- How to Make a Trip Report
This video will be about How To Make a Trip Report Video, specifically about the equipment I personally use.
As I state multiple times throughout this video about How To Make a Trip Report Video, YOU DON’T NEED ANY of these tools to . I have learned through trial-and-error about what works for me. I also geek out on this stuff.
But, truth be told, all you really need is a willingness to make a Trip Report Video, a camera, and a trip. Everything else is gravy. Don’t let a lack of equipment hold you back from making a Trip Report Video!
But, if you’re looking for some new tools to make a Trip Report Video, consider the ones I use. Also, in accordance with my sponsorship policy (jeb.flights/sponsors), I want to be clear that the channel will receive a small commission (which I’ll use to make more Trip Report Videos) if you choose to buy using the links below.

On the hero 7, you can go into the settings and turn off the front blinking light while still leaving the back one on (just to save you placing tape on it!)
@5:54 "Except for Dennis Bunnik". Exactly.
😂😂😂
DennisBunnik Travels bet you weren't expecting the messiah to reply
Cool to see! Nice video Jeb
Thanks for all the tips!
Jeb I love your videos and think they're great! I just wanna say I love how open you are about sponsorships, very welcoming to see after all these other RUclipsrs are shady about it. Really says a lot about you as a character. Hope your holidays are going well! Cheers from Chicago!
You where one of my first RUclips trip bloggers I started to watch about a year ago . Yes there many out there on RUclips but your content in my opinion is one of the best,keep up the good work sir .
Ohhh, when I did my delta takeoff at MSP videos, I literally had an iPad pressed up to the windows, definitely too much stress on my arms, thanks a lot for talking about the mount!
Thanks Jeb! Once covid is over, I might try a video going to the US or to Malaysia or something. I am low budget, so I’m gonna use a canon sx620 hs, perfect 1080p camera for me
Hi Jeb, in my " old " GoPro 6 is was able to switch the blinking light off. You should find it in the menu. See you in the sky. :-)
Cheers jeb!
Awesome! Thanks, Jeb!
I just received a new camera as an early Xmas present! (Nikon 5600 + AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR) I’ve taken 3 photos... And I absolutely love it! Strongly recommended
Great job! Spelling out the simple details and tools we should use. Thank you so very much!
I plan on making my first trip report in December for my trip to London and I got a GoPro and my Galaxy A20 for the content, I wish I had not forgot to get the last bit of content from last summer's trip on Thomas Cook before it collapsed. Thank you for giving us a taste of what we need to start off, God knows how I've been struggling to finally get stuff out. 👍🏾👍🏾
I absolutely love watching your videos! You do a really great job of putting your videos together.
Great tips
Thx for the video!
Great video Jeb. Thanks again, from Scotland.
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
I watch the channels where the producer is as excited and passionate about aviation as I am. The thing that draws me to your channel is that you're geeked about this stuff and that excitement bleeds into your productions.
Thank you so much for making this video - and all of your videos! You telling people to not let anything hold them back from doing this gave me just the last little push I needed to commit to doing this kind of thing in my own quirky way. I have the iPhone 12 Pro and my boyfriend is a photographer (and my biggest supporter), so I have a lot of the simple things I need to get started. We have a trip to London booked for next April, but I won’t be waiting that long to get started. I haven’t been to DFW in quite a long time, and I always did have big soft spot for that airport, so maybe that’ll be one of my first stops. Thanks again for all of your great content! It’s helping me cope with a lot and to find my way forward.
Thanks that was great
Thank you Jeb! I’ve been wanting and looking for a while on how to improve my channel a little more, I’ve been using iPhone and iMovie since I started, but the other tips like editing and audio definitely this video was “the chosen one”, Thank you again !!!!!
Love it. You are one of my inspirations to make trip reports :)
Thanks for this amazing video Jeb
Great video! And you have made great strides in the audio in the studio. The audio recorded in your studio for this video sounds much more natural, and free of unwanted echo, than your first studio video. Keep up the great work!
Interesting vlog Jeb !
