Hi i've got a x100vi and I would like to take it with me on gravelrides. I saw on instagram an ad for a 3 point cycling camera strap from lumiere & co that looks really good and convenient but its not in stock till maybe june it looks like. So while I wait for that I was questioning that maybe there are better straps or alternative methods of taking the x100vi or a comparable camera with me on rides with a nice balance of comfort of riding, safety for the camera and convenience of accessibility.

Any photographers and bike riders that bring their camera on trips, what do you use?

Hi completely new rider here and while I was riding my gravelbike in the forest and needed to climb a steep hill I was in a too high gear and needed to step off. While I realized that I was in a too heavy gear the thought popped in my head to shift to a lighter gear mid climb but I was standing full force on the padels and I was afraid this would damage the shifting mechanisme to shift with so much force on the padels while not really rotating.

Is this true or is it the right move to shift in this case? I got a canyon grizl cf 8 di2 with a shimano deore XT di2 if it makes any differance.

Thanks!
