Motovlog Helmet Setup | Cheap, easy install audio & video

- CHEAP MOTOVLOG HELMET SETUP | ACTION CAMERA W/ MIC AUDIO
We'll walkthrough my non-permanent setup for moto vlogging, as well as two inexpensive options for audio. I have my Bell Qualifier equipped with a removable chin mount instead of a stuck on swing arm for my GoPro Hero 5, making it non-destructive to the helmet and easy to take on and off. The mic setup is a super affordable workaround if you're willing to record to an external device and sync up in post-production, which is quite easily done.
To reduce wind noise in option one, I've put in a chin curtain on the helmet and wrapped a thin piece of fabric around the microphone receiver.

Thanks for watching everyone! I have all of the accessories linked up in the description, but here's the link for those looking for the GoPro chin mount → amzn.to/2TB7RVX
I WANT MY ACE OF CLUBS LATTE DESIGN NOW!!!! LOL! I just ordered a bunch more of your beautiful designs from your store. I love that ALL your stuff is made and manufactured here in the USA from USA materials!! Beautiful quality designs Lady! When you make my ACE OF CLUBS LATTE, I will buy it all again Lady!
Thanks Meghan 😃
Wow this could make it more efficient and handy thanks Meghan the go pro chin mount is something i'll need to look for
@@dplaloo7891 It Works GREAT and is super easy to put on and take off without modifying my helmets. I cut the Point off at the bottom of the "Y" even with the bottom of my helmet.
I love your ....video blogging
I want to motovlog when I’m older and I know the grind will be massive so I have been showing all small channels love
Add my Channel brother!
Wow, this is the best video explaining practical audio tips without spending a lot of money. Thanks for sharing! I haven't figured out my audio while riding yet. Will try this out. cheers
I like your topics I'm also a local traveller using my motorcycle ang my old school suv and aspiring Vlogger..let the sunshine be with us.. God bless
This is exactly the tips and information I needed to get started - I was apprehensive about using adhesive to stick a GoPro mount to my helmet, I'm delighted this solution exists, and thanks for talking through the process! I was thinking of doing a similar microphone setup for the time being, so good to know that it works! Thanks again!
Ordered the chin mount. Works like a charm on my modular Shoei helmet. Tried using a chest mount with a gimbal but angle was too low. So chin mount, it is!
I think the chin mount works great! Sometimes my bike is cut out of the view, but that's because I film in wide instead of superview. It's all a matter of preference though.
Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺. Thanks for a very much needed video Meggy! Take care & keep it up!
Idk what GoPro was thinking with that big clunky pointlessly expensive adapter. This is a godsend. thank you
Looks like a nice set up didn’t realize how much work was involved with Making videos
And that's before you even start file management and editing! I'm glad I could shed some light on a bit of the process 😊
I've been reluctant to record audio from my rides because I'm mostly off road in the dirt and didn't want to expose my gopro to the elements to get the adaptor plugged in.
Great tip adding the lapel mic to the helmet and running it to your phone. I'll try it next time I'm out.
Great video really well explained thank you.
BTW... Your Ducati is perfect for you! You look great on it. I'm glad the next generation of riders and artists like the Cafe Style and Naked Bikes!!!! Awesome stuff Meghan!!! Keep up the great work!
This is a fantastic video! I motovlog and have always had an issue with mounting the GoPro on my helmet loved the mount in this video.
Agree :)
@@MotoMichelle 💯
Thx for this removable chin mount! It's amazing, now I can filming without damaging my beautiful shoei x-spirit 3. Like ❤️
Great video, thanks for all the info. I use the horn of my motorcycle to sync my audio, always works.
Smart!
Great video! I've been motovlogging on my quad since the start of the year and just bought a clean setup for my helmet. Your tips will help me from making rookie mistakes 😆 Thanks! BTW I subscribed so keep it up!
