Audio Issues
When I got the Hero5 I immediately switched Audio to "Wind only". For some reason I had switched it back to "Auto" and forgot about it. Many clips I captured this day started with muted sound. And some of the clips were muted at multiple positions. Background: The Hero5 has 3 microphone. It calculates a stereo sound out of it. If the wind noise is to strong (Auto mode) or if it is set to "Wind only". It switches to mono on chooses the microphone with least wind noise.
Trails:
These are no official trails. So I will not post any information about the exact location. If you want to do some trail riding in Austria have a look at these destinations:
Reschenpass, Nauders, Reschen: • Enduro-Trails in Naude...
Sölden: • Sölden Mountain Bike E...
Saalbach Hinterglemm (also downhill tracks): • Hacklberg-Trail Saalba...
If you are interested in even more natural trails you can also check out these regions in South Tyrol and Italy (We've been there in the last 2 years):
- Around Latemar (Dolomites, German: Latemar-Umrundung)
- Molveno/Paganella
- Meran, Latsch
You should be able to find trails with Google there.

Mount:
When I ride the enduro bike I use the GoPro Chesty mount. It's not perfect and I have to tighten it quite a bit. With video stabilization it seems to work quite good.

It was quite dark in the wood. But the sky was very bright compared to the ground. I used Adobe Premiere Lumetry Color effect to get the color and sharpness back. I'm still learning with this. For most of the video I used one setting. At some positions I used other settings when there was too much "bright" sky in the image.
GoPro Hero5 settings:
I filmed in 2.7K SuperView with digital video stabilization. The source video size is. 2704x2032. I cropped this to CZcams 1440p - which is 2560x1440. So I'm able to fine tune the vertical position. And maybe the SuperView effect/distortion is minimized a very little bit. - Sport
amazing footage, amazing riding. very well done. that camera does a great job at smoothing out the bumps
thanks for sharing those small trails are good thrill to look at and so i can imagine how satisfying it can be to be doe with it
i love it, i watch your videos all the time
What a great ride!
Absolutely awesome dude. I love the more natural trails, these looked like so much fun.
I definatly need to make a trip to Austria to do some mountain biking over there haha
those trails look so good
Great video, what an amazing place to ride!
Epic trail! Great job guys, very well done ,both filming and riding.
Hello from Canada!
Thanks! I've been in BC two times ... I hope I'll come back once again ;)
amazing trail!
Awesome trail !!! Mega cool!!
what awesome trail.....
What a beautiful place at the end of the road
Awesome. I'll be checking back for more.
Nice riding, nice video, good job!!👍
Excellent
Badass! ! more !more!
that looks insane
amazing!
"Des san schon megageile Wegerl"... da sagste was. Sehr schöne Trails, tolles Video!
Danke!
Mega track - mega fun ! :)
Nice trails
this is the best video！
Looks like really nice trails!! :)
Nice picture and sound is good from hero 5.
nice trails, I hope trails like this are in the near of my village
Grüße aus Deutschland
Awesome trail. Wish I had something like this. All the trails near me suck
pretty nice trails.....
Nice video!!!
Nice footage
Geiles Video, geiler Trail, geil gefahren
Wow! Absolut Top! Sehr gut. Weiter so Jungs.
nice trail
i love riding threw pines and ferns.... we call them type of trails renegade trails or rake and ride... most around my area now are pro build and maintained (100miles) coggs.com... thx for the vid..
Cooles Video...absolut geile Strecken und auch gut gefahren, bis auf das Umsetzen in den Kurven! :D
Danke! Beim Umsetzen hab ich noch Spielraum nach oben. Wobei die Kurven deutlich steiler waren, als es am Video scheint. Bei der ersten Kurve musste man z.B. das Hinterrad nicht nur versetzen sondern ca. 20-30 cm höher rauf über den Trail. Im Nachhinein ärger ich mich immer, wie blöd ich getan habe ;)
wow looks amazing! so glad I subbed to you the other week... only problem is now I want more videos as good as this one haha
Thank you! The problem is that the winter is close. So I'm not able to shoot more videos with the GoPro Hero5. I have footage of a couple of really cool bike days or tracks from the last two years which are not yet online. But I shot them with my old Hero3 Black. Thus not the quality of the Hero5 of course. On the other side the quality of this video is not that good either - it was simply too dark in the wood. But good news: This video only shows half of the awesome trails we rode that day (last Sunday). The best is yet to come! (But the trail starting in this video at 4:40 was really amazing!)
