Been looking at the insta 360 cameras and i now you tried the insta rs but had issues with the quality i was wondering if you ever figured out how to make it better or you just said forget and deal with go pros. My wife and i have been thinking about recording our riding adventures and work we do to our bikes.
Please do take this as a compliment, you have been very instrumental and important in my hesitation to begin moto-vlogging. I have years of riding footage that I have collected but haven't done anything with any of it. Your transparency and frustrations in dealing with and battling the various algorithms and pressures of constant content creation along with other content creators frustrations have been an important perspective. What advice could you give in dealing with those frustrations and pressures and figuring out the algorithms so that it remains a fun thing to do. It is clearly apparent you put a lot of thought and research into these things in building your channel and the success of that work shows. It just seems though that so many get into content creation to get out of the typical rat race of life and it becomes a monster of a rat race of its own.
Unfortunately, there is no exact answer! I see creators with millions of subscribers, who have the exact same issues as creators who have 1000 subscribers. It’s just that inevitable feeling of putting your heart and soul into something you enjoy for it to not be well reciprocated in the end. RUclips has always, and will always be an ebb and flow. The best you can do is just always focus on what brings you happiness and only create when you really want to. Hopefully the bad times go away and new people decide to come along and share the life with you online. That’s all I could ever hope for!
I do have to say, you professional vloggers, got a lot going on. I had a few junk cameras from time to time just recording footage, but those videos were bad. so I never bothered. recently i started up again, not to be a youtube channel, just to record some of my favorite roads and save them for friends and such to watch. And, for me to re-watch over and over when i can not ride. so, i broke down and got a hero 9, then the aluminum helmet bracket , then the mic adaptor, then the silicone case, then paid for some editing software. OMG, but I record daily for security reasons, you know traffic issues and such. it got me into the routine. then just cutting some clips and adding them together. this video helped me to figure out whats what and what to use. so thank you ! there was a lot to research and put together, this video made it clear as day. Take care ! and thanks for the res, im only running at 1080@24 linear. I'm gonna mess around with that 2.7@60 this week.
Thank you lady! I'm just starting out and feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the steps but your video feels so clear and transparent - it's super helpful and makes this process feel more manageable. :)
Just started my own channel a few months ago and I will definitely be incorporating some of these items to improve my videos. Thanks for the great suggestions and video!
What a great resource, thank you so much for putting it together! My biggest challenge has been recording in-helmet narration/audio and easily syncing it with my footage. I’ve been recording it separately and trying to sync it in post but I think you’ve got the right idea here writing it directly to the GoPro footage. Really appreciate it your insight!
Great Vid thanks for sharing this. I’ve been working on my own channel for the last year and it’s not easy but I’ve had a good time doing it. I run the 256gb SDcards also. Big fan of the Adobe Suite also.
I've been watching youtube videos for over 10yrs, started posting videos to my channel last year, no monetization yet but getting there!! I recently ordered a few used gopros off ebay(still waiting for them) looking for a mic, this video has been really helpful! Thank you!! 😊
Thanks for all the insight and tips in this video. I am definitely working on improving my audio set up and this helped me understand what to buy without wasting a bunch of money. See you on the backroads!
Yeah I've been wondering what kind of travel gear you use? I have an '04 Road King and only have the stock bags on it and they aren't secure or very big. I do have the driver back rest, sissy bar and luggage rack, so I have space for larger bags, I just haven't started looking yet. I recently bought the bike and it is my first long distance capable bike, so needless to say I've been spending a lot of money in the shop either making repairs or doing some comfort upgrades. I have to give the previous owner credit for keeping it looking right, but they were a bit behind on maintenance or wear items, and I would love to know what the hell they used for a gps because I can't find anything to fit the wiring or the larger ball ram mount. Sadly it was all supposed to be removed on my last service (hydraulic cam chain tensioner) and bar (12") upgrade, but they reinstalled all of it GRRR! I've probably spent just about as much on service as I did the bike itself but I love it and don't really care that much but I'm running out of money. Last thing is a good yet inexpensive full face helmet. I'm heat intolerant and mine just doesn't ventilate well enough for long duration trips. I'd love to email you and discuss all this at some point and hope to see you and the hubby out on the road some time.
@mike_w_21 watch plenty of videos on RUclips. I've learned so much from basic editing, and now I'm starting to learn advanced things. RUclips is a great info/teaching source
I needed this video very much! Thank you. Just getting started on moto-vlogging. Inspired by you and Ol Man Ronin. I just recently bought a 2023 RE Himalayan. A second bike for me for camping. Just didn't want to haul camping gear on my '09 Street Glide. I'm hoping to get my first video out this year. Thanks for the inspiration.
I like your videos, and I really liked the adaptation of your gopro with the microphone is a very good idea for me to do for myself. I'm from Brazil and I love your videos.