Thanks for making this video! It was very helpful!
I like these new videos you are making. I learn so much.
Great behind the scenes video.
Great video! Thank you for sharing :)
Nice and clear explanations! I was going to post about disabling the GoPro flashing light, but several people beat me to it!
A couple of comments - the GoPro window mount is the best one I've used so far and I found a ball joint swivel mount that lets me easily turn the camera from side to side. Also, for those of us without loads of amenity kit pouches, Bagsmart cable organiser travel bags are very useful for cables, batteries, chargers, powerbanks etc.
This is fantastic Jeb - brilliant to watch and thanks for sharing. It’s fascinating to see how it all works and see into your journey to improve your skills. I’d love to do this myself some day, but I think people would get sick of repeat Melbourne-Canberra trips.
You and Dennis are great creators. Thanks for what you do. 👏👏👏
I love your passion and it shows. Thanks for sharing it with us I love your videos!
Great Video. Awesome to see behind the scenes of such a great channel!
Jeb, you are doing a great job and I appreciate your work. You are an inspiration and I really watch out for your new videos. I flew Delta going to the US last October and your videos were very helpful when I made the decision on which airline to take. And I was beyond satisfied of the flight. Thank you so much for your work. You are an inspiration to me. Cheers. 😊😊😊❤️
Thanks for all the tips and hope to be able to fly again soon after pandemic is over.
Stay safe for now 🙏
I love the flip screen on my Sony WX500
Wow that’s amazing thanks for all the help jeb!!! Keep up the good work😀
Thanks for the videos. They're just relaxing to watch :)
Wow! I love the pizazz that Jeb puts into all these videos.
Thanks for share 😃 maybe next time i need to upgrade my equipment
Great video Jeb, really useful tips. I for one have done a few trip reports and I really want to do more and share my love of plane travel with the people.
At the moment, I have nothing more than just using an iPhone 7 and a Zhiyun gimble.
Thanks Jeb! I've never done a trip report before but next month have already upgraded to First on my return flight from PSP-ORD on AA, Would like to try simply with an I-Phone and see how it goes.. Love your channel!
Canon Rebel T7 with 18-55mm and 75-300mm lens, with additional wide angle & telephoto lens, assorted filters, tripods, and other accessories along with a camera specific backpack to fit it all, along with an iPhone XS Max! I'll be putting it all to good use when I go planespotting at AUS next week!
Jeb, thank you so much for a behind the scenes look at how you create your trip reports! It was so very informative and helpful, especially to beginners.
My recovery is coming along. I have another month of cardio rehab still to go. I will be allowed to fly again in February perhaps, or March. That works out great because I have plans to go to California in April! I've never been there, and I've never taken a transcontinental flight before, so that should be really interesting! I can't begin too thank you enough for keeping my spirits up during this difficult time. I really hope we can meet so I can thank you personally!
I'm in that 'small subset' that finds this video interesting and informative. You always have great travel and related videos! I use a DSLR for my studio / home shots but everything else is either compact camera sized or action camera sized or cell phone sized to minimize the equipment I need to carry and take with me. Actually... much like your equipment. But all this is just stuff. What you really need is a basic video recording device (min. 1080p) and a good 'Story' to tell. Without a good story, everything else is just shtuff. Tasty icing on the cake but the cake is really what you need. Thanks again for thinking about us folks in the small subset that find this interesting. Cheers. 🥂
That is incredible, Jeb. Thanks for sharing! I have considered doing some RUclips work and some of my attempts in a few areas are already posted. I was looking around the house recently and realized I have a Canon 70D with a good complement of lenses, an iPhone, several Macs -- all with iMovie, I'm a pretty good PhotoShop user and subscribe, I have some limited photography lights, wireless lavalier mics... All those things have accumulated without any thought of what could be done on RUclips. I've always wanted a GoPro with a good suction mount, so that's already justified since I want to see and hear what my car looks and sounds like when I drive fast. I have a decent voice, occasionally told I have a TV or radio voice and I love speaking to a crowd.
