Insta360 Motorcycle Mounting Ideas

Since I began posting my Insta360 motorcycle videos on social media, the most asked questions are “How do you get that shot? Who is controlling the drone to capture the footage? Is someone riding on a bike next to me? How many cameras are you using?”

But the number one inquiry is… “Where is the camera mounted?”

Using the Insta360 One R cam has really allowed my social media and editorial content value to increase exponentially. It is just more fun and more entertaining to view 360 footage, especially when it’s done right. “Doing it right” includes a number of factors: the quality of the ride that your filming, tracking, perspectives, lighting, editing, etc… All of the normal factors that are accounted for in top-notch video content are equally important here. But when you are filming with a 360 camera, your mounting points require a bit more attention.

I learned where the most effective methods of mounting my Insta360 One R on my bike mostly through trial and error. But even before I received my own setup, I reached out to my good friend, Anna Rigby AKA Red Spade and asked the very same aforementioned questions.

It was Anna’s footage that really motivated me to get a 360 set up for myself. And once it arrived, it was an immediate addiction. I gave my GoPro cams to my sons as I no longer needed them… I’m 360 with it, now! Whooo!

And the more I posted 360 footage, the more questions came in. So I reached out to Anna and she put together this fun and informative pictorial on Insta360 Action Camera mounting ideas.
