WOW, thank you so much for taking all of us South Africans on this beautiful mountain, although vertical for the last 20 minutes. I love the cattle grazing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Camera on helmet (after Alpenhaus) is not optimal. Looks like jogging. Try to mount it on the frame (top tube near stem) in proper height. This allows for best stability and constant viewing angles.
Hi René, thanks for the advice. All our videos are filmed from the cyclist's point of view. The is to simulate the exact experience that a cyclist has when riding. This ride is so step that the rider has to get out of the saddle. Albeit the jogging like motion. The problem with lowering the camera to the handlebar or top tube is that you no longer see what the rider is seeing. Having the view point very low means that one will miss out on the amazing scenery. Anyway, there are pros and cons to every filming technique...
@@BiketheWorld It's true, it's not that simple. The simple positioning directly on the handlebars (usually hanging below) is too low and one would film every wobble. With the position on top of the helmet, the view is already too high and you run the risk of it shaking too much, head movements down, right, left. That's why I have mounted the camera on the top tube in such a way that the camera is at a height of about 1.40 m with an extension arm. That is about the viewing height for a road bike cyclist. By mounting it on the frame, I hardly have any swivelling movements and it is very stable.
@@BiketheWorld I use a clamp strap from iShoxs to attach to the foremost end of the top tube. I then attach a long extension arm (iShoxs, 37 cm, bendable with force) to the clamp and then a GoPro (hanging) to the end of it. The arm rests slightly on the head tube (padded) and is secured with cable ties. This puts the GoPro about 30 cm above the handlebars and decouples it from steering movements. I use a full-suspension eMTB, which handlebars are higher than of a road bike anyway.
@@reneh.8817 That is an interesting setup for an eMTB👍. I tried something similar many many years ago for a road bike. But getting the arm from the top tube to a height of approx 160 cm (My measurements of the rider's POV on a road bike) was quite challenging. And riding it at 35-40 km/h didn't seem safe. Nevertheless, if one can make it work, it has many advantages as you mention :-)
Lucky you . What a great experience to cicle in this wonderful landscape.
This one is wonderful, but also extremely hard...
@@BiketheWorld Yes , I can believe that!!

Glad you enjoyed it! Do not hesitate to recomend us some rides in South Africa. We would like to go there and share ride from there :-)
We beat the Beast great view at the end thanks
This is the most aptly named ride...BEAST it is!
Somebody has some serious quads! Thanks for sharing your ride with us!
Thanks for this video and my kid joined me with her bike for a while, beautiful ride!.
What a great climb to have 'in your back garden'. Great workout and great views to take your mind off the pain. Thanks for sharing the experience.
What a beautiful climb. Another one I need to add to my Alpine wishlist! Thanks BTW. :)

@@reneh.8817 Hi René, That is an interesting way of doing it. How do you mount the extension arm on the top tube? I guess it is not a carbon bike ;-)

Properly tough.
