Whatever this is, please go get it for your Go-pro! I might start watching bike videos again.

wow that actually makes me want to get a FPV camera now. What a difference that makes.

They use them on the quadcopters, excellent use on a bike though.

I just checked the price for one of these over here, nearly as much as a gopro - so at present the price for the complete package just puts me off, brilliant or not.

There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.

Gimbals better get prolific quickly. I've now officially been ruined from watching shaky POV cycling videos ever again.

Ride, don't slide.

I like much better. Shows bike handling, screen shakes less. Wife says she would watch mtbr ride videos with me if they looked like this so that she doesn't throw up as much.

Looks pricey, prone to breakage, and potentially dangerous. The gimbal makes awesome videos, but I wouldn't want to wear it for more than 1 run. What about hyperlapse technology, anyone tried that? I've just downloaded to free version to play around with.
