Gimbal Experiment 1: Bar mounted (top)

So not the most exciting video, but my first time using a gimbal with my GoPro Hero 6 Black. It was really fun to watch, so much so I thought more than a few times that I should probably pay more attention to where I was going than the camera. It didn't always bring itself back to horizontal immediately but it eventually made it there. 

Equipment used:
-GoPro Hero 6 Black (1080p) (https://amzn.to/2ZD5SC8)
-FeiyuTech WG2X 3-axis wearable gimbal (https://amzn.to/2zGgnKe)
-Minoura handlebar camera mount (https://amzn.to/2ZKlgfW)
-Bulls Lacuba EVO E45 ebike (https://www.bullsbikesusa.com/lacuba-evo-e45-step-thru.html)

Pros:
-Super smooth video, even on the shaky parts (downhill on the underpasses, especially)
-When cornering the camera stayed fairly level
-Able to adjust the gimbal so the camera was parallel to the ground, even though my bars are curved.
-No motor noise from the gimbal

Cons:
-Gimbal sometimes took a while to return to horizontal
-Battery life could be an issue;. In this case the gimbal had started with a full charge but had been sitting for a few days. It quit at the end of this video but seemed to come back to life a few minutes later so I did get in additional recording time.
