To make it look faster.. I just go faster.. then I also have bonus crash footage 😂. Jokes aside, some great set up tips there, love it 😎👍

From experience id say Framerate is my personal favorite of increasing sense of speed. Everything in 60fps looks so smooth and clean. 24-30 fps is impressively chaotic.

beginner mtb gopro users checklist: - 720p ✅ - right side up gopro facing the ground ✅ - 60 fps ✅ - basic hardtail ✅ - crappy audio ✅ - absolute raw footage ✅

I really gotta admit: I've been watching MTB content on KZread for the past 6-7 years. I've seen most Channels change for the worse - being that click bait thumbnail / controversial Video Title what so ever. But I always find myself enjoying your content no matter what. Keep up the good work Ryan!

Dude, so I’ve got to give you props. I’m not a huge “mess around with settings” type dude, but my footage always looks so slow so I gave your tips in this vid a whirl and hot damn, it made it so much better. Like way way better. Just wanted to say thanks for helping my slow ass look even alittle quick. You’re the man amigo.

Hey that's great! Glad it helped and thanks for letting me know.

Thanks for the tips Ryan!!

Former 360 cam user here.... Was using the Insta360 One RS. I too reframed my footage and zoomed out a little more in post, really like how there were no warped edges but I didn't like the stretched, spaghetti look it was giving to my arms which you can kind of see in your video. I've seen other videos where it's much worse. But I'm back to using a single lens camera. As for ND filters, I think it's worth mentioning ND filters can interfere with image stabilization on some cameras, which is why I really like your tip on shooting later in the day to get more blur as using ND filters always added less image stabilization to may footage. Going to try that next.

Great list! Thanks for the info

Thanks for sharing, it's really helpful! Happy riding in the new season!

Awesome tips - thanks Ryan!

I've been living by these settings. Earned fan right here.

Great information! Thanks!

This. Was.Sick🙌🏻also super pumped to try out the wind mufflers on my x3 I just got🙏🏻thank you for all of this

Good tips! I never saw those insta360 wind mufflers before, ordering them now!

Great advice

Thank u for this! Literly going on a ski tripp tomorow and I am a beginer videographer

Perfect dude! Thanks

As always, good, informative video!

Well presented, straightforward advice. Nice

You've been my greatest inspiration for video setting for many years now...but 60FPS all day ;)

Awesome video! I’ll try the 1/100 shutter and auto iso for now! I have ND but extra steps are hard in the moment.

I’m going to have to try that out next ride!! Sweet!

Nice video! Thanks.

Your videos have had me get the best footage possible out of my action camera! thx a lot!

Great tips! That gully trail is local to me. But Isiah is crazy fast too. :D

Just bought an insta 360 x2 so perfect timing for me! Thanks for this - exactly what I need as I go down the rabbit hole😂

Awesome tips! I cant wait to see what program you edit your Insta 360 footie. Using the phone is so hard!

Pretty cool tech for a bumbler

First off, 24f for LIFE! Hahahahaha, I'm with you on the frame rate. I remember when I first realized that. I was like why in the heck is anyone saying to film in anything else? Second, those mic covers are awesome. I'm gonna have to pic some of those up.

I’m thinking of moving to the ace pro. I have the hero 11 and struggle with stabilisation when using ND filters in low light! Great video again! Keep them coming 😎🤟🏼

Love the great info! Just starting out with a new Ace Pro and this was just what I was looking for! Thank you! What would you recommend for mic mufflers on the Ace Pro? I wonder if those X3 muffs that you have would work?

Would love to see this specific topic and recommended settings for current GP cameras...

Superb video

This is perhaps the most useful video I have seen for us the one who are struggling to make a nice MTB shot. Thank you so much.

Great video, loads of info, subscribed to the channel. I was curious what were those noise canceling Velcro bits you stick over the top of your mics. I like the idea to be able to take them off when not needed and attach them back when you do. Got a link to them please?

Looks like a good ride. Flying that second time down Tornado 🔥Interested to see what happens to the RH table line.

Thats great

This was really helpful! Thanks a lot! I saw you are using an insta 360x3 as well. What are your go to settings for filming warp speed pov? + What are your export settings? Looking forward to you answer! Thanks Buddy 🙏

Great video! Q: How do you make your off-the-bike audio sound so good? I use a wireless DJI mic and lav but your audio always sounds so good.

