I'm not a regular moto-vlogger but tried various mounts and setups like you. I found from another vlogger to eliminate the big heavy setup by using the media mod should also help your view and safety. And agree using a lav mic picks up the moto sounds while eliminating wind is great! Another great vid and glad you shared this plus your Hero 8 settings like the POV for capturing rides like this! Well done David!
Thanks man! I've super interested in the media mod in this type of setup. I'm a little bitter because I feel like GoPro underproduced their audio adapter so people would need to buy their media mod. I haven't picked one up yet for that reason alone. I should probably try it out though!
Thoughts on just running the lav mic cable up through your jacket and into the helmet and recording the audio externally onto a phone or voice recorder? That would eliminate the need for the giant cage and ridiculous GoPro external audio adapter and free up some sightlines. Just a thought. Great video as always!
I use my camera in a very similar way, I have a Hero6 and I also use the Ulanzi case. The difference is that my camera is in a lower position and I cannot see the screen. My microphone is embedded in the chin pad sponge and the rest of the cable is behind the inner covers. Finally, I think you do an excellent job as a motovlogger and the images you captured are incredible. But the truth is that the general public is not very interested in the content of motovloggers, so our success and growth is very difficult to achieve. Thanks again for spreading this niche of content on TH-cam, which is the motovlog. ✌
From the cheap accessories video, in the bike mount part, there were extenders/flippers. You can use both with the curved mount if you don't want the bite part of the bite mount.
The One R is a great camera but not yet perfected for motovlogs and the GoPro isn’t dependable for vlogs. I’ve switched to the Osmo Action due to reliability and low light capabilities since it has the Sony sensor. I haven’t made my first vlog with it yet but I’ve used it as b roll. Waiting on my mic adapter to come in the mail. I’ll due a motovlog setup also on my channel soon.
Would love to see it! My only issue with the Osmo Action is that it crops in so much when in Rocksteady. You for sure wouldn't get that wide immersive feel on there. I'll give it a shot as well, but stoked to hear your thoughts on it!
Thank you! Have you ever explored using a bluetooth connection between a SENA and the video camera? If it would work, this would be a great waterproof connection and eliminate the need for a microphone adaptor or Media Mod.
I wish the 8 black Technology was available when i was riding......4 years ago😐. But I think I’ve cracked the vlog setup, using the media mod and rode shotgun mic. But love the content
That's a sweet setup! Are you using the media mod for anything other than an audio adapter? Running a light or anything like that? I feel like GoPro basically replaced the old audio adapter for the media mod, just a bit more expensive
Still waiting on the display mod for framing and all. But The media mod is being utilized for the 3.5 jack and I’m using a Y splitter “ one end male, other end two female “ that allow combo of shot gun mic and Omni directional mic. Not in my Niche but maybe I can do a vid about my set up🤷🏾♂️
Maybe we could do a BRA vs. USA collab in this one. Topics to cover: - Pros and cons of the places to mount your GoPro in your motorcycle or helmet. - Best mount style for your ride. - Helmet mount strategies we saw our friends using to try to fit the mount based on the helmet shape. - Alternatives to not use external adapter and microphone attached to the GoPro. - And so on. If any of your followers are reading this comment, thumb up or down to this collab, 😅.
My helmet is being delivered today! I already have a dedicated GoPro and all the mounting hardware, just need to get audio stuff and I can start motovlogging! I'm pumped! Thanks for all the tips and tricks man, great videos!!!
So stoked for you Crazy Beard! If you're using one of the 3M adhesive mounts, clean the spot with alcohol first, heat up the adhesive portion of the 3M sticky bit with a hair dryer for a few seconds (not too hot), get it on there, and wait 24 hours before slotting in the GoPro. Mine's held up for six years because of a good first application 👍
Thanks. Been looking for a new mic setup as I'm new to using the Hero Black 8. Really have appreciated all your tips and settings for this camera. Until recently I've been recording most of my motovlogs on the Sena 10cpro. Then started recording video on the 8 and audio with Sena. Needless to say a pain in the butt for editing. So thanks for the video and your experience with this mic.
I use the TELESIN Helmet Chin Mount with the DJI Osmo Action. I keep a Gorilla Pod tripod in my bag and for audio, I actually use a Boya lav mic taped exactly the same as you, connected to a old Samsung Galaxy S6 Active and I sync my audio in post. This setup gives me a lot of flexibility for when I'm out and about and something catches my eye. I also have a ION Air Pro 3 connected to my windscreen facing me and a YI 360 VR that I mount using a three-point suction mount. I edit in Davinci Resolve on a 24 fps timeline and export to TH-cam using 1080p.
