Had a really fun 25 mile labor day ride today, and decided to bring my ucc along, and try it with my GoPro Hero hd. The hand-held pov is also great with the gopro because of the ultra-wide angle lens, which fits so much into view from such a short distance. (The video thumbnail below was from when the camera was a mere 2" from the wheel!)

I much prefer the hand-held freedom of being able to pan the camera in various directions, giving it flow and variety, versus attaching the camera to a static mount somewhere on the uni or bike. The GoPro is great in this regard.

If your connection is decent, I highly recommend watching in HD and full screen!

Where did you get this cable system again?

Sweet videos as always.

Thanks. I came up with the idea and designed it about a year ago. It's really cool because the camera follows you, or you follow it, and it's just so smooth! the best part is that it is 100% portable, everything fits in my backpack, and I set it up and do it all totally solo.

Doesn't look that hard to make, I've been wanting to get one of these set-up due to the lack of "camera-holders" I could find around here.

Another idea I had in mind was aerial footage via RC helicopters and attached sports-action cams.