I think you are the first person I have ever heard mention Tube buddy, and this is the first time I have heard of it. I will look into that. I think Go Pro settings are what I struggled with the most when I first started out, and it took a lot of trial and error, and skimming through everyone else's settings. I have a great helmet rig, though still trying to work through some winter wind noise because I add a wind screen during the winter (sportster bro here). Its not horrible, just not as good as I am used to. I think my biggest struggle is I work full time, AND have a part time job, so finding time to record is hard, especially now that daylight savings has ended, and the sun has already set when I get off work. 250 ish subs in 2 months is a good start I think, I just have to keep working at it. I don't know what the average channel growth is, but I imagine persistence is the key. If you have any other suggestions towards growth, I would appreciate it. I have ideas, just not enough time. Lol
I think a good rule of thumb for growth is to publish consistently and keep the topics relevant. Publishing consistently is a free meal ticket for viewers. Think of it as, “oh hey, they publish every week. I know i will be rewarded with content if I subscribe to this channel” As for thumbnails, i use Photoshop!
@@HerTwoWheels I can probably manage every 2 weeks for now. Its not a lot, but its a start. Is there a better day to upload than others? I can TRY for every week, but schedule and daylight availability right now makes that hard.
great info thank you. bad sound will wreck a great video so spending more on sound pays. i use corel video studio pro for my editing. i upgrade evey other year. so you may have talked me into moto blogging.
Just stated my youtube journey, and there is a massive learning curve on the editing. I have a lot to learn, and this video is very helpful, shame a lot of youtubers never do a video like this. I use hit film to edit, which comes with a small library of music, but the TubeBuddy is something I had not heard of before. I think that might help me moving foward, So thank you for this video.
Great advice! Starting a channel was one of the best things I've ever done. It's unlocked so many amazing experiences so far in just a short time. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about it. You don't need anything fancy. The gear doesn't matter too much if you're fun or interesting to watch or listen to. Except a microphone. Audio is surprisingly more important that video when it comes to keeping retention. Jess not sure if I told you but You, Blockhead and Shadetree made me want to try this. So damn fun! I use Vid IQ but I night try Tube Buddy to see of its better. Happy Turkey Day!
Thank you Jess. I am having so much stress in trying to equip my helmet with the right gear. I only have a GoPro 5 so I guess it’s time to upgrade. I know my son and I have a special,channel but I just need the time to promote it. Love your channel and the passion you have
Great video Jess! I have been “Going to start videoing my rides”, even to the point I mounted front and rear facing cameras but I have very limited editing skills! Another “I’m going to..” item. Maybe Next year… 😂
FANTASTIC! This gives the noob a great place to start. I have an INNOV system on my bikes, but it lacks the ability to give some of the personalization that you do. I tried a audio recorder, but that was such a pain to sync each time I stopped and restarted. Thanks for the information. Maybe I will try another video. My only one was of the Tail of the Dragon with my brother on his bike behind me.
I love this video! I’m kicking around starting a bit of motorcycle vlogging of my own from the angle of a social weirdo Autistic/ADHD rider. This is helpful! The only thing I wish other creators would try, and I see the opportunity here as well, is moving away from auto white balance. I can tell who’s doing it because their content tends to look cold/blue even when they are complaining about the heat. The colors will pop more, good natural contrast range etc if WB is manually set. Just leaving it at something like 6000K when shooting outdoors, day or night, would go a long way.
i'm a huge fan of many of you motorbloggers and thought i might like to try it, but i found as a person in my mid 60's i am just not tech savy enough, so i will just enjoy y'alls video
That's not a problem for me. The problem is getting motivated to edit the footage. I spend all day on a computer for work and editing is time consuming. Especially since I don't know what I'm doing. lol.
Super useful, thank you! The one thing I keep struggling with is audio quality out of the helmet. I have three different lav mics, tried all with deadcats and foam, tried plugging them into the gopro 7 black media mod, AND tried them with a zoom field recorder, and pretty much no matter what I do, above 40mph or so the wind noise becomes so loud that the audio starts clipping and popping and ends up being unusable. I also tried it with the mic being right in front of my mouth, with the mic being to the side, but not under the cheekpad, with the mic being under the cheekpad, to no avail. Therefore no videos yet :/ How did you figure out what setup would work for you? Did you run into this / similar problem?
Thanks for the tips, Jess! I've been a long-time follower of your channel and am always looking for ways to improve and grow with my videos! Thanks for being you!
I was so pumped about starting a RUclips channel. Watched a lot of videos on motovlog set ups. Including yours. Went out bought all the equipment, set it all up, recorded a few test runs and completely lost all motivation. It is so much work, and it so easy to say forget it and just go for a ride. The whole thing I think is a bit overwhelming to me, that and I hate the sound of my own voice 🤣. So how do you motivate yourself to get out and create a video?
Jess, I love your work & your community, specially Amanda Zitto! How do you make your Thumbnails? What program & font style. I think they look great. You have inspired me alot - Thanks!
I do well capturing video, riding and managing the cameras all at once…forget trying to decide what to say while riding. There is no vlogging while riding here. I use Insta360 onex2 (a large editing learning curve but well worth it) and a GoPro Hero9. I admire those of you who can vlog while riding. My style is to just voice over in editing.
Thanks for doing this video. I'm bookmarking it to get some of the gear you're using. My channel isn't very big, but I want to make better quality videos, and this will help.
