Good day to you. I am a senior rider on HONDA from Japan. Enjoying touring ,camping and video uploading. This is so nice 360 camera video Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!!
For our MTB selfie videos, we used velcro + carbon fiber gopro selfie stick, plus superglue to lock out the joints of the stick. Carbon fiber was key... because ya know... grams count. ;)
Noticed that your camera is diagonal. Is that ok or does it need to be completely horizontal? I have the same issue and thinking of returning it as I can’t fix it horizontal.
I bought the third person mount but it didn't fit with garmin at the same time. I had another aero garmin mount also it didn't fit with that. Actually I don't know how to solve that problem
Hello Lesley, for moto i would recommend the Moto Mount you can see in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8M84Gl-aHCY.html This is the link to the product store.insta360.com/accessory?insrc=INRZXYB
This is so far is my 1st choice since I start which one is the best location and fittings to be fixed camera during my cycling thanks for info.Cheers from Isla Filipinas
Hi! No, but maybe check out the new bike bundle clamp mount www.insta360.com/sal/x4?INRZXYB Honestly though, I don’t use mounts anymore, I just whip out the camera, fix it between my hand and the handlebar, film 30 sec - 2 mins then put it away
Hi, I used the sticky lens protector and the premiium lens guard on the x2, on the x3 i'm not using any, it's risky but the sticky lens guards really reduce the image quality. Be very careful and maybe order the sticky lens guards, and see how you like them. Be cautious because once the lens is scrratched (and it is super easy) you need to send it back to the factory
@PatrickDelorenzi After finding a couple of tiny specs of dust made their way under front lens guard during application, I decided to remove the guards. Just those tiny dust specs ruined a shot I wanted that was back-lit by the sun on a pure, blue-sky day. I bought a 2-year protection package for my camera. So, I'm not too worried, but I'll remain very careful with it, regardless. Thanks for your response!
Hey Firdaus sorry I missed this comment! No unfortunately only round - you could look at the motorcycle mount which has a clamp that is more adaptable, but is super heavy unfortunately
Hey Clarence, they have a much better version of this mount now that is integrated with the stem cap; have a look at it on the website store.insta360.com/accessory?INRZXYB
Hey thank you for the review. I am still wondering this mount would not fit to aero bars for the tri bike. I am riding p5x so do you have any recommendations for the mount? Kindly enlighten me pls. 😊😊😊
Hello Junseok, I woul try with the MOto Mount, but being very careful about clamping it on carbon components; i've clamped it to the seatpost with no issue. Otherwise you can just ride with the stick in your hand filming for 10-30 sec, it's what i do now. Here is the link to the accessories where you can find the Moto mount, i would buy insta360 direct as the oones you find online often do not hold up: the weight the mount needs to hold up is quite a lot store.insta360.com/accessory?insrc=INRZXYB
Hi Patrick, I've bought the motorcycle mount bundle. It's very sturdy and fits well on my gravelbike bar. Unfortunately I fell and the camera broke off. It still works but there's a crack at the bottom. I bought an Alanzi alu frame so I can still use it. You mention in this vid that the camera must be mounted parallel to the ground but in the vid it's not. Does that mean that the camera comes lose due to bumps? Greetz again Ab
@@PatrickDelorenzi Regarding the Garmin cycling computer mount, all the mounts seem to have the three prong Gopro mount underneath which won't work with the third person mount. I need a Garmin mount with two prongs underneath to attach. Do you know if there's anything that will help with this?
Hey erick! I personally use the Motorcycle Mount Bundle that you can find in the accessories here: store.insta360.com/accessory?insrc=INRZXYB it is super stable even on uneven terrain; Be careful not to clamp it to hard on carbon
Yes you can use the original selfie stick as stated in the vid, but I wouldn’t use it fully extended as it might weigh a bit too much; there is one shot which is a bit of a tiny planet style in the vid, and I did exactly that - the mount was at 90 degrees pointing straight up. Only problem is the pole, depending on your bike setup, is quite literally where your face is lol so maybe you can’t do that forever, but for a couple of minutes (or if you’re on a relaxed / city bike even longer) it can work 👍
Know that my pole snapped and my Insta360 fell to the ground. Lucky the lens guard took the blunt of the scratches. When using this mount, you must slow down on bumpy roads.