For the chesty, you want that first mount that I was trying in this video. It's the raised mount in this kit. they give you two of them amzn.to/3dW5fvp
I'm currently building and testing my first helmet rig. I went with the media mod. This has been my favorite video of yours so far, you should totally start moto-vloging. Nice bike too👌
Turn the GoPro buckle 180 and mount the camera upside-down. You will still have a great POV but the camera will be outside of your line of sight. Personally I don't want my camera blocking any of my own FOV while riding.
i say the hero 5 session is the best gopro for moto vloging because of how small and compact it is. But i'm not sure if it can use the mic adapter or not.
Really cool. Going with this setup like that you can see the screen. Hearing the bike is nice but not over powering your voice. It is just right. Awesome job man.
With youtube premium I was able to just listen to your video at work without watching it, audio quality is superb! You can even hear the gurgle of the bike clearly. (I went back afterwards to watch it of course! I saw the birds haha) what a great ride. Cheers!
Absolutely love your videos man! I just got my GoPro8 for a crosscountry motorcycle trip next month. I keep changing the settings around trying to find the sweet spot for riding but wanted to get your feedback since you've been using the GP8 for awhile now. I'm currently at 4K30 Wide with Boost on, high bitrate and auto shutter. I also left the color on GoPro because my post skills are pretty basic. Any guidance you can give on settings is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much and keep the videos coming!
Man, you're good with this videos. I bought my Gopro yesterday and now I'm watching your channel all the time. I would be cool If you could talk how you film your videos. Your workflow and mindset. Thank you David, and hello from Mexico 🤘
Good setup and test Dave. I Will be mounting on the side of my open face helmet. Is there any reason why you can’t use the very simple USB - C adapter to 1/8 inch mic Jack? It’s a very small adapter, unlike the large rectangular GoPro one. Looks like it would work fine and be way less cumbersome.
Craaaazy how that turned out!! Amazing audio, amazing view...Don’t need to mention the motorcycle, just gorgeous!! Keep up the good work...love it!! 🤙🏻
I don’t think you’ll have to look down while your riding therefore it facing downwards because your looking down sounds right to me. And I like how the angle barely changed by a few degrees lol
Your vids are really good and very informal. In your opinion what are the best settings to have for the go pro 8 while riding on a motorcycle? Sunny and cloudy/overcast days. The footage from your ride in this vid are amazing. I’m a newbie to the go pro game but not to riding lol. With that being said, Could you be so kind to give a good outline of all the setting necessary on the go pro 8 for a great motorcycle video as you just had. Thanks, Damo
Love how you park right in the middle of baby toys lol Surgu is also a really good option if a mount won't stick right. I have an XD4 helmet and basically glued a gopro mount to the helmet chin. I also have the same case as you as well. Another props for letting your bike warm up some :)
Hi David, could you please share your go pro settings with us. I recently bought a hero 8 black with a media mod en an external RODE livelier. But when I use the auto record button on top de go pro uses te mic of the media mod instead of the external mic. I really have no idea how to fix this problem, so I am open to any suggestions. I also have the setup you have, but with the media mod it is more compact on the helmet. Hope to hear from you.
Hi Raymond! Unfortunately I don't have a Hero 8 Media mod to check this on, but I'm on the Hero 9 and 10 with the mod and as soon as I plug a Rode Micro into the mic port, it automatically switches to that mic, I also tried it with the Rode Lav 2 and it works that same. Is the Rode Lav that you have by any chance the SmartLav+? If so, you'll need a TRRS to TRS adapter. The Media Mod only accepts TRS mics. Hopefully that helps!
I've always been using the sena bluetooth audiopack for my gopro and it works fine as long as the battery lasts, There are no wires to plug in, no adaptors, just turn it on and you're good to go, but I notice nobody uses it and opts for the wired version with the ulanzi setup. I wonder why.
Idk if gopro sells it or 3rd party but there are short extensions you could add to the jhook arm to push out the GoPro for that vertical angle. It would sit lower then the 2nd mount you have if you feel like you want more sight picture
I recently started motovlogging. I use a gopro hero7 On shoei x-14 using a side mount with arms. Makes it a little heavy. Looking into changing it to a front mount system, this gave me some inspiration, thanks for the video!
great setup dude, i have the same microphone and i plugged it into the phone and it turned out fine. This is a quick and cheap way to set up moto vlogging .
