Hey guys,

Check it out!

I decided to get myself the Insta360 X3 action camera because my GoPro Hero10 went dead on me. It's my own fault as I forced one of the bloated batteries into the battery compartment without thinking. Something happened while prying it out and now it wouldn't charge or turn on again.

I'm going to get it repaired, someday. Meanwhile, I'm glad I got myself the Insta360. I've been considering it between the GoPro back then. I'm glad I waited as the X3 is super-awesome. The main reason I wanted it is because you can hide the selfie stick view in the video. Which is a cool feature.

Someone asked me about my GoPro Hero10 the other day. He has been pondering about getting it for years. I told him, it took me a while too to finally get it. And, I simply love it. My friend even commented about how good the quality of the video I took.

I did tell the guy about the Insta360 camera. But, his mind seems set on the GoPro. It's a brand name that people associate with quality videos. And, he's right. But, the insta360 offered something more and something different. Especially, for a cyclist who likes to make videos like me.

Now, with an Insta360 X3, I don't need to keep asking my nephew or anyone else to come along with me to go cycling or hiking. I can go solo and record myself. People won't know that I'm actually using a selfie stick. Just a moment ago, my friend asked how I record myself riding from behind? Lol.

I showed my niece a bit of my video on my insta360 yesterday and she was wondering where did I mount my camera. I told them all that you can basically mount it on any part of the bike. I also realized, I need another camera mount to support the stick as using one main isn't strong enough to support it.

If you want to mount your selfie stick on your bike, you need a good strong holder. The insta360 camera is a tad heavy and your selfie stick will probably slide down. That's why I decided to buy another mount with a double clamp. That'll hold it up. 

When going out cycling, most of the time, I'll carry a backpack. Yesterday, I got the idea of putting the selfie stick inside and there's actually a small holder that I can use to hold the stick straight up. I think it's supposed to be used as a key holder. That's a plus. I got a good top-down camera view.

The Insta360 X3 desktop and phone app is very good too. You can also watch some tutorials and videos from other users. I found the editing software to be simple, fast, and easy to use. I didn't understand how to use the keyframe at first but once you know how, you're set!

You can export your video to your favorite video editing software and upload it to your youtube channel or wherever. I'm not sure if you can edit direct without taking the MicroSD card out from the camera. I decided to use an adapter and transfer it to my MacBook after a few tries.

The video I uploaded on my youtube channel is the first one I took using my new Insta360 X3 action camera. And, it's been a blast. I love how you can set it to your choice keyframe from just one video. It is a 360-degree camera so you can choose from various points of view. Cool!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I decided to get myself the multifunction bike computer mount holder. I found out later my cheap bike computer can't be mounted on it. But, I decided instead to mount my new GoPro Hero 10 on the top side. That way, I could easily see what I'm recording.

I also bought a GoPro 360 rotational mount adapter. I'll then be able to rotate the camera any, way I want. I could turn it to face the left or right side and even backward. I've always wanted to show a beautiful view of the river on the sides while I'm cycling.

I also bought an extra GoPro holder that I can clamp anywhere on the bike frame. I'll be able to take videos from several different views. I thought of buying a selfie stick bike mount holder. So, that I can take a whole view of myself while cycling. 

You'll need something like a double clamp mount. One to clamp on your bike and the other side to clamp your selfie stick. I like the idea of the insta360 invisible selfie stick. You can record the view from behind or in front of your bike without showing the stick. Pretty cool trick.

I'm just preparing all the things I need to make my video when I go riding. Been planning for a long while. Especially, after decided to finally got myself a GoPro. I like how small and portable the GoPro is back then. Though, nowadays, you have much smaller camera.

Having a much smaller camera that takes better quality action pictures/videos that you can then transfer and share on social media. The other day, I bought the SJCAM C100+ but didn't realize how important stabilization is. Especially, if you wanna take action videos.

The good thing about the multifunction computer mount is that I can put my GoPro either at the top or under it. Of course, I can also put my speedometer on it too. If I want to, I can also put my torchlight. Though, I don't think I will. 

I'm still thinking if I want to buy another new bike computer. The one I had is a rather small cheap version that I only wanted to see the speed while riding. Now, that I have it, I realized, I can use it to see the time, distance, average speed etc. Pretty useful info.

Anyway, what you guys think of my Java Veloce road bike cockpit setup? I might change it up later on as I test which is the best way to mount my GoPro and other accessories. Now, if only we have long weekend holidays for me to try out my ride and setup.

What do you guys think?
