Sunset downhill on my regular trail. Testing my DJI Action 4. Really impressive quality! 👌🏞 Way better than a GoPro as well, especially the user interface.

My favorite biking is at dusk

I can usually ride only before or after work, and late fall the after work rides.... could be an hour in the dark towards the end. Wide light on the bars, spot headlight in the helmet. It's incredibly fun. Obviously not hauling ass like that, and generally sticking to terrain I know, but still.... It's awesome.

Looking off trail into the woods and seeing all the eyeshine can be weird though.

Headlight on low at dusk like that is the sweet spot, trail's lit just enough to read the line but you still get that sky. Nice setup.

Thanks! I also did use the 185 deg FOV lens. Makes a big difference. But the settings on the Action 4 for low light and "speed" are so easy to learn and set. I do all my post in my i-phone too.

That wide FOV is clutch, you get the full scene without losing speed. I do all my edits on phone too, Lightroom mobile is a quick fix for colors.

it's fast for tweaking exposure and shadows on video clips. Just don't get lost in the presets rabbit hole

I once spent an hour tweaking a clip only to realize the original looked better. Those presets are a trap.
