Camera needs to be level with top tube.
That's a good place to start
Ok since this is coming up..
Borrowed a go pro from my dad a little while back, first video I tested totally forgot to turn off wide angle and there was incredible distortion.
I redid one a few weeks back (card in surface at home not on work laptop so can't post).
What I did was find the distance from the ground for my lowest pedal stroke and slightly above where I would be checking my hip. I then figured out the center point of the low and high point taking into account where that would be in relation to the ground since the camera wasn't floating in the air.
I placed the camera on the suction mount and a stool, which ended up without any adjustment putting it within a half inch of that point if I recall correctly. I also took a measurement off my gym flooring edge that would allow me to center the camera front to back in the middle of the stroke. Then leveled the camera and shot the video like that.
Was that way overkill? not enough? completely wrong?
