How to Travel Vlog in the Car with a GoPro

[@YouMotorcycle]

Nice. I do some footage of while I'm in the truck... In Toronto Canada I feel like I'm either blasting the heat or blasting the AC, with no in between, so I just ordered up a wireless lav mic because I was getting a lot of noise from my V8 plus the climate control going... hopefully this set up will be nicer. I like the GoPro filming inside the truck, or even my Galaxy S10, and the Insta360 One R with the 360 Mod for outside filming so I can track cool things outside in post as I'm driving up to them and past them. Great video as always, please keep em coming.

The wireless lav makes a huge difference. Hope it works well for you 🙂

Very useful video. That Snap mount is amazing - not sure whether I would trust it on uneven bumpy roads!! So glad Martin is testing it. Is the snap mount in your gear list?

[@Gemini_Connect]

The Snap Mount is surprisingly very steady and strong. We drove up to 60mph and it didn't budge. After testing, it has become a part of our GoPro gear list.

[@MonicaTVToronto]

Thank you so much for making video about this topic. I am thinking of buying a GoPro and the mounting device to make videos of scenic drive. Thank you for providing the product list for purchase as well.

[@Gemini_Connect]

You're welcome! It took a lot of trial and error for us to figure out a good driving setup, so hopefully, it works out well for you!

[@PICTUREthisPLACE316]

Thanks again for the very helpful video! I do have the following questions... 1. Will the snap mount scratch the car? 2. What is the bottom piece of the snap mount for? 3. Have you thought of tethering your GoPro in case it comes loose? 4. I see a lot of videographers shooting, like you, from the roof of the car. I shoot from the front of the hood so you only see landscape in the picture. Any thoughts? Thank yo so much for what you guys do. I have learned a lot so far, and I'm an old guy. So I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.

[@Gemini_Connect]

1. Not likely, but it comes with a thin pad you can use to protect your car. 2. You can attach it to another mount (ie tripod) to quickly mount from there to car, etc. 3. Nope. We're not worried about it coming off. 4. Sounds like a good angle!

Thank you so much for this video! Such good, clear advice which I really appreciate. I was starting to wonder whether it could ever be possible for me to film my driving footage and do an "ok" job of it but now I feel so inspired like it's within reach. Thanks guys and keep up the great work :)

[@abhi9090]

Hi nice video. I just want to ask you one thing, can we trust the magnetic mount ? How fast you drove with that thing? Also is there any position that we can hide car bonnet?

[@Gemini_Connect]

Yes to both, we're going to make a detailed video about that

[@catherineconde8076]

Love the video! My snap mounts were recently delivered; Now I have to take it out on a drive! Thank you for your awesome videos!!

[@Gemini_Connect]

Nice!! The Snap Mounts are pur bee favorite GoPro accessory. Hope you enjoy them!

[@TheArizonaHooligan]

Ah, Paradise Valley, home of the rich and shameless, lol. Another great video guys. Nice to see how you effectively film these as I will be adding this to my repertoire soon.

[@Gemini_Connect]

Glad you enjoyed the video 😀

[@DanielMarks69]

Stumbled across your video while researching in prep for a very long road trip. I found your choice of Saramonics intriguing and will purchase a pair. As a side note, I grew up in the PV / Scottsdale area, so a fascinating coincidence. Aloha and mahalo nui loa! (subscribed)

[@Romee_rome]

This video helped me so much in my decision making on car vlogs. Thank you!

[@Gemini_Connect]

Awesome! Glad to hear it was helpful 😊

[@ScottKilmartin]

Super helpful vid guys, thanks muchly.

[@temax]

I loved this video!! The only confusing thing was how to connect the mic to the goPro which is on top of the car. Can you do that? Or do you need two goPros, one for outside and one for inside or is the Media Mod compatible with the handle you used to put the goPro in the car? Thanks!

