It looks like you’re manualling the whole trail

Chin mount 360 looks a lot better but you do have this weird thing sticking off your chin then lol

99.9% of mtb pov footage is lame regardless of what camera its shot on, but thats extra bad.

I don’t overly get recording rides as a recreational rider. Unless you’re just trying to keep the memory or something. I want to see a trail. I’ll watch a pro rider on YouTube instead of weekend warriors like myself. Lots of people try to flex and post videos hoping for good feedback when really they are average (or worse) riders at best and it’s just not impressive. The mega fish eye even some pro videos is also super annoying. They try to make things look way more extreme than they are. You see those Instagram reels with all these comments about oh my God that’s so crazy, and it’s not really crazy. It’s just the fish eye.
I’m mainly annoyed by the over-stabilized video. The bike moves about quite alot, yet the camera looks like it’s on rails. A bit of stabilization is great, but when it is overdone the feeling of speed and general gnarlyness goes out the window.
Some riders have a 360 cam attached to a stick or something mounted to the helmet and sometimes change the angle so it shows them from the front. I don’t understand why, no one wants to watch the rider’s helmet-wearing face riding down a trail. Whenever this happens, I immediately think the rider is an absolute moron and full of himself.

No for me dog.
As someone who appreciates photography and cinematography I think it looks like trash
Feel like this is your wiener’s POV
It wouldn’t be so bad if the bike was removed from the frame.
For this POV, I prefer viagra and a gopro.
Looks like we’re riding your crotch and most of the time I can’t see the trail well because the bike is blocking the view.
That would be a good lair for a bear
For some reason it looks like you’re manualing most of the trail
That angle is weird, looks like you are manualling it everywhere
I think they work well when used properly but this one is not positioned well at all.
If you set the angle correctly they’re superb and give a great ride feel.
I use them on my channel and it really gives a great feel

It’s … not great
It’s an interesting perspective but not my favorite. My gold standard of POV mountain bike footage is [Spencer Astra](https://youtube.com/@spencerastrapov?si=Ye-dftrsstMkF0zX) on Youtube
