Made by a rider in New York.

I’m Tron Schell. I ride around New York City with a DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro on my bike, and I wanted my videos to show what the ride felt like: the speed, the climb, my heart rate.

The tools I found were expensive, looked dated, or wanted my footage in the cloud. So I built GaugeReel: a desktop app that puts your real data on your video, on your own computer.

A frame from Tron’s Central Park ride, with speed, heart rate, cadence and route gauges from the Strava activity
Central Park, shot on my Osmo Action 5 Pro. Every clip on this site is mine, with gauges rendered by GaugeReel from my own rides.

What “independent” means

GaugeReel is built and run by me, not a big company. For you, that means:

A real person answers
Email support@gaugereel.net and you get me, not a ticket bot.
Your footage stays yours
GaugeReel runs on your computer. It never uploads your videos.
Free stays free
No watermark and no time limit. The paid plans are what keep the lights on.

Questions, bugs, a ride you want to show off: I read everything.
