Total Distance 21.3 miles. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take the Gopro Hero 7 Black for a spin when the shop I work for bought one. After this test I think I'll definitely be getting one.
We didn't mess with much, set it at 1080p 6fps, left the audio on auto, strapped it to the Chesty and took off. Once I get one for myself I'll definitely be messing with the settings a bit more to fine tune everything and I'll be getting a wind sock for the mics! But this is definitely a set up I can get along with.
I originally planned to tell some sort of story with this footage before I set out to film it but after getting dropped from the group earlier than expected on my Trek Remedy 8 full suspension trail bike I decided it made more sense to just showcase the go pro footage for those who are interested.
Why am I riding a full suspension 32lb enduro bike on a road group ride? Because it's fun! I have taken everything from the 920 to both Trek Staches to even my fat bike on the group ride with pretty good success. Getting dropped so quickly (20min) wasn't so much the fault of the bike but the route and weather. We had a headwind, heading up a long slight grade and to make matters worse those on the front were pushing the pace past 22mph a little too early for me. I'll have to take it out again in the fall. For the rest of the summer I'll take the Trek Checkpoint (like I did the previous week).
When I get my own I will definitely try to take it on much more interesting rides but the hypersmooth stabilization and overall image quality really blew me away and I think it will do a great job for my purposes. I've heard about issues with low light and obviously the audio can be a bit finicky but I think I can work around those things with the benefits far outweighing the cons.
