Good. The only thing that bothered me previously was movement during the solve, especially F2L. Almost gone here.

Perfect, thanks!

Looks great now, if you can angle it so that the cube is a bit more centered I think it would be just about perfect.

Thanks!

I honestly don't think I'll be using the gopro much, it's pretty uncomfortable to have on my head, and using it is just so much less convenient than using my regular camera.
 
Am I the only one that gets terrible times when trying to film a session? I'm getting more and more sub 15 averages and my PB's are a dream(from my view, of course). I'd love to "prove" it and have a video of a 14.xx or even 13.xx average, but I'm terrible as soon as I set up my camera. Today I got this:

number of times: 42/42
best time: 13.95
worst time: 26.27

current avg5: 23.89 (σ = 1.14)
best avg5: 16.65 (σ = 0.86)

current avg12: 19.94 (σ = 2.91)
best avg12: 17.75 (σ = 1.08)

session avg: 19.06 (σ = 2.20)
session mean: 19.22

This is a nightmare, and it's due to lock ups, badly executed or plain wrong algs, terrible LL recognition, unintentionally turning sides(like u instead of U, vice versa, or random S turns) and my ability to look ahead just not being present. It's like I never learned it.

I know it's pressure and stress making my hands shaky and all, but how do I get rid of it? I tried to calm down and tell myself to turn slower and look ahead. I turned slower, but still my ability to look ahead just seemed gone.
It's so frustrating, I even handled my first competition better than this. Does or did anyone else have this problem? If so, how do/did you deal with it?

Same, and I don't know what to do. I tried filming a 20 minute session once, when I was averaging 15. I had around 5 sub-15 times. I couldn't really post the video and ask for help when they weren't anything like my solves. Every part of my solve was bad: I couldn't look ahead, recog LL or execute anything without lockups.

So sorry, can't help :p

Happens to me with skewb. Just keep filming and you'll get that one good average.
 
Does anyone know a good mod/ tension/ anything else to prevent corner twisting on the MoYu AoLong? It's flippin amazing otherwise but I get cornertwists in about a 1/4 of my solves :(

Well today I tried just that. Best I could get was a 15.xx average. But even if I got that one good average, that doesn't really solve the problem does it? :/ I really shouldn't even film myself until I'm consistently sub 15. I have to relearn look ahead now, I almost lost it.
I think I'll just do that.

So, this just happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iv8tMHbA9Q

I think we have a "best troll" candidate already for this year's forum awards.