Do you have to travel far to get to these sort of trails because where I live in England its mostly flat and boring ( I live fairly close to London) if I ever wanna do something fast, steep, and technical I usually have to travel over 100 miles :(
I live close to Salzburg. I can ride without to go by car and even up to 800 vertical meters. But as mountain biking in general is prohibited in Austria it's not always that easy. Usually it's only allowed where there is some interest for tourism. I have about 1 to 1.5 hours to about 7 bike parks. And then I'm also in the mountains. These trails where also about 1 hour away but actually the home trails of one of the friends I was with. I had the privilege that he showed me "his" awesome trails!
Go pro is amazing
Propre le tracé
Fun and fast trail. Great riding! I don't see any rendering issues. Those leafs are just so hard for codecs to deal with.
wow. Nice
nice video, thanks for the office daydream :)
Mi diverto a guardarlo
Hi! Where is this trail?
Looks great! Grüsse aus der Schweiz :)
Super geile Trails! Speziell der ab 7:02. Ich liebe so schmales, steiles, mit "Abgrund" links rechts. Habt euch auch schön durch geschnörkelt!
Danke! Ja war richtig cool. Beim Fahren hatte ich den "Abgrund" gar nicht so mitbekommen - man ist auf den Weg konzentriert. Und es war nicht so steil bzw. alles verwachsen, dass man da nicht wirklich absturzgefährdet ist. Aber technisch, steil und eng war es!
Downhill Rangers !
Guten tag!
A kérdésem az lenne hogy milyen biciklivel mennek !??
How do you get the GoPro to remain that stable when going on the roots and the really bumpy parts? When I was riding, even with the hero 5s stabilization on, it is still very bumpy.
I will do a video over the winter on how I mount the GoPro. I modified the chest mount a little bit and I also use the straps of the backpack to hold the chest mount plate stable.
Muito top isso deveria ter aqui no brasil
saugeil aba des schaut irgendwie total surreal aus✌👍
Ja, SuperView lässt es extrem schnell wirken.
Tough bikes... And WOW!!! That was a narrow ridgeline at about 7:03...
There is this saying: If you've seen something next to the track - you where not fast enough ;) I did not see much of that ;) Always look where you want to go.
I wish the kids around here could see what you guys do. Kids around here could never afford cheap bikes, much less ones like you guys ride. Maybe someday use your talent to help those types of kids... I know you could change their lives...
drummerglenchin this is standard on local trails in austria ;)
nice video \o/
Great video, but could you please clearly state your recommendation for GoPro audio setting? The description of the video is quite confusing... thanks!
Thanks! For the first videos I did with the Hero5 I had set it to "Wind only". Here in this video the audio setting was off (accidentally). When it's "off", then this means "Auto". In Auto mode it switches automatically between Stereo and Wind only. I think you can even hear it that it sometimes sounds more stereo. Sometimes not.
Thanks for the explanation, this will come handy in case I decide to get the Hero 5 (but planning for the Session version). Also the digital stabilization looks fine to me, no need for a gimbal here (unless you want butter smooth vids). Cheers!
Amazing video! did you use some gimbal or phisical stabilization system?
No, just the digital video stabilization of the Hero5 Black.
Some moments so narrow, awesome! would like to see in 60fps though
Thank you. Do you see a difference to 30 fps? In the motion or because maybe CZcams will encode 60 fps material with a higher bit rate?
60 feels so alive like in GoPro trailer video, but 30 is smoother on the details I think, but it is personal preference
I preferred 60 fps because I could make better slow motion effects if needed. But the 2.7K SuperView mode only support 30 fps. In this video in the dark wood I assume there is not much of a different because there is some motion blur anyways. Maybe there is a bigger difference if it's brighter and the image is sharper. But I think that the 2.7K (in CZcams 1440p) is worth it over 60 fps at 1080p.
Man... How do these bikes handle so much beating?
Amazing trails, and nice footage!