@@DavidManningvlog correct, the old 3 clap sync technique. I just recently bought the microphone so I have not made a full TH-cam video yet. But I have done some quick rides and it has been fine.
Hi David! Would you mind to share whats the setting youre using while shooting this motovlog besides using superview please? I found problems on the footage while shooting under overcast weather..
Hey David, Great Video! It seems like the mounts used here would be pretty much the same for ATV riding. I'm trying it out next week, and want to try to get some footage. We're renting helmets so we won't be able to stick a mount on it. Are there any other alternatives, do you think a chest mount would work ok?
@Jamie Davison hero 8s been pretty good to me I can estimate battery life etc, don't need to see the screen if you know when the battery cuts out imo... Hero 6 and 7 are garbage though they always stopped recording randomly for me
I have been using the GoPro Chesty mount for some time now and love it. I have added an extension from the chest mount that lifts the camera up and the review is great!
Hi David! Once again a great video! Couple of questions: What made you choose that mic over the Purple Panda (which seems to be the most common one bloggers use)? And you mentioned that the set up was in your field of vision while riding. On a scale of 1 - 10, how distracting was it? Thanks in advance!
HI David, thanks for your videos. I really enjoy them in Japan. I have a question for todays video, Did you turn on the wind noice reduction on or auto? I found hero8 with media mod can't turn it on so if I am doing moto vlog it gets wind noise I am thinking to get an audio adaptor for my hero 8.
few questions. what 3M mount are you using for the Arai? also could you flip the camera upside down to get a better angle? rather than having your vision obscured by the camera? awesome vid 🙏🏻
Love your content man. Great job!!! Isn't there a better arm mount that you could use for an out of the way GoPro that will not interfere with your filed of view + that would allow more flexibility in terms of movement? I didn't catch the mount insert you used: link please (bike mount?) I have the Telesin Helmet mount with straps as to not stick anything directly on the helmet, but I gather it will work just the same. Looking forward to your thoughts and comment. Cheers.
Hey loved the video!! Where did you get the bike mount from because I want to do a chin mount and I am running into the same issue where it's facing too far down unless I'm looking at the sky then it would be straight forward. I didnt see that mount in the description list.
Hi David. Greetings from Brazil. I'm a big fan of your channel. I really liked the content of this video, bring more recording content, photography and setup from gopro on the bike because it is a content that does not have much on the Internet. I use my camera on the side of the helmet, but I also like to use the "chin strap mount" for my helmet type.
Hi David. thank you for all your tips re the Hero 8 and this one is just the thing I was after. I bought the GoPro to capture footage from rides on my Spyder here in Australia. Your video on the set-up of the preferences is a must-watch for anyone who has the Hero 8. I like your videos as they are helpful and very pleasant to watch. I have clicked the follow button as I am sure I will learn heaps from your tips. I will post you a link once my microphone arrives and I give it a crack (Aussie slang). Not looking to be a TH-cam star, just want to share the memories with my mates.
David, I note you are a big Spork fan. You need an Aussie FRED. F##$$ing Ridiculous Eating Device or proper name at this link. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_Ration_Eating_Device
That’s the absolute best reason to create videos! I know one day, I’m going to be an old man looking back on these videos and reliving the memories! Also, I need to get me one of these Aussie sporks!!!
A million percent chest mount! Not because I think it's the better angle, but because it's more secure. The main issue with the head mount and water is it coming off. If you have a rafting helmet and you can mount an adhesive mount to it ahead of time, that's the way to go. But if it's just head mount or chest mount, the chesty will be much more secure!
Ehhhhhh! It’s definitely not waterproof! I’ve had the adapter in a rain situation before just holding it. But that was pretty brief. If I was riding and it started raining, I would for sure pull over and either cover the whole setup, or remove the whole setup👍
Hey David, what about using the media mod since you have the Hero 8? I have the 5 and am new to this. I am torn between getting the set up you have with my hero 5 or getting a hero 8 (now that it is on sale) with the media mud. Any advice? And yes, I will be using it to record my motorcycle trip to Niagara Falls.
Were you just trying to use what you had on hand or did you deliberately not use the Media Mod for the Hero8? It would probably be lighter and more compact, but that Ulanzi would probably give better protection while also allowing a standard lens filter right?
The sound is great. I hate the weight of the cage. I've mounted the Hero 8, on the front on my helmet, without the external mic. I can feel the weight of the camera, or more so the drag. Especially at high speeds.
