How to Start a Mountain Bike Channel - POTATO MAGIC!

I went on a mountain bike ride with my girlfriend, but I left all my camera gear at home to prove you don't need much to start your own KZbin channel. If you're watching this, then I guarantee you have what you need to get out and create content today!
Keep an eye out for more videos on this topic, I have a whole series planned!
Everything I used to make this video:
Joby Phone Tripod: amzn.to/2SnsPGU
Adobe Premiere Clip: adobe.ly/2AtBjWi
Free Music: goo.gl/vJb2KR

Have you been thinking of starting your own channel? Did this video get you motivated to start? Let me know! I had a ton of fun making this video and can't wait to show you just how powerful your cellphone is! Keep an eye out for more videos on this topic!

[@DailyMTBRider]

Great job on the video! I grab a bunch of shots on my cell phone and truly think someone could be a big following with just their phone and a lot of drive! Keep up the good work!

[@TrailFeatures]

Thanks, man! The phones today are crazy powerful, and there are apps out there that make them perfect all-in-one content creation machines!

[@monstervlogster1157]

Dude this was definitely super helpful....i have a few friends that want to start their own channels, not MTB unfortunately but, i sent them this video so they can see its not so scary lol it was awesome to see you ride with your girlfriend, i thought that was pretty cool too !

[@TrailFeatures]

Awesome, man! Yeah, it really doesn't take a fancy camera to tell a story. The same techniques can be used on a $50 or a $100,000 camera, so you can learn them using anything. Thanks for sharing the video, and let me know if they have any questions!

[@monstervlogster1157]

Will do man

[@TheLoamRanger]

Nice work! Looking forward to seeing the next videos in the series.

[@TrailFeatures]

Thanks, man! It's going to be fun!

[@unclechimney6371]

Great video man, can't wait to see the follow-ups!

[@TrailFeatures]

Thanks! I'm stoed to show you what phones can do. Even I was blwon away!

[@JordanByron]

My iPhone is my primary secondary (if that makes sense) camera and I always have it with me. This is a fantastic idea and 100% true people. My first ever MTB edit used all footage from cell phones. Plus not having a GoPro forces you to get creative and come up with something other than POV footage. A common trap that's easy to fall into (myself included) That being said, I think crashing dad is probably right: That fancy camera setup of yours just got too heavy to carry around. Admit it 😆

[@TrailFeatures]

Cellphones are perfect for backup or even main cameras. My Bellingham video was shot with just a Gopro + Gimbal setup and a cellphone. Still one of my favorite videos because of the epic story. And yes, it was really nice to leave the 25lb pack at home for once!

[@B1KER]

Great video man! I really think that it's awesome that you are doing this series. At the end of the day it's not the equipment, it's the story!

[@TrailFeatures]

Thanks, man! You're right, the story is king. At the end of the day, you can tell the same story with a $100 dollar camera. It doesn't take a lot to get started, just a camera.

[@victoriogutierrez6807]

Bro .your skill in trail is very good.i like also the view and music.god bless

[@DavidMendozaTrepacerros]

I love your vídeo I just started My own channel Tank You very help full

[@jonathanwithrow7175]

Nice video with good information. Shooting with a phone is the easiest way to shot video when out riding besides a gopro. Keep up the videos 👍

[@seanlynchcycling8044]

Very interesting topic and the quality I think is pretty reasonable. Keep it up

[@TrailFeatures]

Progress Bee Athlete Sean Lynch Thank you! It is a but right around the edges, but it's a great example of what you can do with a zero dollar budget. Thanks for watching!

[@TheCrashingDad]

*Joseph just got sick of carrying around a 25lb pack full of camera gear 😎

[@TrailFeatures]

Haha! Maybe!

[@wnymtbbikes9957]

Thanks so much

[@antiherobc]

Great video. If you have drive and will then you can make it happen without any pro equipment.

[@TrailFeatures]

Truth!

[@TheCrashingDad]

YEAH! This was awesome! Time to sell my GoPro and gimbal... And trash my computer 🤓

[@TrailFeatures]

Haha! Maybe not, nut for thoes just getting started, there are some AMAZING apps that I can't wait to show everyone!

[@mtbboy1993]

Please don't.

[@TheCrashingDad]

Johannes Nilsen - 😂 Sometimes it would be nice to quit KZbin and just ride!...

[@mtbboy1993]

just don't stress, don't feel rushed, I do what I can when I can.

[@TheCrashingDad]

Johannes Nilsen - haha.. I've laid back a bit... I obviously have been taking my time inbetween vids ;)

[@jmoutdoors2801]

right on

[@TrailFeatures]

+JM Outdoors 🤘

[@ridingwithk6438]

Nice video man

[@TrailFeatures]

Thank you!

