Just finally catching up on my RUclips this week and I'm probably going to be lost in the rest of the comments but thanks for the love!! :) Also chest mount angle tip I used to use: place 3 fingers between the camera and the chesty and it should be set to a good angle!
Thanks for the shoutout Blake! I STILL come back from some rides with really bad footage I can't use because the angle is borked. One thing I've played with is attaching a gimbal to your backpack and shooting the person behind you. Kinda weird, but kinda cool!
Something I have learned from Brian is to make sure the mount for your Gimbal is strong. Otherwise, the mount moves and the Gimbal can't do its job. :) Around 3:47 you can see it move.
Super helpful. Thank you! I've been going through loads of trial and error with my chest mount and getting footage of just the handlebars lol. I've got a GoPro 9 and I'm going to flip it upside down in the holster and use the tips you recommended. Really excited to give it a shot during my next ride!
This is great. I’ve been struggling with camera angles. Especially with the chest mount. I have hours and hours of unusable footage that would have been really good had I had a better chest mount angle. Thanks.
Thanks Blake this is great. Just what I needed. Never seen the helicopter thing b4 but seen your shots done like this before and now know how you did it! Joy!
Great great! Definately cool angles. I'll be bringing out the duck tape for that selfie pole... and fhe heli mount? One of the coolest I've seen. Great vid!
Just because of your shoutouts to the other Channels I am now a Subscriber to yours. Really enjoying the MTB community and channels on YT. Sharing is caring and you support your comrades in the same business as yourself. Great stuff and hey. Even more daily videos to glance at in the late evenings. Keep up your good quality content.
Derailer gear change action!?? thanks for the tips, working on video atm of assembly of custom built MB. (by peacock groove) I'm hoping to capture some action shots of the client, when the bike is delivered.
What about the POV set up they use on shows like Expedition Unknown where they have a pole or bar mounted to plate on the person's back? With that setup, the camera is in front of the person, looking back towards them.
Hi Blake there's another camera position that can be attached to to the bike and that's on the triple crown forks but placed on the upper part next to headset of the bike in between the upper and lower cross attachments. Barracuda Bob.
MATE! I just chest-mounted my GoPro this weekend on the trails and got knee-cam. So frustrated, camera wouldn't angle up any further... Dug this up and you've got the GoPro mounted upside down so it'll aim as up as you want. Dangit!!! Such a simple solution that I just never thought of until I saw you do it. Thank you Blake! (as always) Gonna go shred some more and actually be able to see it!
I was just gifted my first POV camera yesterday (Hero 10) and was planning to use the chest mount she gave me. Later on, finances permitting, I’d like a gimbal. I’m wondering if there are a few that stand out and any to completely avoid. Keep up the great content!
I'd get closelined so hard riding with that heli-mount on my local trail! Way too many trees on either side of the trail with just enough room for your handlebars. Nice video though!
i mostly use the chest mount for biking. and top of helmet for skiing. one ive never liked was side of helmet because the helmet takes up a big chunk of the screen. either top of helmet or under visor are good for following someone. i think chest mount is best for riding alone
Thanks for sharing! Some thoughts: instead of a DYI duct tape workaround (possibly leaving sticky residue and ripping stickers) and a selfie stick (doesn't seem very handy nor safe to ride with), there are (banana shaped) selfie mounts for ex. GoPole which serve this angle of shooting. Chest mounts: they may be uncomfy and more sweaty especially in combination with a backpack. If you don't manage to adjust the camera angle well enough to eliminate a view on the handlebar, make sure to shorten the strap in a way the mount moves higher up your chest. If you you're often wearing a backpack, consider a backpack strap mount from PeakDesign or StuntMan. Without a gimble, the chest area is probably the best position to get a steady image.
Chest mounted gimbal is the best. Everything thing else just looks naff now. Still need the trail to be good though. There is also the difference in FOV that also contributes to the shot. I always forget to adjust my gimbal on really steep trails
The thing with chest mount is that i cant find an angle good for both pedaling on the saddle and on what you call the riding position (standing up basically)
Freaking awesome information video. Just watched the nine knights vid and saw your photo win. Congrats on defending that title. What popped in my mind when I saw the mountains in the background with the blue skies, is and aerial shot where the daylight full moon is in the sky over the mountains. If you could get the shot while doing a 360, but have the angle so it actually looks like you're jumping over the moon. Just a thought.
6907 thumbs up but 98% of all RUclips MTB videos from beginning to end are only filmed in 1 camera position. In the end, it's great to see how cool it looks with quickly cut different camera perspectives. And there are enough videos with such tips. Nevertheless, you can see 3min downhill blasts from the chesty or helmet mount.

