How to Film Cycling

[@mariel8467]

What brand of camera do you recommend for road cycling? Thanks

[@TerryB]

the one in this video

[@MiscellaneousMidwest]

I was about to say.. This is an accumulation of knowledge from years of you experimenting and sharing. Throughout your videos we've seen (and heard) the changes and the improvements/growth. I've always tried to catch the quick tips you share in previous videos and streams. This feels like the true deep dive. Really; thanks for putting this together and sharing. Cheers to the ever evolving rigs through trial and error. Keep dialing them in TerryB!

[@Nobreakmedia]

Terry giving away his filming technique. What a guy gotta love this guy!!

[@kelvin5005]

This style of filming is very relaxing

[@devops9506]

Your "helmet videos" are my favorite! Perhaps I won't be able to visit NYC in this lifetime, so your videos are the closest thing I have to experience the city's atmosphere...

[@TerryB]

Glad you like them!

[@devops9506]

@@TerryB Terry, I'm not just liking them, I love them, I'm absorbed by them ) You really have a rare talent for capturing and transferring a truly immersive experience.

[@JitinMisra]

I love the chest mount, with the handlebar view, feels like i'm riding the bike.

[@TerryB]

It does but not ideal if you’re filming someone else imo

[@AnttiJumppainen]

Good advice, thank you. I build a pole to back of bike but ideally such needs to be a special tripod structure to work really well and not affect bike by swinging/wobbling side to side.

[@Alistair_Spence]

Very generous of you to share this information. Much appreciated.

[@78bogosip37]

Epic as always love learning about this stuff. Best “TED” talk I’ve watched in quite a while.

[@eggfryedrice]

More like "TER" Talk lol

[@amarured]

So awesome man! Thank u so much! What an amazing short ... well it was almost like a video COURSE! You could have easily sold this! Maybe you should still do! In any case: Thank you for sharing, and thank you for this very calm and focused video! Your Video on "How to set up the helmet mount" from 4 years ago is still in my favorites to this day! Thanks for all the awesome filming in the past years and keep on doing what ur doing! Really hope to visit you one day in NYC too haha.

[@hms350]

Tks. Good piece. My uber strong recommendation is Bite Mount with GoPro 12. Keep it in back pocket. Can also hold in hand to shoot passing riders to the right and backhand.

[@platypus.divergent]

Thank you Terry. What has kept me with your content for multiple years is the attention to these small details. Especially audio, the 3rd person mic are my favorite (to be fair, for me it's more than 50% of experience🙂). Keep on experimenting!

[@TerryB]

Very welcome

[@brdrak]

Thanks, love your videos! Sounds like the Pocket 3 is the way to go for a cycling video noob like myself. How do you monitor the Pocket 3 to make sure the angle is correct, horizon is level, etc?

[@TerryB]

Thank you 🙏🏽. I use a quadlock and run the DJI mimo app. It gives you a live preview while recording. Even tells you when the wireless mic is connected.

[@brdrak]

@@TerryB Nice, thanks!

[@nathan_watson]

That GoPro tip was super helpful. Thanks!

[@TerryB]

No problem!

[@MrPhotodoc]

This is the lesson I've been waiting for! Valuable info straight from the master. Thank you!

[@bike.breath]

I feel like I’ve learned from just about every video you’ve made. Your creativity speaks volumes and always leaves me inspire to try something new.

[@TerryB]

Wow, thank you!

[@frankvehafric5062]

I really appreciate when accomplished people share their knowledge in a direct and understandable way.

[@thetropiki]

Thank you for not gate keeping all the info! Really appreciate that!

[@TerryB]

No worries!

[@rockeastwood]

Terry is the man. Love the behind the scenes.

[@baptdenisthemenace]

Passing on that precious knowledge and experience for the new cycling filmmakers that are to come. Love to see it! You're not leaving us are you Terry?

[@TerryB]

Just say no to gatekeeping

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thanks for the Tips Terry!

