My wife bought me a Remali camera for my birthday. It’s $100 with three batteries, a waterproof case and a variety of mounts. Only thing lacking is a memory card. Since we were trailer camping when she gave it to me, I popped into a CVS and bought a 64gb card for $40. That’s enough for eight hours.

its only been a week but I’ve already learned a lot. Namely...

• mounting it on the bike can be jittery. Stabilization software can only do so much, especially if the camera is bouncing around at a good percentage of the frame rate. Suspension and big tires can help but having it on your person helps more
• You want to film at full resolution, that will help later in editing
• you need to remember where or when things happened so you can find them later editing. This is easy same day but seems like it would be hard after a tour
• sometimes you film only seconds of entertainment in an hour of filming
• Editing good enough for your friends and family isn’t too hard. I downloaded DaVinci Resolve
• i haven’t yet cracked the code of how to make videos look good on YouTube. The video compression seems just awful. Maybe pros have better accounts