Great video and i appreciate you sharing your set up. My only question is do you have a method for capturing intercom conversations? My husband and I both use Sena and i would love to add some of our conversations from our trips. I'll check out your other videos but if you have a recommendation that would be great!
Great information, my problem is I have a very "chill personality" which imo people would find very boring and not watch and two I don't have the balls to be doing wheelies and 150mph pulls on the Highway which is the type of content I LOVE and it seems to get the most views honestly!!!
I don’t have any questions right now but if I do I’ll let you know thanks for the video I just started my RUclips channel thank you Jess right safe out there
i have been researching cams other than gopro . they seem to have issues that they never fix, based on some of the vids i have seen. not sure if there is any thing better yet but im still looking . good vid
A lot more information than your first how to motovlog video. My question is do you think it's hard to even get to close to where you are if starting out in 2022/2023? And do you think your gender has given you an advantage? I mean there's tons of male content creators out there but no one has blown up as quickly as you have. Having met you in person a few times (hope your hat fits 😂) I personally believe it's because of your authenticity, personality, openness, and your genuineness. Stay warm up there!
Hi Jess, Thanks for putting this together. I am not starting a channel but I have been on a push to improve my "home movies" of my motorcycle travels & camping so there is a lot that applies. Thanks for sharing your hard-won experience! BTW - Maybe it's because most of your vlogs are in a helmet but I noticed the strong makeup game today. Well done and not overdone. Didn't detract at all from the things you were showing us but I did notice.
Omg girllll we have the same exact helmet !!! Same color and everything I loveeee this helmet! Highly reccomend it ! I plan to start posting videos soon! :) you inspired me !!
Jess, I really appreciate all the information about how you put on your MotoVlogging production, it was very useful. I've been using my GoPro 10 for a year now when I ride, and have it mounted facing forward about where you have your 3rd person view on your your bars. My question is what is the best way you have found to routinely start and stop the camera's? are you using a GoPro remote(s) or are you doing what I do and taking a hand off the bars and tapping the top of the camera? I just watched your latest video on the your red helmet and all I can say is welcome to the NeoTec2 club; once you go modular its hard to go back, just remember to push the integrated dark visor back up before you go into a tunnel...yikes.
Thank you for all this info! I am planning on getting my vids going in the spring so when I head to Sturgis 2023 for my first time I hope to create some descent vids. Question about your computer. What computer and specs of it do you use? When I did my first 3 videos (that are on my channel for you to go watch (Shameless plug, LOL) I found that my photo editing computer isn't good enough to edit video. It works fine for professional still photog but won't render video and the transitions worth a darn. Thanks in advance.
I have 100 and some videos out. I never really knew how to make all that stuff be in sync for searching and finding the channel. Still not sure if I understand but I’m gonna give those keywords a try. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Hey thank you for video. I do have a question what kind of a computer do you recommend for doing videos. This video was perfect timing because I am currently looking for a new computer. Again thanks for any help.
Nice generalization of the full set up. Appreciate seeing this stuff. Also… Tubebuddy… I’m going to have to check that out. Thanks for the amazing content Jess.
How difficult was the editing learning curve for the 360 cam? How long have you used epidemic sound & how would you compare it to the free use music from RUclips studio audio? I've been moving my recordings off the SD and onto an external tera drive for storage.
It took me well over a year to get a hang of editing the 360º footage. I just use the insta 360 software and export it as a flat mp4, then import into premiere. And Epidemic has legit been a game changer to my videos. The youtube music didn't exist when I first started, so that's exciting to know it's there now... but I will orobably always use epidemic. Literally hundreds of thousands of songs and sounds!
AWESOME!!! I wanted to start making videos similar to the style of "Fridays the bomb" and "itchy boots" but with my twist to it when I return to the States. Mainly an Enduro/MX and minimalist camping out of my dual sport bike type of videos and occasionally also include my vtx 1800s. Have you thought about using drones to add more dramatic and beautiful scenes? EDIT: I forgot to thank you for saving me time by giving me all this valuable information on a silver platter so THANK YOU!!!
Thinking of re ording my rides on my spyder, have modular helmet with a comm system, what kind of mic recommend, also may want to go with helmet cam and one the spyder, didnt know of any deals to get 2 gopro
Hey Jess, love the channel and thanks for putting this video together. I have a small gaming channel (this one) and I think I would like to try moto vlogging. Perhaps with a new channel or revamp this one since I no longer play the game. So, I have my setup, Hero 8 black on the chin with mic adapter and a Purple Panda mic, session 5 on the handlebars, I think I have a really decent start. I'm riding a 05 1200c Sportster. But I guess that's enough of a back story that really has nothing to do with my question, 😁 My question is that after a few test rides, everything looks and sounds great. Vocals are clear with a nice drone from the Sportster in the background and zero wind noise. Overall, I'm pleased, but I noticed that I look around way too much. I don't notice it during the ride, but it's nearly sickening to watch the playback. Literally left to right for the entire video. Watching your videos, you don't seem to have this issue. Is this the way you naturally ride, or is this learned skill? If this is something you had to overcome, do you have any tips for the wanna be vlogger? Thanks and keep up the great work.
