off to the FW's thread!Lol edit for an hour .... render for an hour ... upload for an hour .... realise you named the track wrong in the title ... gold lol
It makes a difference how you position yourself on the bike. So for example for me I have the GoPro the right way up but the strap positioned above my titties... so the lower part of the strap is about nipple height. I then have the GoPro tilted backwards until it almost hits the mount. I however am set up fairly up right when riding.Quickie Q re GoPro chesty -how do you get it to point straight ahead, i did a quick trial yesterday & it mostly points nearly straight down, do you add another piece rather than screwing the GoPro straight to chesty? Thanks
Sweet i’ll try upside down, thanksWhen I get a more more aggressive rider to take GoPro duties I actually turn the camera upside down so it can tilt even more towards the sky and when not on the bike it looks like it is almost pointing to the sky.
you can get a short extension piece on ebay for a few bucks. This way you can angld the camera back more. Either that or ditch the chest and ho for a Stuntman chest harness! Much better than the chesty!Quickie Q re GoPro chesty -how do you get it to point straight ahead, i did a quick trial yesterday & it mostly points nearly straight down, do you add another piece rather than screwing the GoPro straight to chesty?

Something to bear in mind is that YouTube process’s the footage you uploaded and can take a few days to look better. Of course this won’t help if the footage you gave YouTube is poor anyway. The longest mine has taken is 4 days from upload it was only available at 340p then suddenly it was available in 4K.Here's my first attempt at the chest mount.
The camera is an Insta 360 One. I'm still trying to work out the best settings and way to upload to YouTube to get decent quality.
Ok. Thanks, something to keep in mind. I have noticed that some upload and the highest quality is 340p... Could be why. I haven't checked after a few days though.Something to bear in mind is that YouTube process’s the footage you uploaded and can take a few days to look better.

The Stuntman harness is a heap better than the Gopro Chesty!I've currently started using this chest mount:

My knockoff gopro chesty did a decent job but it flapped around quite a bit when it got bumpy.
This base is much larger so the camera should move around less. Base is also a bit soft so it can bend and add some comfort.
What is surprising is how useful the two ball mount is. You orient to GoPro really low or forward.
Think of it like your elbow is mounted to the chest plate and your GoPro is in your hand.
Also adds some convenience when you want to mess around with angles and just unscrew with ball lock with your hand and leave the GoPro screwed in.
On my old chesty I found that I had to keep the screw key on me to tighten it enough so that it doesn't move down during riding.
Hand tightening the ball lock seems like enough so that it doesn't move during riding
Its not, I had the hero, hero2, Hero3b, Hero5b, Hero6b... and knew the hero 8 was coming, The Hero7 has nearly the same Hypersmooth.Doesn't seem like enough of a change over the H7B to make it worth upgrading. The integrated mount tab thingies are a good idea though, the biggest complaint I have with my H7 is needing to remove foam windblock, then take it out of the case to either pull SD or plug in USB.
