Fug, not my bike here, but this is my camera and mount. In that video, it was mounted on the seat tube below the top tube junction. I'l take a picture when I get home tonight, but this gives you the idea.
Meanwhile, one more video. This was in April. Sorry about the chesty footage pointed too far down, I had just gotten the GoPro and was still learning the angles. I have that figured out now.
Nice vid! Falcom trail looks pretty fun.I got that lens cover from xvusa dot com. I would have put a link, but I just tried to go to their page and Chrome threw up a malware warning about the page, so I don't know what's up with that.EDIT: Here's their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Xtrem...47814251938646

Hey, this looks like as good a thread as any to put my video in. It was made with passion, too bad this thread did not seem passionate enough for the passion forum .
Anyways, I'm new to this video stuff, but this is the first edit I'm proud enough of to post up here. Feel free to offer constructive criticism.
Sweet.video jay! The helemt shots had much lower quality then the stills ... nice jumps and rollers in that area. Is it really that close to your house? I love shots of.peoples bike dens that was a nice intro. Liked the video alot nice job.
Thanks, I ordered a chesty to hopefully improve the POV footage. I also took a little liberty with the intro. I do have a couple of miles of trail behind my house, but those aren't the trails in the video.
No POV shots here, just a quick shoot I did after work with some of my buddies sessioning a local spot. My first attempt of making an actual riding video.
Constructive criticism is welcome and encouraged!
I want to play! Here's one I cobbled together from a couple weeks ago, riding at Sycamore Canyon next to Pacific Coast Hwy. This was the steepest trail I've done, with so much climbing in so short a distance. Just kept going and going and going and...
So I went to the United States for vacation, a whole 1 month roadtrip across the country and back. I'm so glad to have planned 2 days off the car and on rental bikes. The chosen places were Moab and Durango.
Next time it will be a complete mtb trail hunt roadtrip, for sure. Two days was not enough.
Great edit Lawson! Looks like that was a pretty great trip.
Thanks Net!
Here are a couple more I got done since then of the trip - a few more I still have to make - Winter is a great time to start compiling the vids - hard to do them when the weather is good and trails to be ridden

New to this so your feedback is more than welcome, I encourage it!
Got a Cable Cam Rig that I am finishing off (how to is coming) and a high speed camera which should improve footage massively, however here a recent edit. (plenty more on YouTube)
Hey there, that looks like a fun trail! What camera are you using? Are there different view angles on this thing? If so, set it to wide angle like 170 degrees. It looks like it was shot in 120, and that's just not wide enough to take in everything you want to show. The shakiness is also less perceptive the wider you go. If you can't, aim the cam upwards even more. It's better to see the trail to the horizon and not the bike than the other way around. My other advice would be to balance your color curves if you can. A lot of the video looks under saturated. Desaturation is great for raw footage, but you want to balance it out in post production.
It's a pentax wg-1. Not really designed for this sort of thing but it could do worse. When the new cameras arrives I'll do another run of the same trail for comparison, but it should be a lot better (adjustable angle, fps, newer sensor).
Didn't think about the colors or changing the view to show more of the trail, thanks for pointing it out.

Nice. I liked the seat post view.. different angels always spice it up but i wonder if there's a way to crop your legs out?? looking forward to the cable cam rig!!
Got a bronson aluxx frame with kashima shock on a really good price and here is some VVP action.
