Filming Mountain Biking with GorillaPod Hybrid and GoPro – Joby

French videographer/mountain biker Luka Bollonjeon uses just a GorillaPod Hybrid and a GoPro to create amazing videos of his rides through the French Alps. He is working on a video series titled Alone where he films himself biking through many different types of terrain. He’s found his GorillaPod to be the perfect companion on these adventures. Compact and adaptable to all kinds of environments, GorillaPod Hybrid is ideal for getting super cool off-body footage with a GoPro camera. We caught up with Luka to hear more about how he makes his fantastic videos!

Hello! I’ll introduce myself. My name is Luka, I’m 25. For the past two years, I’ve lived in the “capital of the Alps” Grenoble. My passion is to walk the trails with my faithful companions: my bike, my tripod and my camera.

Why do I bring a tripod and a camera on my bike rides? Because I practice self-filming. Self-film, what? Self-filming can be defined as the art of filming oneself, like taking a self-portrait in photography. In other words, if you have an oversized ego, this is not for you. Don’t worry, it is possible to make films just for fun to share your passion or your most beautiful trails. ened and hopvoila calves!

Self-filming requires a lot of time and effort. Time, because unfortunately, the cameras do not come down the trail on their own. Effort, because those cameras still do not set themselves up on their own. Once you ride past the camera, you must go back to look for it, grab it and carry it down to set up on another part of the trail.

To diversify your shots, you’ll need to have to a tripod. Like the GoPro camera, the most compact tripod is the most practical or filming on trails. The RollsRoyce of mini tripods is the GorillaPod—an articulated 30 cm capable of attaching to any surface. The combination of a Gopro and a JOBY GorillaPod will allow you to capture even the craziest self-filmed shot you can think of!

A hybrid bike is one that blends the best characteristics of both road and mountain bikes into a bike that is sturdy, comfortable and fast, and ideal for riding on streets and bike paths.
Features of a hybrid that come from mountain bikes:
a more upright frame, offering a more comfortable riding position
a stouter frame that can handle more weight -- in rider and/or cargo -- as well as absorb the day-in, day-out punishment of potholes, etc., that you might encounter in a commute
slightly wider tires for better traction and stability
Features that come from road bikes
lighter rims for faster riding
lighter components and taller gearing for going faster

Hybrid or a mountain bike.

You want a bike with knobby tires and upright handlebars. Both mountain bikes and hybrids fit the bill.
Here are the plusses and minuses of mountain bikes:
+: They typically come with wider wheels and knobbier tires, which makes them a bit slower on asphalt (vs. dirt). But knobbier tires are much less likely to get flats...a good thing when you're 10 miles from home with 2 kids.
-: They have front shocks, which aren't good quality.
Other than that, there isn't much difference that are important for your concerns.


Are hybrid bikes sterile?

I googled them and they look like the old fashioned bike I had as a kid, but with gears and hand brakes. I want one with balloon tires fat enough to float me across the potholes after a rain. I swear you could catch bass in some of these potholes. They ought to name them like lakes, it would probably increase the property value of the houses on the lake fronts! There's a new twist on potholes here too. There's one on the next street over from me that's a friggin ski jump. If you hit it on a bike you can go for either the high jump or the long jump. If you hit it from the other direction, I'll visit you in the hospital
