I am trying to imagine. I cycle along and keep the runner in the centre view of camera while not seeing the view from the camera? Is that possible? Am I missing something or have the totally wrong concept? Really I do appreciate your help but I dont quite get it.

@FruitFlakes thank you for you suggestion. But thats not what I need. The best example I can think of, though not perfect, is the camera footage you get when there is a photo finish at the end of a horse race. Thats much more detailed than I need, but the camera is pointed in one direction...

Now I will need to go on a Cycling forum to get a recommendation for a bike.......... ;)

Thanks @simon ess ! In fact we dont have running track access, we can do better as we have an airfield runway. Much easier for me to stay upright!

@vintageman thank you. I will take a look.

Stride length is easily measured, in fact we dont need to measure it. All running watches record cadence so its simple maths using that together with time and distance ran to calculate stride length. However, thats not relevant to my search for a video camera. You might be getting into deep...

Thanks James. Thanks for the suggestion, but no. Treadmill running is very different to road running,

Thanks Pete, Our runners are all endurance runners (1500m to ultra ). I can't say what part of the gait we want to adjust until we can observe in some detail. My suspicion is that a slow motion video will reveal a lot of overstriders and need for triple extension development. It's important to...

@andrewc Thank you. Not just for your input but alos becuase your answer has directed me to say a little more about the video footage I need and might explain more about why some of the help I have been given seems to infer I need to be moving. The majority of the filming and analysis is...

@Diving Pete So I have searched on you tube for gopro being used for this sort of analysis. Cannot find anything. Lots of runners attch the camera to themselves, but obviously thats not whats needed. The closest I came was a coaching video where the participant said you need a pal standing...

Righto @Diving Pete - I stand to be convinced! Just can't imagine how the camera will be sufficiently stable to take a video while moving on a bike. Its the detail I need. Will try and find some videos on you tube using gopro

Good effort! Thank you. But no, I will be standing still with the camera on a tripod. Not as much fun but there we are!

Hello, I am a qualified running coach who knows nothing about cameras. The objective is to take videos of runners, outdoors, so that the runners posture can be later analysed in slow motion and feedback given to the runner. (I can use video editing software to crop the video, run in slow...
