Herbertlemon102 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Having the standard angles for filming is all fine and well, but I like to throw some interesting ones in there, for example, holding the camera focused on the rider (who's about to do a drop) and jumping down at the same time. One i found recently (link below) mounting the camera to the frame facing backwards, looks great for 'whips and manuals through puddles, even though there's none right now!

PMK Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 FWIW, the rear looking camera does offer a different than most perspective. The video you got is cool, but tough to really see the full action of some moves. A few years ago, we set up the camera aft facing on the Ventana mountain tandem. I was not sure what it would be like or capture. When we viewed the recording, it was kind of cool to see the bike sliding a bit through corners, The shock and suspension linkage working it's butt off. Some roost coming off the tire and so forth. Overall though, I found the rear looking setup best for capturing video of riders behind you. It does get boring after a bit. I have done a couple of videos capturing simultaneous forward and aft footage. Those can be cool, again in more of a group ride setting. I should have done these as a split screen, but two different model cameras made it not work. Honestly though, it seems the best videos are a mix of footage captured away from the bike, some helmet cam video, some frame video, and a bit of effort to give a good edit. This takes time and can be a pain if you are not into that kind of stuff. PK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
