Thank you so much for showing all these options. Great video!
Brilliant! Good to see an expert show how its done. Thanks!
I've got RE Himalayan. I used the rack on the front side to hose clamp a monopod to my Insta360 One R. Pretty happy with the result, but have since moved it so positioned facing more upwards than it was in my latest video adventure bike training.
Thanks Dave and I've just purchased the X2 and you have given me some great ideas for filming👍
You’re welcome Neill. I can see myself getting the X2 before long as they’re a lot tougher weather wise compared to mine. Good luck with it. 👍🏍
What a brilliant video, thanks. Enjoying your Ireland tours as well 👍
Fantastic job Dave!
Excellent video. I bought this camera and was looking for ideas on how to mount the camera on my motorcycle and yours are the best ones I've seen! I will probably mount the camera on the bike sideways instead of sitting on the stick though, because I move around too much on the seat when I drag the knee. 😉
What Great Ideas! I just got a onex2 for a trip to the CO Rockies. You just save me a bunch of time .Glad I watched this. Thanks
Amazing to see what you can do with these tools :)
Would love to see a post production work flow video too.
Thank you for the video, really appreciate it. Is not easy to find reviews that weren’t sent a free camera for the review.
I also liked the different mounting options that did not include a bunch of official accessories the user must purchase extra.
A good, honest video. Refreshing that is.
Your very welcome. That’s a lovely message to receive. Thanks 🙏 🏍
So glad I stumbled onto this the night before I am of on a off-road bike trip. Just upgraded from the X to the X2 and could never managed the shots I was looking for on the bike, now I can. (hopefully) Going to the garage now to see what type of clamps I have to take along.
Delighted to help! Good luck with the trip.👍🏍🎥
Thankyou, that explains alot. and the fact you are a pro cameraman, explains why you are so good at this.,
Great info...thank you for sharing!
Loved the content. Personally owning a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and recently in possession of insta 360 twin edition, was completely struggling with the placements. Your video helped me immensely. Rajesh Hattangady, Mumbai - India
Great video, thank you for sharing, Great job explaining how it works. 👍👍👍
Brilliant vid! Love it! Fellow motorcyclist and insta360 oneX user.
Thanks for the compliment. Yeah that little camera really does bring our vlogs alive alright.👍🎥🏍
Thanks for the tutorial. I’m looking at getting the Insta360 RS and all the reviews and footage is on naked bikes. As I have a tiger Explorer I didn’t know how to handle the mounting with the windshield- this is great to see I can still get shots.
Great examples. Thank you!
Your welcome. Thanks for watching.👍
Hi from dubai. Can’t wait to try my new Insta360 with my bike in the desert. Thanks for the ideas. Ride safe
What a beautiful bike. Thank you for uploading such gorgeous footage
And thanks for the gorgeous comment!
Thanks forthis review.gona buy it 🔥🔥🔥
You've officially convinced me to buy one for my bike channel. Can't wait till it arrives! Great video with great tips. Ride safe✌️
Enjoy it! It brings a whole new layer to video production. 👍🎥
thanks Dave really helpful I just bought the go pro 360 and will be using some of these camera positions with my motovlogs big thumbs up and have subbed
Many thanks for the sub and the GoPro 360 is a superb camera. Enjoy!🏍🎥
Really inspiring videos. Thanks a lot. Greetings from O`Sullivan, West coast of Norway
superb content. Thanks for this
this is one of the best setup videos i've seen lately, keep it up!
Thanks! Much appreciated.👍🎥
Brilliant! Thank you!!
Very welcome.
Realy good video and helpful. Thanks sir👍
Great thanks so much for the excellent explanation
Lovely shots of Co. Cavan
Brilliant video thanks
Fabulous video
Can’t wait to purchase one of these cameras look great on my classic bikes
Great stuff
They are amazing cameras.
Superb. Thank you.
Great video
I have marvelled at the quality of your cinematography... appreciate he behind the scenes look at how you get some of those marvelous shots!
Many thanks Paul and pleased you were able to take something from this video. I’m also happy to answer any questions anyone has. Actually the version 2 of this camera was announced yesterday but apart from it being waterproof and having a colour screen there is no difference in camera quality so I won’t be getting one. However there will be lots of the first version cameras appearing on eBay now.👍🏍
Loved the video great tips as I was thinking of buying one of these and you made my mind up.
Cheers Martin. They’re superb cameras.
Very informative video! Thank you for sharing.
And thanks for watching!🙏🎥
While not a vlogger, I always wondered about this. Thanks from Vancouver Island British Columbia, Canada, Dave.