I am curious to know how you are getting audio of your conversations with fellow riders onto your video. With the microphone being mounted as is in your helmet.
When you’re riding do you let your cameras roll continuously or do you choose choice moments to turn them on? How do you manage this so you don’t miss anything?
Oh yeah what would be the best budget laptop that you could use for adobe premiere that will edit videos smoothly. The laptop I have no struggles with adobe rush. Have you ever used adobe rush? I did do the trial version of adobe premiere, but seem like I was very slow at it. I know overtime I would’ve got quicker but rush seems to do the job just fine. But I don’t make videos as well as you do. Thank you.
I forgive you lol. JK,, There’s plenty of videos I can find for that answer. Anyway, I just wanted to hear from you. Thank you for your time and response.
How are the older GoPros with battery life? I have the Hero 11, and the battery often craps out before I can finish my 1 hr 10 min ride to work, even with all the fancy features like GPS and WiFi and connect to app turned off, and I have the "Video Mode" turned to "longest".
Jess Happy early Thanksgiving, Okay so do you have a drone that tracks you and films like Itchy Boots? If so how does it work. I have asked Noraly but no response as of yet.
I do, unfortunately it is illegal to pilot a drone in “follow” mode. It is also illegal to fly a drone for business purposes unless you have your part 107 license by the FAA.
Videos like this helped me out a ton when I wanted to start making content and there's always more to learn. Like now I know about TubeBuuddy! So thanks Jess, I really appreciate it.
Hey Jess! Here's a question for you: with the equipment/post-production and experience you have now, what would you do different if you started it all today? Once more, in the coming future, what newer/better/what have you, equipment you'd like to use or try? Is this something you research often? I mean you're a full-timer and all, lol.
Hey Jess. You continue to be an inspiration to me. One of you previous videos actually helped me to figure out how to get clear audio. I have been considering using Tube Buddy but have been hesitant( I really don't know why). I am finally almost to 1000 subscribers and am trying to improve my editing skills. Keep up the good work.
I'm new at motovlog and trying to get everything dialed in. I'm getting a lot of popping from my mic. It's not all the time though. I'm using purple panda mic, with the media mod on my hero 8. I know you have said in previous videos that you have used xbox headset mics. Do you get any popping now, and did you get any with the xbox headset mic? Great content btw. And let the haters hate! Hopefully one day I will be on your level. Lol. THANKS your neighbor from Richmond Kentucky.
Is it erratic popping or popping when you talk? Erratic popping might be a loose connection. If it pops when you talk, do you have the mic right in front of your mouth? If so, move it to the side a bit so it doesn't catch your breathing or be so sensitive to plosives like Ps and Ts. If you look at this vid when Jess opened her Modular, you could see both mics are off the side a bit, not dead center.
Honestly it's both. It seems more like wind but its sporadic. I can record for 30 minutes and it will be fine. Cut for outro and it will be popping. I have 2 separate mics like Jess. Kinda. I have my cardo packtalk bold mic, then I have my purple panda mic clipped to my boom mic for my cardo. I've checked connections, everything is connected good and new....I've even put chin gaurd on, and nothing helps.
Yes and have alternated. I usually run hero 8 on my helmet, but switched to the 9 to see if the issue would resolve. Same. It may be the clip. I didn’t think of that.
Feel free to ask any questions!

First thank you for making this video.
My question is how do you build relationships with sponsor or affiliates?
Been looking at the insta 360 cameras and i now you tried the insta rs but had issues with the quality i was wondering if you ever figured out how to make it better or you just said forget and deal with go pros. My wife and i have been thinking about recording our riding adventures and work we do to our bikes.
Had nothing to do with the cameras but love your hair and great job on your makeup.
Please do take this as a compliment, you have been very instrumental and important in my hesitation to begin moto-vlogging. I have years of riding footage that I have collected but haven't done anything with any of it. Your transparency and frustrations in dealing with and battling the various algorithms and pressures of constant content creation along with other content creators frustrations have been an important perspective.

Same - planning ahead.
Awesome review! Great items! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!

I love seeing how everyone sets up their helmets and gopros, there's so many ways to skin that cat. Does you mic adaptor have a gain or volume knob?
Nope! Nothing! But i’ve never really had an issue with peaking or anything. It films in mono which is frustrating, but that’s about it.
@@HerTwoWheels Must be a media mod thing, my audio used to peak so hard. This was super fun to watch!
Thank you lady! I'm just starting out and feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the steps but your video feels so clear and transparent - it's super helpful and makes this process feel more manageable. :)
Just started my own channel a few months ago and I will definitely be incorporating some of these items to improve my videos. Thanks for the great suggestions and video!
happy thanksgiving enjoy your turkey awsome year you had
What great timing. I want to start videoing my trips. But I'm old and scared of the editing aspect. Thx Jess!
What a great resource, thank you so much for putting it together! My biggest challenge has been recording in-helmet narration/audio and easily syncing it with my footage. I’ve been recording it separately and trying to sync it in post but I think you’ve got the right idea here writing it directly to the GoPro footage. Really appreciate it your insight!
