This past week I made a long overdue appearance at Steve’s Wednesday Stoke ride in Alpine. The weather was great which made the climb up to the top go pretty well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"ATT-06FEB13-10\"<\/p>\n

I was playing with both my Digital SLR camera as well my GoPro Hero 3 today.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This was the second outing with thing so I doing quite a bit of tinkering with mountings and camera setup.<\/p>\n

\"ATT-06FEB13-SS-1\"<\/p>\n

One of the angles I really like was using the roll bar mount near the bottom of the downtube to view the front tire action.\u00a0\u00a0 One downside to the roll bar mount was I needed use one of the extender arms on the mount to get the angle right.\u00a0\u00a0 No matter how hard I tightened the the knob for teh extender arm.\u00a0\u00a0 It would still sag down after some hard compressions like a landing or bigger chunk.\u00a0\u00a0 I will have figure out some kind of secondary support strap or something to use this angle much.<\/p>\n

My Canon 7D DSLR can also shoot HD video so I played around with shooting video with it.\u00a0\u00a0 It will be interesting to show how the whole video editing workflow is going to pan out with multiple formats and frame rates going into a single project.<\/p>\n

I also used the seat post\/handlebar mount for a rear facing shot. I did not use an extender arm for this mount as the angle looked good.<\/p>\n

The “good” angle was based on the seat post being up.\u00a0\u00a0 Once I started going downhill and play in the chunk I lowered the seatpost and found that I was unable to get the camera angled up enough for my liking with too much of tire being in the frame and not enough view behind to keep from chopping off the head of a rider behind me.<\/p>\n

For the main run back down the trail I had the side mount for the helmet on.\u00a0\u00a0 The trail conditions were pretty freaking awesome that begged you to stay off the brakes.<\/p>\n