David Kirkland you’re very welcome.👍🎥
i wondered about that , now i know thanks
I was always wondering how those are shots were captured. Thank you for the information
Felicitaciones buen vídeo, yo pongo la cámara insta 360 one R en modo vertical, en la bicicleta montanbike, generando excelentes tomas, lo importante es tener un soporte de manillar que no se suelte con la vibración. saludos.
Jaysus, I miss home!!! Subscribed. I have the Go Pro 7 mounted on my helmet 4 years already but this has definitely persuaded me to get an Insta 360 camera as well. Thanks!
I think the combination of the two cameras is all anyone needs on a bike. The Insta really adds so much to any production.👍🏍🎥
Learned so much. Thank you. 👍
🙏🎥
Wow!!! I never in a million years would have thought about some of those positions, Thank you so much, a very informative video
It’s the Karma Sutra of selfie sticks!🤣🤣👍🏍
excellent content
Really nice
Just amazing 🤩.. I really liked the way you explained the whole thing
Appreciate that buddy. Cheers. 👍🏍🎥
Great suggestions.
Just found your channel and have subscribed.
Please keep up the great content.
Thanks buddy. Much appreciated. 🙏
Thanks
Excellent video and demonstrations of how to "get the shot". Subscribed!
Thanks!🙏
Hello from Japan. Well done vid! I’m looking forward to more.
Hello Johnny in Japan! I spent four months in the Ginza district of Tokyo back in 1996 and loved it! I aim to return one day.....maybe on a motorbike?🏍👍
Nice info.. very informative dan helpful.. thanks..
Nice tutorial Sir. Thank you and ride safe always. From 🇵🇭
You too. Many thanks!🏍
Excellent video. I just ordered a couple of Manfrotto clamps on your advice after seeing this. (Nearly lost my One R when a small rig clamp mount unscrewed itself mid ride.) Thanks for the great advice.
Delighted you found it useful. I’m still using the Manfrotto clamps without incident.👍🏍👌
I have just received a double super clamp after watching this video....gonna try them without the Insta 360 one X2 and just the selfie stick and a heavy ball end in to start with. Put an order for some rubber washers to dampen the vibration and hopefully reduce any risk of them coming loose.....would be great if there was a tightener lock.
Thank you for the ideas. I ordered an insta360 One X2 for my RE INT650 and my Hondas '82 GL500 & '83 GL650 Going to Vlog some motorcycle camping and wanted some ideas about mounting the camera. I also have a helmet mounted Gopro 7 Black.
What software do you use to integrate Gopro and insta360 video?
Thank you sir!
Welcome! 👍🏍
Really great video mate. 👍 Great tips and good to see some insider knowledge in action.
You’re very kind. Many thanks. 👍🏍
@@WheelieGoodTV you're very welcome.
Wow...Cool
They really are super gadgets for this sort of stuff.👍
A super informativ video with lots of Tips and good ideas, Thanks a lot.
Thanks man.👍

thank you for this!!! love to see a "how to edit video" video (?)
The new Insta360 One X2 is surprisingly way improved relative to the older One X. My big issue with the old X is its vibration sensitivity - specifically when mounted to my viby S1000RR - where it would continually crash, not only stopping the current video but permanently corrupting it. The X2 appears to fully address this.
My application and need is different from yours - more focused on the sportbike experience, especially on racetracks. Here is an initial test of the X2 when mounted to the triple-clamp on some local twisties. This test mounts it to a RAM steering column ball mount to a double-socket arm. The only reframing I do is in the opening sequence. I really like the Flowstate Stabilization and the horizon leveling.
The audio, color, etc. are unprocessed.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to use its Bluetooth audio capability. Audio is among the more vexing problems on a motorcycle. Using Bluetooth without wires, stupid adapters, etc. could be awesome.

Hi, I’ve just watched your video and would love to ride that machine! I know what you mean about the audio, it would make the camera complete. I never had any problems with my One X crashing but as you say it could be different vibes on different machines. That’s a great video anyway. Nice one 👍🏍🎥
@@WheelieGoodTV The vibration issue was so terrible on the One X. A high-revving inline-four superbike inherently vibrates. When the camera is mounted to the frame/triple-clamp, the vibration will be efficiently transmitted to the camera.
It would only crash occasionally in the beginning, but then increasingly occur with greater frequency until after a couple of months, it would always crash. Apparently the vibration shakes something loose on the inside so its electrical connection become increasingly tenuous. I sent it in for RMA twice - the first time it acted like new, but eventually also degraded into uselessness. The second time they took three months and then did nothing to the camera.