Are you using giant handlebar? I am using the Giant Contact SL XR Dfuse Bar which back sweep immediately after the stem section, therefore everything I mount on the handlebar do not sit straight. I am wondering if the insta360 handlebar mount would fit normally on my handlebar.
Hi Patrick, thanks for this review. I'm thinking of getting this mount for my roadbike. Made some nice shots with the selfiestick. But as you mentioned it is a bit dangerous. Which mount would you advise for gravelbiking or mountainbiking? Greetz from the Netherlands!
Hey ADG, personally I would get the Motorcycle mount bundle because it allows the most versatility of use and is much sturdier; only con is it weighs a little bit extra but personally when I ride even just with a small back back it makes no difference. For filming hard core mountain bike a friend of mine used heavy duty Velcro strips and would stick the pole on the sram and straight out front ✌️ Only thing, get the original or a really sturdy moto clamp because otherwise less quality products will just slip; here is an affiliate link for the accessories, there might be a discount store.insta360.com/accessory?insrc=INRZXYB
Hi! You can attach the garmin to the handlebar mount with this adapter www.ubuy.co.it/it/product/RKUM7ZCE-vundo-bike-computer-garmin-mount-adapter-rotating-stem-for-garmin-edge-500-510-520-530-800-810-1000 attached to the top slot on the mount
Hey Choa! Oh no! I think it would work with any 360 camera from insta360, but can't be completely sure about it; If you need a mount fast another one I use is the Motorcycle Mount Bundle from the accessories list store.insta360.com/accessory?insrc=INRZXYB it's mega sturdy, works great, offers a lot of variety because you can angle it; only thing, it's a bit heavier so you can make your decision based on these things; happy filming
I have an aerodynamic handlebar which makes this type of mount unusable, do you have any other mount recommendation that can capture this kind of angle?
Hey Sudip - for motorcycle i can recommend the "Motorcycle Mount Bundle" that you can find in the accesories section store.insta360.com/accessory?insrc=INRZXYB I have it and it is MEGA sturdy, a lot of different angles, definitely a must buy
Not unfortunately; I think your best bet is getting a heavy duty Velcro strap or two and strapping the stick in the top part of the stem, pointing straight out in front
@@PatrickDelorenzi thanks for the advice. As integrated set ups are becoming increasingly popular, hopefully something will come out! Since posting I have found one possible option with the HSU gopro extension kit. It's the only thing with potential though. Thanks again.
You could potentially rotate it on the screen but to be honest I never look at it, you just test it a few times and then you alway la know more or less what the angle is going lo look like ✌️
Yes 👍 check out the latest video on the x3 I made to see what the app looks like, it’s super easy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oN4c7YNvJqM.html
@@PatrickDelorenzi another question mate with the hdr video does it still have stabilisation I have a osmo action 1 and if u usd hdr video on the bike the footage is very jumpy not that stable. So how does the hdr footage turn out on the insta 360 x3 if riding with it is it stabilised or would it be like my osmo action 1 where it's not really suitable for shooting in hdr on the bike if that makes sense
Yeah not advisable, the instructions say not to do it - of course I did it lol took it off road with the gravel bike, no massively problematic sections but a couple of drops off rocks 🪨 Won’t be doing that again 😂
There should be another way to mount the camera. The rider looks like a cartoon character. Monkey tail mount I feel do a better job. Rider is not natural. Should introduce an " L" shape rod to get better quality pictures and videos.
@@PatrickDelorenzi hey you want the movie and the photos ? When you ride more than 30km/h and have some shake all the plastic mount break. This is plastic so it break… I experienced it and when you see your 500+ fly through the sky you are not very happy. I’m not liar. I tend to think that insta don’t do action cam but only very very good ( I’m fully happy of the cam) cam for leisure and light activities.
Didn’t say you were a liar, just that that was your personal experience with this product that might have been faulty, I’ve used it a bunch with no issues
In all your videos with this bike mounting you look hilarious, sorry but this is the truth, you have a big head and long arms. How can you say you love this mount when your videos are so "cartoon style"?
