Glad to hear the transmission comments. Was so disgusted with the water cooled transmission, I sold my 2015 r1200r soon after purchase. Tried a 2017 supposed improved trans. Wasn't impressed. The real kicker is you could simply forget about the quick shifter and use the clutch because it was impossible to use 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. Without completly slowing and deliberate shift and then continuing. Just horrible. Love the bikes otherwise and am excited to hear the 1250 may have improved.

You earned my sub due to your phenomenal audio quality! The lack of wind noise, picking up the engine tone, clarity of coms is all fantastic. That’s something I really struggle with, I think because I use a flip front helmet. What’s your audio set up? I’m always looking to improve. PS : You’d be helping out a fellow biking ‘tuber by throwing a sub my way. Very near to the 1000 goal now!
@throttle_up10 ай бұрын
Thank you for the compliments. Audio is something I've always struggled with. (Check out my earliest vids for proof of that). I think the first thing I did was to care about it. (And I know you appreciate that). That made me go and learn. I was fortunate enough to come late enough to the game to benefit from using DaVinci Resolve as my editing suite. It has a ton of features and a really healthy tutorial community on YT. So that software is a vital piece of the setup. The only mic I've used throughout is a Purple Panda lavalier. One thing I have never done is wire it up to a camera. At first I plugged it into a cheap mobile phone, but that didn't have a proper input gain, so I bought a Tascam audio recorder which I carry in my pocket. Set the levels at -12db, press record and it'll keep going all day. I also now have a DJI radio mic kit whose transmitters can be used in the same way, and they are small enough to be clipped onto the inside of my summer mesh jacket. The Tascam is too big for that. Even with all that, though, wind noise is still a problem. Even with all the EQ, compression, noise reduction that Resolve offers, it all still needed one final thing - spending a bit more money. I bought an audio plugin which uses a machine-learning powered Voice Isolation feature. And then, of couse, Black Magic Design incorporated the same kind of feature into the Studio version of Resolve, and that was even better, so I bought that too. The clarity of comms is something of a cheat. My brother and I shared each others' audio recordings. :-) But trust me, I still spend hours in post on the audio. Just one last tweak.... I'm hugely uplifted at the thought that you have subscribed - it means a great deal because I can see the effort you put into your vids. I've found motivation for editing somewhat short in supply recently. This has really helped. Oh, and I've been a subscriber of yours for a few months now. ;-)

I suspect the reason your 360 contraption moves about is because you have fixed it to the pannier. BMW panniers use a floating mount rather than rigid. Grab hold of a pannier secured on the bike apply light force up down side to side etc. and you should feel movement. Food for thought…..👍

Hey mate - if you're passionate enough to do a full motovolog episode about apostrophes, AND end it with an animated Apocalypse Now pun, you've earned my sub 🤣 I wouldn't call correcting "it's" vs "its" as being pedantic. It's a confusing rule for someone for whom English isn't their first language, and I think pointing out that kind of thing could be seen as being helpful. In the case of "nos", I would immediately wonder if they're talking about a nitrous system. I'd be inclined to use quotes, as in: How many "no"s did I say? Of course, that's also probably not grammatically correct either... but at that point, you probably *would* be crossing the line into pedantry 😀

Haha - the sound recording solution I was using at the time probably didn't help. And the engine sounded much better after the first service.

Only gripe is not being able to name “favourites” but hoping BMW will fix that.

I also am on the Apple platform, using a iPhone 12 Pro, and after the latest BMW software update the map mode would drop every few minutes and rarely reconnect. However, once I tried leaving my Apple Watch at home the connectivity issues went away completely and the system has worked flawlessly ever since. The watch was useful for text alerts which do not appear on the TFT display, but I can do without the alerts. And the advantage to using my primary phone for all connections to the RT is that I can listen to music (the entire library plus streaming) through my headset and take and send phone calls. It has been a frustrating experience, and BMW probably should know by now that the Apple Watch will override the TFT connections. I had to learn this by trial and error.