Thank you! These are called "enduro mountain bikes". They are not quite as strong as downhill bikes (but close), have 150 - 170 mm of travel (I have 165 at the rear and 170 at the front). But they still are quite light (12 to 14 kg) to ride uphill with them. Also the frame geometry supports uphill and downhill riding. Once I tried how much vertical meters I can ride in one day. Total ascend (and downhill) was over 3000 vertical meters (10,000 feet). And this year we had a couple of weekends (Fr-Su - 3 days) where we rode about 14,000 vertical meters downhill - the ascends with and without the support of lifts and cable cars. So these bikes are really versatile.
Hi, beautiful videos, in this case where did you fix the GOPRO?
Chest mounted (GoPro Chesty, little bit modified)
nice
muito louco 😱😨
Great stuff DR! How about Auto-low light? On or Off?...I always get poor results when its on and filming in sunny conditions in forests especially for slowmo edits because of the variation in FPS....
Actually I did not read what the the auto low light mode actually is. For mountain biking it's surely not a good idea. My first "helmet camera" had a low light mode - I think it used the infrared spectrum of the light and switched to black and white.
When Autolowlight is active, the FPS automatically drops in darker conditions to enable more light to hit the sensor and this then affects slowmo in post. The higher the FPS, the smoother the slomo, so if FPS is changing all the time in Autolowlight, the slomo is not best unless you use something like Twixtor to fill in missing frames but then you run the risk of artifacts been created and you'll see this on the edge of moving objects especially where there's not much difference in contrast between the object you are trying to slow down and the background...ie its easier for the slomo plugin/effect to create new frames where the moving object is clearly different from the background.
You also see this effect of Autolowlight on with flaring (over exposed areas) when you go from dark to light areas quickly and the camera has to make fast adjustments to changing light.
It's always a trade-off. If the light is too low and you want so see something the shutter has to be opened for a longer time. But then you get motion blur. And of course the shutter cannot be opened longer than one frame so it maybe even has to reduce the frame rate. But maybe the image will be too dark if you don't use auto low light and would not look good either ...
Wow!
do you use clipless pedals
I went to kitzbühel and it was just like this!
Yes, I've heard that they have great trails too. But I only know the trails next to Kitzbühel - in Kirchberg in Tirol: The trails at the Fleckalmbahn und Lisi-Osl/Gaisberg-Trail at the Gaisberg chair lift.
Downhill Rangers yeah I went round lots of the Tirol trails - it really is beautiful there
I've done that trail on a cheap hard tail it's what Made me get the yt Jeffsy cf pro went back the other week on the jeffsy so much nicer
sehr geiles Video Jungs👏 wo habt ihr die GoPro da festgemacht? weil fürn Brustgurt wackelt es erstaunlich wenig😌
Es war der Brustgurt. Relativ fest zugezogen. Den Rest macht die Image-Stabilization der GoPro Hero5
Did you use any external stabilization (wearable gimball) ?
No, just the Hero5 internal digital video stabilization.
did you upload compressed video (h264) or uncompressed from Premiere?
Kompressed. But with about 60 MBit/s - as far as I remember.
too well your video I also mountain biking !!
Did you use a chestmount? Where us this trail, looks rad
Yes, I'm using the chest mount. Trail is not an official trail so I can't tell. Have a look at the video description. There I have listed a couple of mountain bike regions with similar trails.
do you think the image stabliization takes something away from the video?
I don't think - I know ;) This is also a reason why I filmed in SuperView. With FOV mode "Wide" and image stabilization the picture is a little to small in the vertical direction - especially if it's not aligned correctly (and it was the first time with this setup). SuperView is actually a 4:3 image where the edges are bloated to 16:9. In the 4:3 or SuperView mode the vertical FOV is more than large enough - even with stabilization. See here a FOV comparison when FOV is set to "Wide": czcams.com/video/pQrn2PzMItI/video.html (especially at 4:55)
Hi.. can you say me please, where are these tracks in Austria... ? I would like to visit Austria and try one of these tracks... ! :D Thank you for answer... :D
Hi these are some secrete home trails. I don't want to post them here as these are no official trails. But if you like such trails I would recommend these Austrian bike regions who are especially suited for enduro riding. There are also cable cars and other lifts so you can ride much more downhill than uphill:

OK... :D no problem... thank you for answer... ! :D
Hi, wieviel Speicherplatz braucht 2.7 k 30fps superview... pro Minute?
