What makes good CMP ride along video?

[Keith Webb]

I really like the ones in the cab 12 where the wide angle of the GoPro works well. An important element is the sound and it seems to have worked quite well there, even though the sound quality on those cameras leaves a lot to be desired.
The wide angle is also a consideration when looking back from another vehicle - you need to be very close to make it work well.
The first shots inside the cab 13 are a little problematic due to reflections on the glass - the camera is evident so I think opening the windscreen would perhaps be better whilst sacrificing the audio.
The C8A is good because you can get a different perspective because of it's depth.
Ideally a number of GoPro cameras simultaneously would be good so you can cut in sync from different angles.
Have you tried finding a mounting point on the chassis so you can see the wheels and suspension working?
Great to see your experiments Phil!
