4 Ways to INSTANTLY Record BETTER MOTORCYCLE VIDEOS!

[@iPedroMota]

Check out the following riding videos I've made to see the suggestions in action: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKSxd4CYmbFpj6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ-TZn14gadlrpI

[@stephenrichie4646]

Good advice; the voice of experience. Best: different angles; action; 3 to 5 second cuts.

[@843292]

This is SOOOO true! I have taken long action shots many times only to find that it's mostly rubbish. I've wasted entire batteries shooting continuous footage only to miss out on 75% of the trip (because of dead battery.) Thank you Pedro!

[@FarangbowlMagazine]

Hi Pedro, great editing tips. We use a GoPro9 and Insta 360X2 when shooting our road trips or bike reviews in Thailand. These are our goto cameras for action. When filming guests on bikes we’ll mount 1 x Canon 90D to the rear of a car and I will lean out the rear drivers side window with a 2nd 90D to get clean close ups. I then point and direct bike rider to ride around the car and record 😁

[@r12rtpilot]

Fabulous video....Shooting from the chin or helmet is easy to shoot short clips. Shooting from the frame of the bike=stop, turn on the camera, shoot a short clip, stop, turn off the camera, and continue down the road. For me, this is the hardest time, so I am very finicky when I shoot-otherwise a short ride takes forever-thanks for acknowledging the work it takes to make a good motovlog! Ciao!

[@francoisguittenit5038]

I was looking at tips to document my next adventure trip down to the South Island of New-Zealand. I recognised so many placed on your video that are here in NZ. I guess, you liked our wild landscape. Thanks

[@superblastpressurewashing.7256]

Hero 9 black is pretty good, just got it and did some work with it hiking in Shenandoah. Motorcycle trip is in 11 days, heading to NC thanks for all these great tips.

[@phillipewoodhead6841]

Awesome video good advice will definitely use it on the trip im currently planning. Glad to see your channel is growing so well!!! Really like your new editing style and it seems to be working for you!

[@kenwalz7231]

Thanks for the info on using other cameras. I was going to sell my 35mm now that I got the 11 mini...combining the two sounds like a great plan!

[@guideman693]

Hi Pedro, great work - thanks for all your effort and work you're putting into! Keep on! I'd like to mention using ND filters on GoPro (and a few similar makes) that will simply bring down the amount of light getting to the lens. This way over-exposure is effectively avoided. Cheapest ones may do a little unwanted filtering but good and better ones reduce light without affecting colors. It is the same problem for drones pilots, there are a lot of vids out there on this. I'd suggest trying an ND32 for high noon. I gave it a try, got a cheapo one (not specific for my cam) which I taped to my cam - wow - amazing effect - then I bought a one that fits exactly for some more $$.

[@iPedroMota]

Great suggestion, talked about it but cut it out. Same with how lowering the exposure a couple of steps will help. I've been eyeing those for quite a while now but funds have been tight. Read mixed results and image quality is always a priority. Could you please link to some quality ones because I'm definitely getting some in the future if they are on par with some of the dslr filters out there.

[@peer_64]

Bedankt voor je tips en uitleg. Zo zie je maar dat ook bij een goed You-Tube filmpje heel wat werk en aandacht komt kijken. Ikzelf gebruik een Eken H9R 4K action camera. Geen beeldstabilisatie, maar haarscherp beeld voor een cameraatje van nog geen 5 tientjes compleet met een hele set accessoires zoals een tuigje voor filmen vanaf borstkas-hoogte en houders voor op je helm. Voor filmen voor eigen gebruik meer dan voldoende al is beeldstabilisatie wel een vereiste als je de camera op of aan je motor bevestigd. En wie weet volgt er nog meer. Jouw films werken erg aanstekelijk moet ik zeggen. Top👌

[@hayabusaTravels]

ND and CPL filters will definetly improve the video quality. Got one for my camera (Sony FDR X3000) for use in the next ride of 2020. The thing with multiple angles is true but also needs a lot of work when you only have one camera. Bringing multiple cameras implies also carrying batteries, powerbanks and even more cables, chargeing bricks etc. Things tend to pile up... Then you also need a laptop and a external HDD tough enough for the trip... Then again, it's wize to record EVERYTHING as who knows if you ever redo that trip and when years go by... it's nice to have recorded memories that you can watch later in life.

