I'm a rider based in Japan. I film almost every ride with an Insta360 360 camera, and these pages are the English versions of what I've learned actually using them — on the bike, on trips, and in the edit.
Everything here is based on cameras I bought and use myself, with footage I shot. The rest of this site is in Japanese.
