For many motorcycle riders, the chopper epitomizes individuality, sleek styling and naturally a true muscle machine. Choppers traditionally are not made for hairpin turns or acceleration off the line.

Choppers are made for in town-riding and cruising the highways usually no more than a couple of hundred miles from their garage. Now, with choppers being relatively just a couple of percent of the entire motorcycle population, their appearance on the highway, local motorcycle event or just the local biker bar always creates a lot of attention and admiration.

DIY 360° video of your motorcycle rides

Best camera for getting 360° video of your motorcycle rides

360° video of your motorcycle rides – – This is a short demonstration video of using my Insta360 One x video camera on my 2017 Big Dog k9 clone. Because the camera films everything in 360°, you really don’t have to worry about aiming it at any specific point or in any direction.

When using the manufacturers app for editing the video you can decide what angles and what scenes or special effects are applied to the video. Once the video is edited, you can export it as a regular ‘flat’ video. With a normal video camera you could never get all these different directional shots. Actually, in order to do that, you would have to, let’s say shoot facing forward, then stop and remount the camera so it’s facing backward, then stop again, and change the camera to point out to the right side, etc.. With this camera, because everything is captured, you can decide what shots you want to include in the final video and also make some incredible special effects. Read more »

Insta360 One X Chopper Motorcycles Ride

Insta360 One X Chopper Motorcycles Ride

Is the Insta360 One X the best 360° video camera for your motorcycle rides? Well, in my humble opinion at the current time it definitely is!


This camera is very small fits in your shirt pocket and yet takes stunning 5.7 K video! The best advantage of using a camera like this for your motorcycle rides is the fact that it is like having a camera person riding along with you. You really don’t have to worry about pointing the camera at any particular subject or direction because at 360° camera like this films everything. In the software that the company provides you can then edit the video to show the views that you feel are most interesting.

When watching this video, at times you’ll see that it seems like the camera is floating over my helmet. In reality, the camera is attached with a GoPro type attachment to the helmet. Read more »
