Salomon Pulsar Trail Pro 2: Do We Really Need Plates on the Trails?

Hi there!
Welcome back to the channel! I am so much happier with how this video turned out compared to my first one. But I really need to get an external mic or wind removing software!
In today's run I showcase the Salomon Pulsar Trail Pro 2, as well as make some points as to whether or not plates have a place in Trail Running shoes.
If you' re interested in the shoe or have anything to chat about, I would love to hear from you in the comments!

Always best to also ask to comment 'helps with the algorythm' anyway .. nice detailed review of the shoe.

Re wind noise what are you using for recording generally ? Probably best not to make your main points when actually running I have found which I see you aren't doing all the time. Sound is fine when not running, not so good when you are I would say.

I use a DJI Action 2 camera on a little tripod. It' s a nifty little camera but the wind is a real problem. I had to delete so much otherwise good footage because it would have blown up your speaker.
Thinking of experimenting with a little DeadCat style microphone cover.
I like to do most of the talking while running though as it keeps a bit more flow and action in the video...

@@robin29991 one technique I occasionally do is a later voiceover but that all adds to the time. I keep a dead cat on my Rode Wireless mics and way forwards I think if can justify the outlay. That said native sound on my now old GoPro 10 isn’t too bad unless really windy.

Sounds like there’s a lot of refinement needed to the next version of this shoe! Texton X should be on your radar…. See how that forked plate works 👌

Definitely one I have my eye on as well as the Adidas Terrex Speed Ultra...

The Slab Pulsar 1 is one of my favorite shoes ever. I use it for runs up to 30 k. Not sure what Salomon's idea is with commercial version of the S Labs. They create a great shoe like the Pulsar, Genesis and Thundercross, and then bring out a less good version of it for the masses, for a couple of EUR less...I don't think it is a good idea

@@solvidias779 Oh yes, the S/Lab Pulsar really is in a league of it's own. I have the version 2 SG. It' s lighter than even most of the carbon road shoes.
