Fov Whats Yours.

[lupin]

Wondering what settings others are using.

Mostly for helmet cams. I have my gopro on the bars set wide as possible, but I'm starting to think my helmet cam needs to not be quite as wide. I'm finding things I see when riding just seem too far away on the cam.

So what do you have yours set at.

Anything that doesn't involve a digital zoom/crop to change the fov

my drifts on the max... otherwise I can't see much of the road nor bike and nice to have both in view. Although mines positioned to the right of my helmet so mounting position makes a difference too.

The S is only 160 anyway

 

[Mr Miles]

Aye wouldn't want it any less

The Ghost S is a disappointment. I would have expected more FOV from the top of range camera. Not less.

But I prefer more FOV, like the SuperView on GoPros

 

[Mr Miles]

Just a shame that the other path leads you riding around with a brick attached to your head.

Superview on the Chin.

 

[BbqRider]

As wide as possible. Don't know about medium, but a regular camera FOV on a moving bike looks absolute s**t

 

[SighBored]

If solo riding, FoV is probably Superview or wide. If group riding, maybe wide or medium. Never used narrow.

The tussle between trying to get more into the frame -VS- fish-eyed distortion of the image -VS- the distance away from objects making you having to get really close to the bike or whatever in front.

What is the max fov of the go pro? I wasn't able to find it in a quick google search. I think the 160 degrees on the drift s is pretty good. You can only add like 10 more degrees or so before you can't go any higher(although it would be cool to have like a 360 degree lens that you could just swap in)

Well the Drift HD1080 was 170° and there is a noticeable difference between that and the 160° on the Ghost S. The GoPro is around 170° as well but the SuperView option records in a 4:3 aspect ratio and stretches it into a 16:9 giving you more FOV up top and bottom.