Hey David, fun video, as usual. I have a few Moto-videos, but not too much vlogging. (Now worried they might be boring 😳😂) I tried lav mic with GoPro mounted upside-down for a better angle, worked ok on some helmets, but could never really get the sound just right. Even putting it through adobe audition. 🤷🏼♂️ I have had better luck recording from my Cardo’s (helmet Bluetooth) to my iPhone then just bringing them together in Premier. Still have to mess around a lot depending on the bike or extra wind noise, just seems like sometimes the noise canceling kicks in too good and takes some sounds you want, out. 😂. Oh my gosh, there is sure a talent to this whole thing. Lol. One thing you pointed out, I need to check out the bite mount, might be nice to see what’s going on. It would make things easier for that camera because normally when cameras going I have to keep checking the smart remote to make sure they are still running. 🙄🤪. Remember you make it up here, and we’ll go riding.👍🏼
1:40 - RIG AND SETUP
12:30 - TEST RIDE
19:10 - FINAL THOUGHTS
Cooper Legacy HAHA for a second I thought it was seths bike hacks!!!
Did you use a dead cat . Didn’t see you put one on. Just wondering.
You Should Have So Many More Subscribers!!!!!!!!! Your AWESOME!!!
You can also mount the gopro upside down for better tilt
How do you protect your len of gopro HERO8
Me who doesn't ride a motorcycle: *continues to watch entire video anyway*
It draws you in
Hahha! You're the best Clare!!!
You were not alone Clare 😀
Me too
Yep same just love David!
I'm not a regular moto-vlogger but tried various mounts and setups like you. I found from another vlogger to eliminate the big heavy setup by using the media mod should also help your view and safety. And agree using a lav mic picks up the moto sounds while eliminating wind is great! Another great vid and glad you shared this plus your Hero 8 settings like the POV for capturing rides like this! Well done David!
Thanks man! I've super interested in the media mod in this type of setup. I'm a little bitter because I feel like GoPro underproduced their audio adapter so people would need to buy their media mod. I haven't picked one up yet for that reason alone. I should probably try it out though!
Thoughts on just running the lav mic cable up through your jacket and into the helmet and recording the audio externally onto a phone or voice recorder? That would eliminate the need for the giant cage and ridiculous GoPro external audio adapter and free up some sightlines. Just a thought. Great video as always!
I use my camera in a very similar way, I have a Hero6 and I also use the Ulanzi case. The difference is that my camera is in a lower position and I cannot see the screen. My microphone is embedded in the chin pad sponge and the rest of the cable is behind the inner covers.
Finally, I think you do an excellent job as a motovlogger and the images you captured are incredible. But the truth is that the general public is not very interested in the content of motovloggers, so our success and growth is very difficult to achieve.
Thanks again for spreading this niche of content on TH-cam, which is the motovlog.

@@TheForeigner68yes I see many channels of technology and gadgets, this is one of my favorites.
I love the setup. Amazing view and great audio throughout the whole ride.
Once I get my own bike, I’ll most likely use the same setup.
Man, I'm super impressed with it! That $40 lav sounds really good, even at speed!
Loved the video and the sound was great. Actually enjoyed hearing you and the motorcycle. No wind it was great.
Thanks mom! Love you too 😉
I think you should try helmet chin strap mount it is available on amazon at very cheap price
I linked a couple in the description that have good reviews 👍
Great 👍 Love from india Agra
From the cheap accessories video, in the bike mount part, there were extenders/flippers. You can use both with the curved mount if you don't want the bite part of the bite mount.
Totally! The nice thing about using the bite mount is that then I always have the bite mount with me. I'm a big fan of that mount in particular!
I like that cage!
It's for sure robust! Really useful though and can take filters, so I could slap a UV filter on there or ND👍
Being a Motovlogguer, finally a video where I can give YOU some tips, 😅. Lots of place to improve this setup. But always, great content.
What’s ur tips for the hero 8
FAVOURITE TH-cam CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!
Aw, thanks! You rock!!!
🤣👍🏼
No problem with audio. Sounds good.
The One R is a great camera but not yet perfected for motovlogs and the GoPro isn’t dependable for vlogs. I’ve switched to the Osmo Action due to reliability and low light capabilities since it has the Sony sensor. I haven’t made my first vlog with it yet but I’ve used it as b roll. Waiting on my mic adapter to come in the mail. I’ll due a motovlog setup also on my channel soon.