My RUclips interest is different than your genre but I might make an occasional "Trip Report," say to somewhere like Walmart, the local Moonshine Museum, chronicle my own trips -- you get the picture even if it's not a pretty one. My questions are: 1. Good sources for music that is free to use in such videos? 2. If you occasionally did videos including objects, would you consider an inexpensive gimble mount? 3. How did you begin building your subscribers and viewers without paid social media or other advertising? It would seem the first 0-100 or 0-1,000 would be the toughest. 4. What are your feelings on maintaining a consistent type of opening and closing segment? And finally, 5. What do you think of creating a logo for opening and closing segments and using the same logo in the lower right or left corner -- i.e. A watermark, DOG or Bug?
Keep up the great work! I started watching your trip reports first and branched out to the others; however, when all are among my alerts, I always watch yours first. The whole lot of trip reporters seems to be a very amicable and tight-knit group. Some I subscribe to now I first learned of on your channel!
Love seeing how you go about producing the trip reports! Pretty nice seeing that you primarily used your iPhone for the CRJ-550 video as it looked more like you used a higher end camera...makes me want to upgrade when the time comes.
It's really easy to see how passionate you are with the effort and attitude you come towards the quality in content, so I hope you can keep making these videos as you enjoy producing them for us.
Thank you so very much!!!
Really appreciate the behind the scenes Jeb, great video!
Another camera type to consider is the Insta 360 one X, because it’s a 360 camera, you aren’t “pointing” it at anyone, so I’ve gotten no pushback or comments from crews or passengers. You just frame it in post! You’re also able to get some great 360 shots panning within a seat/suite without a person holding the camera, but that’s my style of video, I’m incognito!
I'd love to see a redo of this! Maybe with your editing tips! We love your videos!
Great content Jeb. Loved this video. Keep it up. Just got a hero 7 black this week (read some not so great reviews on the new hero 8). More to film the kids in the pool and the beach but, who knows, maybe I’ll give a trip report a try. Just need to fly somewhere cool and not hub to hub domestically.
Just to add to your tips on the GoPro. You can also select to turn the front red light off in the settings as well. At least on the 6 black you can. I imagine most have the same feature.
This was a helpful post. Tnx much! Viva evergreen content. 😊
For those looking for a solid video editor that is free, Davinci Resolve has a free version for both Mac and PC. Great video. I do audio engineering for a living. It can be a pain with background noises. There are means to knock it down. They make small mic isolation stands also, a cheap way is to wrap the back of the mic with a heavy cloth such as a towel. It is amazing what those little things can do. If you have any questions Jeb message me.
You are a pro Jeb! Not only you have the right gears for what you do, you also have the personality and voice too.
As for me, I too have a humble, virtually unknown travel channel of my own. I do not enjoy appearing in front of the camera, and it is captions oriented; so perhaps that's why I don't have much viewers. Anyway, believe it or not I have been using almost exclusively JUST the Sony RX100 iv + sometimes my Android phone until recently. I have just added a GoPro Hero8 a few weeks ago, so we will see how my new videos will look like in the future. See you in the sky.
I use an iPhone 6 and Windows movie maker. Pretty low tech, but it still works. Haven’t made any trip reports as of late, though I’ve been really wanting to get back into it
I recently got a used GoPro hero 4 black. I use my iPhone 8 too. Haven’t had the time to actually put together my first trip reports. I’ve been into some recording and live sound so I do have some equipment to do voice overs but no decent mix for the road as of yet.
I use iMovie and am stepping up to Adobe Premiere and maybe even try out some after effects (Gonna have tap into skill share for that).
You have been an inspiration Jeb. Loves your reports and these new videos too! You always leave me wanting more!
I completely agree with you, making TripReports is super fun to do and taking the first step and being willing to film and share is the biggest thing you need to overcome, that AND actually getting to fly often haha. Great video and I really enjoy watching your vids they inspire me a lot too. Cheerio
I have a Old Nikon Camera and a Android Phone, I can't do trip reports right now, but I enjoy all the RUclips trip reporter's.
Fantastic how to, Jeb! Plenty of helpful tips!