Hey Jess, This video is fantastic for people like me who are clueless about motovlogging. Thanks! Prayers Flying for safe travels
Great Vid thanks for sharing this. I’ve been working on my own channel for the last year and it’s not easy but I’ve had a good time doing it. I run the 256gb SDcards also. Big fan of the Adobe Suite also.
I've been watching youtube videos for over 10yrs, started posting videos to my channel last year, no monetization yet but getting there!!
I recently ordered a few used gopros off ebay(still waiting for them) looking for a mic, this video has been really helpful! Thank you!! 😊
Thanks for all the insight and tips in this video. I am definitely working on improving my audio set up and this helped me understand what to buy without wasting a bunch of money. See you on the backroads!
Yeah I've been wondering what kind of travel gear you use? I have an '04 Road King and only have the stock bags on it and they aren't secure or very big. I do have the driver back rest, sissy bar and luggage rack, so I have space for larger bags, I just haven't started looking yet. I recently bought the bike and it is my first long distance capable bike, so needless to say I've been spending a lot of money in the shop either making repairs or doing some comfort upgrades. I have to give the previous owner credit for keeping it looking right, but they were a bit behind on maintenance or wear items, and I would love to know what the hell they used for a gps because I can't find anything to fit the wiring or the larger ball ram mount. Sadly it was all supposed to be removed on my last service (hydraulic cam chain tensioner) and bar (12") upgrade, but they reinstalled all of it GRRR! I've probably spent just about as much on service as I did the bike itself but I love it and don't really care that much but I'm running out of money.

I'd love to email you and discuss all this at some point and hope to see you and the hubby out on the road some time.
Great job!
Learning how to edit was definitely a challenging aspect but once you start learning advanced things it gets quite fun🙂
Stay safe!
What made this process easier for you/advice would you give?
@mike_w_21 watch plenty of videos on RUclips. I've learned so much from basic editing, and now I'm starting to learn advanced things. RUclips is a great info/teaching source
Peralatan yang sudah memadai buat seorang pemula
Buat saya yang pemula, dengan alat-alat seperti itu, sudah lebih dari cukup
I needed this video very much! Thank you. Just getting started on moto-vlogging. Inspired by you and Ol Man Ronin. I just recently bought a 2023 RE Himalayan. A second bike for me for camping. Just didn't want to haul camping gear on my '09 Street Glide. I'm hoping to get my first video out this year. Thanks for the inspiration.
I like your videos, and I really liked the adaptation of your gopro with the microphone is a very good idea for me to do for myself. I'm from Brazil and I love your videos.
Glad to see you are taking the high road. Very informative Thank you
I think you are the first person I have ever heard mention Tube buddy, and this is the first time I have heard of it. I will look into that.
I think Go Pro settings are what I struggled with the most when I first started out, and it took a lot of trial and error, and skimming through everyone else's settings.
I have a great helmet rig, though still trying to work through some winter wind noise because I add a wind screen during the winter (sportster bro here). Its not horrible, just not as good as I am used to.
I think my biggest struggle is I work full time, AND have a part time job, so finding time to record is hard, especially now that daylight savings has ended, and the sun has already set when I get off work.
250 ish subs in 2 months is a good start I think, I just have to keep working at it. I don't know what the average channel growth is, but I imagine persistence is the key.
If you have any other suggestions towards growth, I would appreciate it. I have ideas, just not enough time. Lol
Also, what do you use to create your thunbnails, because that is one thing I seem to be struggling at. What makes a good thumbnail?
I think a good rule of thumb for growth is to publish consistently and keep the topics relevant. Publishing consistently is a free meal ticket for viewers. Think of it as, “oh hey, they publish every week. I know i will be rewarded with content if I subscribe to this channel”
As for thumbnails, i use Photoshop!
@@HerTwoWheels I can probably manage every 2 weeks for now. Its not a lot, but its a start. Is there a better day to upload than others?
I can TRY for every week, but schedule and daylight availability right now makes that hard.
And yet another great video from Jess Thanks Jess for the info...Happy Thanksgiving to you and your's !
great info thank you. bad sound will wreck a great video so spending more on sound pays. i use corel video studio pro for my editing. i upgrade evey other year.
so you may have talked me into moto blogging.
Very informative. Thank for sharing. Have a Great Thanksgiving!!
Just stated my youtube journey, and there is a massive learning curve on the editing. I have a lot to learn, and this video is very helpful, shame a lot of youtubers never do a video like this. I use hit film to edit, which comes with a small library of music, but the TubeBuddy is something I had not heard of before. I think that might help me moving foward, So thank you for this video.
Great advice! Starting a channel was one of the best things I've ever done. It's unlocked so many amazing experiences so far in just a short time. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about it. You don't need anything fancy. The gear doesn't matter too much if you're fun or interesting to watch or listen to. Except a microphone. Audio is surprisingly more important that video when it comes to keeping retention. Jess not sure if I told you but You, Blockhead and Shadetree made me want to try this. So damn fun! I use Vid IQ but I night try Tube Buddy to see of its better. Happy Turkey Day!
I hear great things about both!!