I’ve never clicked on anything so fast this is my favorite channel
You rock man! Thanks Chris, stoked you're here!
I clicked on this one quick also since I motovlog. I love his tips.
The taller view on the GoPro is its ace over the competition. I love the view, man! ♥️💚
Thank you!
Have you ever explored using a bluetooth connection between a SENA and the video camera? If it would work, this would be a great waterproof connection and eliminate the need for a microphone adaptor or Media Mod.

GoPro isn’t reliable at all

i say the hero 5 session is the best gopro for moto vloging because of how small and compact it is. But i'm not sure if it can use the mic adapter or not.
The session was really good! Just not enough demand for it unfortunately
Really cool. Going with this setup like that you can see the screen. Hearing the bike is nice but not over powering your voice. It is just right. Awesome job man.
If you want to get the GoPro out of your way you can mount it upside down. That’s what I do with a chesty

Hey David! Ulanzi has a plastic version of the cage for the hero 8 which is lighter. Its like the cage you reviewed for the Hero 7.
can you do a video for motorcycle riding with insta360 x3? I am interested in your take on how to best set up and mount for motorcycle vlogging
Sold the bike a few years back, but would love to go rent a bike for a day to create that video!!! ...I'll work on this👍

Just use GoPro media mod. Then you have access to the jack and your all good for Moto blogging. Easy set up.
I’m still a little bitter with the media mod fiasco. I’ll get my hands on one soon though and run you through my thoughts👍
Idk if gopro sells it or 3rd party but there are short extensions you could add to the jhook arm to push out the GoPro for that vertical angle. It would sit lower then the 2nd mount you have if you feel like you want more sight picture

Hi David! Would you mind to share whats the setting youre using while shooting this motovlog besides using superview please? I found problems on the footage while shooting under overcast weather..
Hey David,
Great Video! It seems like the mounts used here would be pretty much the same for ATV riding. I'm trying it out next week, and want to try to get some footage. We're renting helmets so we won't be able to stick a mount on it. Are there any other alternatives, do you think a chest mount would work ok?
Helpful. I just ordered a Hero8, have the same lav and mic adapter. Id be happy to get the same audio as you did.
You can always flip the GoPro upside down and you'll get a lower angle and the GoPro can automatically flip the footage
@Jamie Davison hero 8s been pretty good to me I can estimate battery life etc, don't need to see the screen if you know when the battery cuts out imo...
Hero 6 and 7 are garbage though they always stopped recording randomly for me
I have a chin mount with a Gopro Hero 8. I use a media mod for my audio out though. Much cleaner and more compact look then the ulanzi cage.
Seems like that setup works out really well. Audio is great!
I have been using the GoPro Chesty mount for some time now and love it. I have added an extension from the chest mount that lifts the camera up and the review is great!
HEAD STREAPS IS ALSO GOOD OPTION.
Hi David! Once again a great video! Couple of questions: What made you choose that mic over the Purple Panda (which seems to be the most common one bloggers use)? And you mentioned that the set up was in your field of vision while riding. On a scale of 1 - 10, how distracting was it? Thanks in advance!
HI David, thanks for your videos. I really enjoy them in Japan.
I have a question for todays video, Did you turn on the wind noice reduction on or auto? I found hero8 with media mod can't turn it on so if I am doing moto vlog it gets wind noise
I am thinking to get an audio adaptor for my hero 8.
few questions. what 3M mount are you using for the Arai? also could you flip the camera upside down to get a better angle? rather than having your vision obscured by the camera? awesome vid 🙏🏻
any advice on how to eliminate crackling noise at high speed? [I already use a mic deadbeat] cheers awesome vids
Still waiting for one r moto vlogging video.. 360 mod on a chin mount. Will it be Wider then super view.?
Love your content man. Great job!!! Isn't there a better arm mount that you could use for an out of the way GoPro that will not interfere with your filed of view + that would allow more flexibility in terms of movement?
I didn't catch the mount insert you used: link please (bike mount?)
I have the Telesin Helmet mount with straps as to not stick anything directly on the helmet, but I gather it will work just the same. Looking forward to your thoughts and comment. Cheers.
Thanks for this, I’ve been thinking about doing this for a little while now and this is the way I shall do it. 👍👍
Hey loved the video!! Where did you get the bike mount from because I want to do a chin mount and I am running into the same issue where it's facing too far down unless I'm looking at the sky then it would be straight forward. I didnt see that mount in the description list.
