How are you able to get rearward video?
Very carefully! :lol:
OK, I made this video with one GoPro recorder. That's why this video has all views from behind the rider. I didn't plan to record but brought long one recorder just in case.
Usually I use 2 Go Pro recorders as I have 2 that I use. I have some videos like the one with my SIL David. I hold it in my hand on a small 6 inch tripod. That allows me to pan around. That is how I can get him from behind then swing around and record us on the tandem too. Some of the more steady shots are with the front recorder mounted on the handle bars. If i use 2 recorders, it takes me extra time to go through all the clips and try to put them together chronologically.
Some other rear view shots I have *(where I don't pan) are from the second recorder mounted under my seat on the seat rails with a GoPro mount.
So if you take note, when I have the steady back shot of riders behind me, the recorder is mounted under the seat. That is hwy these videos don;t have panning around 360 degrees. Cause I am not holding the second recorder in my hand on these rides, it's mounted under my seat facing rearward.
1:20 into the video, straight rear shot, the recorder is mounted under the seat on this ride.