Awesome video Lady! Months ago I checked out your gear section and ordered the chin mount that you have. It works better than, like you said, more permanent mounts and it easily goes from helmet to helmet. Great Find!! I looked around a LOT and never saw that. I mount mine with the "Y" facing up and it allows me to open/close my chin vent on my Icon Airmada helmets. I cut the "Pointy thing" off on the stalk end. For Audio, I am playing with the Tascam DR-05 but never considered using my phone....DUHHH!! LOL! My phone is a LOT smaller! I'm using the Hero 7 Black and Silver cameras that require the Brick of a Mic adapter. I'll try it but, the phone or Tascam is probably better. I have a LONG way to go on my learning curve. Thank you for you fabulous videos Lady!! Great stuff coming from Wisconsin!!! Cheers!
TY Lady! Your channel is awesome.
God Bless to you and Ridesafe always... i used telesin chin mount for 5 months now... and thank you so much for given us idea on how to hack the alternative voice audio recording and yes you're right go pro adapter is so expensive... ridesafe
Nice, to the point helmet vlog demo. I constantly fight the wind noise. I will try your idea. Thanks.
So inspired by you. I'm doing my motorcycle license in the summer! Sooo looking forward to that 👏
Do the Class, get your license, and please ride with gear like Mehgan does. Riding gear can be just as cool as your bike! Ride safe and BE safe! More women need to ride motocycles.
Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom and what worked for you!
good tips on the audio.. that has been my weak link in quality
Notice me idol gimme shout out
Nice setup and good info. Just started my moto vlog channel and I am going to use your setup. Thanks Meghan.
Thank you for the tips, now i can listen to music while driving without worrying about tangling my earphones 😂👌
Awesome setup! 🔥Hope to see you on my garage!🤙🏻
Love your set up. Thanks for the tips. New subscriber from Philippines 🇵🇭
Thanks for the Tips. I use the same setup but instead of a Phone, I use an affordable Digital Audio Recorder (no! Not Zoom, Zoom brand is never affordable) but what I use can also record a Raw Wav file that can capture "1536-kbs audio pro standard" already, but my mic is a stereo Lavaliere (Lapel Mic), works perfect as well, very clear audio since the mic is inside the Helmet..
Thanks for tutorial. Im beginner for motovlog ang your new subscriber here in Philippines.
i noticed in your video that I am not the only one with the visor that attracts finger prints. Lol! By the way, great video! Cheers
Finally I saw a beautiful biker.
I have just started my motovloging, and doing the same setups as you are.
Fantastic video and definitely a game changer for motovlogging. I’m not overly fond of the external microphone hooked to my GoPro. Hooking to an external recording device seems like a great idea and gives more flexibility. Definitely cheaper than a Sena. I’ll definitely check out the chin strap too. Looks much better and comfortable than the sticky mounts. Thanks so much for sharing. I got a lot out of this video. :)
I forgot to mention that an added perk is that you can still use some of the audio that the GoPro collects outside of the helmet, which is great for the atmosphere or other people talking around you. Sometimes I switch between audio sources or layer them together. Thanks for watching!
Meghan Stark Ahh, another excellent nugget of information. Thanks for sharing. Great channel.
@@MeghanStark [Chinese man says] "You so smaat. You know so much. You so pretty" LOL
I think it installs it back!!
Hi from Mexico City!!
Cool setup! Hello from malaysia motovlog 🙌🏼💯
Thanks for the tips. I just started motovlogging myself and you gave me some good ideas :)
thank you for sharing your setup. After the quarantine, I'd like to try motovlogging. I have a camera but it's not gopro and it does not have a mic jack.
I have to record my audio using a recorder (probably not a mobile phone because , imo, it can only record up to 10 minutes.)
That's a pretty neat set up with that mount on the helmet! Personally a mount glued directly do the helmet does'nt disturb me and that why I can shut the visor completely which I almost always do.
I use about the same solution for audio too but simply cut the earbuds off and use a bluetooth version for music/noise reduction so I can have my phone free of cables while mounted on the bike. Nice Video!
I have this same mount on my Scorpion EXO and the visor sits all the way closed... Just depends on the helmet.
Great tip about using a phone for audio capture - so simple but I'd never have thought of it. Really like your bike too, although if I were to go that route it would be the 1100 Sport for me, I think.
Meghan Stark, your ingenuity with all the technology reminded me of a certain Marvel Super Hero, Tony Stark(Iron Man).
I have been motovlogging for about a year and recently changed my helmet cam from a hero 3 silver with sony cms-c3 mic to a hero 5 black using the same mic and had horrible results with popping and cracking, tried another mic Edutilige ETM-001, same problem, you just may well have solved my problem. I will try it out. Thanks!