Thank you Jess. I am having so much stress in trying to equip my helmet with the right gear. I only have a GoPro 5 so I guess it’s time to upgrade. I know my son and I have a special,channel but I just need the time to promote it. Love your channel and the passion you have
Thanks so much I’m going to start making a more dirt bike themed channel and and all these tips where super helpful
Thanks for the overviews, I think it’s time to just jump in!!
The important thing is to keep the enthusiasm and continue to make the next video I always wish you good luck
Absolute epic video as always you are a huge inspiration for me to get my endorsement and I want to start filming as well
Great video Jess! I have been “Going to start videoing my rides”, even to the point I mounted front and rear facing cameras but I have very limited editing skills! Another “I’m going to..” item. Maybe Next year… 😂
FANTASTIC! This gives the noob a great place to start. I have an INNOV system on my bikes, but it lacks the ability to give some of the personalization that you do. I tried a audio recorder, but that was such a pain to sync each time I stopped and restarted.
Thanks for the information. Maybe I will try another video. My only one was of the Tail of the Dragon with my brother on his bike behind me.
Definitely give it another go!
I love this video! I’m kicking around starting a bit of motorcycle vlogging of my own from the angle of a social weirdo Autistic/ADHD rider. This is helpful!
The only thing I wish other creators would try, and I see the opportunity here as well, is moving away from auto white balance. I can tell who’s doing it because their content tends to look cold/blue even when they are complaining about the heat. The colors will pop more, good natural contrast range etc if WB is manually set. Just leaving it at something like 6000K when shooting outdoors, day or night, would go a long way.
That transition to the adobe perspective was smooth af!
Thanks for the great video. I have mostly everything I need although the editing software not sure what to get for beginners etc...
I don't care what anyone else thinks. I love all your videos and Jordan's too!
i'm a huge fan of many of you motorbloggers and thought i might like to try it, but i found as a person in my mid 60's i am just not tech savy enough, so i will just enjoy y'alls video
Just keep going man . Even younger guys struggle with the tech trust me ! Let's just struggle together 😅 haha keep trying man 👍
Perfect timing and a little motivation for me. Already have the gear, now I just need to get off my a** and press record. Great job!!!
Pressing record is the hardest part!
That's not a problem for me. The problem is getting motivated to edit the footage. I spend all day on a computer for work and editing is time consuming. Especially since I don't know what I'm doing. lol.
Super useful, thank you! The one thing I keep struggling with is audio quality out of the helmet. I have three different lav mics, tried all with deadcats and foam, tried plugging them into the gopro 7 black media mod, AND tried them with a zoom field recorder, and pretty much no matter what I do, above 40mph or so the wind noise becomes so loud that the audio starts clipping and popping and ends up being unusable. I also tried it with the mic being right in front of my mouth, with the mic being to the side, but not under the cheekpad, with the mic being under the cheekpad, to no avail. Therefore no videos yet :/
How did you figure out what setup would work for you? Did you run into this / similar problem?
Hello, thanks for the tips, I'm from the Philippines, i want to try motovlogging and your vid is the first vid that i watched.
Thanks for the tips, Jess! I've been a long-time follower of your channel and am always looking for ways to improve and grow with my videos! Thanks for being you!
I was so pumped about starting a RUclips channel. Watched a lot of videos on motovlog set ups. Including yours. Went out bought all the equipment, set it all up, recorded a few test runs and completely lost all motivation. It is so much work, and it so easy to say forget it and just go for a ride. The whole thing I think is a bit overwhelming to me, that and I hate the sound of my own voice 🤣. So how do you motivate yourself to get out and create a video?
I also shoot in 2.7K with a 256GB Memory card I can record 7-8hrs (when its direct powered) if I need to.
Jess, I love your work & your community, specially Amanda Zitto! How do you make your Thumbnails? What program & font style. I think they look great. You have inspired me alot - Thanks!
Thanks Jess.
Been toying with the idea of filming for utube. Not a fan of go pro though. Thanks for some of the tips
I do well capturing video, riding and managing the cameras all at once…forget trying to decide what to say while riding. There is no vlogging while riding here. I use Insta360 onex2 (a large editing learning curve but well worth it) and a GoPro Hero9.
I admire those of you who can vlog while riding. My style is to just voice over in editing.
Thanks for doing this video. I'm bookmarking it to get some of the gear you're using. My channel isn't very big, but I want to make better quality videos, and this will help.
Great video and i appreciate you sharing your set up. My only question is do you have a method for capturing intercom conversations? My husband and I both use Sena and i would love to add some of our conversations from our trips. I'll check out your other videos but if you have a recommendation that would be great!
I’m ready to start! I’ve done some tests. Now it’s time to plan some adventures. 🤘
Thanks Jess great information as always it helps a lot.
Just to throw out another editing application option, DaVinci Resolve has a free version (with most of the features) and is very good
Jordan has been using that one and he really likes it!
Great information, my problem is I have a very "chill personality" which imo people would find very boring and not watch and two I don't have the balls to be doing wheelies and 150mph pulls on the Highway which is the type of content I LOVE and it seems to get the most views honestly!!!
