How I film driving videos with GoPro camera

[@chrisphillippo591]

Hey thank you. I was curious. been falling to sleep to your stuff for a while now! thnx for the content!

[@TheRainDriver]

Thanks Chris, I really appreciate that.

[@Heahke]

What baffled me most wasn't the setup but how you "manage" to get hours of rain on end 😂 Don't know if you loop videos but it didn't seem too extreme - but the endless rain does seek extreme! Wettest spot on earth.

[@TheRainDriver]

Sometimes I loop after a long while sometimes I don't. I have 4 Gopro batteries so that's 4 hours of continuous recording. I plan on buying more because I want to record really long continuous drives. Appreciate the comment.

[@WhatsDaveUpTo]

@@TheRainDriver how do you record for hours at 4k 60fps oon the cameras because they are notorious for overheating

[@michaelwestmoreland2530]

What brand of wipers are those? That's the cleanest damn wipe I've ever seen.

[@miamigt4922]

I use the RoadSpy mount version that is made for 2013-2024 Porsches, best mount I’ve ever had.

[@TheRainDriver]

I might look into that. I just bought a film tools mount as well. Might have to do an update video on my current setup. Appreciate the comment.

Hi natbarron!

[@g4mrplays]

oh that's hard! thanks bro! Hope you have a great 2024. Gonna add headrest mount to my list. Gonna be driving my Z 2023 a lot lmao

[@anyjimblogs]

Thanks for the video and for sharing your set up. How do you ensure you do not get reflection of the dash board in the wind screen visible on the camera footage?

[@TheRainDriver]

@anyjimblogs this is an older set up. I now use a zoom mic mounted in the vehicle. As far as the reflection goes you have to find that sweet spot, either further away from the windshield.Or super close.

[@anyjimblogs]

@@TheRainDriver thank you for the reply. I will keep trying with my set up.

[@reementertainment]

How do you solve overheating problems? Can you record longer videos without overheating?

[@TheRainDriver]

Putting the defroster on cold allows the gopro to last as long as the battery does. The Gopro 12 will go for 2 hours in my experience.

[@bruhonyt1542]

wow

[@deepanjan.sengupta]

Amazing video, I wanted to find a solution to this fixing of GoPro. Out of the two fixtures which one provides more stabilisation and cancels jerks?

[@trezantrez]

Thank you

[@jeanmarteau3186]

HI great job and good explanation thank you I would like to buy the tool that you used to attach your gopro to your windshield. can you give me the link thank you a lot

[@TheRainDriver]

"gopro Windshield Mount" on amazon or gopro website. They also sell the mount at Wal-Mart stores.

[@jeanmarteau3186]

@@TheRainDriver I am from France bro I've tried several Windshield Mounts, but unfortunately I'm not satisfied with the results of the video. Maybe it's the way I attach it that's not right, or the Mount itself. If you can share the link to your Windshield Mount I'd be very grateful.

[@_CashFlowTy]

Nice mount you have a link for it ?

[@TheRainDriver]

Tackform headrest mount on amazon

[@hisoka1070]

Wow

[@fatihontheroad]

With which device you record the voice? I couldn't see the device which your mic connected

[@TheRainDriver]

I connect it to a zoom field recorder and sync it later, or I can connect it to the gopro media mod.

[@Shafieiphone]

Hi, may I know what’s the product name? Head rest mount extender??

[@allandelacruz1904]

What mic are you using?

[@Kevaughan]

Any filters or just the stock lens?

[@streetlife4k]

which lav do you use and do you put that into an external audio recorder, how do you sync all the videos and audio

[@TheRainDriver]

I was using the zoom lavalier mic connected to Zoom H6 but now using some xlr pencil microphones. I mix the GoPro audio with the Zoom audio in Vegas Pro. You can honk the horn or clap so both mics will pick it up for syncing purposes.

[@jza_23]

Hi what are your dashcam presets when using a suction mount on your GoPro?

[@TheRainDriver]

I usually do 4k 60fps, Linear + horizon, and turn the hypersmooth off because it's stable on my windshield. 1080 for longer drives.

[@jza_23]

@@TheRainDriver how about at night? Do you change the presets?

[@twohandsandaradio]

And how do you power all of it?

[@TheRainDriver]

I have about 6 batteries for my gopro and I've upgraded my mic setup which uses Duracell.

[@sriharidino]

Where did you buy that headrest mount can you share me link bro

[@TheRainDriver]

Amazon, type tackform headrest mount.

[@sunilkumar-iq2oq]

I am scared if my windshield breaks if I mount it and remove everyday? Do you remove it from windshield regularly and mount it?

[@TheRainDriver]

I remove it after I film.

[@chunckyfreshnut]

Is a gpro better than a dash cam or a phone camera

[@TheRainDriver]

Never used a dash cam, but the gopro has great stabilization with the hypersmooth and films up to 5.3k at 60 fps, 4k 120fps, and HD 240 fps. Has lenses, attachments, mounts to put anywhere and is a compact camera. Phones with a good mount and stabilization would be a good choice as well. Especially with some of the picture quality these phones have now. I just prefer gopro because of that said above, easy to use, and it's very tough as I've dropped it many times with no damage. Only negative for me is the higher resolution you go less battery life. Can also overheat when used for a long time as well. There are tricks to get around that though.

[@Raffie2006]

Bro, how do you charge your gopro while filming?

[@maybemang4980]

Media mod helps w that

[@sidhoe3]

What about the rear and side of the car

[@TheRainDriver]

I would use the Gopro windshield mount on the side and rear window.

[@AndreasRichter72]

How long can you record continuously until the camera overheats ?

[@TheRainDriver]

For 4k, the 9 goes for hours, but the 10 about 1 hour. If I increase the airflow of the defroster a bit longer. In 1080, really don't have much issue with overheating as long as I keep them cool.

[@DarthRaider]

Wait how does your hero 10 not overheat? Mine overheats after about 30 minutes 4k 60fps , granted I haven't tried it outside of summer yet. Also, how do you record for so long on battery ? I was going to hardwire mine so I won't have to worry about the battery dying on me

[@TheRainDriver]

If you mount your GoPro on windshield turn on your defroster (cool) and it sends air up the windshield keeping your GoPro nice and cool. I have 4 batteries which gives me about an hour a piece.

[@DarthRaider]

@@TheRainDriver thank you. What settings do you use to record if you don't mind me asking ?

[@TheRainDriver]

@@DarthRaider Cinematic or Standard 4k 60 fps and if I'm mounted to windshield I usually take off hypersmooth. Depending on how bright it is turn the aperture/ISO up or down to your liking. Best filming time is usually in the evening or early morning when sun is not at full brightness. Of course, you can always color grade in whatever editing program you use. At night I'm still figuring out the best settings.

[@DarthRaider]

@@TheRainDriver thanks. What about lens setting? Linear? Narrow? Wide?

[@TheRainDriver]

@@DarthRaider I've been using Linear.

[@CyberSkunk90]

Need some rainx on that windshield 😂😂. That's what I took away from this video lol

[@Haunter_Vlogs]

heats up after 40-50mins.. already tried it.. get a proper good quality dashcam

[@TheRainDriver]

My 9 doesn't but 10 will on 4k not on hd. I might look into some dashcams for really long drives out of state.

[@videodude8137]

Its impossible lol. That is a digital camera. NO FILM.
