Cycling Petagas to KK 19 Oct2021

Gopro, even Hero4 is still better than a mobile phone.

I noticed that after processing with Adobe Premiere Pro in 4K, the output in 1080p is of the same size.

The processing time is also short because I used Fast Analysis that I find good enough.

In order to fit into the manually adjusted Crop effect at 10% to the right, 15% to the bottom, I need to reduce the smoothing % from 100 to even 35 but I do not notice much difference in the removal of shakes.

I made a major error in taking the video. I should have pointed more to the sky instead of downwards.

It is partly due to the way I mounted the Hohem gimbal. It kept on pointing downwards because I cannot tie the gimbal to restrain it more from pointing downwards.

The reason the Gopro can reduce more shake is because of the wide angle. Another method is to take far distances only because at far distances, the vibrations should be less obvious. The effect is that there is less cropping when smoothed using Premiere Pro, or any electronic stabilization.

 In summary:

1. Take wider angles

2. Take far distances.

So no need to buy a GoPro 8 or DJI Osmo Action. A Hero4 should be good enough when mounted on a gimbal.  What is needed is to find a proper mount for the gimbal.

Bottom Bracket Standards and Terminology

https://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/bottom-bracket-standards-and-terminology Sep 18, 2019 / Bottom Brackets Bottom Bracket Standards and Terminology Over the years, the bicycle industry has created numerous bottom bracket standards. Unfortunately, the industry has not been clear and consistent when creating terms and names for them, sometimes creating several names for the same bottom bracket standard. This article will review the many bottom bracket standards on bicycles. 1 Introduction The bottom bracket is held inside the part of the frame called the bottom bracket shell. With use, the bearings will wear out and require replacement. Replacement part compatibility can be a complex issue. When in doubt, check with the bike manufacturer, the component manufacturer, or local bicycle repair prof

The bottom bracket shell of a bicycle is the part of the frame where the spindle of the cranks go through. The bottom bracket and spindle together form the foundation of the drivetrain on your road bike or mountain bike. All the different standard dimensions can make it hard to determine what kind of bottom bracket shell your frame has and what bottom bracket bearings you need. How can you even tell what bearings and bottom bracket shell your frame has? This extensive how-to explains exactly what you need to do in order to service and replace your bottom bracket bearings yourself. The bottom bracket bearings are sometimes referred to as just the bottom bracket as well. Whenever we talk about replacing your bottom bracket, we’re referring to the actual be

Installing DNP 11-34T threaded freewheel

Image
I ordered the DNP 11-34T threaded freewheel from the official store of  Drift Maniac. It has a rating of over 99% which you need because Aliexpress is no longer on the side of buyers. Aliexpress accepts resolutions where the seller requests the item to be returned at the buyer's expenses. I read reviews of this item in Amazon.com and they are good. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005001670160452.html Better order the tool if you have a shorter version because the shorter version of the freewheel remover does not allow spanners to grip its edges. The range of this freewheel is from 11-34T compared to Shimano Megarange that only manages 14-34T. Using the 11T as the highest gear made it hard to turn the rear wheel but downhill and ebike allows us to maximise our pedaling energy. I installed this freewheel using Shimano Tourney TX35 rear derailleur standard version despite my bicycle requiring a hookup mount. It means that I need a derailleur hanger which is supposed to be s
