Why do you use the Garmin Virb and not GoPro and what other cameras do you use when you're filming in your "studio" or from a car or motorcycle (often when you do the intro while riding and the camera is facing you). Also what mic's do you use when cycling and on which software do you edit your footage?

LOL!! "He came within 12 feet!"

I wonder how much it'll cost to buy a bike if it was made by Gamin - perhaps a billion pounds. The same applies to their cameras, GPS devices..etc
-
Hi GCN please can you review cameras for personal safety....I have had two cases of motorist overtaking with insufficient clearance and also holding the horn continuously whilst passing i.e. trying to cause me to crash or fall off. I am NOT interested in uploading the pictures for any reason however I (and possibly many others) do want to feel safer from threats from abusive drivers. If the minority of dangerous drivers, like Dean Goble, are dealt with due to evidence (film footage) being available then perhaps the roads will become safer.

Does anyone know which Garmin camera they are using?
-
I wish Amy Winehouse was alive to do a cover to this song
-
The descent wasn't crotch cam I thought it was Helmet cam
-
Add: Wipe rag to clean lens during ride because you will sweat on the camera guaranteed.

Thanknyou reallt really helpful!!;)))

Is there any way to rig up a cam to give a 3rd person view of me riding? I want to capture some footage of some of my descents, but I'd like the viewers to be able to see me riding as well - at least from the waist up, so they can see when (and if) I'm pedaling.
I've see a few guys rig up something using a selfie stick, I think... -
What camera was used? I want a camera to record just for my own leisure and see if i can improve etc on my mountain bike but I don't want something too expensive pref under £100 as I don't want to fall and lose the camera and my helmet
-
how did you film yourselves at 4:22?

Hi guys I have an Avanti monza which is approx 8 to 10 yrs old been well looked after and well serviced by great group of guys at TBE and jcc here in Perth is it worth putting new wheels on my bike , iam not sure what the bike is worth or just go and buy another bike looking at full carbon.
Waiting for you're reply , thanks.

Filming from the head is bad for those like me who move their head around a lot.
-
Can I get a free GCN cycling jersey? I'll wear it everywhere and put the shirt on film!
-
But i dont have an action camera hahahah :D
-
expensive camera mounts really make a difference? the mounts i have are really tight connected to the handlebars and every uneven road results in a very shaky video..
-
This show is great, always, and the above title is no exception! Really appreciate the tips on filming and the fun you always show. The card sized at 32 and 64 Gb with filming at a preferred 60fps along with filming positioning pros and cons all new to me and very much appreciated! Keep up the best of bread show.

this was what I was looking for, some good ideas here thanks.
Handlebar cam is a bad idea, all you get is wobble -
I am very curious about what equipment do you use on a motorcycle :) And what do you use to record audio.