[@jonathanivanleonsantibanez7085]

Gracias por los consejos, toda tu experimentación se ha reflejado en el incremento de la calidad de tus videos con el paso de los años

[@maxwellgibbs4052]

Thanks for this, I’ve always been impressed by your videography and it’s cool to see how you do it

[@Khairulanwar-bd4ih]

Thank you so much for the knowledge, still remember the early days of the diy feiyu and gopro

[@darunius6886]

I have always wondered about your Shooting style! Thank you so much for this deep dive this was amazing and super clever!

[@nickbaumcycling]

sick! was just getting back into creating bike videos so this is perfect. Thanks for making this

[@TerryB]

Glad you liked it!

[@benjaminrosich]

Thanks for this information Terry Appreciate you 👍

[@TerryB]

More info to follow about the pocket 3

[@CoreyGolphenee]

I don’t know if it’s nostalgia but the Lo pro videos have always been my favorite, the bars being almost out of the shot made it perfect.

[@dj1997sms]

man i love your videos, thanks for all, you inspire me to ride and to rcord my rides, i made myself most of the camera mounts that i use, and someday i will post the videos here, you are a big inspiration, please never stop

[@TerryB]

Glad to hear it!

[@robinheil]

Thank you for the free, hard-earned knowledge Terry. I like using a mouth mount because it's quick, easy, and cheap. I can keep the camera in a bike bag and if something cool comes up, I can quickly whip it out and start recording. The downside is that sometimes my breath will fog up the lens, and I can't hold it in my mouth for very long.

[@TerryB]

trying filming in mexico city on the highway with ana puga at full gas using the mouth mount. extremely difficult to breathe :)

[@manwithnoname6580]

I also like the simplicity of the mouth mount, but for some reason if I keep it too long in my mouth, I start to gag. It’s not as if I’m trying to swallow the damn thing 😂 . Bloody weird.

[@SHADETREE666]

Good knowledge right there, thanks for sharing your expertise. I only really film my mtb rides using a chesty rig and an ancient go pro. Now you got me pricing up the dji pocket3 and mic combo. 💰🔥

[@Thrillhous.e]

Great tips from one of the best around! Thank you breaking down the gear, positions, and what you’ve learned over the years for the super novice like my self who only films from an iPhone.

[@cannon92]

This is top tier video making

[@_Lorniac]

I'm cycling NYC for the first time and this video helped me a lot thanks!!

[@DeanGroovy]

Thanks Terry, good tips!

[@TerryB]

Any time!

[@infinityvalor8101]

Very useful information, plan to film doordash vids on my hero10 in chicago (thank you very much for the night filming tech). It takes so much experimenting to find what works best your own induvial needs. Should probably staring carrying pepper spray now that I think about it. 🤔🤔

[@TerryB]

Glad it was helpful!

[@thiisnotanex]

the experience is overflowing from Terry

[@TrentSiggard]

This was fantastic. Right now I'm deciding between the DJI Pocket 3 and the Insta360 X4. I want the 360 for the 'look back' but the Osmo is so easy to throw into other peoples hands to film ME and I already have the DJI Mics. Hmmmmm

[@register1430]

What you do , and your subjects , is SO dangerous but I can still appreciate the skill involved. Tremendous skill. Stay safe as best you can.

[@noahpippen]

Dude thank you so much for the advice on this! I've really been wanting to film my rides because my wife just likes watching them and I want to make them nice to watch. Love your channel, too man!

[@TerryB]

Glad I could help!

[@ShorelineSprints]

Really appreciate all of this information.

[@TerryB]

Glad it was helpful!

[@_burrs]

Hey terry thanks for all this info. Love from Mexico

[@krazyeights]

Great content! Could you make a video about camera settings and exposures for bright and low light?

[@MaxMautner]

Thank you for sharing forward the wisdom! Every time I see your videos in my feed I remember interrupting you at that cafe in Madrid--still have those stickers you gifted me, placed on my bikes :)

[@TerryB]

It was great to meet you in Madrid. I remember that day clearly

[@ivansebanucci]

Great video as always. Thanks Terry!

[@al-du6lb]

I've been waiting forever for this one. Thanks Terry.

