Nah I think its a nightmare too. My main beef is you dont get to see enough. I got a GoPro Hero 7 thinking I could drop the gimbal but in order to get stabilisation they have to cut the frame so basically you dont see as much and are constantly craning up. We are just staring at dirt here.
@stoo61: That a product of the high angle from a helmet mount. Hypersmooth does cut down the field of view a bit, but IMO the angle is the real issue. If you're seeing the front wheel and handlebars in a helmet mounted viewpoint the angle is simply too steep and does the viewer no favors.
@Dudeclimbsrocks: True. In this case thats the main issue but generally when I took footage with the Hero 7 alone it was just worse than with the gimbal. I know a lot of people don't want to carry the gimbal about and think its cumbersome but I have used it A LOT and I don't mind it at all for those times you want a wee souvenir video.
@Dudeclimbsrocks: Yeah I’m more partial to the chest mount angle myself. I still think a 4K option with a gimbal looks way less exaggerated and much smoother.
@leviatanouroboro: Agreed with both of you! For sure the gimbal will always look the best, if only they could figure out how to make the gimbal anticipate berms and not lag behind!
@savagelake: Ya don't know what ya got t'ill its gone... stationed out in Kansas on military orders and there are NO hills here. Gotta drive a minimum 2.5 hrs just to get to a small hill with 400' elevation that I can build on XD Coming from California I'm definitely experiencing withdrawals haha
I'm not sure how much to read into the moment when Vali looks back at the bottom and Pom Pom is the same distance behind her as she was behind Pom Pom up top. I know they are not at race speed but I think Vali could win some races this year.
No,way they’re on double down, they’ve got to be on full DH casings and probably with inserts to boot. Also, on a technicality, because Myriam is a Schwalbe rider so she wouldn’t be on DD by default.
I'm coming off a injury that has taken me much longer to recover from than I imagined, it being severe and me being old so my perspective is a bit skewed. But damn the commitment, skill and speed that Vali and Nicole are showcasing is truly impressive!
@barbarosza: NEVER, USING THE POWER OF RED-BULL, AND ITS SIDE EFFECTS, I WILL NEVER GO TO BED! I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, THEREFORE IT IS 8:42. I WILL STAY AWAKE FOREVER!!

Just a talking point, cheers!
My 2¢. Thanks for your take!
Also Double Down casings and Cush Core together must be real deal because there’s no way neither of them got a flat on that trail otherwise.