[@ZSharkPH]

Great tips on making videos Pedro.. I've been following you for awhile. And your filming and editing has jumped leaps and bounds in the last year. As someone who has a small channel and makes vids. I know how hard you have worked to evolve as an artist. Keep doing what your doing..Thanks for the inspiration

[@iPedroMota]

Cheers man, right in the feels of my editor heart.

[@wingandhog]

Excellent tips. Especially shooting in burst mode

[@MotoCurvesCurls]

I got a GoPro 7 silver, was so excited to get it, but realized I couldn’t connect a mic to it. However, not all lost. I got a cheap action camera as well. I will invest in a GoPro black series for motovlogging. Great tips.

[@amitkrupal1234]

Damn you r killing it. I just wanted a reason to biy 3 affordable camera instead of expensive GoPro. Now I can have it. Really helpful tips.

[@mattsaehlenou2810]

Thanks man, good tips. Ride safe 🤘

[@nikeshbaraily7782]

Thank you so much brother .This information will help me a lot.

[@davidandrews321]

Thank you, great tips. About to start a vlog myself.

[@thesmithsmaf]

I love your videos - such dynamism, such verve and such mastery of your topic....thanks. Btw what bike are you riding there? Is it an old Transalp? I wonder what year -- it looks fab

[@ericboutet3601]

Great video. Thanks. The videos are so great that they look easy to produce. Wrong ! Still, I’m interested in filming some of my motorcycle trips. Thanks again !

[@frankmoralesiii6908]

Do you have a video showing the different ways you mount your go pros on a motorcycle?

[@redangrevival]

Great video man. Thank you 👍

[@baltsosser]

I record in 3 minute cycles. It does create many mini videos...but It makes it far easier to run through to find that one thing you wanted to put into your video. I shoot a lot because I don't want to miss that one exciting thing happening. I've had that happen a couple of times. I use the big camera as well, and it works out nicely. How do you protect the lens on the point and shoot camera when you go riding by?

[@iPedroMota]

Burst recording is a great way to get the footage that you want without having to zift through long as recordings. Though sometimes I've forgotten to turn the camera off and those shots tend to come in handy too. I starter to ride with open gopro case in Australia for that little extra quality but in Chile dropped it on it's lens. Now I ride with glass cover with a bit of polarization and the shots are coming out great in the sun.

[@baltsosser]

@@iPedroMota Do you have any good tips for protecting the part of the case cover that sits over the lens? If you get a scratch in that, and you don't have another case you r video quality takes a turn for the worse quickly.

[@iPedroMota]

You mean the gopro case? Did not have it and when it cracked in Mongolia I still recorded eastern Russia and Hokkaido in Japan before I fixed it with a replacement screen and it shows a vertical line in the footage until then. Had a basic setup back then and now I travel with replacement screen. Also have another open case, but now I use the open frame all the time anyway. For the regular camera tried a glass protection but the quality suffered but the lens hood offers good protect in case it falls over, some random impact not so much though but I don't pull out that camera anymore while riding. Went from a point a shoot to a super zoom and now a dslr so to big to grab and wield while riding.

[@channelk1331]

Been watching a bunch of your vids. Thanks for the great content. One thing I am wondering about and have seen no comments on. This may seem simple, but it can be difficult - data management and keeping track of what's on these micro SD things. You can't label them, they are so small. If you are going for days, then you may end up with numerous SDs with data on them - so how do you keep organized? Data management - are you backing up to the cloud, or are you carrying a back up drive or SSD? Do you organize files by date, by location, or just bringing them into the editor and figuring it out? Again, love your content. Thanks and all the best.

