About

I love cycling, and I love getting pro cycling kit for less. If it’s cheap, from China, and made of carbon fiber, I’m interested! Road cycling can be an expensive hobby, and the barrier to entry for good quality cycling gear can be exceptionally high. My whole ethos is to get pro-level cycling gear on the cheap, and show that you dont have to have to spend extortionate amounts to get some fantastic kit! PLEASE NOTE: I currently run this channel entirely by myself. Any and all correspondence will come from [email protected].

Video Description

I’ll show you the best ways to mount an Insta360 camera to your road bike, and get incredible footage for however and wherever you ride.

It’s an essential piece of equipment for me because I don't have a separate cameraman, so being able to get amazing footage riding by yourself is a game changer. I used to use a GoPro Hero8 on the end of a selfie stick to film my rides, but the quality of the footage often wasn’t great, and the angles that I could use were very limited. So my wife bought me an Insta360 OneX for christmas one year, and it totally changed the way I capture my ride footage. However knowing how and where to mount the camera to the bike can be a challenge, especially when it comes to riding in heavy traffic. The camera needs to be mounted safely and securely, and also not stick out the side of the bike too much. So in this episode, i'll show you the kind of footage I get, show you the mounts I use and how to attach the camera to my road bike, and also give you a brief rundown on the Insta360 X4, and why it’s an absolutely key piece of equipment for me, and what I do for a living!
