Using DJI Wireless Mic 2 on stunning West Yorkshire loop #mtb #dji #ragley
Using DJI Wireless Mic 2 on stunning West Yorkshire loop. My first time using the DJI Wireless Mic 2, this is no review, but is certainly a good baseline for me to learn from. I had one mic on myself, and one on Marc.
Marc was kind enough to send over his fottage I needed, and I have added the DJI mics audio over the top of it.
There are clips with the GoPro audio, but it was set to front mic only so is not a like for like comparison! Anyway with a few more tweaks I think it will be great, especially over the insta 360 x3 footage.
I pulled this local loop together, and took Marc off for an explore, loop is on my ionsta, as is the new improved second loop,. just finish on the Packhorse Trail from the first loop instead.
@HallMarc_Trails has two videos from this day linked below, and also @Stopadoodledoo has a video of the second loop, all linked below.

When is my ebike a better choice for riding? As you may, or may not know, I also have a Ragley Blue Pig hardtail. This not only gives me a back up should one of the bikes fail, but also gives me an option of which bike to take for certain rides. I try and look at why the ebike works well for me in this video on this type of ride. I get there will be those that only ever use an ebike for every r...

You need more speed mate. Hardtails need speed
They sure do, still loving the bike now 😁
This route looks just up my street. Good test with the mic’s. What’s the editing process like with 2 audio tracks
You'll have to pop over mate, happy to show you around, Jonathan is keen as well tbh 👍🏻 Need to change them from mono, to stereo in the bin first, left as mono and only found out after I uploaded it 😭 I made sure before recording on them I clapped and said what we were doing, easy then to sync up with the GoPro footage as a consistent line to match up with on all three audios then 👍🏻
Crystal clear on the mic. Having said that the GoPro 12 is much better than my 7 fir sound. Let's also hear it for the local trail ....sweet.
@@MTB_Derbyshire cheers mate, yeh the GoPro would have sounded loads better as well if I had the rear mic turned on. Loving the local trail, hopefully take you around it one day?
Great idea using the 2 mics, works well that 👍🏻
Cheers mate, yeh loving how they sound so far 😁
I absolutely love the audio from the DJI microphone, this is a fantastic video mate, I can only imagine how much effort went into putting all that together, the packhorse descent in particular was superbly edited, and as you know, i loved that descent 😄 great idea with the dual mics, looking forward to future videos with this setup, you will get some absolute bangers for sure 👍🏻
Cheers mate, yeh that final descent was a monster to edit, but thankfully learnt how to get quicker with it after that 🤣 Certainly made a few editing mistakes along the way! Was a great day again, and now have a great new loop for some fitness 😁 Finishing at the pub 🤣
Great video mate, not only for the comparison of GoPro to wireless lav mic, but also for the riding, clips and everything else. Really does highlight the improved audio, and love the use of two mics to record the conversation 👍
Cheers mate, I think the conversations with it are great also 😊 Gives it another depth, after hearing yours it made me think about one. Love them so far 😁 Spain should be good with these, one on Tony 🤣
@@ElectricMountainBiker Funnily enough, I thought about attaching one to Tony as I watched this 😂
@@Stopadoodledoo could be comedy gold 🥇🤣
Looks like mallards? New bike too?
Sure was, and I wish, was just able to have a play on this one, great bike as well though 😊
Had to check out more of your videos. Looked like a beautiful day to take your bike for a walk hahaha. Seriously that off camber steep section in the beginning looked ridiculous.
🤣🤣 such a sketchy day, Jason and I were chatting about this ride whilst we were out yesterday, still one the most fun days we had on the HTs 😁 Crazy stuff in the woods though for sure 👀
Had a Kona process 111. Just felt like it really wasn’t for me. Bikes from the UK intrigued me and being across the pond, are not ones you see. When I saw an Orange P7 RS in my size I had to take the leap. Steel frame. 27.5. 140 Pike. Hope hub. Getting Hayes dominion brakes at the moment. Having a blast.
Mate, the P7 is such a nice bike, nice one for getting it! Jason has one @stopadoodledoo really great bikes! Similar to the blue pig I would say after riding his. Hayes so far have been great for me 👍🏻
@@ElectricMountainBiker I definitely would have kicked myself if I passed on it. Can't wait to try out the Hayes.
@19brs73 fully agree, you really would have been gutted if you didn't get it, you'll love the brakes for sure 👍🏻 Just don't do what I did and put mineral oil in them 🙈🙈 Hayes though in fairness, and very quickly. Sent me out a brand new set for free! Epic customer service, had to send mine back, and then boom now brakes now back on.
