Have both cameras in the same mode or when downloading it would only allow the majority of filming in the lessor quality.

It was a lesson learned to have both cameras set the same.I had bought a camera holder for my bike, however the arm was too short. Every time I would try and get on and off the bike, it would hit the camera. It also had to be tilted in a way that I really couldn’t see what I was filming.It was our first time videoing while riding bikes. I was overly concerned about the camera falling off. I felt like I couldn’t ride the bike, how I would normally ride.The shots look like I can’t ride a bike lol. When in fact Jason and I have done serious bike trials in the past.4.
