How and where was the camera mounted Dave ?

Simplest is a handlebar mount.

Would be hard to guess from the vid as both sides (front and back) of the handlebars can be dialled up... Must be magic!

Don’t be silly.

It’s on a drone programmed to fly at a constant 18” in front of his helmet at all times, obviously.

We've come a long way from a shoebox with a bit of greaseproof over one end!

Where ever it mounted , the results were pretty cool .... the picture stabilization worked really well plus good sound which is usually where vids fall down , but not Dave’s little camera , got to like his results , especially when watching stuff and wasting time is the norm recently , bikes are ready almost, just verboten until???? .... really appreciate the new tech , I just very , very behind , but enjoy watching

I’ve got some other mounting options I’m going to try too. Just need some Amazon orders to show up.

The camera appears to be mounted off vertical, is that OK because the internal software makes an allowance for it?

Great, thanks - it's really frustrating not to be able to go to the usual haunts in the fine weather we've just had, nice to see some different scenery!

I'm alternating shopping with the car & the bikes to maximise usage & maintain sanity...

Remember that it's 360˚ so there is no "wrong angle".

In fact the GoPro has horizon leveling so it looks at the horizon to determine the angle.

This kind of shows the concept, the grey area near the camera is "invisible" to the camera, which is why the stick may seem to be missing in some videos. Or in my video why the tach is cut off. I need to move the camera out far enough so that everything on the bike is out of the grey area and then it will look like the camera is floating.
