Jimmy's advice was by far the most useful to me. Through the course of 7 years I've tried different mounts in almost every imaginable place on my bikes but I've never told a story.
The mouth mount was a total game changer for making my cycling videos! I got this after seeing you riding with one a while back. Also it’s really encouraging to see you guys sharing the years of experience you’ve got in making these videos, so valuable to those newer in the game.
I'm still waiting for a video about how you film with your FULL FRAME camera on bike! I have always been impressed you did that...I could never figure out how. ❤
Little secret nobody is talking about that I tried out yesterday. There is a plastic lens hood in the pack, just like the normal lens cover but without the glass. If you switch over to that on very sunny days you no longer get any lens flare in your footage ;) Just remember to change it back over to the normal one if it is wet as camera is not waterproof if you switch over. Also removing the glass cover in low light is meant to dramatically increase quality as well as the iso drops slightly. But you do loose that extra protection to the main lens so need to take care and not damage it.
I think there's an argument that a comparatively unknowledgable person should be shooting in 30 fps rather than 24. I definitely am a huge fan of the cinematic feel of 24 fps video for bike content, but the fact of the matter is that many people are watching internet content on devices with screens that are operating at 60 Hz, which results in judder from the 3:2 pulldown required to play the video. In particular, road bike content often has the painted road lines with sharp/high-contrast edges moving across the screen at a fairly constant speed, which can really strongly show judder and be somewhat distracting. It's certainly a matter of taste, but I think the slightly less cinematic feel of 30 fps video is a worthwhile tradeoff for the increased smoothness of motion.
A really small flexible tripod. Place the camera high, in a tree or very low for rideby shots? Make videos for yourself on special rides (with friends) . They will make great memories one day. Nice shirt Jim.
I find the most helpful thing when using an Action cam is to give it to a 10 year old. All the story gets told and angles for shots you would never imagine!
The Fidlock pinclip is fantastic for switching between mounts within seconds. It uses a magnetic connection, so you can unclip it from your grill mount to a different mount just like that. Now tightening screws etc.
I have the original DJI action camera. The sound quality isn't great, so I bought the adapter and it improved a lot...but you have to make sure the mic adapter is solidly in there. Any bump in the road can make it jiggle out slightly...only to find that out when you get home. How's the mic on this new DJI? Does it require the adapter? Great video BTW.
30fps should be use when doing anything sports related. Its an action cam. 24fps isnt read for constant action sport type filming. You can have 3 camera views. I use a rear, front under stem, and either on top of my stem or shoulder clip on bag. The top stem is best as I can rotate that camera in any direction I want.