What is I don't have a Monster 749? Will this work on my Oscar Pistorius-branded off-road Unicycle rig?
Hi David. Greetings from Brazil. I'm a big fan of your channel. I really liked the content of this video, bring more recording content, photography and setup from gopro on the bike because it is a content that does not have much on the Internet. I use my camera on the side of the helmet, but I also like to use the "chin strap mount" for my helmet type.
Your videos are amazing! It always lightens up my day when I watch one, and the videos are never boring. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
Settings of gopro? And any recommendations of cheap mic adapter?
Hi David. thank you for all your tips re the Hero 8 and this one is just the thing I was after. I bought the GoPro to capture footage from rides on my Spyder here in Australia. Your video on the set-up of the preferences is a must-watch for anyone who has the Hero 8. I like your videos as they are helpful and very pleasant to watch. I have clicked the follow button as I am sure I will learn heaps from your tips. I will post you a link once my microphone arrives and I give it a crack (Aussie slang). Not looking to be a TH-cam star, just want to share the memories with my mates.
David, I note you are a big Spork fan. You need an Aussie FRED. F##$$ing Ridiculous Eating Device or proper name at this link. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_Ration_Eating_Device
That’s the absolute best reason to create videos! I know one day, I’m going to be an old man looking back on these videos and reliving the memories! Also, I need to get me one of these Aussie sporks!!!
Hey David, what mount would you recomend for a rafting trip with a go pro Head or chest?
A million percent chest mount! Not because I think it's the better angle, but because it's more secure. The main issue with the head mount and water is it coming off. If you have a rafting helmet and you can mount an adhesive mount to it ahead of time, that's the way to go. But if it's just head mount or chest mount, the chesty will be much more secure!
Chest
Your tips have helped me out in creating a view videos myself. Great work and keep the videos coming.
does GoPro mic adapter works in rain, while riding?
Ehhhhhh! It’s definitely not waterproof! I’ve had the adapter in a rain situation before just holding it. But that was pretty brief. If I was riding and it started raining, I would for sure pull over and either cover the whole setup, or remove the whole setup👍
Okay, it's not for the rain.
Ulanzi Cage link is no longer working. Found it though on Amazon. Great video. Thanks so much!
Did you ever try out the Insta360 One R setup?
I have the One R w/ 5K mod on my helmet.
What are the aspects of this case if we ride in rain? Will the water gets into the case and insert into my GroPro ?
Hey David, what about using the media mod since you have the Hero 8? I have the 5 and am new to this. I am torn between getting the set up you have with my hero 5 or getting a hero 8 (now that it is on sale) with the media mud. Any advice? And yes, I will be using it to record my motorcycle trip to Niagara Falls.
Cool video David. Tidy? how about using the GoPro Media Mod with external Mic?
Were you just trying to use what you had on hand or did you deliberately not use the Media Mod for the Hero8? It would probably be lighter and more compact, but that Ulanzi would probably give better protection while also allowing a standard lens filter right?
Oh, and there was just the right amount of sweet engine noise coming in :-)
Great video! Sounds good. I use the media mod for motovlogging and it’s a pretty compact setup.
The sound is great. I hate the weight of the cage. I've mounted the Hero 8, on the front on my helmet, without the external mic. I can feel the weight of the camera, or more so the drag. Especially at high speeds.
Hey David, fun video, as usual. I have a few Moto-videos, but not too much vlogging. (Now worried they might be boring 😳😂) I tried lav mic with GoPro mounted upside-down for a better angle, worked ok on some helmets, but could never really get the sound just right. Even putting it through adobe audition. 🤷🏼♂️
I have had better luck recording from my Cardo’s (helmet Bluetooth) to my iPhone then just bringing them together in Premier. Still have to mess around a lot depending on the bike or extra wind noise, just seems like sometimes the noise canceling kicks in too good and takes some sounds you want, out. 😂. Oh my gosh, there is sure a talent to this whole thing. Lol.
One thing you pointed out, I need to check out the bite mount, might be nice to see what’s going on. It would make things easier for that camera because normally when cameras going I have to keep checking the smart remote to make sure they are still running. 🙄🤪.
Remember you make it up here, and we’ll go riding.👍🏼
Bro recommend best mic for GoPro 8 of motovlog
Thx for the vid Dave. Any chance you could link to the phone mount used on your bike? Cheers 👍🇦🇺
I like your setup. Good ideas within.
When I get a bike again I will be doing this set up! Great video!