Awesome vid Ryan. I personally like a rode lav mic mounted to a media mod equipped GoPro 11 pro tuned running at 5.3k and 24fps. Hyperview on a lower but optimal chest mount. Where it gets weird though is when you go around corners hour when you see the trees bend in the peripheral that’s kind of annoying.

I was a bit harsh on a video I called click bait yesterday, but I also want to say this type of video right here is absolute great quality content. Good value information, great presentation, interesting editing! I love video's like this. If you have tips on high quality chest harnasses I'm very interested to hear. I'm using gopro's and find that the chest mount I have still bounces more than I'd like.

Ryan what are you using for a wind muff on your ACE Pro? Seem like the flip screen could be an issue. And how do you keep the stab working with the ND'S? Thanks Man!

You rock

I'm not filming myself but thanks about the explaining that was really interesting, especially the part about blur and framerate relationship I've noticed it but couldn't put my finger on what it was 😁🤘

This is some great info. Now I won't look like I'm bumbling down the trail

I found that using low iso around 200-300 max with no nd filter is a really good way to get some motion blur.

Another very effective way to add peripheral speed i discovered is to correct the distortion of the footage, usually the very wide FOV of action cam (not 360) distorts very heavily the images making things near the centre of the image to appear bigger: this makes the things ur passing by "move" less in the frame. Distortion corrected footage makes u feel like u are traveling more space in the same amount of time compared to non-corrected ones. Hope this can help!

I ride that gully trail all the time! So weird seeing it on such a big channel. Never thought my local trails would be note worthy

Now I gotta go out there and test all this! Thank you dude for forcing me to do even more MTB...

Thanks for the tips ill try it out, regarding FPS - dont the action cameras use fps for stabilisation?

Awesome vid and tips dude! Only problem is nd filters (or just a slower shutter speed in general) will reduce the effectiveness of image stabilisation so this only really works on gimbal stabilised footage which you showed some awesome examples of throughout the video I think and demonstrated why it can be a problem without a gimbal in the last gulley shot where everything was a bit shaky. It's a tricky balancing act when trying to introduce motion blur to electronically stabilised footage. Regardless, top video dude and keep sharing your wealth of knowledge! love your stuff!

Completely agreed. If you’re on a smooth trail fine but on chunky stuff it gets super shaky and also induces ghosting (it tries to line up two frames with motion blur in different directions) Isaiah absolutely rips but the footage looks pretty shaky, might just be me. I think they would be better off doing the motion blur in post

Too bad there aren’t good action cam gimbals out there. I was thinking about using pocket 3 to film my rides but it is so fragile

As a bumbler on easy trails I just need to try and go faster first 😂 I usually just switch between 24fps with auto settings or an nd filter with manual settings. Depending on the weather and light that day or whatever.. helpful video, cheers bro.

Insta360 X3, wind muffs kit + stereo mode, and 36 or 25 fps. You're welcome. 🔥 I use the bike kit handlebar mount flipped upside down mounted as far outward as possible on my bar. Allows me to catch the backside of a jump or drop when I use driving mode split screen or catch somebody behind me as well to some extent. Yes mounting on top of my helmet would catch all that behind me even much better, but that's a terrible place for a camera.

If you cba to sort out the shutter speed and ND filters you can always just add the motion blur in post to the peripheral of the footage.

Good video

Great tips, they really do work! BTW Isiah is fast no matter what the video settings are...

Got any tips on getting better audio from the Insta 360? I've tried sticking all sorts of stuff over the mics to getting better audio and none of them seem to work. Have tried velcro, foam, fuzzy fur and various combos of the former. Ta.

Damn! Loam Ranger helping us bumblers make better videos like the pros! I love it. Does anyone have a link for some Velco Mic fluffies for my Insta360 One RS? I love different camera angles. I use a Telesin necklace mount, sometimes under handlebar near the fork mount, and I have also zap strapped the 360 cam like 2 feet out on my handle bar, reframe to look at myself, and it looks like a drone is flying next to me. Great for beginner jump lines!

Pretty cool ideas if you are seriously into video production or you want to exert the effort make that top notch production at level 3. The typical MTB rider that wants to record the ride is going to find it hard to continuously change settings, stopping before or on a ride interrupts the flow & can piss of a group ride. The Best all round & general solution at this point is probably using a good 360 degree camera which has ND (motion blur) functionality in the editing software (like the Insta360 suite), stay at Level 2 with everything included without having to futz around at level 3. Stress less, ride more. Stay safe!