[@antefilm]

Big Thanks for the insights Terry! I absolutely love the osmo pocket, such a cool camera... For POV a mouth mount and wider view feels more natural in my opinion, but it's not that useful for longer shoots.

[@Ichtyosapiens]

Wow, this is what I call a masterclass! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge!

[@TerryB]

Glad it was helpful!

[@unsaved_]

Thanks for sharing Terry!

[@BikeLA23]

Thank you for all of your advice.

[@philipthangsombat]

Thank you so much for this video. What's your setup to mount the DJI pocket to your helmet?

[@TerryB]

amzn.to/3WRJUN0

[@beep_]

Yep after trying so many different GoPro gimbals etc I just bought myself a pocket 2 and mounted it. So much less unwieldy since the GoPro 10 gimbals are (relatively) huge. Pocket has much better onboard audio if no mic is available. Now just wish I had the pocket 3 😢

[@TerryB]

Good stuff!

[@diogojeronimo2860]

It would be cool to see a video where you share a bit of your editing process, like how you color grade the footage or the music that you use for a specific vibe for the video. i've been watching you for a few years, love the content. Props from Portugal :)

[@Rollwiththevibes]

Thanks for the info Terry. DJI cameras weren't on my radar at all, but it looks like they have some great features. I am going to check them out!

[@TerryB]

Very welcome

[@vialactea5549]

Thank you Terry for this synthetic and concise advise. Your knowledge is priceless. You could teach filmmaking if you wanted I bet

[@RidinParis]

Thanks so much for your work and your advices, you made me start my KZbin channel in Paris 👍

[@TerryB]

Great to hear!

[@2P0L4R]

Thanks Terry, Appreciate the info! I got 2 questions. For the Hotline videos is the only mic the one on the rider? Would you recommend an external mic and/or wind cover if you are POV filming yourself only? Right now I have just been using the built in mic with protective shell and the wind is still quite noticeable even using wind noise reduction settings. Thanks again and keep doing what you do!

[@beep_]

Wind cover helps a ton, what camera are you using?

[@2P0L4R]

@@beep_ Thanks! GoPro10.

[@TerryB]

Mic yourself if you film yourself

[@danieljstory]

Thank you, Terry, for talking about AUDIO!!!!

[@TerryB]

You bet!

[@nikkoymana934]

another epic video terry , what chest mount is that and camera?

[@TerryB]

The camera is talked about in the video 😶‍🌫️

[@sakarnsop1123]

You inspired me!!! Bought pocket 3 last week and had fun a lot but have two question😂 1. Is there a training to avoid neck pain😂😂😂 ? 2. For solo road bike ride, where should I mount the DJI mic on the bike to have least noise as possible? Thank you terry. You are my idol😊

[@zeddman]

The thumbnail really caught my eye. Terryffic video, Terry. 👏🏻

[@Crustenscharbap]

I've made a lot videos aswell. Your tips are really good. I also learned something. Fun fact at 8:22: Thats why you see in film-studios these board with a flap. There stands the scene and take and it claps loud. Some video editing software can "see" it and syncs the audio.

[@TerryB]

Exactly this is the poor man’s slate

[@PedalVision]

Right on! Thanks for sharing

[@oeyapss]

yo terry this video helps a lot. But what would be the best configuration so that my GoPro 12 does not turn off due to overheating?

[@TerryB]

I’ve never had that issue

[@ak4good]

Boom, pure gold from the master -- thank you Sir 🙏

[@TwoWheels_OO]

Interesting Terry, it seems I'd need a body mount, I always wondered how you do the side view, does the goggle camera turn on its own, how does it know who to focus on?

[@TerryB]

You have to turn it yourself and nail focus while riding ✅

[@sergiolego2001]

Hey Terry London rider, have just adquiérele a dji osmo and struggling to find a stable attachment for my helmet what do you use? And is that interchangeable with the chest mount

[@JAY6OLDEN]

Thanks Terry 🙏

[@Clappsy]

Can you separate the sound of heavier breathing from the ambient noise? Would a fur wind screen do that? Thanks for sharing your techniques!

