GoPro mounting advice for a newbie videographerist
Posted: Sun Apr 25, 2021 6:10 pm
So... I'd been thinking about getting one for ages, but my awesome offspring have chipped in and bought me a used GoPro Hero 7 black for my birthday. I know it's a couple of iterations off the new spec, but it has the image stabilisation and seems, based on my limited playing about with it to take excellent videos.
Main use will be filming outdoor stuff, especially mountain biking, hill walking and motorcycling. I don't want to bore the tits off everyone as another rubbish wannabe youtuber, so this will primarily be for my own interest and maybe to share with mates who come out with me.
Loads to learn regarding editing etc, but my main question for you fine people, is how should I mount it to my bike? On my mtb I'll probably use a chest mount as I think that POV is a good compromise, but not sure on the motorbike. Off on a Scotland tour in a couple of months with the missus on pillion and would like to practice a bit before then on shorter rides to get competent ish at filming. Handlebar mount or helmet mount? I don't want to throw a load of cash at this - so budget friendly suggestions appreciated.
My Tiger GT Pro actually has GoPro integration so you can switch it off and on and take still images etc via bluetooth using the bikes switchgear. Dunno how well it works yet though.