Have you met my husband? 😂
Great video. Thanks for sharing some of your techniques.
not to big on starting a channel or anything but am interested in maybe filming some footage of a ride. this gives me some ideas....thanks
I don’t have any questions right now but if I do I’ll let you know thanks for the video I just started my RUclips channel thank you Jess right safe out there
i have been researching cams other than gopro . they seem to have issues that they never fix, based on some of the vids i have seen. not sure if there is any thing better yet but im still looking . good vid
Same. I have tried a few other brands. Nothing has come close to the quality of gopro
A lot more information than your first how to motovlog video. My question is do you think it's hard to even get to close to where you are if starting out in 2022/2023? And do you think your gender has given you an advantage? I mean there's tons of male content creators out there but no one has blown up as quickly as you have. Having met you in person a few times (hope your hat fits 😂) I personally believe it's because of your authenticity, personality, openness, and your genuineness. Stay warm up there!
Hi Jess, Thanks for putting this together. I am not starting a channel but I have been on a push to improve my "home movies" of my motorcycle travels & camping so there is a lot that applies. Thanks for sharing your hard-won experience!
BTW - Maybe it's because most of your vlogs are in a helmet but I noticed the strong makeup game today. Well done and not overdone. Didn't detract at all from the things you were showing us but I did notice.
I am a girl. I very much enjoy doing my makeup 😂 thank you for the comment! 😁
I followed your lead and got the One X2 several months ago. Also, I got the Adobe. Ugh. Still trying to learn to use it all! 🙃
appreciate you sharing this valuable information
Omg girllll we have the same exact helmet !!! Same color and everything I loveeee this helmet! Highly reccomend it ! I plan to start posting videos soon! :) you inspired me !!
I have premier Pro and I find it very difficult,, most of the time I don't use it,, love your videos
👏👏👏👏 Fantastic video Jess 😎😎😎👍
Hi Jess! Thanks for this video, I admire all of your videos.
I wish I would have watched a Vid like this 6 years ago when I started my channel. This is so good! Thanks for making this to help others. 👏🏼💜
VERY informative video. Thought about vlogging, but it seemed too complicated. Thank you for breaking it down.
Jess, I really appreciate all the information about how you put on your MotoVlogging production, it was very useful. I've been using my GoPro 10 for a year now when I ride, and have it mounted facing forward about where you have your 3rd person view on your your bars. My question is what is the best way you have found to routinely start and stop the camera's? are you using a GoPro remote(s) or are you doing what I do and taking a hand off the bars and tapping the top of the camera? I just watched your latest video on the your red helmet and all I can say is welcome to the NeoTec2 club; once you go modular its hard to go back, just remember to push the integrated dark visor back up before you go into a tunnel...yikes.
Thank you for all this info! I am planning on getting my vids going in the spring so when I head to Sturgis 2023 for my first time I hope to create some descent vids. Question about your computer. What computer and specs of it do you use? When I did my first 3 videos (that are on my channel for you to go watch (Shameless plug, LOL) I found that my photo editing computer isn't good enough to edit video. It works fine for professional still photog but won't render video and the transitions worth a darn. Thanks in advance.
Thank you! I just started my motovlog channel, wish me luck 🤞🏻
I have 100 and some videos out. I never really knew how to make all that stuff be in sync for searching and finding the channel. Still not sure if I understand but I’m gonna give those keywords a try. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Give TubeBuddy a try! (Maybe watch a couple videos first) but it’s legit free and is an integral part to my SEO process!
You inspired my channel being created. I just uploaded simple riding videos this year. But I hope to have an inside helmet mic for 2023. :)
Hey thank you for video. I do have a question what kind of a computer do you recommend for doing videos. This video was perfect timing because I am currently looking for a new computer. Again thanks for any help.
Thank you!!
I would love to see how do You use tube buddy to optimize your videos. I would love to get more value of this subscription. Ride safe great content
Nice generalization of the full set up. Appreciate seeing this stuff.
Also… Tubebuddy… I’m going to have to check that out. Thanks for the amazing content Jess.
How difficult was the editing learning curve for the 360 cam?
How long have you used epidemic sound & how would you compare it to the free use music from RUclips studio audio?
I've been moving my recordings off the SD and onto an external tera drive for storage.
It took me well over a year to get a hang of editing the 360º footage. I just use the insta 360 software and export it as a flat mp4, then import into premiere. And Epidemic has legit been a game changer to my videos. The youtube music didn't exist when I first started, so that's exciting to know it's there now... but I will orobably always use epidemic. Literally hundreds of thousands of songs and sounds!
AWESOME!!! I wanted to start making videos similar to the style of "Fridays the bomb" and "itchy boots" but with my twist to it when I return to the States. Mainly an Enduro/MX and minimalist camping out of my dual sport bike type of videos and occasionally also include my vtx 1800s. Have you thought about using drones to add more dramatic and beautiful scenes?
EDIT: I forgot to thank you for saving me time by giving me all this valuable information on a silver platter so THANK YOU!!!
I'm super lazy! So I hope this video can help others accomplish their goals with minimal effort!
Thinking of re ording my rides on my spyder, have modular helmet with a comm system, what kind of mic recommend, also may want to go with helmet cam and one the spyder, didnt know of any deals to get 2 gopro
Can you do a video on editing? Like when you sync up your cameras and sound together. Like you go from camera 1 to camera 2 seamlessly
check out the video I posted at the end of this one!!
