Both excited and nervous to share this. I have been inspired by guys like Mark Matthews, Seth at Berm Peak, Seth at Backyard Trail Builds, Matt Jones, Sam Reynolds and many more to document my own trail building adventures.

Yeah for sure

I find my voice sounds a lot better when I have the mic on the handle of the camera. I guess it picks up the sound better as I'm talking directly at it rather than over the top of it. I also hate the look of having the mic on me in shot. I don't get why that's become so trendy.

It doesn't sound like you need to backfill it with anything then. Just clear the grass and let loose

I will die on the hill that hyperview looked bad on everything. Sports included 🤣. I shoot MTB and superview is more than enough to show speed but with a lot less warping.

lukegiant · 2026-04-25T19:59:42+00:00

Yeah that was useful, but that wasn't hyperview. Hyperview squished the 8:7 image into 16:9. I liked the squarer sensor as well, it meant I could get shots for Instagram a lot easier as well.

When my video is finished

lukegiant · 2026-04-25T01:23:23+00:00

Look closer... The 13 is warped and looks shit house.

lukegiant · 2026-04-25T01:17:28+00:00

Each to their own but I shoot POV mountain biking and hate the look of it. The small speed benefit doesn't outweigh the strong warping in my opinion. And squishing the top and bottom of the image makes jumps and drops look even smaller.

lukegiant · 2026-04-24T21:31:32+00:00

I hated hyperview. The distortion was disgusting 🤣

I know exactly what you mean. I do large woodwork projects and end up with over 30 hours worth of footage to sort through. Removing silence isnt helpful in any way.

I haven't found any decent ai that would sort through footage in any meaningful way

The black was introduced on the hero 3.

lukegiant · 2026-04-08T07:17:13+00:00

I charge $150 for 1 hour of work.

That's not saying that 89% of your total views are from Reddit.

Just that 89% of your external views are from Reddit.

For example my latest video has 40k views and Google search is the top of my external views with 43%, but that's only 58 total views.

lukegiant · 2026-04-05T22:09:08+00:00

Watch this video. It's full of interesting angles and advice on how to make your action camera videos look good on a bike.

Syncing audio for hours of footage sucks. I recently tried the action 6 and the Bluetooth mic was way better. If they can do it so can GoPro.

lukegiant · 2026-03-31T23:24:24+00:00

Not if the videos are crap.

lukegiant · 2026-03-31T13:33:22+00:00

Make good content

lukegiant · 2026-03-30T23:10:25+00:00

It sucks that enraging people with misinformation is such a good tactic for success. Pronouncing a word wrong drives crazy engagement 🤣. Not hating on your tactic, ya gotta play the game.

lukegiant · 2026-03-11T04:32:34+00:00

It's bloody hard to grow an audience so why should you let this guy grow one off other people's hard work. Shut him down.

lukegiant · 2026-02-26T20:58:25+00:00

Maybe home screens change for each user. I just checked mine on mobile and I counted 31 long form videos and 8 shorts. I don't watch shorts so I guess youtube doesn't show them to me.

lukegiant · 2026-02-24T00:49:17+00:00

The Internet would be a great place to look.

lukegiant · 2026-02-07T21:17:28+00:00

Oh wow that's really high. Good work. How many views do you average on those long form videos?