[@fregatos2413]

Friend, could you please tell me what you use to process your videos? How did you achieve such a cinematic, beautiful image? What tools do you use? I'm grateful in advance for any information."

[@manumateu]

Hi terry, what mount are you using for the dji osmo 3?

[@limjs8674]

hey terry! what's the mount that you got on your helmet for the DJI Pocket 3? is it just an adhesive or strap? appreciate it if you can send a link to it! thanks for the vid!

[@sakarnsop1123]

Need help on this question too

[@HITABikes]

This was pretty cool. I've been itching to shoot some video from the bottom of my low rider pannier rack just to see what it looks like. Probably weird and kinda lame like everything else I shoot, but I have to know.

[@raulxcrespo]

awesome stuff, terry! unfortunately cameras and audio/video equipment in general are VERY expensive and i try to do my best with my smartphone, hopefully one day i'll get the flexibility to try different things with smaller cameras someday heheh. also, i got to film with my smartphone on my helmet once, i adapted a handlebar smartphone mount on top of the helmet and the result was quite nice!

[@josuezuniga6776]

Huge amount of knowledge in this video, awesome

[@TerryB]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Sir-Kay]

Does the Rode wireless GO II or DJI wireless mic sync with the Insta 360 camera? if not, what mic is recommended for that camera?

[@TerryB]

I don't use that camera.

[@cassidyarrington4572]

Awesome video terry❤

[@TheHy6xD]

thank you! i probably never film cycling, because I don't even have time to cycle and fear cars on the road, but maybe some day I will take a vacation and go somewhere to cycle and film, I will rewatch this video again and buy a DJI (I guess). love motion blur too!

[@SVfg088]

Thanks for instruction, Terry Sound! I'm going to look for a Dji 🎤

thanks terry you da man

[@cvstodia]

El. Ideo que estaba necesitando. Gracias! Mejórate mi audio ❤❤❤

[@copenhagenizeblacktown]

Hey terry, do you encounter major audio-video time differences when GoPro creates seperate video files within long recordings between the video and synced seperate audio?

[@TerryB]

Yeah it has a few mill secs of delay on long clips. The 11 and 12 create longer clips so it’s a bit easier to line up

[@manwithnoname6580]

For those of us who go lone riding, would you prefer the GoPro or the DJI pocket 3 ? Thanks

[@annag1303]

Great content and the quality ❤ Terry I’m cheering for you to get 1million subscribers very soon ❤

[@TerryB]

Thanks so much

[@Brooklynrider1]

I have a GoPro 9 and when I use the chest mount, I cannot get both the handlebars and the horizon into view, it’s one or the other. Thats why I’ve been filming with the camera on the handlebars.

[@TerryB]

Your chesty is probably too low and you’re using the wrong fov. Time to experiment…

[@Brooklynrider1]

@@TerryB I just adjusted the straps so the camera sits higher on my chest. I will experiment with the FOV settings. Thank you very much for your help!

[@yaki967]

Thank you for these tips. Really, few KZbinrs talk about this matter, but I have a question. What do you think about taking pictures with a mobile phone on the chest, iPhone or any other mobile phone that has good photography? Will it be good for photography as action cameras do? And another question: What do you think of Insta360 cameras?

[@conduffql]

Thanks homie. Cool video

[@jackattacky]

I wish you would have included showing some of your camera rigs from the past. I always loved seeing the big ones like in your profile pic

[@TerryB]

[@Wannaridebikes]

Great tips. Me my self I’m so forgetful to reset my go pro to daylight to night time.

[@TerryB]

You and me both!

[@RolandRides]

I love to see low fps because it looks fast and cinematic but on the other hand doing 60fps for documentation purposes is way better. I wish there would be a lossles conversion but I didn't manage to do it in Davinci Resolve. It lags when downsampled.

[@TerryB]

Why do you think 60fps is better for documenting?

Helmet manufacturers discourage camera mounts as it compromises crash protection. Escape collective have discussed this many times on their podcasts.

no crashing allowed. Nicotine is also highly addictive. Don't do zyn kids.