Thank you for doing this video I found it to be very informative. I'm about 34 videos in to my knew channel lots to learn .
Hey Jess, love the channel and thanks for putting this video together. I have a small gaming channel (this one) and I think I would like to try moto vlogging. Perhaps with a new channel or revamp this one since I no longer play the game. So, I have my setup, Hero 8 black on the chin with mic adapter and a Purple Panda mic, session 5 on the handlebars, I think I have a really decent start. I'm riding a 05 1200c Sportster. But I guess that's enough of a back story that really has nothing to do with my question, 😁 My question is that after a few test rides, everything looks and sounds great. Vocals are clear with a nice drone from the Sportster in the background and zero wind noise. Overall, I'm pleased, but I noticed that I look around way too much. I don't notice it during the ride, but it's nearly sickening to watch the playback. Literally left to right for the entire video. Watching your videos, you don't seem to have this issue. Is this the way you naturally ride, or is this learned skill? If this is something you had to overcome, do you have any tips for the wanna be vlogger? Thanks and keep up the great work.
I am curious to know how you are getting audio of your conversations with fellow riders onto your video. With the microphone being mounted as is in your helmet.
I love you for making this video as I am going to start making moto blogs from next week
When you’re riding do you let your cameras roll continuously or do you choose choice moments to turn them on? How do you manage this so you don’t miss anything?
Very informative, thank you.
Oh yeah what would be the best budget laptop that you could use for adobe premiere that will edit videos smoothly. The laptop I have no struggles with adobe rush. Have you ever used adobe rush? I did do the trial version of adobe premiere, but seem like I was very slow at it. I know overtime I would’ve got quicker but rush seems to do the job just fine. But I don’t make videos as well as you do. Thank you.
I personally don’t know the answer to that one. I’ve been using macintosh computers since I was 15 years old 😂 i personally use a 2019 Macbook pro
I forgive you lol. JK,, There’s plenty of videos I can find for that answer. Anyway, I just wanted to hear from you. Thank you for your time and response.
How are the older GoPros with battery life? I have the Hero 11, and the battery often craps out before I can finish my 1 hr 10 min ride to work, even with all the fancy features like GPS and WiFi and connect to app turned off, and I have the "Video Mode" turned to "longest".
Jess Happy early Thanksgiving, Okay so do you have a drone that tracks you and films like Itchy Boots? If so how does it work. I have asked Noraly but no response as of yet.
I do, unfortunately it is illegal to pilot a drone in “follow” mode. It is also illegal to fly a drone for business purposes unless you have your part 107 license by the FAA.
Thank you for sharing! ✨🙏💖😁✨
Videos like this helped me out a ton when I wanted to start making content and there's always more to learn. Like now I know about TubeBuuddy! So thanks Jess, I really appreciate it.
So descriptive thanks ma'am
Hey Jess! Here's a question for you: with the equipment/post-production and experience you have now, what would you do different if you started it all today? Once more, in the coming future, what newer/better/what have you, equipment you'd like to use or try? Is this something you research often? I mean you're a full-timer and all, lol.
Thank you ! From hopefully a soon to be moto vlogger lol
Hey Jess. You continue to be an inspiration to me. One of you previous videos actually helped me to figure out how to get clear audio. I have been considering using Tube Buddy but have been hesitant( I really don't know why). I am finally almost to 1000 subscribers and am trying to improve my editing skills. Keep up the good work.
Also... Check the helmet laws in regards to mounting anything on a helmet
Good job lady!
I'm new at motovlog and trying to get everything dialed in. I'm getting a lot of popping from my mic. It's not all the time though. I'm using purple panda mic, with the media mod on my hero 8. I know you have said in previous videos that you have used xbox headset mics. Do you get any popping now, and did you get any with the xbox headset mic? Great content btw. And let the haters hate! Hopefully one day I will be on your level. Lol. THANKS your neighbor from Richmond Kentucky.
I never got popping unless i was riding faster than 90mph without a windshield lol. I hated the purple panda mic!
Is it erratic popping or popping when you talk? Erratic popping might be a loose connection. If it pops when you talk, do you have the mic right in front of your mouth? If so, move it to the side a bit so it doesn't catch your breathing or be so sensitive to plosives like Ps and Ts. If you look at this vid when Jess opened her Modular, you could see both mics are off the side a bit, not dead center.
Honestly it's both. It seems more like wind but its sporadic. I can record for 30 minutes and it will be fine. Cut for outro and it will be popping. I have 2 separate mics like Jess. Kinda. I have my cardo packtalk bold mic, then I have my purple panda mic clipped to my boom mic for my cardo. I've checked connections, everything is connected good and new....I've even put chin gaurd on, and nothing helps.
@@badlsxgarage if the clip moves, it might induce noise. Try running that separately, more isolated. Do you have a 2nd camera to try?
Yes and have alternated. I usually run hero 8 on my helmet, but switched to the 9 to see if the issue would resolve. Same. It may be the clip. I didn’t think of that.
