I'm surprised it wasn't more. I was expecting more of a bun fight once the car ADIs kicked in. I thought it might stir up more of a hornet's nest ;)

A new camera and the sun is shining,. Time for a new video around the Suffolk countryside. Sometimes we don't get the ride we planned.

First I've heard of these cameras.

Does it record a complete panorama, then you scroll through and frame the section that you want us to see?

Yes it records a full 360 around the camera in all dirrctions and then during the edit process you can pan and zoom the view. Alternatively you can load the raw footage to YouTube and the viewer can then drag the view around realtimr while watching or wear a VR headset and move you head. You can imagine the file sizes a 5.7k resolution can get quite big and youneed some horsepower/time to process.

Have you considered alternative camera positions?

Perhaps use a selfie stick arrangement to lift the camera up high at the back, eg some shots here:

Code used something similar (albeit a frame rather than the camera fixed to a LightOnAStick.

Some more everyday riding footage that IAM/ROSPA associates say they like to see, as much as the topic centric videos. This one's a bit different as it is in 360 format so the viewer can rotate the view to watch what they want. You can pause and rotate also. The 'following drone' view, looking forward over my head, is great to see road position and the amount of head movement required for mirrors, scanning and blind spot checks. For potential One X (or X2) owners, YouTube does not show the full quality of the original footage, even when you select 5k.

My latest video. A collection of clips highlighting learning points and good examples from a recent observed ride. These are mainly from when in town and on dual carriageways as these areas are not as prolific online as videos depicting B roads.

Blimey 1k+ views in a few days. It's normally only the bike reviews that do that. Seems YouTube has been recommending this one quite a bit and the stats are good as 30% of viewers are watching the full thing.
