There are always some close calls here when cycling here. I think because Suriname is mostly cars, people don't watch out for bikes and motos like they do in Cambodia or other similar countries. It seems like I'm climbing because when I cycle I am always trying to push the pedals my hardest, and when editing the video I noticed it doesn't make for smooth footage.
I learned a lot on this trip, but my RAM and software cause video editing to be a long process, often small errors aren't noticed until after the file is saved, which took three hours in this case. I originally wanted to do a slo-mo, but when I sped this footage up it got even worse, so I figured I'd just upload in full and let people click around and jump through the video.
You're right about the handlebar mount, a good idea in theory but not as smooth as a motorcycle handlebar footage would be. I think bicycling is too wobbly, so I'm experimenting now with a mount behind the rear seat, footage is already much more engaging. I think if I capture smoother footage the editing technique you mentioned will look really good. !ENGAGE 70