Huge fan from Nepal
That's awesome i hope i have that bell helmet my dream helmet 😍 thanks for sharing that setup.
No problem 👍
@@MeghanStark I am small time vlogger, can you please shout out me on your next upload so your subs. Can noticed my channel and watch my videos so it can help me to achieve my qouta for google adsense
Cool helmet and visor
New subscriber from SPAIN. Love that hint about audio setup, never thought of that before. You rule! 😉
Great video!! Very informative!! Thumbs up
Solid set up 😎
Brandon Bicasso she is a GD genius
Thanks for your help with this matter and I love the idea of it 😍
One thing to remember is that you’re talking to us, and we’re in the lens of the camera. The way you were looking to the side of the camera felt a bit odd as a viewer. But still good info, good video, your stuff is great!
Sorry I had to keep making sure everything was in frame/see where I was pointing and I kept looking at my other camera perspective too. lol. When I do talking videos I usually just look right at the lens.
Nice! Ride safe and god speed
I would advise against buying a bell qualifier for sportbike riders. I have the DLX version and I've noticed that if I try to go full tuck the helmet impairs my vision. You also need to be more picky with any luggage you take in case your backpack pushes against the back of the helmet causing it to tip down and block your vision.
Great video! I have a very similar set-up for my helmet. I bought an adhesive mount though and it fits great. Ride safe.
Thanks a lot for the video!
Exactly what I was looking for! 🙏
Great video....thanks for some new ideas. Liked and subbed!
Thanks. Helps me with my setup for my channel👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Nice we have same set up... But still I don't have the adapter... God bless
Awesome video!
Great video!! I really hate how the GoPro 5 & up you have to buy a mic adapter. I seriously wish I would have gotten the GoPro 4, but after watching this I definitely learned a lot!!!
Waiting for my mount , although I just realized I probably won't be able to fit it beneath my bubble visor
very good explanation
thanks for share idea beautiful .. ridesafe Adios..
Very informative video.. good jog ,and thanks for sharing..
I did another order of your fabulous designs from your store at Great Lake supply. I now have everything you store has to offer.....EXCEPT, My Ace of CLUBS Latte design...LOL! Do this in all of your apparel, cups, stickers and I will buy them all! ACE of CLUBS!!! You are an angel Lady! Thank you for my Beautiful Merchandise! Peace Lady.
Hey there! Thank you so much for all of your orders, I'm glad you're enjoying the products and designs. I have a project further down the line that will involve some clubs, but for now the spade is my thing. I know you really like the clubs because of Ace Cafe, but I want to keep things pretty original! Once I release my new designs I'll make sure you know! These things take time as well, and I have a full time job too ;)
@@MeghanStark Hey there back! Your Ace of Spades is wonderful Lady! That's why I keep ordering your designs! Beautiful quality and designs. Your ace of Spades is a beautiful signature design that I cherish very much!!! I have never seen it's equal. Beautiful! I am a member of the Ace Cafe in London. I was Teasing you for an Ace of Clubs Latte for that reason. I was NOT trying to diminish your beautiful design in any way Lady! Yours is unique and I Love it!!!
I love that a woman can do a full time job, have a great interest in motorcycles, especially naked bikes, create great artwork and parley that into a business! God Bless you Mehgan! You are what this Nation needs!
TY Lady!
I cannot stop watching and laughing at you trying to drink your Coffee through your helmet Shtick!!!!! PERFECT TIMING, PERFECT DELIVERY!!!! The Doink on your Shield is the KILLER! The REAL KILLER for me was the way you looked at your cup as if there was something wrong with your cup!!!!! I think this was the funniest video I have ever seen! Every time I watch it, I can't breath for 5 minutes because I am laughing so hard! I have never seen any better humor except for the classic sight gags from the Old Days of film. Brilliant comedy lady!!! You and your ilk are what the World needs more of. Creative minds that respect the past and create a NEW future, using the past. YOU are that brilliant mind.
@@MeghanStark You mean, you actually work? Like, a real job?? LOL!! I'm self employed and I know the drill Lady. You will go very far in life with your personality, artistic ability and your wonderful mindset. The world needs more enterprising people like YOU!!! Keep doing what you are doing Lady!