You use a soft mount - at the end of a long stick - and to your non-conductive body, and so wouldn't expect to have this problem. But the X2 is better in other ways. Little things like support for h.265 to make your videos consume about half the space add up.
I wanted something for the racetrack where most track/racing orgs prohibit adhesive helmet mounts. This works really well.
I just got the Manfrotto Double Superclamp. Both clamps are mounted in 90° Angle with two screws. What else do I need to get a variety of the angle?
Great video love how it lets you video yourself on the bike is it difficult to edit , can I use my GoPro 7 black footage an mix it with the 360 footage in filmora are is it only 1 are the other
I use Final Cut Pro X and it’s no problem to mix as many sources as you want. It’s a superb editing platform.
Nice bit of camera wizardry.
@Finnegan Arthur 7 months later and this is what I get a notification for...
Congratulations on the review! I still have one doubt: since the original files seem to be quite heavy, is there a way to 'shorten' them to discard what we know we are not going to use? Either on camera or on the computer, on a trip you can accumulate a lot and it would be interesting to be able to optimize space, like we do when shorten files on our phones... especially if we plan to edit at the end of the trip when we get home. Thanks for your help!!!
Hi aerial, yes indeed you can. Not in camera but you can choose your in and out points of what you want to save within the free software.
excellent,
i used your link to purchase the camera as your videos helped me decide that i think its worth it
Appreciate that Jezza! The camera is superb! Enjoy.
@@WheelieGoodTV no problems im just struggle to find that solid looking mount you used
whats it actually called so i can search for it?
thankyou

Great video with specifics. Are you still planning on doing a work flow? I would really like to see your camera settings along with any color grading. Thanks
Hi Kirby, yes my plan is to still do that. If I can get a few more people like yourself to tag on to this with more specifics then I’ll cover it all in one video. Thanks 🏍
Nice video , Thank you 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻
Welcome. Thank you. 🙏🏍
@@WheelieGoodTV I ordered my x2 today and it will arrive this week and your video helped a lot 🙏🏻
@@Gringa_V4s Nice one. They are quite incredible devices especially for moto vlogging. The X2 which you’ve bought is also waterproof which would make me upgrade soon I think...especially riding bikes in Ireland.🌧 🏍
@@WheelieGoodTV Nice. Even though it is waterproof I already bought the protective cover that also serves for water to better protect the lenses, which are very sensitive. I believe that I will have an excellent experience with this camera 😊✌🏻 It's my first 360 camera, I always hesitated but now with this x2 I couldn't resist 😅 Here in France it's not easy either, a lot of rain ... well, thanks for the words 😊✌🏻 Always safe 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻
Awesome video, keep it up!
Many thanks Joris.👍🏍
@@WheelieGoodTV do you happen to know where you bought that clamp by the way? It’s a great solution and I’m after one now as well
@@jorisvisser7175 I can’t remember but they are made by Manfrotto. I’m sure if you Google it there’s many online stores. About €50 each I recall.
Good tutorial here. Got a one x2 on order, but delayed due to weather 😡… can’t wait to use it, although I’m in Canada and stuck waiting a few months before I can get the bikes back out.
It’ll be worth the wait. It’s incredible what these cameras can do really. Enjoy! 👍🎥
@@WheelieGoodTV thanks! Your video will certainly be useful for me learning to use it. I’ll check your channel to see if you ended up creating an editing tutorial
Thanks for the great video and info. I, too, hate the curve videos. I am currently debating which camera to get..probably 360....but my end goal is to ride around the country side of Japan and take in the scenery so biggest view of scenery (I dont need to be in the shot), so I was wonder what the best setup for that would be. I was thinking a 360 camera because I could choose at times to use the front footage and sometimes the back...and maybe even the sides (not sure how that works). In your video you didn't have any big wife nice shots of scenery so not even sure if what I want to do is possible. Love the accent :) OH also did you not like the GoPro Max?
Hi Kickassets. You need to watch my latest vid if you're considering the 360. I am moving my entire blogging setup over to Insta360. Cheers. th-cam.com/video/XG6m2SqvlRQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the tips! They are awesome! What kind of clamp are you using to secure the selfie stick?
They’re two Manfrotto clamps joined together which I got on Amazon.
Great video! I have the latest version, x2. I had a go with the software today but already stuck with it. Workflow be great! My main issue is I don’t understand how me zooming and moving view etc, does it make those changes permanent as you play the video and amend?