[@iPedroMota]

Cheers, good question. Most of the times one card per device suffices but on long recording days I might run out and put in a second one. I travel with a laptop and multiple mechanical hdd's. When I can I'll transfer the files to a hdd and clone it to another hdd as to have the footage in two locations (when one drive fails you don't loose all your footage). One hdd I always keep on me in my jacket where's the least vibrations, the others in cases in the tank bag and no drive has failed on me yet. That laptop has an ssd which is great for editing and not too expensive. Large capacity ssd's are expensive and if they weren't I would travel with those as external drives but with care and in cases the mechanical ones can survive over the years. Order the footage in folders per year, country and current location when transfer happens. Everyone has their own way of organizing, the only bad way of doing it is not doing it as it will become a hassle as your collection grows larger (been there). When I need the footage I'll transfer it to the laptop and then import into the editor. I don't edit from the hdd which is slower and in my opinion will minimize mechanical hdd failure since they are only used for transfers and aren't under continuous load. Many have asked about the cloud and I think that even today the speeds are too slow for that. When I started out it would be a luxury to find internet at all at the places where I stayed along the way. Nowadays developing countries are a lot more connected. Though upload speed is in most cases only a fraction of the download speed so it would take forever.

[@MotourRide]

Thanks bro for sharing this video it help.. new support from Palawan

[@ivosantos2521]

Obrigado pelo apoio e vídeo. Continuação de muitas e boas aventuras ;-)

[@beachside180]

Thanks Pedro, I have found that the best clips are the ones telling a great story with video that helps tell your story. Enjoying you latest offerings. All the best.

[@iPedroMota]

Absolutely mate, good suggestion.

[@travisbolton1351]

Good recommendations. I am making a trip to Thailand and Laos and am hoping to do my first vlog on KZbin for my family and friends.

[@rayelance6086]

Sony as20 on helmet and Gopro silver. Also have a Midland 1080 HD mounted on left pannier point in different directions.

[@AdventuresWithNimby]

Great tips for better filming! Its alot harder then one would think. Good advice from experience mate.

[@get__rider]

Watching in 2024 and still pretty true! Thanks for the video

[@FranBrighton]

Thanks for your tips! I always learn new things to improve my videos ;)

[@johnsgarage6622]

Great information Pedro, I especially like your tip to shoot in burst. If only my camera had a switch whereby you didn't have to stop the bike each time.

[@travisbolton1351]

GoPro has a remote that might make it easier if you have that camera.

[@Jamilsiddique]

Great video. Very useful tips .

[@fraserdinsdale1799]

nice video, can you consider doing a video about dealing with electronics while travelling on the road? also what to do with all the footage you capture and how to make sure your cameras and equipment is charged and ready to go day in day out?

[@iPedroMota]

Noted! There's definitely going to be an episode on storage at some point.

[@baltsosser]

You could use an external hard drive, and a cheap computer. the computer serves as a door, that lets the 'guest' data files walk through to get to their 'room' on the external hard drive. With the capacity that the micro SD cards can hold now, and an external hard drive to back it up, you can record quite a bit, arrange it neatly for turning into movie clips later, and you have a back up for when something bad goes wrong, and a micro SD card gets wiped.

[@83DrBones]

hi pedro. another amazong vid! Can you tell me how many kilometers did your bike since today and with how much you bougth it? Greatings from Hamburg

[@iPedroMota]

Got it around 40k, departed on this ride around 55k, now about 170k

[@83DrBones]

Pedro Mota thanks a lot! keep on riding and take care!!

[@highcountryadv9828]

have you played with the new 360 cameras? Been shooting a few videos with my new fusion360, both for standard HD editing and also a few ride videos in 360vr. Nothing award winning, but good enough for me to reflect back on rides- fun to edit.

[@ColbyStewart1965]

Havve you considered the LOOP fucntion on the gopro? Thanks?

[@crazyahmettv7540]

im interested to see how i can talk to the camera while driving but i dont want my motorbike sound to interfere too much.

[@threethrushes]

I tip my hat to all motovloggers, and folks like Pedro who are dedicated to the art of videography and motorcycling. It is definitely a calling.

[@iPedroMota]

*tips winter hat back*

[@peteraustin9728]

Hey Pedro, love the Vids and great advice..

