Thanks
Its often a bit of pushing involved to get to the top, but usually worth it.
Around Leknes “town” there are quite a few very nice more hill like mountains that you can reach by bike

And you can find those trails in Trailforks. Was last summer there
 
We have not been able to ride in our local woods due to the lockdown so far this year but only 9 days to go until we are freed. I watched this today to remind me so thought I would share it here:-

 
Did that exact run twice last weekend. It was fun being drier. Wicked in the wet!

I saw two people with a drone whilst I was there, maybe saw you without realising it... ?

i Like going up also, you seen the new fencing down shooting hut :(
 
Some of the trails and tracks at Rivington and Winter Hill.

First attempt with a GoPro and need to adjust the camera angle on the chest mount or switch to a helmet mount.

Impressed with picture quality.

5 clips: -

1. First run and came across three deer. Managed to grab camera and got a shot of one leaving the area ( centre top)

2. Short steep and narrow pitch near the Japanese Gardens.

3. Descent off the top of Winter Hill down into Belmont. Rough, rutted and technical.

4. The pitch from the track up to Winter Hill back down to Wilderswood. Mudhugger moved due to the rough bouncing around and that's what you hear as I get to the bottom gate.

5. Pitch down to top car park of the Belmont Road from the Pidgeon Tower. Caught a pedal as I cut across from left to right part way down. Loads of walkers and dogs didn't help.

That bit around 9:30 looked a bit entertaining !

I think you need to point the camera down a bit more .. I couldn't quite tell what your feet were doing ? ;)

I'd stick with your chest and just angle up a bit. Helmet mounts with the newer cameras seem to smooth and flatten too much and unless you're doing 50mph look really flat, slow and uninteresting.

The problem with the chest mount ( which I use a lot) is that you have to adjust the angle depending on whether you are on the saddle or standing on the pedals. If you set the camera so that as far back as it will angle is right for when you are stood on the pedals it takes the guesswork out of adjusting it quickly. You have to have the fixing bolt just tight enough to keep the camera in position but loose enough to be a ble to rotate the camera forward when you are seated.

Alternatively try a chin mount like the Telesin......................

Thanks @Mikerb , I'll look into that. I have a Bell Super R with detachable chin strap.

I've done another short video today with the camera angled differently. Better view perspective I think - just got to stop my Camelbak strap flapping across the lens occasionally.

yep...better angle. What gopro are you using? The image is very "cold" and the trail is blown out ( overexposed) so you need some changes.

At the beginning of this video I say what settings I am using. The video is rendered at 1080@50 fps ( You Tube version is not as good as on my PC or TV!)

Hi Mike, GoPro Hero 8. Settings are: -

1080p 60Hz Standard, Linear. I think the auto exposure is doing OK considering what it was battling against - dark trees, emerging into light, etc.

I do think the YouTube processing isn't helping though. The raw out put on my PC looks great but YT looks processed.

New to the forums but thought that I would contribute a few of my own video submissions. I've already posted a couple of these over in the Giant forum. Check'em out.

Got the camera sussed. There must have been literally 10 * more people in that clip than I've seen in the whole of the last 6 months !

So, I think we can all agree, the "good lady" was kicking your arse ... what's it like when you ride with the bad one ?

I'm not usually on the bike with the bad one! :p
 
Not my edit and my ebike is still broken so on the pedal bike but here's one my riding buddy put together now we are allowed abck out in groups! He clearly had some time on his hands in lockdown ? Don't worry, it does get going properly after 15 seconds.