I just use my Samsung s9, but also have a nice small profile tripod with helps a lot.
"Using Storage like it's going out out of style" LOL Jeb that was great and doing video for a living I certainly know that feeling!
I could watch you describe paint drying...you make everything interesting...Your hands are HUGE! Oh and what's with that December 2020 teaser with that trophy? we have to wait a year??!!!! Thanks Jeb, always amazing content !
Very interesting information, and your trip reports are very enjoyable and informative. I’d never bother to do any trip reports myself, but I occasionally shoot some takeoff/landing scenes for YT. A few of them are good; most are of rather dubious quality!
I use my phone a Samsung S9 for the trip reports and for mainly planespotting a canon SX540 HS, going to be getting a GoPro for next year! Thanks for this video, it was really interesting!
Thank you so much for showing me this video I have my own video of one of my Southwest flights. I am looking to hopefully get a stabilizer for my iPhone. I have a iPhone 15 pro max i’m guessing the stabilizer in the camera is as good as it gets for starters, but I thought about getting a case just so I could have a better grip on my phone.
I use a go pro
Hey Jeb! I’d like to tell you that you can turn off the front gopro light in your gopro settings. I use the Joby Suction Cup & Locking Arm to film my window views and I love it! I use my iPhone to do small and short vids of boarding and in the seat, my gopro hero7 is on the window, and my DSLR if it feels comfortable. Safe travels!
Thanks Jeb for the great guidance on making trip reports! I enjoyed this video. Really helpful tip especially taping GoPro with black tape.
I also make trip report with Japanese audio and English subtitle. My set up is the followings:
DJI Osmo Pocket
GoPro Hero 7
GoPro mount
Samsung T5 portable SSD
So pretty similar setup. Cheers🥂
Jeb excellent video! Take a look at the lowepro 400 cam bag. It is roomy, well padded, and has a built in raincoat to keep your cams dry and dust free. I just bought one for $100 dollars off (amazon) and I love it! I have used the smaller one for years for my Nikon equipment and lenses and the protection is phenomenal! I have followed your videos and they are Excellent! Camera equipment is costly protect it. Also use caution when cleaning lens so you don't damage color coating I use a gentle lens brush only. Take care and keep those videos coming!
I always enjoy your videos Jeb. I had a thought come to my mind while watching this video. How about organizing a Jeb Brooks themed flight from somewhere to somewhere for your followers and aviation geeks. Maybe charter a jet with all business class seats and serve a first class meal. What do you think?
Hi Jeb Brooks i am From Maine with Team Rubicon i travel from Maine BIA to Hobby i have around 100k miles i have been on that trip 13 times in just 2019 i love your videos i am a videographer and photographer and i just want to say i LOVE all your footage newer and older content because of this video i think i am going to to try to do a video of my last trip to Team Rubicon Houston Rebuild so keep up the great footage
so NOW I know what you do with all those amenity kits! =)
Thank you Jeb for the "behind the scenes" look on how you do your trip reports.
These are the sort of videos I love the most
This and the ATC video was really good
thanks for this video! :D i'm going to try filming a flight for the first time today with my gopro... wish me luck!
I use my iPhone 10, a cannon t100 and my MacBook Air 2019 and I can produce decent videos. Also for starting you tubers like me you can just use the mic on any wired apple headphones and the sound comes out really well.
Jeb Brooks your transparent..continue being so....
I just use my iPhone 7+ and Windows Movie Maker. It does the job and it’s easy to get used to when I fly about 40 times a year...
Awesome video Jeb, thanks for sharing tips for us RUclipsrs that are just starting out
My Question: how did you get your RUclips channel rolling i.e. did you advertise your videos or spread the word or just let RUclips work its magic and naturally got lots of views?
Thanks for this info, as a Granny just starting out I found this very helpful, although I am pretty much 100% sure I won’t give Dennis a run for his money as a fellow Aussie traveller 😂😂
Oh man, Jeb. You and our mate Dennis B know how to put the joy of flying into a short segment and at the same time provide some real value as in this latest edition, in teaching your undoubted craft. I would love to meet you in the sky and yarn for hours about the why, how and what a great flight that was. PS you wouldn’t be flying to Ushuaia in Feb 2020, or Greece on May?