Nice, I got the same helmet too..
Awesome video we should collab sometime this summer, currently in Italy till june but Ill be back the 1st of the month 👏🏻🏍
Very nice video and infortent👍
Hi! New subscriber here from Philippines! I do moto vlogging also with my Kymco Like 150i. I like how you improvise the headphone as audio recording for your motovlog! Very nice! I will try it in my helmet. 🤗😅
Thanks for ths... :) your the best 😍
Wow nice wonderful

Stay connected my new friend
Hi friend i support you KRAMYER MOTOVLOG from Philippines
Nice!
Impressive 👍
Well done!
tnx veryyyy muchhhhhh you the best
Good video thanks for sharing
Great job on showing and explaining your setup. I actually motovlog with a half-helmet, but that really only works, audio-wise, if you have a long beard haha.
Thats very great, can i have a hug or heart from you? I love your helmet..good job..
Great advice :)
Very good
Just use a few 3M tape and stack them up on uneven surface and the stick last one with the mount
Try to look at the camera lens more often, makes the experience more personal. Just a little viewer's tip :) Great content, keep it up! Ride safe!
Well this video was more about the helmet than anything and I had to look at it. 😅 In other videos I look at the lens more often. Thanks for watching!
@Meghanstark Nice idea and nice set up 👏I like you Idea very clever.
I got my first Bike and start riding in 2016 haha just like you did.
Got 8000 miles on my first bike and I Love naked bikes. 👍Mine is Yamaha Fz-07. I will subscribe and enjoy you videos. Ride safe. ✌️

Thanks for sharing your, Congrats 🎉 Happy #5KSubs Ride Safe😉
Bye the way Meghan, I'm buying more stuff from your store and I'm wondering...WHERE'S MY ACE OF CLUBS LATTE DESIGN??? Lol! Please, please please do an Ace of Clubs latte design. Please, please, please,.....
Hi...
Hi Meghan, great video. Can i ask what editing software you use and where you get your music ? thanks D
I use Adobe Premiere, which is really overkill for a video like this. I plan to do better edits in the future and actually leverage the software. My music comes from the TH-cam free music library and from Cullah, an amazing musician who offers his music for free and releases an album every year. cullah.com/
Thanks for watching!
Hey Meghan, thanks for your quick reply. I took a look at your website too, nice site and products fellow ducatisti
dang! subscribers blew up in such a short time! super jelly...I'm over here about to celebrate 1k subs hahaha...maybe I put too much work into my videos lol!
Meghan, thanks for the informative video. Sound continues to be an issue. On a long ride, how on earth do you sync up audio to 50 or 100 ten second snips of video? I shoot with a Hero 9, but I am leaning toward voice over after I get home and go to post production in iMovie. Thanks for posting this....
Voiceover might be best for your case if you're on a very long ride. I tend to keep my mic and video going the whole time in order to keep it synched, or I try to do some sort of a new sync up that's not precise but it gets the job done. I'll say action and do something with my hands (like close my fist palm facing the camera) as a visual queue. So audio runs the whole time, and video gets added back in as needed, and you cut out the dead audio. But As the Magpie flies most often does voiceovers on her long trips and her results are great.
I think I'll do a follow-up video on this topic!
@@MeghanStark will you do a video on voice over? That would be fantastic!
HI MEGHAN STARK IAM SANTHAKUMAR FROM INDIA
thumbs up.
is that telesin brand? i have that chin mount but now its broken. thanx for the vid!
You should look in to a product called Sugru :) .. you are welcome!
Thanks for the information but you haven’t told How phone records the audio, do we need download apps for GoPro or connect with wifi or Bluetooth
I did mention this in the video, but I record to a simple audio memo (this type of app comes standard with most phones) and then I sync it up in my video editing software during post-production. Luckily there's no special app, any app that creates an exportable audio file will work! The GoPro records its own separate audio while I ride, and sometimes I layer that in with the audio I captured in the helmet. There are probably tutorials on TH-cam about this but I think I'll make a follow up to this video with some additional specific details. Thanks for letting me know these questions, I'll definitely explain more in a future video!
Thanks