Das hängt von mehreren Faktoren ab. Ich filme in ProTune, da verwendet er eine höhere Bitrate als normal. Die Original-Clips von diesem Video haben 60 MBit/s. Das wären ca. 450 MB pro Minute. Deckt sich auch mit einem knapp 4 GB File bei 8:52 Länge.
Delicious!
WOW realy good stabilization I thought that the GoPro 5 will have not so good stabilization))
Like
Saugeil, sobald Bewegung kommt ist die Quali aber nicht so besonders, liegt das am Protune?
Prinzipiell liegt's am Licht. Es war zeitweise ziemlich dunkel. Damit wird dann jedes einzelne Bild verschwommen. Wenn man bei CZcams ein Video rauflädt, sind am Anfang nur die niedrigen Auflösungen verfügbar. Aber ich weiß nicht, ob es Einbildung ist, aber teils kommt mir vor, als ob sie später auch die einzelnen Auflösungen etwas später noch mit besserer Qualität nachliefern. Vermutlich aber nur Einbildung. Das ProTune-Bild muss man nachschärfen, aber wenn die Einzelbilder verschwommen sind, bringt man da leider nicht so viel raus.
ja, habs mir auch schon gedacht. Meine 5 ist auch schon da, bin von der Gopro 3 umgestiegen, da ist der Qualitätsunterschied bei Schwachlicht enorm. Einen Vergleich der beiden Cams werde ich auch in Kürze uplaoden. Danke J
Es wäre auch interessant, ob man bei solchen Situationen mit fixem Shutter und/oder ISO noch mehr rausholen kann. Bin kein Experte, aber nach meinem Verständnis: mit kürzerem Shutter-Speed wäre das Bild schärfer, aber auch dunkler. Das könnte man eventuell mit höhrem ISO ausgleichen. Das würde aber wieder mehr Rauschen verursachen. Rauschen ist schlecht zu komprimieren. Das müsste man dann software-seitig rausnehmen...
Looks to me that one of three microphones is broken. So when it automatically tries to reduce wind noise it turns the one that's not working. I might be wrong here.
This was also one of my first thoughts. But I have filmed some other videos. I only had it at one other day on one video for a couple of seconds (I only recorded a couple of seconds). But that was it. Maybe a firmware problem. maybe something with the micro SD card. Meanwhile I also switched to the recommended SanDisk cards.
Did you tried to turn off automatic wind reduction?
At this video I accidentally had set audio to "Auto". On the other videos I always had set it to "Wind Only".
I think The best way to check if any o microphones is bad is to set it to raw audio format. I think it writes several audio files separately, so you will be able to see if everything is good or not :)
does anyone know where this is in Austria? I'm going soon and would like to ride these trails
+Reid Skinner If you have not done yet: please read video description regarding trail recommendations
1. How the fuck do you do that
2. that is cool as hell 👌
Also wenn das ohne Gimbal war, Respekt! Bei meiner Hero HD 2 schaut des ganz anders aus 😂 Wie viel wurde denn durch das Stabilisieren am PC vom Superviewbild abgeschnittenes?
Die Stabilisierung macht die GoPro Hero5 Out-of-the-Box. Etwas ausgeschnitten habe ich allerdings. Das GoPro 2.7K Video ist 2704x1520. CZcams 1440p ist 2560x1440. Der Bildauschnitt von 2.7K SuperView ist so groß, dass ich das eben etwas ausgeschnitten habe. Hat sich auch angeboten, weil es das erste Mal war, dass ich mit der Hero5 und der Chesty gefilmt habe (am Downhill-Bike fahre ich mit Leatt Brace Nackenstütze und da habe ich sie dort montiert). Und ich hab sie mit dem J-Mount - aber im Vergleich zur Hero3 nicht Upside-Down montiert. Da ich da noch keine Erfahrung hatte, hat es sich angeboten, beim Schnitt noch etwas nachzujustieren.
