How to Vlog with a GoPro

Рет қаралды 50,682

Vlogging with an action camera is easier than ever with the GoPro Hero 10. But we also use 3 other cameras to film our travel vlogs. In this video, I'll break down my compact GoPro vlogging camera setup and also introduce the other cameras we use.

I just started vlogging this year, and it honestly changed my life. My first (traveling to Malaysia) vlog even got 1k views in the first month! It's so much work, but honestly it feels like legacy building. So so glad I started this format!

Here's a tip from an old pro... No matter what light you vloggers use, you can always soften it by purchasing a small sheet of "Frost" diffusion. Rosco, for instance has light Opal, Tough Frost and many more and a 21" x 24" sheet is only $8.50 (on B&H). A sheet that big should last you for months if not years! Just cut a small piece off and attach it to your light with tape. Gaffer tape will work best and that too is available on-line. This gives you options as to how much diffusion you want on your light and it can be used on any light, even large LED fixtures.

It works like a dream for backpacking as you can hold your hiking poles while hiking and just grab the GoPro to shoot something whenever you want. Like that it clicks in place also!

is it worth upgrading from Go Pro 7? Usually i just grab my iPhone 13 Pro to vlog, so convenient but a few shops told me not to film. If I had a GoPro with a neck mount I think they wouldn't have noticed. The problem is some restaurants a little dim mood lighting and not sure if that's too dark for GoPro.

Honestly we have too many cameras, lol. The GoPro and 360 cam cover our wide angle shots, and they have great stability without needing a gimbal. The Pocket 2 felt repetitive. But if you need a pocket cam and didn't want to use GoPro, the Pocket 2 could be a replacement.

Great video! How can I connect the Volta and an external omnidirectional microphone simultaneously to the GoPro Hero 11 WITHOUT having to use the Media Mod? What do I need to do that?

The only way is to use the GoPro mic adapter

@izakniemann5734 Жыл бұрын

@@Gemini_Connect Thank for your answer, much appreciated. But as I understand, the GoPro has only one USB-C port, so if I use the Volta there is no place where I can connect the Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter to the camera. And I definitely consider getting the Rode Wireless GO2 microphones, but they need to be connected to a USB-C port as well, right? So, what do I do?

I am intrigued- how do you manage to get steady footage when walking with GoPro Hero 10? For me that slow up and down, especially when walking on trails in nature, seems to defeat the otherwise amazing stabilization (such as recording driving a quad bike over very rough ground). Are you using a gimbal. It doesn't look like it in the first minute of this clip (and elsewhere). Above all I want to share with people my walking in nature on often very steep "goat" trails. Haven't managed to work out a good way to achieve this. Cheers Andrew from New Zealand.

@Gemini_Connect Жыл бұрын

We have Hypersmooth Boost enabled and always shoot in well lit areas (Hypersmooth seems to deactivate when filming in low light). That gives us really smooth footage, even without a gimbal.