[@tomjones8883]

Nice advice 👍

[@jhenwinsulaiman8574]

Thanks for sharing sir

[@steveburch5236]

awesome video !!!

[@hellochriis]

How do you manage all the footage from different cameras? It must consume multiple sd-cards every day.

[@iPedroMota]

It really does. When they're full I'll transfer it to the hdd on the laptop and later to an external hdd. Though usually at the end of the day every day or two I'll transfer the footage to the external hdd. And after transfer the footage to another external hdd which is a backup in case one fails.

[@kalyemototv1147]

great tips.thank you for sharing.

[@MA-iridium]

Amazing! Thank you!!!!

[@louisxavier22]

how did you setup your camera from the back like at 6:30 ?

[@joeldsonc]

Brasileiro, né? Parabéns pelo conteúdo!

[@deetee-uk]

How many memory cards do you take on a trip? Do you stop start to keep taking different clips...manually/remotely?

[@iPedroMota]

Started with just one for the gopro and one for the camera. Later had two for the gopro, now I have multiple. I shoot burst videos on all cameras something that makes even more sense once you start editing. At most you need 10 second clips or less when you're not talking. All taken manually when I feel like something is interesting.

[@superomerico1]

hi pedro. which editing program are you using?

[@iPedroMota]

Premiere pro

[@mikogarage]

Hmmm toyota Avanza..do you ever go to Indonesia?

[@Whyiscarloshere]

Excellent

[@summahype]

What about audio ?

[@Estilodevidaviajante]

that's what I'm talking about! thanks for this buddy!

[@iPedroMota]

Glad if it helps, cheers

[@noobsonwheelsadventures8315]

Great tips indeed :)

[@StephenPengilley]

Cheers!

[@karolsurwilo1838]

I just been watching your other videos keep up with the good work greetings from Poland

[@iPedroMota]

Cheers, greetings from Chile!

[@lalispeedsparse4350]

What video editing software do you use?

[@iPedroMota]

Premiere pro

[@samehsouissi6986]

Thanks for the tips mate. u r genius

[@mellolandini]

Thank you for the tips! By the way which software are you working on for editing your videos? Saluti

[@iPedroMota]

Adobe premiere

[@rc2634]

Another great video!!!

[@bikerbro]

I am here after two years. Using hero 7

[@viziom6559]

I think also using 170deg extra wide angle isn't going to to produce good footage.. it's useful sometimes but most of the time not

[@iPedroMota]

Agreed, wide on the gopro is enough for me. Tried narrow for a while but that was just way too much of crop.

[@Kivas]

And thats why i'm 360° cams ;)

[@giuliobuccini208]

Ok.... I will never buy a videocamea. I have Pedro Mota on youtube doing all the work for me !!!

[@ValentinoMariotto]

hey Pedro! thank for the great advice! 8:46 what a beaut! where were you??

[@iPedroMota]

Tajikistan, watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3jJqoeZjLqGaKM. Fair warning though, after you watch this you might not enjoy your local roads anymore.

[@ValentinoMariotto]

admittedly.. that's mindblowingly stunning. It only adds up to my yearning for travelling central Asia! ...but I think I'll still love my local road, I have the dolomites in my backyard, and that's only half of it ;)

[@iPedroMota]

Ah there you go, you've been immunized by the glorious Alps, lucky bastardo! Central Asia is special and you can get there fast through Russia.

[@ValentinoMariotto]

one day..

[@ValentinoMariotto]

would you recommend that area over Iran? (I'd probably do them separately, or only one of these, on a push-bike)

[@ijazahmad6023]

I have a hero 4

[@KhairulkharExplorer]

Thanks for the tips bro

[@AttorneyThatRides]

Not a bad video Mota

[@siddhantchaudhari7891]

You are great

[@maxdesignro]

✌✌✌

[@TheLostShep]

Buy quality ND filters!

[@kamp_ve_enduro]

Buy insta 360 x2

[@shiftupadventure]

And then you're to focused on cameras not on joy of riding, spend fortune on equipment, weeks on editing and no one watches regardless how content is good

[@iPedroMota]

It's a racket I know, but if you love doing it keep at it!
