to use a second, small video camera mounted to your DSLR, rather than a head/body camera. A GoPro-style camera on your head is likely to be shaky and often pointed the wrong way as you look around; mounted on the DSLR, it will follow where you aim the still camera.

You can do this with a hot-shoe adapter or a bracket that adds a tripod screw mount for a compact video camera or action cam.

Another option is a camera that can capture stills while recording video, or to shoot high-resolution video and pull frames from it later. For example, 4K video gives you frames around 8MP, which can be fine for web use and modest prints, and the 30 fps frame rate helps catch peak action.

If you do use a camera’s still-during-video feature on a tripod, a remote shutter release can help reduce shake when triggering the photo.

So the best fit here is usually: keep shooting stills with the DSLR, and add a lightweight mounted video camera for the closer video angle.
