Love Or Hate This Angle?

Do you love or hate this angle? What do you think?

It would look badass if it were on the exposed side of a Mt. Wilson trail.

I like it. Wonder how many zip ties were required to mount it?

I made the "under the bars" angle famous some years ago. IMO, it's good if you are creating an edit with multiple angles but alone, on occasion it's just fine. I wouldn't want to have an entire library of videos with only that angle, though.

There’s no doubt that diagonal lines create visual interest. Because the bulk of what we see are vertical and horizontal lines. But an ongoing video of a tilted horizon might take it too far for viewers. I found it interesting, but I don’t watch many riding vids.

When you ask people's opinions you will get just that, lots of opinions.
To be honest, I dug it. I liked the perspective. But I also agree that one angle is too predictable after a while and it is great to have a couple camera's mounted to get the same trail edited into one from a couple angles.
You should build you bike to be like those camera trucks for the movies and mount like 10 GoPro's on it...

I like the camera position, but the cropped frame is hard... I've also been known yell at my wife when she holds the phone in "portrait" orientation to take video.

The coolest thing about that truck is it’s bike shuttling capacity.

Still tinkering, here is a little bit of an exposed spot, I found because the camera is on it’s side there is not enough wide angle?

But I do like the mountain side of the mount.

Might be good for chunky monkey also due to seeing more of the front tire smashing?

Maybe someday the newest E-bikes will come with a camera mount, or something inside the the head tube?
Thanks for fixing the title!