Love the video! I have a steel road bike but looking to get into mountain biking as I’m sick of cars! What would you describe this type of trail as? I think XC bikes look cool but this trail looks pretty tough for one of those, something with fatter tyres must be better if you have no rear suspension is my guess, thanks
If I did this trail again, I would be on a full suss for sure, probably my ebike as well 🙈 Brutal on the HT, it can handle it, but my body couldn't over that distance. Have to add, glad I did do it on the HT, crazy really but chuffed at the same time on reflection. HT also really helps me appreciate a full suss ebike when I do ride it. Enduro bike is ideal for this riding, I just haven't got one yet.
GOT A 31 YEAR OLD CANNONDALE SM 800 BEAST OF THE EAST. STILL HOLDS IT'S OWN AGAINST NEW BIKE'S. PHONOMINAL BUILD AND DANGEROUSLY QUICK. GREAT VIDEO AMIGO.ONELOVE, MANCHESTER, UK ✌️
Love that! They really are great all round bikes aren't they 😊 Wish I was quick on mine though 🤣
Any chance i can get this route ?
Sure, it will be on my Strava account 👍🏻
A fs is a whole lot easier to ride. However, I have a Stanton hardtail and that bike is so precise in the turns. The precision is itself very satisfying. It's not a big deal for me either way.
When you have the choice even better 😁 I would like to get a full sus non ebike as well tbh now. HT helped me see I have the fitness for it now which is a great feeling 😊
It requires you to actually ride well and do the work down and up.
Does it ever, the HT had taught me loads since riding it, and line choice 😊
Love the scenery even though it's wet! I am trying to buy a ragley hardtail and I can't find anywhere that sells them! "Help please"
Standard this year for us it seems and how wet it has been 😭 Since they went bust along with crc you need to turn to the second hand market which is great now, as going do cheap! Join the Ragley Facebook group as always see them for sale on there, that might be a way to find one? There were also unreleased 2024 frames knocking about on eBay at one point 👍🏻
ich weiß nicht was mehr nervt, deine unfähigkeit oder dein gejammer. untalentiert und ein angstbremser - lass mal deinen hormonhaushalt untersuchen, da ist zu viel östrogen vorhanden🤮
I‘ve been riding my HT for 8y now. I got it because I wanted to go back to mountainbiking but couldn‘t afford a FS with good components. For my riding style it‘s perfect and if sometimes I feel like something is too technical… well i just walk😂 Just upgraded it this year. But one day i think i‘ll get a titanium HT.
I looked at a ti hardtail, specifically the Ribble one, but couldn't justify the price for the components it came with unfortunately. They look amazing though don't they! Haha I know the feeling well of walking something, like you say it is all about getting out on it 😁 Thanks for the great comment 👍🏻
Nice video mate. There's some awesome views on that ride!
Thanks mate 😁 I really am very lucky where I live 😁
Greetings! I've gone through the whole XC hardtail, XC dual sus, Trail & finally Enduro bike (Currently on a Giant Reign 29) - But I recently found a deal on a Nukeproof Scout V3, and I'm super stoked to build it and ride it. This video has got me even more stoked! GET IN!!
Greetings to you as well my friend! Sounds like a you got yourself a great deal, a mate had the nukeproof scout and it's a great bike, had a go on it and loved it 😁 Thanks for the great comments and taking the time to write it 😁👍🏻
I was a BMX teenager in the 2000s. Now at 32 I just got my first MTB bike after not touching bikes since those early days, hardtail Cannondale HT2. Have no frame of reference besides the entirely stiff BMX bikes but the price was right for me lol
I'm the same as yourself, never had anything to reference it against as totally new to me. Gutted I never got into MTB earlier, but so happy I finally did, love my hardtail. Thanks for the great comment, and taking the time to write it 😁
Some great views up there mate, lovely stuff! Lorna still beasting the climbs I see! 😂
Does she ever, and now she is in France cycling even bigger miles, and hills 👀 Zero chance when she comes back lol
@@ElectricMountainBiker 🤣🤣🤣
That’ s some fantastic scenery for a leg burner! Very jealous! Thanks for the vid!
I'm really lucky where I live for sure with the views 😁 Climbs are not so great though 🙈😂
Nice video mate, something really enjoyable about just getting out for a spin, especially on a lovely evening
Gutted we have had so few nice evenings 😞
Great video mate, lovely area for an after work ride, lucky to have on your doorstep, also great for keeping that fitness up for the longer weekend rides, the ragley is a true all rounder 👍🏻
Cheers mate, yeh great area to have in the doorstep for sure and really helps come down after work 😊 As is the Crush mate 👍🏻
Can't beat a good lakes ride 👍
I hear that 😁😁
What an epic ride mate - glad you got over the melt down. I'm sure there were plenty of colourful metaphors flying around🙊🙉Good to see a video from you again👍. I'm pretty sure Jason sent me on some those trails when I was on my way to Scotland from yours. It is a truly beautiful part of the country!
