Valentine's Day Ride - Warlingham to Box Hill

Описание: Hi All!

Firstly - apologies for the sound quality in this video, I go to some length to explain this further down.

The weather in the UK has been very inclement this year, which means that this is only my second ride since January. We were very lucky to get a beautiful day for riding on Valentine's Saturday, and I managed to nip out for a little zoom from my town (Warlingham, Surrey) over to a beauty-spot in Surrey called Box Hill. Along the way I "salute" every pub and restaurant as I buzz my way past them with a name banner, so that you can look them up for future reference if you so wish.

This video has no music, since it's function is more to log this trip and also to try out some video editing techniques. For this particular video I have decided not to edit out boring bits (of which there are plenty, it's only NOT boring if you are doing the riding yourself!), but speed them up 4x with adaptive audio so that the sped up footage doesn't sound like an army of angry hornets. I have also left in all the wind noise where the built-in audio noise reduction of my Insta360 X3 gets overpowered completely, because trying to filter out the wind noise made the resultant audio totally unusable. Next time I'll use my Zoom H1 to record ambient sound instead (I fully intended to do so for this trip, but I forgot), and use the Insta360 audio for sync only. Next video will hopefully be better! :-D

Thanks for your patience, and enjoy the footage!