[@Gemini_Connect]

To connect an external mic to GoPro, you need a much adapter or Media Mod. You *can* attach it to the camera outside of the car, but it's risky; we personally attach the mic to a second GoPro that is pointed at us inside of the car.

[@frenktalks4502]

nice guys, keep it up 😀😉

[@maryannramos4179]

Hi Gemini Connect.. the video is so crisp... may i know where did you bought the magnet for go pro? Thanks

[@Gemini_Connect]

Thanks! The magnet is called Snap Mounts -- great if you need a magnetic connection.

[@Eljefe5948]

How can I avoid the hood from showing in the shot. The video looks amazing but How can I get a clear image of the enviroment without any part of the car showing. if that makes sense

[@alexisallenegui3257]

Hi new here! 🥰. Im going on a (solo) roadtrip from cali to Oregon&Washington. Im unsure to which device i should use. Either canon g7x Mii. Or a gopro9. I just want to record the drive when im in oregon and washington. The scenery. And my hikes in the forests! Only thing as a con for me is the fish eye look in the go pro. Only negative for me. Any suggestions? Thankyouu

[@Gemini_Connect]

GoPro for sure. You can use linear or narrow

[@alexisallenegui3257]

@@Gemini_Connect can you also do this for gopro8? I dont plan on using the gopro again… i’ll keep it incase i do use it. Do you still like the hero8?

[@JonS]

Did you find it difficult to get your camera mounting fingers to fit in the Snapmount at first? Mine was a very tight fit, and when I measured the gaps with digital calipers, I found it was under-sized. Either they've designed it wrong (design for an interference fit, instead of clearance with compression from the thumbscrew), or their molding tolerances are too large.

[@Gemini_Connect]

Yes! It's very tight for some reason.

[@AmitSharma-fp5xd]

Please can u make a video how you edit sound when u use multiple go pro in ur car blog n you using rode wireless thanks .

[@avishaiankri]

Fantastic!!

[@ilovecarnitas]

Great video

[@TheThreeOfUs.]

Nice vlog 👍

[@Gemini_Connect]

Thank you for watching!

[@AjaySingh-228]

Good One..I like it

[@Gemini_Connect]

Thank you Ajay 😊

[@Arizona55plusCommunities]

The wireless mics that you are using in the car, Do you have to sync that with the video during editing. Also, are these in your opinion still the best option?

[@Gemini_Connect]

No synching required. It records sound directly to camera.

[@ZoranOreskovic]

Are you able to test the Hollyland Lark 150 Microphone System on GoPro?

[@Gemini_Connect]

It's on the way. We'll be testing it soon.

[@mcmiller233]

Do you record your audio into the GoPro, or separate audio track synched later?

[@Gemini_Connect]

Recorded directly into GoPro using the Saramonic system.

[@WhatsTerryDoingTV]

How did you sync the footage outside of the car?

[@Gemini_Connect]

Timestamps. Gotta make sure both cameras are synced with date and time.

[@WhatsTerryDoingTV]

@@Gemini_Connect right but if both cameras weren’t started at the same time how would you match it up?

[@Gemini_Connect]

@@WhatsTerryDoingTV date and time sync in post production using the Metadata on the clips. As long as the cameras are set properly, those should not change regardless of when the start/stop button was hit.

[@JonS]

@@Gemini_Connect the GoPro Labs QR code for setting time is a good way to make sure your cameras' real time clocks are well synced.

[@wanofficialvideo6004]

What setting you use top camera

[@Gemini_Connect]

Same as bottom camera - 4K30p, wide, hypersmooth boost, GoPro color.

[@wanofficialvideo6004]

Thank you

[@mrcuic1]

Hi, How many fps did you set the camera to?

[@Gemini_Connect]

Both cameras were set to 30fps.

[@mrcuic1]

@@Gemini_Connect thanks great work

[@EverydayAdrian]

Great Video. I just got a gopro hero 9 and I started vlogging again and I will try this! I just made a video this week can you check it out and let me know what you think! Thanks!