Oh there was a part where my language turned blue 🙈🤣 Yeh this really was a great day! You would enjoy these trails for sure, just a shame so far away 😥 Jason has a few more for us to try, maybe you're over you will be with us 😁
Top job Mate 👍
Cheers mate 😁
Great vid Christian! Seen that first descent a few times and it always looks ace, need to get that ticked off at some point. Surprising how much the lakes takes it out of you ey..found that out doing Helvellyn a few weeks ago. The rear cam footage actually does show how steep things are, good feature that pal.
Cheers mate, really was a day for everything 🤣Lakes is always a tough one on the HT, Helvellyn was tough enough on my full sus, no chance I'll be doing that on the HT 👀🤣 Yeh, liking the extra angle of the insta as well, really does give a sense of the steepness on reverse cam 👍🏻👍🏻
Great watch mate. Think we all had such a great day. It was interesting hearing about you growing up where you did. What a location your family home was!!
Thanks mate, you that really was one hell of a day, had a bit of everything, including my backside falling out 🤣 Never knew what I had right on my doorstep back then, wish I did but was usually in Ambleside chatting up the Charlotte mason students 🙈🤣
What a tour Christian, that landscape was really beautiful and the place where you grew up looked like a dream🤩. I would have felt the same way, so many climbs on a normal bike, the energy dwindles and you get grumpy, I know that😂. Thanks for sharing and have a fantastic day🙌
Haha tell me about it, those climbs were brutal, that first one was a monster 😭😭 Really was a great day, and wow I miss living there for sure 🤩 Thanks for the comment, have a great day/week 😎
@@ElectricMountainBiker Thanks buddy🙏, you too🙌✌️
Nice vid bud! Some stunning views, deffo need to do some of this kind of ride rather than trail centres !!😍
You're not wrong mate, you need to head up north for some of these I reckon 👍🏻👍🏻
@ElectricMountainBiker is definitely on the cards bud, need a change from what I've been riding fancy bit of adventure stuff with some senary!!
Plenty to go at as well, Peak District, Wales, Lakes, we really are lucky 👍🏻
Just such a great video that captures so many aspects of what makes mountain biking tough but ultimately so rewarding. Love the personal element to this as well....taking a trip down memory lane. 👍
Cheers mate, great comment. Always has a special place in my heart Rydal and the surrounding area. Really was a tough day, but totally worth it now I can look back at it 🤣
Really enjoyed that! Cracking edit, and cracking trails! I bet you felt it for a couple of days! Well done all!
Did I ever mate 🤣 I could hardly walk 🙈 Cheers for the great comment as well, it was a really good day!
What a great alternative perspective of an awesome day, loved that one, picking up on the day in general, the heat, the chat, laughs etc, the rear view shots were excellent too, showed the steepness, definitely one of the toughest rides of the year, ace video mate 👍
Thanks mate!! What a day it was! Loved it, and despised it at certain points as well 🤣🤣 Love all the chats, and laughs we have, moods included! They are what really makes the day for us all, getting away from all the rubbish of life, switching off, and being kids again 😁😁 All three videos compliment each other well 👍🏻👍🏻
@@ElectricMountainBiker absolutely mate, love these rides 😄👍🏻
Agree about the insta360 giving a better perspective of steepness as well, really added to it I thought 👍🏻
Absolutely love this one mate, your best video yet and not saying that just because I was there and feature (usually laughing and poking fun 😂). You captured the day so well, not even (or just) the riding but the laughs, the chatter, the sweltering heat and resultant exhaustion, the ten thousand rests stops, everything. This is what a video of a ride should be like because whilst the riding and trails (and damn are they fantastic) is obviously a huge element, it's not what makes them memorable 👍 10/10
Cheers mate, was strange really as didn't expect to get a video from it with how exhausted I was. Think some sunstroke came into play as was pretty ill the next day 🤮🤣 What a great day though, love all the nattering, general waffle and poking fun 🤣 between us all, and of course those descents! Made me laugh, and wince at the same time when I was watching the footage back 🙈 Cheers for being a great guide for us as well, glad I got the last descent in, even if I wanted to curl up and go to sleep on the climb up 🤣 Might have to agree, this is up there in my top three videos for sure!