pro tip!!!
Thanks for the tip
Yo thanks Phil, imma try that!
Great tip, thanks!
Bro was not lost in the comments

BKXC hey Brian
BKXC Brian out here!!

BKXC II
BKXC your welcome my dude. Love your stuff man.
Love the head fidget spinner
Another angle I really love is the chin mount on a full face. It is low like the chest mount but stable on the head
Chest is my favourite. Captures everything you need you see. Besides, it also makes you look a little faster
I dunno why but I love it when Blake says "here"
Nice shout out to bkxc phil and seth
Greencube14 yeah😂
Yes :D
Zachariah Bowden lol
4:20 just magical
You gotta love Blake! What a dude.
Since blake said his helicopter mount was Home made.. How about a "How to" (make your own heli-Mount) Video
3 years later and still no reply :(
@@okayyraph lol
Loads of tutorials on here
ay
@@okayyraph best reply comment ever
Blake is such a natural presenter and is always good at being funny and addressing kids
I like mounting on the mouth/chin piece of the full face helmet. I made a plastic bracket and velcro it on. Similar to a proshot camera.
Amazing advice for us hobbyists from a world class presenter...priceless!
The best video I have seen about camera angles in MTB!!! Your rock bro! 🤘🏼
Super helpful. Thank you!

Love this guy's enthusiasm an passion 😚
Yep
This is great. I’ve been struggling with camera angles. Especially with the chest mount. I have hours and hours of unusable footage that would have been really good had I had a better chest mount angle. Thanks.
The shots from the helimount are so sick! best tip ever.
Thanks Blake this is great. Just what I needed. Never seen the helicopter thing b4 but seen your shots done like this before and now know how you did it! Joy!
This is the first GMBN video I ever watched!
What is the name of mini gymble and it's buying link please. Thanks
This helped soooooo much!! now that I am getting into filming various sports I do this comes a long way, thanks!! :)
Great great! Definately cool angles. I'll be bringing out the duck tape for that selfie pole... and fhe heli mount? One of the coolest I've seen. Great vid!
Awesome TUITORIAL I got new ideas how to set-up video camera.
Thanks for the tips Blake, i've been needing this video since i am getting a Hero session.
Thanks GMBN, you guys are the best!

Really like Blake's videos
Love the megavalanche one
Great stuff taping a selfie stick/heli mount to your noggin but here @OZ Trails NWA,....the trees...ouch... Lol. Great tips as always!
Excellent video Blake. The advice on the chesty angle will really help since I am just starting my channel. Ride safe man! Scott
I saw the small ifht sticker on your helmet! RAD
Boaz Tennekes seriously
i like to look at the details :)
Boaz Tennekes for sure
Learned a few things. Awesome work. Cheers.
I love this freeride action!!!
The selfie stick taped to the head is a great idea! I need to try that!

Nice sticker on the back of your helment Blake
I once fitted mine on my seat post. It is actually a good angle but a lot of times the shorts get in the way.

