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!
@@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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 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..
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.
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.
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
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!
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!
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!
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!
@@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
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.)
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!
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!
I'd like to offer you a tip on photography (video). You're pretty face not in focus here. (bummer), but your helmet is in focus. So (obviously), both need to be in focus. You need to either: a) use a smaller aperture (f/16 or more) which might do the trick (but not likely because your focus distance is too close) OR b) get a longer lens (i.e. use a 85mm or 100mm or greater to get the crop you want) and also use as much light as possible so you can stop down to f/16-ish to get as large a depth of field as necessary to get everything (you and the helmet in this scenario) in focus. :-) Matt Granger, and, Tony & Chelsea Northrup and a bunch of other pro photographers have free tut's on YT to show you how. Also, using a _Depth of Field Calculator_ (a free or cheap app on Androids and iPhones - and several websites - just google it) can tell you exactly how much depth of field you will get at a given distance and f/stop. This is "Physics of Light and Lenses 101" for photographers/videographers :-D BAM! Now ya know! :-O It's just kind of a bummer not seeing your pretty face in sharp focus...but then, I'm a bit of a detail perfectionist. ;-) Here's my Kit (I shoot mostly architecture and landscapes) bit.ly/2UYPYVr Stay warm n safe gurl. :-)
Hi there, I do have a longer lens but I have quite limited space in my apartment. I should've used a deeper DOF, a calculator sounds handy, I'll check that out. The main reason my stuff is out of focus is because I'm filming myself and cannot make adjustments like I'd be able to from behind the camera, my vision is actually not very good up close (so I have a hard time seeing detail on the viewfinder), and my camera doesn't autofocus in video. Lots of lame excuses, but it be that way sometimes. haha. Most of the woes come from being a one-woman show. I do watch tons and tons of photography tutorials and have shot for quite some time. So I do have access to the info. Sometimes it's nice to have one thing I'm not a perfectionist about. Thanks for watching!
@@MeghanStark Sorry, yeah, a minute after i wrote that I saw your "Kit" online and you do have some longer focal length lenses. Hmm...yeah, I have to wear glasses for reading...Hey, try using an external monitor (as big as possible) for your t3i - I believe you can use an HDMI cable (you'll need one with the smaller end for the camera), then you can make sure it's focused on your eyes rather than a mic or helmet or tripod... heh heh. I bought a couple cheap adapters for regular HDMI cables so I can use any cable to plug into my t3i. I think they are like $2 via eBay. There are small 7-10" monitors that can mount to the flash shoe too, but you could probably use an old iPad, Android tablet, or Windoze tablet (note: you might need an app to make it act like a monitor). Even a laptop might work. --> I've never done more than a minute of vid with my cam, but I know that the free authentic Canon app (via USB cable) will control it for still shooting - it might control it for vid shooting too and then you get a nice (laptop/computer) size screen with all the controls for doing vid/stills. Here's my Kit: bit.ly/2UYPYVr Cheers from sunny California :-)
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!!!
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,.....
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!
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!
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. 🤗😅
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.
Question - with the chin mount for a gopro, how do you stop the camera picking up your voice, as it always seems to with me? Then, when I come to sync recorded audio, I'll have my voice playing over a lower volume version of my voice in a weird harmony. Or worse, if I sync it up slightly out, it'll create an echo effect...
I usually completely mute that track! I find that the mic picks up enough bike sound for atmosphere, so I don't use any of the audio from the GoPro itself unless I need to pick up some other miscellaneous outside noise (like someone talking to me)
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!
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!
@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. ✌️
It will clearly pick up your voice and a little bit of surrounding noise/voices at the regular volume. When there are other people around or other external sounds I want to amplify, sometimes I'll then use the audio that the GoPro is picking up. With this method, you get two audio sources to choose from! You can switch between or mix them together

I'd like to offer you a tip on photography (video).
You're pretty face not in focus here. (bummer), but your helmet is in focus. So (obviously), both need to be in focus.
You need to either: a) use a smaller aperture (f/16 or more) which might do the trick (but not likely because your focus distance is too close)

Hey Meghan, thanks for your quick reply. I took a look at your website too, nice site and products fellow ducatisti
Awesome video!
Meghan Stark, your ingenuity with all the technology reminded me of a certain Marvel Super Hero, Tony Stark(Iron Man).
Great video! I have a very similar set-up for my helmet. I bought an adhesive mount though and it fits great. Ride safe.
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!
Nice we have same set up... But still I don't have the adapter... God bless
Thanks for your help with this matter and I love the idea of it 😍
Solid set up 😎

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. 🤗😅
4:46 That's because you bought a Bell helmet.
Awesome video we should collab sometime this summer, currently in Italy till june but Ill be back the 1st of the month 👏🏻🏍
Very informative video.. good jog ,and thanks for sharing..
Exactly what I was looking for! 🙏
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.
Huge fan from Nepal
Thanks. Helps me with my setup for my channel👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Nice! Ride safe and god speed
Thanks a lot for the video!
Just use a few 3M tape and stack them up on uneven surface and the stick last one with the mount
Wow nice wonderful
Thanks for sharing this video
Stay connected my new friend
Question - with the chin mount for a gopro, how do you stop the camera picking up your voice, as it always seems to with me? Then, when I come to sync recorded audio, I'll have my voice playing over a lower volume version of my voice in a weird harmony. Or worse, if I sync it up slightly out, it'll create an echo effect...
I usually completely mute that track! I find that the mic picks up enough bike sound for atmosphere, so I don't use any of the audio from the GoPro itself unless I need to pick up some other miscellaneous outside noise (like someone talking to me)
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
Very nice video and infortent👍

Nice, I got the same helmet too..
is that telesin brand? i have that chin mount but now its broken. thanx for the vid!
Thanks for ths... :) your the best 😍
Well done!
Great advice :)
Thats very great, can i have a hug or heart from you? I love your helmet..good job..
I have a question about the headphones. Is it still hear any voice with the position of headphones? Or does it need to turn up the volume to max?
It will clearly pick up your voice and a little bit of surrounding noise/voices at the regular volume. When there are other people around or other external sounds I want to amplify, sometimes I'll then use the audio that the GoPro is picking up. With this method, you get two audio sources to choose from! You can switch between or mix them together
Meghan Stark Wow! thanks a lots. I’m very appreciating that you not only answer my questions but apply the other advice. Good jobs!
Impressive 👍