Ok, merci für die Infos! Das Ergebnis taugt echt. Evtl. muss ich dann doch mal ein Upgrade holen...bei mir wackelt mit dem Enduro & Chestmount alles und wenn ich es so stark stabilisiere bleibt vom Bild nicht mehr viel übrig ;)
Wenn es ständig wackelt dann verschwimmt auch das Bild. Da bringt dann Stabilisieren nicht so viel. Hab leider heuer auch ein Wochenende so gefilmt... :( Meiner Meinung nach müsste die Chesty eine größere Grundplatte haben. Damit der Hebel der Platte im VErgleich zu GoPro größer wird. Ich hab mir dann auch für die alte GoPro die "The Frame"-Halterung besorgt. Damit war die 3er statt ca. 150 nur mehr knapp unter 100 schwer (wenn ich es richtig im Kopf habe).
Ist der trail zufällig in der Nähe von reutte?
Ich werde zur Location des Trails nichts sagen ;)
You capture this only with Gopro hero 5 and chest mount?
Yes, and activated video stabilization of the Hero5.
Wow it looks awesome man! Great video and great cam
amazing, where is this trail exactly?
Sorry, can't tell - it's an unofficial home trail. See video description for regions in Austria for enduro mountain bike riding.
What mount ? bc i was using the chesty and i kept getting shots of my legs lol
Simon Palacio He uses the chesty mount, tighten it and put it higher up and angle the camera higher. Use your phone and connect it to capture to fine tune the angle, or use superview and use editing to zoom in and fix the position the way he did(in description).
As MtbFiend already said. I used the chesty. Over the winter I will make a video where I describe how I mount it. So stay tuned! ;)
What's you camera settings? Are you using a gimbal
As far as I remember it was Superview with 30 fps. Electronic image stabilization. No gimbal
@@HannesSchmiderer cool thx
goodSuper
Nice video!! Do you have a gpx-file for this trail?
Sorry, it's a "home" trail of a friend. I had the privilege to ride it. Usually I don't post these trails but I wanted to to more videos with the GoPro Hero5 and it's the end of the season - most official parks and trails are closed already.
Downhill Rangers Ok, no problem. Looks like a great ride!!
+Downhill Rangers echt nen supi mtb trail. wie wärs, wenn du nur den startpunkt verrätst und ich such mir mein eigenen weg ;D
Leider geht das nicht. Aber wenn du ähnliche Trails suchst: In der Video-Description sind schon ein paar. Noch natürlicher sind aber die (und in Südtirol/Italien ist Biken überall erlaubt, wo es nicht explizit verboten ist): Heuer sind wir die Latemar-Umrundung gefahren. Sehr geil. Videos von diesem Trip sind leider sehr verwackelt - muss ich mal schauen, was ich da noch machen kann. Letztes Jahr waren wir Molveno/Paganella. Leider auch noch nicht zum Zusammenschneiden gekommen. Auch Meran bietet einiges - bissl ähnlich wie Latsch - ist ja gleich daneben. Und zu diesen Tipps sollte man im Internet was finden ...
+Downhill Rangers danke für die tipps, werd ich mir mal anschauen
What stabilizer are you using?
Christian Sanchez none
How it's so smooth
Mein GoPro 5 (habe ihn vor kurzem vom Freundin bekommen) hat kein 2.7k und 30 FPS, nur 24, 25, 48, 50, 80 FPS. Wie kann es sein dass deins 30 FPS hat?
Eventuell ist deine auf PAL gestellt und meine auf NTSC (falls man das einstellen kann). PAL ist die europäische "Fernseh"-Norm, NTSC die amerikanische. In Europa haben wir 50 Hz Netzspannung, daher 25 Bilder pro Sekunde. In Amerika 60 Hz, daher 30 Bilder pro Sekunde.
@@DownhillRangers Hmmm, interessante Frage. Weiß ich nicht ob das verstellbar ist. Die Kamera ist in Deutschland gekauft daher wahrscheinlich PAL und das macht total Sinn! Danke für die Erklärung.
Bin eigentlich positiv überrascht wie gut die Stabilisierung von GoPro 5 bei dir aussieht! Ich habe ihn selber noch nicht getestet, freue mich aber schon nachdem ich dieses Video sah!