This is such a good take on what/how! Excellent work. I’m starting mine (finally) and what Jimmy said is spot on, I’ve already got a storyline ☺️ Cheers pal(s)
Just a note for the chest mount: If you are on your limit and breathing heavily it will show on you footage as your chest periodically rises thus changing the angle of the camera. Not the end of the world but can be a little bit frustrating.
Super good tips. Fledgling UA-cam channel going and I’ll use some of these for sure. Working on storytelling. I use the GoPro media kit as it allows for inputs too and cuts down on wind noise. I can use a Bluetooth mic that way.
Is there an option for non go pro cameras? Anything for an iphone? I am not a pro biker but would love to record some family bike rides. I also have a panasonic camera it’s bigger than a go pro so not sure how that would work
Quality is really important for stem mounts too. I tried a cheap one, but it flexed so much just from road vibrations that the footage was terrible. K-Edge mounts are aluminum and very stable. The mic will pick up tons of road buzz and drivetrain sounds quite loudly through the frame though.
Great suggestions in this video! 👏👏👏 I'm a VERY part time cycle filmer, so I don't use a special action camera. Instead I use my iPhone 14 Pro Max. It actually takes lovely videos and its image stabilization/action mode is quite commendable. I use a Joby tripod and a smartphone mount adapter to attach the iPhone to my bike. Joby tripods are the ones that are made of many individual "links" which allows then to be twisted into just about any shape you want. I usually use mine to wrap the legs around my handlebars. It is surprisingly stable. If I'm riding with a mate, I wrap the legs around their neck to remind them that I am THE BOSS. P.S. Some Joby tripods have magnetic feet. That comes in handy at times as it will adhere to any ferrous surface at any angle and allow for some creative "passing by" shots or chitchat shots at a coffee shop. P.S.S When you upload videos to UA-cam there is an option to employ their post processing image stabilization feature. You may or may not like it. But it's worth a try.
@@ridhwanpatel7265 You'll hear all sorts of responses from people on this subject. Some will say they've had phone cameras damaged by vibration, while others will say they've ridden thousands of miles without issues. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like any actual studies have been done on this. Personally, I have had no ill effects to my iPhone from mounting it to my handlebars. The Joby does provide some shock absorption unlike rigid phone mounting systems such as the QuadLock. Then again, there are thousands and thousands and thousands of Phones mounted to bikes using QuadLock systems. If that presented a problem you'd think social media would be red hot with complaints. I used a Quadlock for many years to mount my older iPhone to my handlebars. No I'll effects to the camera. Apple does warn about mounting your bike on the handlebars of high powered motorcycles without a shock absorbing system due to the constant vibration from the engine. They make no statements about mounting the phone to a bicycle. Sorry I couldn't be of more help with a definitive "Yes or No" answer. (Assuming your question was actually a question and not a warning to never mount a phone to your bike!)
Obviously this is more focused at people using their action cameras as a day-to-day dash cam - get a power bank that fits in your top tube bag and run the cable from it to the camera. Obviously, be careful it it's raining; but it can mean not having to change batteries. Even with the smallest power bank I have, I can get 3-4 hours of continuous recording on a single battery. On my cargo bike, I have a huge 22000mAH power bank in my Attacus handlebar bag and that gives my GoPro Hero 11 about 12 hours of recording time. More than enough for any ride, or (and let's be honest, it's this) when I forget to charge the GoPro batteries before I head out. Obviously much more limited in terms of what shots you can do, but it's also a good way of charging it up when you're not filming with it!
windslayer is so much better then the mini stick on windmuffs due the the cameras having multiple mic ports (one under next to the mag mount on the action 3/4) + DJI extendy pole thingy is the shiz btw!
Highlight button on the GoPro is my new favourite thing. As I record my whole rides, it is much quicker to find those moments again, rather than trawling through it all.
@Cade_Media Helmet mount, not sure this is a good advice! remember Michael Schumacher with a Go Pro attached to a ski helmet not designed with go pro mount? For Safety Reasons, Cameras and lights should not be attached/added to helmet which are not designed for it; Safety device should not be altered. Sticking a camera mount will alter the safety device as it redistributes the loads in a different way than originally intended and could cause serious arm ( again: Michael Schumacher).
Thanks Francis, great and helpful. I'm old so I video rides so that I'll have something to watch and remember when I can't ride any more. A few questions if you don't mind. How do you attach your camera to the mount? I'm usually out for several hours so I have to change the battery several times so I need a way to access the battery compartment easily. How do you make the video right way up when you shoot inverted? Love Jimmy's jersey, looks great. Where should I look for one? Love your videos, please keep them coming.
i've lost my mind once trying to figure it all out and at one point I just stopped caring, lol this now gets back into my head lol fml and rim brakes for life! okay I shutup now
Good tips, and I must say, your footage always works, so that's clear proof you know what your are talking about. The chest mount for sure is the best compromise between riding convenience and shot quality but it feels a bit odd going out as a non-creator and riding 3 hours to a mountain top with your chest belt strapped on for one good shot. Outfront under the stem only works for descents but it really needs a sweeping one because speed doesn't come off very wel, and you have to turn vertical stabilizers off. However, the hardest part is getting a good shot or actually "tell a story". I have found that views you think look cool through your own eyes are in fact boring on camera.
Well that’s wierd…. I opened up the UA-cam app with the purpose of finding out more about video cycling for UA-cam. What do I find at the very top of my feed….. didn’t realise the algorithm was telepathic
Excellent piece. The BiteMount is a super low tech game changer. You can also put in your hand and ride aside a group or back hand to get riders from behind. On helmet mount, there is a vented GoPro with straps and no need for gluing on a mostly permanent mount to your bike helmet.
I wish there was a ‘commuting camera’ that has minimum 5 hours battery, does not look like a box, slim design for helmet use. Easy on and off. Good quality to use as evidence. Waterproof.