Hey @printerror! Ruined footage sucks! At least now you can get shredding with the sickest camera angles EVER! 🔥🤘
2:39 is for me. Just purchased one for my GoPro. Looking forward to capturing my rides from the chest angle, the classic angle if so.
MR
Was stoked for the edit at the end... then I heard that bloody music

those camera angles are brilliant
will definitely be taking your advise!
You sure right about the Helicopter mount it is very hard to find on the net
Also if you use a roost guard and attach a mount to it you can get super stable chesty footage
I'd get closelined so hard riding with that heli-mount on my local trail! Way too many trees on either side of the trail with just enough room for your handlebars. Nice video though!
Outstanding Blake
I LOVE YOU BLAKE
😢 made the mistake on the chest mount just like u said, but thanks alot for new awesome ideas ill try them out
Awesome! And thanks for the cool hack with the heli mount!)
Haha nice shout out to BKXC and Seth, poor Alex. It's funny that you put your multitool to compensate the weight!
You guys need to do a video on how to build the heli mount.
i mostly use the chest mount for biking. and top of helmet for skiing. one ive never liked was side of helmet because the helmet takes up a big chunk of the screen. either top of helmet or under visor are good for following someone. i think chest mount is best for riding alone
What about the dinger angle cam? For those shots when you're going in and out of Baja!
Thanks for great filming tips! Shared to eBike Smile facebook group.
This video gave me a bunch of great ideas, thank you!
Hahah I busted out in laughter around 5:00. Good tips haha

Below the visor😍
Good job on this Blake
Seriously awesome. Thanks guys

Blake is the best
Epic tips n tricks cheers Blake 😁🤜🏻🤛🏻😁
More info on how you made the spinny mount
how did you put the gopro mount on the poc coron? because ninja mounts don't work on the coron?
Massive thanks for the tips, these videos are sick
Thanks Luke van Eykenhof! Happy to hear they're helping
Awesome video help me out a lot
Nice one for the vids!! Very helpful!!!
Can you put a GoPro under the visor any open face helmets?
Great shout out to Skills With Phil, Seth Bike Hacks and BKXC.
I like the IFHT sticker on the back of your helment blake🤣🤣
alternative for ducktape get rid of the bolt on a handlebar mount and use it like that
Also a top tip for POV record in 4:3 to capture much more. (16% top and bottom extra) 2.7k 4:3 is my go to for POV. :D
Orihe like it. Thanks
4:3 videos don't look as cinematic though. Black bars aren't nice.
You wouldn't be exporting your video in 4:3, it gives you the option to move the video vertically in post to get the perfect POV

an actual new and unique video
Maholo my dudes!! Skrrrrrrrrt!!!!!! Nice bear Blake😉
Do a video on how to make the heli mount!!!

We would be fulfilling the childhood prophecy and become the cow jumping over the moon!
He has an IFHT sticker on his helmet!
Sick!
great video
Great Video - awesome. Super content.
3:40 where can I buy one of those? So hard to stabilize your footage when you can only afford gopro hero 5
Always a bit hesitant about chest mounts since I saw a guy imbed a kite chest harness into his sternum puncturing a lung and goofing his spleen up .
What if you compare different action cameras from different pricw points?
What setting should I use for a chest mount? Wide, linear, etc.
tape a stick towards back on your seat and gimbal a chase cam of yourself
mdtrx that's a pretty good one
From personal experience the bar mount is much more stable then a helmet mount. Is this overall incorrect?
Awesome mate cheers!!
Thanks for the tips Blake and #GMBN 👊🤙
I know it’s a big ask, but could you do a video on how to make a heli mount? Cheers
Can you do a how to make a heli mount please
Where did you find the heli mount? Thanks for all the info
Do ya think that you could change up the edit music a bit, because we have had that music for a while now

Does anyone know if the jersey he is wearing has pockets on its back or not? thx
trialboj no pockets dude
Where did you get the helicopter mount then can you tell us
Jack Beames I made it dude. I didn't buy it
Blake Samson oh shame going to leogang next week would of been good
New video you need to make dude. Helio
Der Man ?
Great video but with the unicorn mount its bad if you have some stikers on yours helmet
Great SO to the guys! Love this channel.