Ich stelle meine wegen der 30 bzw 60 fps immer auf NTSC um. Weil heutzutage hat das nur mehr wenig Bedeutung ob Pal oder NTSC. Die Geräte nutzen sicher nicht mehr die Netzspannung, um den Bildaufbau zu synchronisieren. Und die Auflösungen sind auch weit größer.
@@DownhillRangers Nö bestimmt nicht. Deswegen habe ich auch dran nicht gedacht. Aber ich denke trotzdem ist es auf PAL bei mir eingestellt weil sonst gibt es keine andere Erklärung.
@@DownhillRangers ah ich habe die Einstellung gefunden. Gibt im App (PAL/NTSC). AUF NTSC gibt es dann wieder 30 FPS :)
Danke dir! Ich hätte nie drauf gekommen xD
about ur bike is it full suspension or fork suspension
It's full suspension. 170 mm at the front and 165 mm at the rear.
Eine Idee, warum der Ton verloren ging? Beim ersten Mal dachte ich noch "ok", aber das trat dann doch oft auf.
Keine Ahnung. Anfangs dachte ich vielleicht, dass ein Mikrofon nass geworden ist (es hatte zweitweise genieselt). Aber eigentlich galube ich das nicht. Interessant war, dass fast die Hälfte der Clips muted gestartet sind. Nach 1-3- Sekunden war aber normalerweise der Ton da. Nur bei 2-3 Clips gab's ständig Fehler. Ich hatte halt irrtümlich noch auf "Auto" gestellt gehabt, was ich bei den ersten Videos nicht hatte. Ich glaube aber, dass ich auch eine Woche davor einmal einen Aussetzer hatte, wo ich nicht auf "Auto" gestellt hatte. Ich werde mal an GoPro schreiben.
Ich habe irgendwie an die Umgebungstemperatur gedacht, aber dann doch den Gedanken verworfen - immerhin filmt man auch im Schnee. Wahrscheinlich eh nur ein Firmware/Software Problem...
Vermutlich, ja!
how many battery did you use?
I had 2 batteries at this day but probably I would have made it with one. In this video are only segments of 50 to 60% of the footage I did this day. So I have planned another video of two other really cool trails we rode thit day.
Waren das überhaupt downhill strecken oder Wanderwege
Der Name des Channels "Downhill Rangers" ist sehr alt (1998). Damals gab's nur Cross Country und Downhill. Mittleweilen hat sich das weiterentwickelt. Es gibt deutlich mehr Spielarten. Der Name ist geblieben. Und die Downhill-Bikes von damals konnten nicht mal halb so viel wie diese Enduro-Bikes, die wir hier im Video fahren. Die Enduro Bikes sind "downhill-orientierte Touren-Bikes" (ich nenne das einfach mal so). Also wir sind hier eine Tour gefahren. Ja, auf Wanderwegen.
Hey I was just wondering where in Australia this trail is
Fin Wardman it's not in Australia...
Austria - Central Europe
loool haha
Cooles Video Hannes! Bei 9:10 hättest das Umsetzen sicher auch zusammengebracht. Sieht natürlich im Video immer viel leichter aus als es ist, aber es wäre machbar!
Thanks. Mittlerweilen geht das Umsetzen schon deutlich besser.
Saugeil he! Mit was fürner Gabel fährstn du?
Dannke! Rock Shox Lyrik 170 mm von 2013. Siehe auch in der Beschreibung unter "Bike"
Downhill Rangers Oh sorry hab ich leider nicht glesen😂
Really Nice stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Isn't it illegal to ride trails like this on MTB in Austria pretty much everywhere?!
An MTB nut friend of mine lives there, but always has to look out for the land owners ...
Yes - that's exactly how it is. There are regions where it's really a problem to ride. But there are also others where it is tolerated. Or as long as there are not many people riding or hiking it it's OK. That day we rode almost 40 km on trails and gravel roads. It was not quite a fine weather (it was even snowing some single snow flakes at the top). I think we only met 2 hikers on the trail and a couple more on the gravel roads. It's also often a problem near cities where a lot of bikers and hikers want to use the same trails. The good thing is that more and more regions "discover" the mountain bikers and build trail networks - more or less naturally. I like these offers. I'ts always good to have dedicated mountain bike trail where I do not bother any hikers and can usually ride as fast as I'm able to. And they have lifts so you can often ride 5000 vertical meters downhill with only maybe 1000 vertical meters uphill.