@@ElectricMountainBiker you better believe it 😄👍🏻
😂@@HallMarc_Trails
Bloody love my hardtail. Riding FS I always felt like I needed to upgrade to get the latest and greatest, but not with the HT. 5 years on this bike and I’m still not thinking about upgrading
Fully get this, if I had to have only one bike it would certainly be the hardtail. Easy to maintain, loads of smiles, and let's be honest they look awesome as well 🤩
Just came across this video and I’m currently building a ragley mmmbop to go with my giant trance e+2. Looking forward to finishing it and getting out on it.
Nice, I wanted the mmmbop originally but couldn't get hold of one, then realised the pig is its steel twin so decided on that, as I could get one 😁 You're in for a world of fun on the mmmbop 🤩
I wanted a steel frame ideally tbh but I payed £125 for an almost new copper mmmbop that was within driving distance. Having looked at reviews the ally mmmbop seems to have a decent amount of forgiveness in it which is hopefully true.
That is a steel!!! £125, bet you couldn't believe your luck 🤞🏻
@@ElectricMountainBiker yeh been doing a cheapish build on it since.
I know I’m late to the party BUT, I love my HT! Honzo ESD is so smooth and a joy to ride! Every time I get on a full sus bike, I shake my head because it just doesn’t feel right.
Crazy isn't it, how a more simple bike makes every ride feel brilliant 😊 I was late to the HT party as well, this is my first one, and totally love it 😁
try with a 29er
Would love to 😊
Just catching up with this one Mate. Still to go myself but it definitely looks a bike breaker! 👍
Cheers mate, yeh this is some place, make sure it is on your list for 2924 👍🏻👍🏻
The Ragley Blue Pig is a good-looking bike. I love the way the top tube continues through to the seat stays. I purchased one of the last original Transition Trans AM frames and built the bike up myself, including lacing a rim onto Onyx racing classic hub, the feel of instant engagement is amazing
Love Transitions, still miss my Patrol to this day, along with the Pig that Patrol was a great looking bike 👍🏻 I never really understood what people meant when they said they feel a connection to the trail better on a HT, totally do now 😊
Great video. As a Dutchmen I would never consider an e-bike. You convinced me on the hardtail with the hill climb. As a flatcountry most will be technical biking. Full suspension to me feels counter productive and just wasting energy going up and down while really you want to go forward. Probably it’s great for riding down hills but that in NL will take 5 mins at most 😂. Thanks man, great video!
Haha totally agree on no need for an ebike there 🤣 Fully get what you need with the full suspension bike bobbing on climbs as well, even just on flat trails. Really is a waste of kinetic energy, for zero gain. Thanks for the great comment, and hope you're having a good weekend 👍🏻
Great video, well done all.
Cheers 😊 Was a great day for sure 👍🏻
You were flying by the end mate. Shame you didn't get a second bite of the cherry on Race Track - it was my hands down my favourite when I was there!
Cannot wait to give it another go, lower race track will take me a little longer to work through 👀 Loved it 😊
For anyone watching this - he has cleaned it the wrong way around. WD40 to loosen/remove the grease and brake cleaner afterwards to flush the degreaser and leave no residues (as it burns off at atmospheric temps). Adding in grease straight after WD-40 will just dissolve the grease you brushed in.
For anyone reading this Leno is very correct 😊 Also the pinned comment hopefully will pick it up 👍🏻
Aoart from the weird noodle arms at 6:20 🤣 an absolute tour de force of an MTB vlog. Definitely experience the highs and lows on this visit Christian. You know one day i might turn up at dyfi to see if a below average rider (me to clarify) can really hurt themselves 😜 😎.
Great comment mate 🤣 Noodle arms are a thing, I believe it is akin to a black hole effect where spaghettification is the official term for noodle arms 😉🤣 Mate you would love here as well, really hope to see you here, as know you will have your own Tour de Force 🏆
Another crackin vid Christian with some good riding and great banter, shame i left it too late and it were booked up. Looks a great place, give us a shout next time and i'll deffo be there
Gutted you couldn't make it mate, you would have loved it for sure. Potentially another ride I am sorting here on 26th July for my Birthday, will post up once confirmed 👍🏻
Great video, looks like you boys had a right laugh too...Shame about your shock spunking it's pants right at the end mate 😮
Was such a good day, gutted not there now. Yeh gutted about the shock, at least last run of the day, and now I get to upgrade 😁😁
Awesome vid mate! Need to get myself here at some point! 🤙
You really do mate, such an epic place!!
I thought that tree had you then 😅, and i agree lower race track can be scary to us average joes, great video mate 👍
Haha it so nearly did 🙈🤣 Lower Race Track really ramps up all of a sudden doesn't it, really did not have the confidence to attempt those features. But, having seen them now, it always helps me further down the line go for them 👍🏻 maybe 🤣
