4 More Days to Submit Your RAW Video Footage to the GoPro Evolution Contest - $20,000 Cash Prizing
@endlessblockades: The video featuring Aaron Gwin above shows him select it in settings. I've always used the same 16:9 settings as I've got my angle perfected so a little unsure of where to find it. I recalled watching a video saying the best idea is always to shoot 4:3. The reason is, 16:9 is actually a crop of 4:3, not the other way around. So you're getting more frame on the top and bottom of 16:9, giving you the ability to ensure you got what you want + stabilise in post.

They often recommend 4:3 as it allows to crop to 16:9 in post to the optimal part of the frame.

Microshift's $600 Electric Drivetrain Is Nearly a Real Thing - Taipei Cycle Show
@TheOriginalTwoTone: you seem to be changing opinions mate.
These are my thoughts, as stated above:
- Manual in my opinion, are better AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME.
- This is due to there not being any batteries, or technical difficulties to go wrong
- Technology will only get better with time, so I do believe that one day, our drivetrains will all be fully-functioning, well made and electronic.

@IllestT: People think technology is the future, which is obvious the way we're heading. BUT, there will always be somethings that are better off manual/analog, for example drivetrain. Would you rather have a battery you have to worry about recharging and the possibility of running out mid-ride, or just a wire that needs replacing once or twice a year at most? I know what I'd choose!
In regards to wireless though, one day I'm sure they'll nail the design, which may, or may not have benefits over current designs. Or perhaps derailleurs aren't the way of the future at all!

@IllestT: On every single bike, the cable comes from the handlebar and comes out at the rear triangle. That excess wire could catch on a rock, root or anything.
I'm not here trying to cause an argument, I was just stating my thoughts on the issue.

@IllestT: I'm not completely with wireless either, but I see it's advantages. I wouldn't be using it until it's a perfect component.
Having a wireless system would mean no wires. Which means if you go on a long trip, you won't have the worry of snapping a cable and having to walk the rest.
Honestly, I'd rather to stay on an 'analog' system over any type of electrical, although I can see it's advantages.
Who knows, wireless may mean being able to connect it to your device to tune it. There are numerous benefits, but obviously at this point in time wireless wouldn't be an advantage over wired or analog drivetrains.

@TheOriginalTwoTone: I was comparing already created batteries that are smaller than button batteries but could power devices such as 40+ years. I wasn't talking about using a button battery. Learn to read. And, maybe don't come out like you know everything, I've worked in Uni's which have been studying and designing these types of batteries. The technologies amazing, but it won't be produced as big brands buy the designs so no one can produce them.

@suravida: Completely agree. I'm using 1x11 XTR and it runs great. A few adjustments need to be made after every so many rides just from flogging it, but it does it's job, and that's all it needs to do.
I personally feel like there'd be no real benefit of electronic drivetrain until it's wireless (mainly due to no snapping cable). And I guess once you take away the weight of the cabling and any other 'analog' gear the derailleur and shifter will no longer need, a battery would weigh up fairly similar.