[@itachiamv6166]

nicce work

[@JamesStoup]

Great video! Shows you don't need a ton of gear to put stuff out there. Just need to stop on the trail to get those 3rd person views ;)

[@TrailFeatures]

James Stoup indeed! It can be a bit tedious, but using a cellphone with a gorrila pod is waaaaay faster than setting up my GH5. 😅 Thanks for watching!

[@Thealdon_47]

Great video.! looks like ill be getting a Tripod.. XD

[@TrailFeatures]

Sweet!

[@brandonpaul06]

Very cool

[@TrailFeatures]

Yup! It's amazing what phones can do!

[@brandonpaul06]

Trail Features bike upgrade/ purchase coming alot sooner then i wanted. Broke my rear hub today and bearing went everywhere

[@camodudemtbh7594]

I have a channel now hope I can get some trail shots.

[@TrailFeatures]

Sweet!

[@mtbboy1993]

1:59 this is what full face helmet is for. some elbow pads would be nice too. I never ride without, even on pavement dirt roads.

[@TrailFeatures]

We've actually been talking about getting her a full face. Maybe one of those convertible ones that she can remove when it's too hot or when we're on flow. My face isn't a good-looking as hers, so crashing could only result in an improvement. ;P

[@nickgiannopoulos8087]

2:00 it a downhill paradise

[@TrailFeatures]

It's a fun section for sure, but there are areas in Austin that make that seem like child's play. D:

[@mentalfreeride1141]

Yo so i was bikeing today and i swear i saw yall today at op shnable park i thike you were wearing a white shrit or somthing like that

[@TrailFeatures]

Nope, don't think I even left the house that day.🤔

[@benitez5321]

S5 or 6 in thumbnail maybe 7 edge

[@finnisgay5056]

Nice video

[@TrailFeatures]

Thanks!

[@finnisgay5056]

Your welcome

[@CobraKyle]

Well done man. Get her a full face helmet and send it!

[@TrailFeatures]

We were actually talking about getting her one last night. :)

[@CobraKyle]

I just got a Giro Switchblade last week on Amazon for half off. Time to get rowdy!

[@TrailFeatures]

Woot!

[@CamCakes]

Hey, just started out with making videos! would really appreciate some feedback and how you think im tracking. thanks to everyone that helped out :)

[@maxmorganscoots9176]

Thanks you for creating this video it has given me helpful tips and advice for my KZbin channel all because off trail features I would appreciate one of you visiting my channel and helping my channel out Thank you for reading my comment I hope you the best For and if you are making a youtube channel

[@effie2206]

A used GoPro 3 and free editing software, probably cheaper than Adobe premiere

[@TrailFeatures]

That is very true! Though, with this video, I wanted to show people that you can get started with just a phone and some free apps. Adobe Premier Clip is free for Android and iOS. :)

[@mtbboy1993]

I am still using Go Pro studio. it has exporting issues and have to redo the importing/ conversion some times, but even adobe premiere has issues, Not tried it. So far the fastest software I used was GoPro studio, I tested out Blender but the render time is insane.

[@effie2206]

Johannes Nilsen Try Davinci Resolve, a professional editing software that's very powerful and completely free. Takes some time to learn but rewarding once you do. The latest version works great with most GoPro files (except the newest hero6 highest fps files)

[@TrailFeatures]

+Effie Lever I've been playing around with Davinci myself (I use Adobe Premiere CC) and am impressed with what it offers for free. I would have loved these options as a kid getting by with iMovie!

[@thebikehippie6562]

I film and edit all my videos with my phone

[@troywaldron3125]

The Bike Hippie what’s the edit app called please

[@TrailFeatures]

KineMaster is a great one. iMovie is awesome if you have an Apple phone.

[@troywaldron3125]

Trail Features thanks so much

[@MTBScotland]

Something odd going on with the sound. Like it's dubbed

[@TrailFeatures]

A couple reasons it sounds off: One of the mics was busted, and adobe premier clip will lower the music volume when it thinks someone was talking. Not the most ideal situation, but it still shows you can make some good stuff with a janky phone. :)

[@MTBScotland]

Trail Features explains it cheers

[@allenkvextreme]

*it's a shame that the best in the world type videos, quality mtb videos, don't get no views at all while some stupid cat videos get billions of views*

[@TrailFeatures]

Those cats vids are pretty dope.

[@WoodGang]

Yo dude ! We are french riders ! The filmmaker GoldenHelmets makes edits for us ! Can you give us a review of our chaîne ? ;)
