Be warned, some risky undertaking and a near left hook at 1:26, not sure where to complain about the pot hole at 2:26 either?

    Nice commute, that's Victoria station on the left at 0.35 right?

    Ooh - the footage with the handlebars in the middle of the shot is really uncomfortable to watch. I want to lift my head the whole time to see farther ahead...

    yeah it's a fault with the 'chesty' mount. To improve the shot you need to mount the camera upside down in the mount. you can then tilt it further forward to allow the viewer to see the trail ahead as per in one of my recent efforts.

    Flip the footage in whichever editor you use.

    Anyhoo, why is this in commuting or has someone changed the link cos there's definitely no victoria station at Coed-y-Brenin??? :lol:

    subtle mocking of the camera warriors :wink:

    And legend! This was my first time with the chesty, was about to start modding the mount to make it aim higher, your method sounds much easier! 8)

    My Go-Pro HD allows you to invert the image natively (if that's the right term) so you can mount the camera either way up and end up with the footage the right way up on the card.

    Mine would too if I downloaded the software and messed around with the settings.

    But as I never view the footage straight off the camera onto a TV then it's not really worth my while bothering... :wink:

    Nice!

    I'm heading off to Wales (Cardigan coast) in a week's time. No C-y-B, but I was hoping to squeeze in Machynlleth and Nant-yr-Arian between family stuff.

    Also pondering taking the road bike and going for a couple of rides up and down the coast.
