      @firdaushanapiah7691 Personally I think staying in the North of the island is better than the south. From the North you have the option of flat rides as well as access to the mountains. There is less flat riding in the South. As for where to stay..in the North there are many options in the Alcudia and Port Pollenca areas. Last time we visited we stayed in Alcudia at this hotel

Must be one of best places in world to ride and best thing is so close to UK so easy to get to for a quick trip or two. I went twice this year and going back next year.

    Great video.. we did the same route 3 weeks ago and it blew our minds too! Did you try the rough road up from where you stopped for refreshments? It’s a good climb but very rough surface with loose gravel.
    It sounds like you’re from the NW area, Cheshire/merseyside (ish) I live north wales nr Abersoch and Pwllheli and there are some fantastic roads over hear, so if you’re in the area give me a shout for some good climbs and car free country roads.

      @LivandTrekGoCycling  11 місяців тому

      Hi Jazz. For this video I used the Insta 360 x3 and the Insta 360 go 3 camera. The x3 was chest mounted using the standard insta 360 chest mount strap. You'll see it under accessories on their website. Thanks for commenting 👍

    • @jazz857
      @jazz857 11 місяців тому

      Thank you. So just wondering how does the x3 and x go work together as in how do you combine the footage? Sorry new to all this. If I just purchased one which would you recommend? Also what’s the battery life like?

    • @LivandTrekGoCycling
      @LivandTrekGoCycling  11 місяців тому +1

      Once we have the footage I transfer it to the computer...you'll need a decent spec'd computer to video edit and to edit the footage from both cameras I use a video editing program called Filmora 13. It's really user friendly for the beginner...which I still am. You should note however that if you use the x3 camera to record 360 Deg footage...you'll need to use the Insta studio desktop program to 'keyframe' it first. Before you buy
      ..do plenty of UA-cam research on this first. I also have the Insta 360 ace pro camera which is probably my best camera..that doesn't shoot 360 Deg footage. If you're just starting out, I'd recommend Filmora 13 and just one action cam....stay away from the x3 initially. The Insta 360 ace pro is ideal. I've never had a go pro. I have a 256 GB memory card in the ace pro and I get about one HR recording time in 4k but for long rides I carry a spare battery also.

    • @jazz857