I am jealous of your a6500 xD I have the 6300 and LOVE it. Perfect balance of ISO performance and compact size. My only gripe was no Image stabilization (When I bought it the 6500 was not out yet). My go to lens is a Samyang 16mm F2. It's a large clunky lens on the tiny body but worth it. I love Samyang glass for its low cost, low distortion, and great sharpness which is why that 6500 in body image stabilization would have been nice. I love watching your videos I have only flows a few times in my life but do love it. Edit/PS at 5:44 if you ever accidentally delete video or pictures look up ZAR recovery software it has saved my butt a few times.
Jeb I hope you had a good Thanksgiving! That sent is a good camera as far as entry into the 4k field the fps for photography is nuts as well something like 11 fps I believe give or take. You can also do universal lens mount with sony which will allow you to do canon ef mounts for things like the 50 lrome which is a good lens, canon just has some good glassploy.
You should do a video on Ethiad Residence Class
Thanks for the great info Jeb. I use a GoPro Hero 7 and my iPhone 7 Plus for my videos on my RUclips Channel Caleb’s Aviation
Hello Jeb. Do you do the same type of recording when doing your train videos?
They make portable voice over booths of various sizes for your microphone. (Basically a shell of sound absorption blanket around the mic.) Unless you just enjoy hanging out in the pillow fort, which is understandable.
Interesting watching this video from a video professional's point of view. Also in the Triad so maybe we'll bump into one another at some point. Probably already have.
I love to watch and make trip reports so much! The only problem I have is the fact I edit my Full Flight Reviews on my iPhone XR. Right now my phone is not working so I have to find another way to edit a video. I had some great footage from the summer vacation I was on. I had a video I was going to upload about United's 777-200 with a 2-4-2 business class cabin. I also flew on one of United's Boeing 757-200's in their domestic first class cabin which are the same seats you would find on the international and transcontinental routes. I hope the footage would still be in the editing app because sometimes I would get my phone back and the app would lose the editing progress.
Hi @Jeb Brooks- what about video editing software for Windows?
Yes! thank you! I am trying to make a flight review channel and this is a big help!
By the way I use:
canon SL2 (200D)
Lense: Canon EF 18-55mm
Canon EFs 75-250mm
Gropro Hero 4
imovie
Some canon camcorder
iPhone XR
Hey Jeb, are you going on the inaugural flight with SAS A350 from Copenhagen to Chicago on Jan 28?
Cool video. I feel like I'd like to do this but with a wider variety of travel. I love to cruise and have had the fortune to have been a wide variety of place throughout the world. I think I would be better at travel advice but don't have the personality in my mind like many who do on these vlogs. I agree, I really just turn off the ones that just use subtitles. IMO, the other mistake many make is getting full of themselves and suddenly you have hour long vlogs, I follow a lot of people and don't have time for that. When it becomes about you and not the content, zzzzzzzzzz. Appreciate you have not fallen into that trap!
I'm here to smash the like button for the RUclips algorithm. Hey, Jeb what credit cards do you use for your travel?!
Thanks!! I use a combination of AmEx and Chase Sapphire.
@@GreenerGrass Love it! I just got approved for the Amex Platinum and already have the Amex Delta Blue card. I'd love to hear the best ways to maximize travel!
I use a Nikon A900 Coolpix, Nikon D3500, and iPhone XR. Looking to get myself a go pro
Hello, I want to make trip report with my Sony A6500 but do you think a 10mm is really needed ? 16 mm is zooming too lot ? Or I need to use another camera ?
hi,
can you use a cell phone to record take off and landings?
Can you fly Air Greenland?
Great info, I have a ton of travel footage that I have been hesitant to put up. Mostly because I am not well versed on editing. Any recommendations on that for a beginner? I use Apple mostly iPhone 13 pro max..mahalo!
