Just a beautiful motorcycle.

Thank you.

Loved the spot where the setting sun lit up the trees in a burst of color. Just realized today you can't swivel your head around without ruining the shot/making the audience nauseous. Really enjoying your vids, thanks!

[@MrMomo182]

Thanks. This vid is an experiment with the new GoPro Horizon Levelling Feature. It is supposed to add drama, but it also crops a lot of the frame, so I'm not sure about it. Since I have to adjust position a lot, it is difficult to keep the horizon in shot, and quite a lot of footage is unusable because of this. Hopefully, it will get better with experience.

@@MrMomo182 I thought the skyline looked lower; the field of view is pretty wide. The framing is very smooth - no jumping or jiggle or jerkiness. I was surprised you weren't tilting your head much on the curves, but the view definitely angled down on a couple sharp curves. I could not tell you needed to adjust position a lot despite taking the curves at speed - thanks for sharing 😺.

Thank you. The stabilisation software works pretty well. I played around with aspect ratio and wide angle, but settled on default bike mode. The camera is chest mounted, I haven't tried the helmet mount yet. I do use a bit of counter balancing but this is not a bike that can be leaned very much without scrapping, especially the right side brake lever. I knocked it off once. With no windshield, I have to get down on the tank at speed, so footage at over 90kmph is unusable. Helmet mount might fix that. When this model was raced back in the day, they put a sponge on the petrol cap for the rider's chin to rest on!
