I’m so glad you put this video out. Just last week I rode down to Tampa and on my way back I set my phone up on my handle bars and was recording and live streaming some of my riding. This got me thinking about starting moto vlogging, if not for KZfaq then for myself. Thanks for showing your set up!

I've found the lav mic cable an absolute pain to squirrel away so I've actually made my own custom microphone specifically for motovlogging, even manufacturing the case to hold the mic capsule in the best direction to avoid wind and pick up voice. Will be doing a video on these soonish.

I always mount the gopro upside down. This helps me to turn it on/off with my left hand thumb without taking my right hand off the throttle. For me that's a lot easier. Also the quick record issue in my experience can be resolved if you opt to never put the gopro to hibernate or standby.

Hey Blockhead. Awesome video and a great setup. Just a note from a professional Audio Engineer. It’s not great to “tap” the mic for your test. It can damage the capsule as it’s a mini condenser mic. Damaged capsules could lead to audio drops, crackling or distortion. Like you mentioned on the ride, rather scratch the mic as this won’t put pressure on the mic capsule. Much love all the way from South Africa🇿🇦

I’ve been using the media mod with my GoPro and audio has been a royal pain in my ass. So, maybe this would work better. Thanks again!

I plan on adding something decent for videos, so thx for sharing. I haven’t bought a GoPro, but I have a old ION that I like because I can watch & control it from my phone as I use the camera. I don’t even think anyone sells them in stores anymore, so GoPro is coming up.

Great video and information here for newer content creators such as myself, thank you!!! Though I personally prefer the handle-bar mount POV to see what the bike is going thru(lean angle/whoops/etc), I guess most people prefer this helmet style POV to watch moto-vlogs from? Would help if I were more vocal too, heh!

Yes most viewers prefer helmet mount, chin position preferably. Side mount can be distracting, and top mount, can be acceptable for MX racing. So I was told...

Bar mount means you can’t record audio unless you have another device to do that, and then you need to dub it over that footage. Bar footage is great, but you have to mix it in with other footage.

Something i do want to point out. If you find your mic not working with the gopro mic adapter, make sure you are using a TRS mic, meaning it has 2 rings. Most vloggers dont mention this, just mention what mic you should use. If your mic has 3 rings, its a TRRS mic and you will wither need a TRRS to TRS adapter or a TRS mic. If your 3.5mm jack has 3 rings, you need to get a male to female adapter with 2 rings or buy a lavalier mic with 2 rings

You already have the extended arm, 90° adapter and housing together. I just bought one of those housings for my microphone, but I’m curious of how it actually attaches. Does it have 2 gopro mounting spots on it? Or does one of your adapter pieces have 2 mounting spots. Trying to figure out how the housing attaches to the GoPro and how the GoPro attaches to your helmet.

I do use the media mod, I do use an external battery, I also use the usb port, running a 6 ft cable to the external battery, this does a couple things, It allows the gopro to stay cool, and I never run out of battery, the only downside is it's not a water proof setup.

To avoid the strain on your cpu while editing, you can still record in 4K, then make proxies of the footage which are smaller files you can edit with, then replace them with the 4K files for the export. That’s what production companies I’ve worked with do. Hope that helps in some way:)

Can't fault a very tidy presentation and a great production but you do raise a query with me. Now we both know how important eye line is but I question the advantage side mounting gives as to its disadvantages. Give me an example where having your camera lens slightly to one side because it is mounted in the middle of the chin is a disadvantage. To me your system has more bits and pieces, is more complicated and not only is heavier it catches more wind. Talking about the weight is neither here or there to be fair. My system is the same but more streamlined. I have a case that my gopro 7 fits in and there is part of that case that harbours the mic adaptor. I don't know if I can still have that arrangement when I update to a hero 10 because I believe the 10 is bigger than the 7. When I'm talking and pointing at some feature my out stretch arm and finger always line up for the viewer. One other reason for not jumping to the 11 when update is the latest gopro remote doesn't work with the 11 at time of writing. Also I have a small battery bank in my person with permanent power supply if needed. In my tank bag I have a 3 port usb battery bank that powers a gopro 2 battery charger/ my phone/ and if needed my battery bank. I always carry 2nd gopro on a hand held flexi tripod for getting in with the people and interviews. I don't mean to be so long winded but there's been a lot of evolution to streamline what we do. It's a huge advantage be able to see the rear window of my gopro while riding. The battery bank helps for running my laptop so I can download my footage when on long rides away from power. Helmets have come a long way and I forsee full media setups being built in not too far down the track.

Thanks for the video, well done and helpful. I like to have my Go Pro (haven't gone to a 360 camera yet) on my handlebars (actually, I attach it to the handguard). So for me to do that and be able to blog I would have to run the microphone cord from the Go Pro up to my helmet. Have you tried that? I suppose the wire would be flying around from the wind and be annoying. Would be nice to have a svelte wireless system! Thanks.

Hey, I ride with the media mod and I do not see that much of a difference in battery life with or without the media mod. With my GP8 at 1440 mode, I get around 45 - 50 min in warmer days. Obviously the battery does not last that long on cold days, under 50. I do like that the newer GP have a higher capacity battery, so I am wondering what is your runtime per fully charged battery and mic adapter.
