Great video. It convinced me to pull the trigger on a DJI Osmo Action 4 with a remote GPS to replace my crappy budget action cam. No more losing phones :) On the Surron Ultra Bee engine braking... There are two independent types of regenerative (regen) braking, each with five different levels. The first type behaves like traditional "engine" braking, providing regen braking when you chop the throttle, similar to a gas bike. Freewheeling the rear wheel without a clutch can be tricky, which is crucial for handling greasy off-cambers and log crossings. With this type of regen turned off, freewheeling is possible by chopping the throttle. The second type is brake lever-activated regen braking. Both brake levers have a limit switch that activates regen braking at the very beginning of the lever stroke. I have this set to level 4, so when you touch the brake levers, it provides regen braking similar to engine braking on a 2T engine. This requires a slight adjustment to riding habits. IMHO When you get onto it it is at least as good or better than a clutch and traditional engine braking. Having both of the brakes up top and no foot controls is definitely better and it allows you to keep your feet positioned exactly where they should be at all times.
I think the Action 4 will be an excellent camera choice. I think I would get even more comfortable on an Untra Bee very quickly but it surprised me a bit at how easy it was to adapt to at a higher than basic level in just one ride.