I will get around to doing this as I’ve been asked a few times. It does make those changes permanent to your timeline but doesn’t affect your original footage so you can go back at a later stage and select completely different angles again from the same footage. You need to use the key frame marker within the software to choose your shots. I will definitely do a demo on this.
@@WheelieGoodTV thank you, be very much appreciated! I’ve found you on Instagram now too. 🙌
EXCELLENT. Would you be kind enough to tell me the parts number of the two (2) Manfrotto clamps you are using. Royal Enfield is TRIUMPH Motorcycles in Canada.
Thanks Claude! If you search Amazon for ‘Manfrotto clamp with stud’ it will appear. Get two of them to connect to each other then one will grip the bike whilst the other holds the selfie stick.
Loving the information, very helpful! The accent, sounds like NE UK and Ireland. Am I close? I've never heard its like :)
Ha ha you nailed it. Yes I’m a Geordie and then married an Irish lass and fell in love with her Country too so have lived there for the last 17 years. Well spotted! 👍🎥🏍
Hello buddy from South Africa 🇿🇦. Loved your ideas and info on this camera. I am also deciding between the insta and max....
I am just waiting to see if gopro will release a max2?
it's overdue now....
I think I will be too conscious of bystanders and drivers thinking I am a "nut" placing a camera above my head like that.
Safe riding Meneer.
Hi Zunaid, I’m not sure I’ll ever buy another GoPro product ever again. I do get some funny looks alright! 🤣🤣👍
Hi there, lovely very interesting video. Thank you so much for the contributions and dedication. What mic moto-loggers use with an insta 360x3 that is waterproof and it’s easy to connect once you go back to the motorbike( meaning it will connect via Bluetooth directly without touching anything)?.
Very important is to say bikers use thick gloves and they want to know when they decide to record( as they have the microphone inside the helmet in order to avoid the wind noise as much as possible) a mic that is easy to touch and start recording unless that has voice command( like AirPods-which seems a bit of a issue every single time you go back to the bike and you have to connected to the X3).
Thank you for your time
Hi. I use this setup with the DJI mic now for all my vlogging. I only use the X3 for my effects shots. th-cam.com/video/OZfLFgYtnwE/w-d-xo.html
@@WheelieGoodTV thank you for your time
Lots of good information here! Subscribed! Have you ever had a problem with the Manfrotto clamps getting loose due to vibration?
Hi Ray, thanks for the sub and yes I have had a few mishaps alright. I keep a pair of wrench pliers in my panniers to tighten everything to max when I’m using the Manfrotto mounts and as I said in the video turn the camera to attract the least amount of airflow. Other than that I try not to do stupid speeds with this camera configuration and also not for too long using any camera angle.
When I’m sitting on the selfie stick and it’s out the side of me I find that the most secure and safest way to capture the 360 footage. Thanks again. Cheers, Dave. 🎥👍🏍
Greetings from New Zealand where the roads are so much wider .... Nowt on telly so enjoyed watching some of your videos, will catch up with the rest now I'm subscribed :-)
Yorkie in NZ ha ha many thanks! Are you sure you’re not from Geordie land using words like Nowt?! Same language as we use from my original part of the world. Cheers for the sub!👍🏍
@@WheelieGoodTV Just down road in good ole Yorkshire but like you I migrated :-)
Great footage of what can be achieved with the X2! Has the software improved as far as the curving effect to smooth it out better?
Hi Tommy, unfortunately the software hasn’t been given an improvement but there are a few plugins for final cut X which do a great job. They are designed to take the curve out of DJI drone footage and definitely work on my footage. It’s a bit time consuming though so I only use it on really curved footage which I want to save.
Is there a way to remote start recording instead of pressing the button on the camera ?
Yep, there is a remote you can buy from Insta360.
Great Tutorial. Thanks! Convinced me to get the Insta360 ONE X2 vs ONE R. If you can do a short video on using the software that would be great. Keep it up!
Thanks Rob and I’ll definitely get around to that. 👍🏍
This video is of the original X tho’, not of the X2, right? Thanks.
@@kierenmoore3236 yes, the original. The same principals apply though.
Love your video.
How do you get a shot where you can see the effects of the motorcycle leaning? Where the horizon goes at an angle on a tight turn. Much like you would get on a fixed camera angle. That way it captures the essence of how twistie the road s.
Hi. You can select all this in the free software with the Insta camera. It holds the horizon level giving that impact of the lean angle or you can choose the angle of horizon you like.
