First GoPro Vid (Page 2)

Got a Hero 2.  I also got a bunch of mounting accessories.  I have a bike mount, head mount, helmet mount, chest mount and a bunch of flat and curved surface mounts.  I plan on going crazy with this thing.

Dlyon - 2012-03-22 8:13 AM what mount did you use and where did you mount? beautiful backdrop.  beats my basement on long island, which is the only safe place to ride around here

 

It's the bike mount.  My bike is a TT bike so there are not many "round" tubes to attach to.  I put it on the stem hanging underneith and slightly to the side of center.  I think it worked out well.  Next I am trying out the helmet mount and the chest mount....

Nice video! What gorgeous scenery.

I'm actually glad it was a bike mount. I tend to get kinda sick watching hand held (or helmet mount/chest mount in this case) camerawork. It was really nice to get the perspective from a steady bike. Helmet cam is nice though, when you want to point something out to the viewer by looking straight at it...

You should try a low profile mount, like near the wheel...I've seen motorcycle videos shot like that and it's awesome when you're on a windy, twisty route. Ooooooh I can just imagine what fun it'd be to be riding in a big group and shooting from a low angle.

Nice! Think I know where you mean too. It just keeps going up there. Was out there a few years ago to visit my brother. Didn't have the bike with. Looks like a great area to ride! Did end up hiking into Red Rock Canyon (and a few other places).

BrianRunsPhilly - 2012-03-22 9:01 AM Great first video, with the sun at your back the shadow of you on the bars is awesome. But aren't you supposed to yell 'on your left' when passing?

 

Nah, I just put 'em in the "crosshairs" and start yelling 'PEW-PEW-PEW" 

 

MCA - 2012-03-22 8:58 AM What part of Vegas is that?  I just ran the Red Rock Canyon 1/2 marathon a few weeks ago and this video reminded me of that run.  That's in Summerlin, right?

 

Yep that's Charleston riding out towards Red Rock.  I sometimes forget and take for granted how gorgeous and exotic my scenery is and I didn't even ride the loop for this vid.  That route is REALLY gorgeous.

My wife and I rode the Red Rock loop on Tuesday, I was watching the video thinking it looked really familiar!  I'd love to have the option to ride roads and routes like that all the time!

Ok here's the set up I used:

I got a couple of other good ideas for mounting locations:

Or

Nice ride, Nice music. I've been thinking about getting the Go Pro2. 

Man that's a nice bike.

This was great - awesome job.  Agree with the other comments, the music really worked and scenery was awesome...made me wanna go ride but now I gotta go check out GoPro cameras dammit!!

Cheers!
