The action camera debate has never been hotter than it is right now. With at least two solid brands and multiple camera options it's tough to know where to start. To make things worse, once you actually settle on a camera, there are WAY too many settings to figure out.

I've been on the GoPro train since the Hero 4 so for me I just stick to what I'm the most comfortable with. In this case that has lead me to the new GoPro Hero 12 for all my "action" oriented filming needs.

The highest quality point of view shot has always been the goal. For my mountain biking application with the Hero 12 I have narrowed down my field of view options to three different "modes" or "settings."

Hyperview (standard lens)
Max Superview (max lens)
Max Hyperview (max lens)

There are pros and cons to each and in this video you get an example of each. Let me know what you think is the best view!

The bike is a Canyon Spectral 29er and I'm using the GoPro chesty mount with a foam cover on the camera to reduce wind noise.