What is that chin camera mount seen at 3:11? My Smith helmet has a similar large air intake just there, and I don't want to block it with one of the common mounting pads.

Thank you, I'll give it a shot ;o)

Great video! Some of those fall riding shots looked like they were up in Prince George, BC??

You got it! Good eye.

OK, first, amazing presentation of essential concepts. But, I have a question. Every single time I have put an ND on my GoPro and manually set the shutter speed, and set the ISO to auto, I get weird jitters in the video. I assume the GoPro's stabilization doesn't work correctly at 1/60th for example. Any suggestions?

How do you prevent the chest mounted Insta360 from wobbling around? I always get really shaky footage on drops/jump landings/chunky trails which are usually the most interesting parts.

What version of GoPro are you using? I tried this several years ago on a Hero 7 Black, with the low shutter and ND filter the image stabilization was non-existent.

But if you're filming with the x3, are you using ND filters or the artificial motion blur in the app?

All good and well untill we reached the shutter speed step. GoPro in particular depends on crist frames to stabilize the footage, if you introduce a lot of natural motion blur, then the stabilization starts going straigt in the trash bin... Going with a 3rd party stabilized like ReelSteady can help mitigate that but to a point. How do you make sure you get useable footage with slower shutter speeds then without using a gimbal?

@TheLoamRanger

3 ай бұрын

There's a balance to it. Isaiah nailed it with his footage, I think. A slow enough shutter to induce plenty of blur, but not so slow to fully disable his digital stabilization.

Does this also work with a GoPro?

how do you not have the x3 look super shaky with the stabilization at lower shutter speeds? im using the chest mount and it looks terrible as low shutters.

That’s a cool clip you used there 😅

Some slow guy following another slow guy

If you use an nd filter i heard that the camera stabilization wont work correctly. Correct me if im wrong

Just for anyone lurking in the comments the insta 360 now allows you to adjust the side blur and increase the sense of speed. If you have a Gopro don't even bother with this stuff the fov and the software dont even come close to what an insta can achieve. Just sitting down vs standing up using a chest mount with a Gopro is enough to ruin the shot.

I've set my color to "flat" and I keep getting vibrant colors on the GP Hero 11. any tips?

The only downside with mounting a camera (insta360 x2/3 for example) is that they could hit your stem and smash the camera lens (don't ask me how I know)

Seems like in camera motion stabilization can't hand the vibration now and therefore it is even more important to have the camera on the chest or the head allowing the body to take the shock. In fact I am not sure at this point that motion stabilization will work at all here.

Hold up, how did you extend your mic a little bit on the 360? 6:00

@TheLoamRanger

3 ай бұрын

The little black pieces on the sides? Those are just the velcro bits that hold the foam mic covers on. If you're talking about the metal piece on the bottom of the camera, that's a quick release mount.

A big factor to that last clip looking fast is camera shake, I think the stabilisation was struggling because of low light levels. Once I upgraded to a modern GoPro my footage was wider but looked heaps slower because of the insane stabilisation

Anyone know what chest mount that is? Doesn't look like one of the GoPro ones.

You may also want to look into ND filters! Makes it possible to step up exposure time real high even in bright sunlight.

I do! If it's mounted low enough on the riders chest, it can catch a decent amount of the peripheral scene. They sell ND filters for it too, which is great.

But then what about camera shake... The camera bounces on the chest mount and the whole image has motion blur, with lower shutter speed /frame rate (cos shutter speed can't be lower than that obviously) and also u get super grainy footage with the higher iso.

Have you ever thought about doing a starter course on action camera filming and editing? I personally would love to throw some money at you for that.

On the way!

High frame rates don't need to mean low motion blur. Motion blur and high frame rates are possible, video games do it all the time. It's just hard to do with regular cameras. I'd argue that the same makes sense for action camera footage that is electronically stabilized. Slow shutter speeds and electronic stabilization look bad in my opinion, adding the motion blur in post isn't ideal but in my opinion still better than the nauseating mess that is electronic stabilization. If you have good contacts at insta360, you could even try to convince them to do it in camera, I'm pretty sure they calculate the optical flow necessary for it for stabilization anyways. :)

Just go fast as fuck😂