@@WheelieGoodTV okay, I will try that. Thank you.
What mannual settings have you used?
Hi, I've had a insta 360 for some time now and generally mount it on a RAM mount attached to the mirror arm. As far as the first thing you showed, down the back of the jacket have got any means of stopping it slipping sideways? I know of someone using a backpack for thus shot but never seen your method before
Hi, yes when it’s down the back of my jacket I push my head back against it and that does the trick. I only ever keep the camera in these positions for a few mins until I have enough shots to overlay in the edit.
@Wheelie Good TV ok thanks for the heads I'll give it a go on a quiet road😁
Awesome, from Texas! I traverl to the mountains of Colorado and Wyoming quite a bit. Can you straighten out the horizon enough to make the mountains look normal?
Hi Gary. The short answer is no I’m afraid. To get the horizon level you have to zoom in using the software which would make it unusable in terms of pixelation. A GoPro set in linear mode is your best chance for this. 👍🎥
@@WheelieGoodTV thanks!
I just purchased an X3 and I'm doing my crash course tonight hoping to use it tomorrow. On my GoPro I put one of those foam things to help reduce the wind noise. Have you put one on your 360 camera?
Hi, no I never did that as it would show up in the picture. I also don’t use the sound from the camera now since I use these cameras only for the effect shots to edit in with the DJI Osmo Action 3 footage. The vid you watched is about 2 years old so I’ve lots of new videos explaining my setup now if you would like to watch. 👍🎥
@@WheelieGoodTV Got it. Working my way through various videos now. Thanks for the response.
Just wondered if you could tell me if I need two manfrotto clamps to make it the same setup as yours on the front? Cheers
Yes I would. It reduces the vibration and after losing a camera with a flimsy clamp I would definitely spend the extra on two Manfrotto clamps.
@@WheelieGoodTV cheers! I do have the insta360 motorcycle mount kit too so you would think should be good enough but your video made me think twice. Would you mind if contacted you on Instagram so you can confirm if was same mount that failed on yours?
@@rve_rider741 yes of course no problem.
I think you should use RAM tough claw
0:50-1:17
I was wondering what are the bracket and the helmet bag attached behind your seat?
Looks really convenient, and also a good mounting spot for clamping the insta360.
Really looking forward to purchase the bracket and the helmet bag. Is the helmet bag also waterproof?
The bag was just an Amazon find and worked well with that bike. The bracket came fitted on the FJR for the back box. 👌🏍
Great vid and helpful. Can I ask what invisible selfie stick do you use. Does it vibrate at speed and what length does it extend to please
Hi Steve. It’s the Insta360 own brand selfie stick and extends to 115cm. It doesn’t vibrate on my bikes but have heard it does on sports bikes. Hope that helps. Cheers
@@WheelieGoodTV thanks i have a KTM GT but will buy and try
I assume the clamps you use are the insta ones also?
@@stevesherlockrides no, the clamps I use are heavy duty Manfrotto clamps.
A very nice presentation! I just hate the resolution of the Insta camera... I only shoot 4K and most of the time the rendered video of an Insta seems below 1080... Pity, because the angles and versatility are very good!! Regards!
Thanks. Totally agree with you about the resolution and was hoping the version 2 would improve that. Unfortunately it hasn’t.
I am too old to ride a bike. Could I drive my BMW convertible and achieve similar results? Thanx for the advice
Yes it will work perfect.
Cooll
Dave what is the length of that selfie stick if you don’t mind? 😃 This video was exactly what I was looking for
I’ve just measured it and it’s 115cm fully extended. It’s the Insta 360 selfie stick. Think it was about 25 quid?? Hope that helps. Cheers
Great info. Can you please tell me what selfie stick you are using here? I want to make sure I buy the invisible one. ;)
Yeah this is the one invisible one and is just called the Insta Selfie stick made by ‘Insta’. It’s the software in the stitching process which makes the stick invisible.
Is there a link or model number for the manfrotto mount that you have on your bike? It looks so secure!

@@WheelieGoodTV Thanks so much! I've learned a ton from this video!
I'm 71 and very behind on keeping up with technology. I would like to video riding my pro street custom. You mention after the video you make changes with the software. Can this be done adding the software to your computer? I'm still using a flip phone without all the smart technology.
Hi TreeGuru, yes it is done by downloading the free software onto your computer. To be totally honest it’s not the easiest thing to do if you’re not very technical but I’m sure if somebody shows you then you’ll be fine. Good luck.👍🎥
Were you in Cootehill when you made one of the videos?
Well spotted!
