I did some testing with my GoPro I got as a gift. I sampled the vid down for Youtube so it's not as crisp as it is native. It sure doesn't seem like I'm going very fast in the vid...but it felt pretty fast on the bike!

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

Yeah, that looks fast to me. No way I'm doing that! Too old! Good for you!

My thoughts to, 30 years ago would have loved to have road that track. These day, I like to stand on the sidelines and watch. Stay safe, and Ride On. Have fun.
BTW, youtube video stabilization really sucks. I let them do it one my 4k videos and and they rendered it back to 1080p and looked terrible.

Lol, all I could think of was that is a heck of a lot faster than I would go anymore and it would have sucked to go off the side on part of that trail.
The Session stabilization looks very good. The sound is pretty good too.
What is your take on the representation of the terrain? I have a Hero 4 and sometimes when I get back from a ride and want to review a gnarly hill climb or rock garden crawl or whatever, the video doesn't do it justice.

These cameras never do the terrain justice. With the stabilization off...it does show a bit more of the choppy nature of the terrain, with it on...it looks like you're riding on smooth pavement and people can't see the sheer "violence" that's happening to your body on these trails. Not to mention your head is like a natural gyro anyway and is moving less than the bike and your body. As you mentioned...the cameras don't show elevation changes very well. You can see me slowing down in the vid...that's because of some steep downhills that don't show very well in the footage. Same with hill climbs...they look like mild bunny slopes on camera.

I realize that if I have the front tire wash out at some of those speeds...I will be paying my $6500 yearly medical deductible in one visit...lol
