Thanks for voting everybody!! 24 hours later and it seems to be a dead tie between handlebar and chest, so i'll probably be using both. I'll be sticking with handlebar cam for priority races and chest for others. Oh, and I'll point the chest cam up a little bit, THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTIONS!

@nycgmr 3 жыл бұрын

Really great video! Thanks. The chest mount is a good view, your verbiage and discussion of the race is a great tutorial. Thanks for sharing. 👊🏻👍🏻💪🏻stay healthy stay strong.

Yeah, helmet cams are nice because they get above everybody, but there is just too much movement as people look up, down and all around.

@ruffrydazz2032 3 жыл бұрын

Chest cam is the best because it lets us, the viewer, know what you're doing. We know if you're seated, out of the saddle sprinting, going easy, hard, etc. It just provides more information to us which I think is a key component of these videos. Additionally, it's more aesthetically pleasing because your body/cockpit gives a frame of reference.

TraumaER it’s a Specialized Venge so the ones they’re on are probably ranging from $6,000-12,000USD. Though with it being such a well-known and well ranking team, I’m sure they didn’t have to pay anywhere near that price. Their sponsors and such covered majority of it most likely.

The handlebarcam really makes you see how close you get to other riders, the chestmount shows action but just doesn't make as much action as the handlebarcam. The headmount is just to high up. Btw great video👍

@jshepard5840 3 жыл бұрын

My vote is for the helmet cam. It offers the best view of what's going on in front of you. Although it is nice to have different angles from different riders, so maybe one chest, one helmet, and if there's a 3rd, that could be handlebars. Also, I really like the rear view cam. The split screen front/rear makes for a very real experience. Thanks for another great video and stay safe out there!

You need a chest, helmet, and handlebar cam (plus one behind your saddle) so you can switch between angles. You'll probably have to double your training to account for all that drag and weight though...

Chest: Good to see how you handle your bike and for the immersive experience. Bad obstruction of the view by your lovely biceps. Helmet: Good clear view of all the race dynamics and surroundings aswell as perspective of seeing where you are looking and very stable footage.

Nice win! Helmet mounted cameras look really goofy, and although I suspect the aerodynamic difference to be nominal, I always cringe when thinking the rider is hampering his or her ability to win a race. That said, they provide a great perspective for the viewer. p.s. What happens when a driver whose car is parked on the right side of the road wants to leave? I can't imagine many drivers understanding how fast a peloton is moving and could easily mess things up. Do the riders just slow down and let the car enter the course, or do you go full gas to remain in front?