My GoPro rip-off uses the "press button to shoot, press again to stop" method. Trouble is when you can't see the button and tactile feedback is poor, due to lousy camera, winter gloves, frozen fingers, whatever. I did one ride where I filmed everything except the bits I wanted to film because I missed just one click. I have three of the things and I haven't used them for years.
TURN OFF the hypersmooth / ultra stabilisation / flow state if you're mounting the camera to the bike (and can see the bike in the shot)! If you can't see the bike, you want the scene to be stable. Hypersmooth on. If you can see the bike, you want the bike to be stable (otherwise it looks like the bike is waving and jumping around everywhere.) Hypersmooth off.
The "Sticky Tape" Francis is referring to is called "3M VHB tape." Some varieties of VHB tape are built for general purposes, while others have special features for specific solutions. These tapes are available for situations with high dynamic stress, applications to paints and plastics or plasticized vinyl, and conditions that require transparent tape. Unsolicited advice. Don't buy cheaper imitations of this product. Buy 3M's. 😘
ya, boaring videos of me riding arround. thats why I always want an action cam or drone when a new one comes out, but then I really cant find a need for one...
I recommend a 360° camera. It doesn't matter anymore where the camera is pointing at (beside the stitch lines), so you only have to worry about the position or the camera. But of course it will take you a bit more time to process the videos afterwards.
As far as the helmet mount is concerned. I don't believe helmets are tested for use with a mount on top. Wouldn't it change the way the foam distributes the pressure potentially leading to injury?
Yes, mounting stuff to your helmet does in theory in the perfect worst case scenario could make an impact worse. In my case, I use a camera for safety, having the camera looking where I’m looking is more important than the very small chance that not having a camera could improve the outcome of an impact
I've been making video's of my (family) ski-trips for years and years. Biggest mistake is a video which is way too long. Nobody wants to see a complete 15 minutes down-hill ski exercise, recorded from only one point of view. My tip: I always use an uptempo piece of music (or just a very calm one!) as a 'carrier' for the video. A good song lasts for a maximum of 3 to 5 minutes, that's long enough for a video also. I cut the scenes to the length of a verse or corus or even smaller parts, just follow the flow of the music. As example, a 'slower' one from some years ago: ua-cam.com/video/7YDRc-RHSZg/v-deo.html
Is that his false teeth hanging out of his pocket or is he a UA-camr? Seriously though, do you get issues with grease or sweat on the lens if you keep the camera a pocket?
Please ask Fidlock to make more Pinclips and extra pins more available in the USofArseholes. DEAR Jimmy I love my story-less bike videos and so do the other 27 people who've seen them in, full, but more probably in part. thank you very much.

Is there a link to the little fluffy wind reduces that helps support you?
My favourite thing about this DJI camera and accessory centred video is that it only has links below it to GoPro and Insta360 kit.
I use my GoPro as a dashcam, so 60fps is a must to better capture licence plate numbers.
What about dirt when the bite mount is sticking out of your pocket?

Thanks for the great video 🖖 which Watch did you wear ? Looks nice
C+P from above - Garmin of some flavour, one of the Fenix I'd guess but not super au fait with the lineup.
Can you wear a chest strap heart rate monitor underneath a chesty? Looks like they would overlap and would create more pressure on your chest.
i have, you can adjust the height of the harness to be higher, it is annoying though - wrist heartrate instead?
I wear my HRM with my chesty without any issues. YMMV.
Good tips, and I must say, your footage always works, so that's clear proof you know what your are talking about. The chest mount for sure is the best compromise between riding convenience and shot quality but it feels a bit odd going out as a non-creator and riding 3 hours to a mountain top with your chest belt strapped on for one good shot. Outfront under the stem only works for descents but it really needs a sweeping one because speed doesn't come off very wel, and you have to turn vertical stabilizers off.

I cut the scenes to the length of a verse or corus or even smaller parts, just follow the flow of the music. As example, a 'slower' one from some years ago: ua-cam.com/video/7YDRc-RHSZg/v-deo.html
Well my problem is, i do violate the privacy of people un-knowingly catched with the camera.. Hmmmm
Hang the camera on kids, and then.... Just try it out!
Is that his false teeth hanging out of his pocket or is he a UA-camr? Seriously though, do you get issues with grease or sweat on the lens if you keep the camera a pocket?
helmet mounts are a bad idea. if you need your helmet in a crash, you have compromised the protection of the helmet.
....and that's why everyones youtube content looks the same....also Jimmi looks like he's wearing 70's linoleum🤢
Do not ever put anything on you helmet! It is a safety device, attaching anything to it compromises it's main function! Just don't!
Isn't that what got Michael Schumacher?
I don't video my bike routes, but nonetheless guys a really interesting video, full of handy tips, thanks for sharing amigos! 🫡👏
Please ask Fidlock to make more Pinclips and extra pins more available in the USofArseholes.
DEAR Jimmy I love my story-less bike videos and so do the other 27 people who've seen them in, full, but more probably in part. thank you very much.
