I can't believe I was searching for Francis Cade's stuff, and you made this vid! Small world, nicely done! I've been contemplating adding this to my video setup eventually, and would love to hear how you use your big guy while cycling, or if this is purely for when you stop.
Haha, can share my experience. I don't use this exact configuration now when I ride. I'm back to using the regular loops on the sides of the camera instead of on the tripod mount. The new GoPros are so good now its kinda silly to try using the big camera while riding now
@@jamescabrera I was trying to figure that out now, I know CADE mentioned the audio is better on a real SLR, but I’m not sure about video quality re: non-action-cam moments. I know I would want it for b-roll, but I’m not sure about the rest. Are you using exclusively go-pro at this point? If I used an slr, I might want to get a mirrorless just for the lighter weight if I have to hold it while riding, but I love my classic slr for photography.
@@KaienVeryce I kinda hate that Francis has been using the GoPro almost 90% of the time now while riding. I really appreciate the quality of the big camera. But after trying to cycle with the A7iii and a 24-70 strapped on it's just so burdensome to carry around. I also have no idea how he keeps his hand so damn steady with it. I've been dying to find a video showing him in 3rd person recording himself and other riders with the big camera while on the bike. You notice how some shots where he's chatting with folks while riding uphill? The other riders look like they're hustling up, meanwhile he's in front them holding the camera pointed at them and its steady as hell. I need to know his technique holding the camera and stabilization settings in post.
@@jamescabrera we have been on the same quest. I really wanna know his stabilization technique. His lady does say how often he does retakes of things to get it just right. Honestly, I think I would use the strap as a third point of stability. I am wondering if he does that in anyway way. Maybe attack the strap around the handlebars? It also doesn’t hurt that he has been doing it for so long. I know that When I was shooting with old sensors in crap light, I got really good at holding still, or minimizing movement. I feel like that has to be part of it. Of course, being able to ride hands free probably makes it easier.
I also feel like with that big sensor, if he has good footage, he can crop in a lot with a stabilization in post, so as long as he doesn’t have hVe micro movements, with the right filter, or multiple passes, it might be ok. It also comes down to the roads he is on, but also the type of bike he has could make a difference. I know carbon fiber has less vibrations than say aluminum, or so I’m told, which could make a difference in smoothness.
Good tip mate!
Thank you very much, I did not find a Strap model for MO Sony HX99 which only has a support hook, I will copy your idea and I will like you !!
Very good solution! Good job!
Thank you for posting this! Have been searching for a video like this!
Thanks man this helps alot. I only saw a couple of other brands but they where mega expensive. Thats so much
Nice! Been looking all over for this
Great tip!

Regular Camerastrap, D-Screw on the bottom of my camera and a 7€ Dog-seatbelt and I’m good to go.
