Good riding good gob I wish I was in thredbo

[@saintberry]

I was at Thredbo yesterday... The trails were in really good shape considering the amount of Easter traffic they had. I got some decent footage. Stay tuned.

[@JFRides]

Sweet dude 👍👍

[@PavoMTB]

Top quality footage as always 👌

[@matt_przibella]

nice video mate! trails look unreal for this season

[@Cooprides7836]

Yea Thredbo is my favirote mountain bike park but when I go back to my local bike park the jumps are tiny

[@doncartel69er]

nice video mate ! what gimbal are you using? also how do you get it to follow you around really fast sharp turns and not just stay straight

[@saintberry]

I'm using a Feiyu Tech WG2. It's not the best wearable gimbal, but pretty good for the money you pay. As for following me around corners I turn speed on the axis motors up and also the "dead zone" down to as low as possible. The latter is the key. It's basically how far the camera can move on an axis before it starts following. If you remove the dead zone the gimbal has a better opportunity to keep up. As you can see it's not perfect, but pretty good.

@@saintberry awesome dude ! thanks for the heads up... I recently bought the same but a WG not WG2 and your footage is way better than mine. Ultimately I am just recording for myself, but it's a bummer because it doesnt follow too well and I'd like to record proper for weekends away as I only get away once or twice a year.... The adjustability is not as good as the WG2 because the WG doesnt have an App that is easy to use. It has a convoluted USB software

[@saintberry]

@@doncartel69er It took me a while to play around to find out what worked and what doesn't. GoPros can be fickle, especially in low light. I had footage from a Queenstown trip that was unusable! Keep messing around, you will get there.

[@doncartel69er]

@@saintberry Thanks bud ! that's what happened for my recent stromlo weekend unfortunately... Will keep playing around !!

[@willcarlaw9746]

Get mate, I'm going to these summer hols, how long do u reckon u need there to ride and get to know the trails?

[@saintberry]

Not long at all. You will get the flow in a run or two and maybe a little longer for Cannonball and AM. Have fun!

[@vhladthemaddad]

Sweet video and awesome riding mate! !!👌🏽 how do your get youtube to keep your videos crisp? My 1080p is not as clear as your 1080p 🤔

[@saintberry]

The best thing to do is to make sure KZbin will encode your video with the vp9 codec. If you upload 2.7k or 4k video it should do it automatically after a few hours.

[@ciaranmccormack3634]

Which course was that, is it the all mountain track?

[@saintberry]

Yep. First trail was AM and second Flow. There are bookmarks if you expand the description that show you when.

Dont need the gimbal mate, the hero 7 black is perfect without