Yeah but it's still nice to go ride some undiscovered trail with few people in it. Too many trail networks choose to create trails looking like pumptracks and many of them don't feel like real exploration.
what kinda bike should i get that i an trust while riding like this?
Ryan any bike over $300 is fine for this
not at all lmao, these guys are most likely using enduro's. atleast 2k for a good quality one.
Can you do a video on your bikes and gear
I also subscribed
Over the winter I will do something like that.
What kind of bike is that?
I't s a Specialized Enduro from 2013. custom build. See video description for more info and link to pictures.
U use stabilizer ???
Just die internal electronic image stabilization of the GoPro Hero5
Have you already heard of the Sony FDR X3000? It uses lens based stabilization, which doesn't only work way better than the Hero 5s solution, but also is available in 4K and slow motion modes.
I would be very happy, if you would check it out, since the Hero 5s footage is still very jerky.
I know that the Sony action cameras do offer optical video stabilization as Austrians fastest mountain bike downhill racer (Markus Pekoll) is sponsored by Sony and posts videos from time to time. But I prefer the chest mount. And the design of the Sony cams is not that optimal for chest mounting.
Downhill Rangers That is only partially true - only the latest model (which is out since 2 weeks) offers that new lens based stabilization (with moving parts inside the lens).
I can't find a video from Markus Pekoll which was made using that camera.
The solution before that was software based just like the Hero 5s new stabilization.
I personally don't find it to be a problem to mount the camera on a chest-harness. The GoPro is around 3.5 centimeters long (measured including the lens) - the FDR X3000 is 8.3 centimeters long. So it is just slightly sticking out.
I can't ask for more than you trying it out (maybe you know someone who owns it).
With a 2€ adapter (quarter inch to GoPro mount) you can mount it to your chest Harness.
Thanks for your reply, really appreciate it ;)
Sorry. I do not know how I came to the conclusion that the Sony action cameras where already stabilized optically. I was not that impressed back then (long ago) because most videos I saw had the camera on the helmet. With stabilized footage from the helmet the action gets lost a bit and further more I often saw a stabilized image but a helmet visor shaking like crazy ;)
The problem with the original chest harness is that it does not work very well for me. I already had to modify it a little bit that it does not shake that much. But meanwhile the straps have possible already lost tension. I bought a lighter housing ("The Frame") for my old GoPro. But the Hero5 is much heavier as the old without frame - so I have to set the straps really tight.
Just saw that the Sony is not that heavy (114g). But the center of gravity is farther away as with a GoPro-sized camera.
But when downhill riding I mount the camera on my neck brace. This is very stable. That should work. And as I get a gimbal to test I have too find a solution for the chest mount problem anyway.
A gimbal would be quite bulky in comparison to the Sony. It would be a cool opportunity to test the Sony. But for everyday use I think I prefer a rather flat camera design when mounting on the chest. The Sony would probably fit best on the helmet under the visor.
Downhill Rangers Thanks again for that detailed reply.
Its interesting to hear that you use a custom mounting solution - ever thought of getting in touch with a manufacturer who produces third party GoPro accessories to create a better mounting solution?
With the size of your CZcams channel I am confident that at least one company would take your suggestions into consideration.
As I said - if you get the chance to test the FDR X3000 I would be really interested to see the video, yet if you prefer the GoPro and don't have a chance to get your hands on the Sony, I am fine with that, too.
You have definitely raised my interest in the FDR X3000. What I don't like with the GoPro: CZcams offers quite a good quality at 1440p (not visible in this video above - light conditions and I did not sharpen the raw/Protune video enough). 2.7K of the GoPro is just above 1440p of CZcams. In Wide mode it offers 60fps. But with wide & stabilization the alignment of the camera is very critical because the vertical FOV is quite small. So I used SuperView here. But this distorts the image quite a lot and it only works with 30 fps as 2.7K. Bad that the Sony does not offer a 1440p resolution with 60fps (as far as I saw).
Is it a motorbike you use?
No, not even an e-bike
