MOTOVLOGGING SET UP

 Everything I use to record footage and in helmet audio while riding.

CHIN MOUNT VIEW

This view is from a GoPro (I use a 7) on super wide view. I use this brand of chin mounts. I like these mounts because they are custom made for each helmet for a perfectly flush fit. Once the sticky wore off after extreme temperatures and rain, I tried this moldable glue and it has held up the best for me.

360 CAMERA angles

Below are stills from different angles using my Insta360 โ€œMotorcycle Kitโ€. The items in the red circle on the right - that stick is extendable and the claw looking thing is how I clamp the 360 on the stick down on various parts of the bike. There are less places to attach it to on a naked bike, but baggers with crash guards or bikes with tail racks have lots of places to attach it to.

RECORDING IN HELMET AUDIO

I use the ZoomH1N portable voice recorder with the Panda lapel mic. While riding, I keep the voice recorder in my jacket pocket, and wire the mic up behind my cheek pad and place it in front of my mouth - just got to make sure my visor, all my vents are closed. TryItWithTimโ€™s YouTube video helped me to figure out the proper settings. This video is a good example using this audio and settings. I rarely use this now since the motovlogging view is such low retention on YouTube.

EDITING software

To edit my videos, I use iMovie, as it is free on Macs. For my thumbnails, I use Photoshop, which I already had before I started YouTube when I did freelance graphic design.
