GoPro on a Motorcycle | How do you get EPIC footage?

[@Photogromer]

Great video but did you just close out with a Cartman "Screw you guys, I'm going..." lol

[@MikeonBikes]

I did.

[@krane15]

Yeah, a big thumbs down for that rudeness. jk. It was a great tutorial. An easy thumb up!

Lovely. Thank you. You should check my channel., someday I will use all u shared. Thank you again. very helpful video..

Guys watch my channel and support.

[@johndillon5290]

I never realised how complex high level vlogging was. Thanks for posting.

[@Ghryst]

its not complex if you use a decent action cam.. but these gopro fanboys will never learn, they just love their over-priced virtue signals.

[@Diginegi]

@@GhrystSo what would be a better setup?

[@Ghryst]

@@Diginegi theres a range of options. RunCam Orange seems to be quite popular atm with the FPV drone fanboys, you should check out some of thier footage. and importantly ,there no complaints of new-product failures like the gopros have become famous for

[@TheBlakerunner]

You, my friend, are an excellent teacher. I’ve been a professional cameraman for 35 years and I am super impressed how you distilled the fundamentals in such a cogent way. Thanks for the great work.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

nice. Earned my sub because you actually care about the camera production quality. Too many cycle channels just run their Sena helmet camera or whatever and just deal with mediocre footage.

[@kahfibonboy]

i definitely gonna try this, all i need is the v4 motor, a go pro, gimbal, and a racetrack

[@prithvirajkanne]

This not at all a biker perspective video, it's a pro level videography lecture. Awesome lessons in one video. Thank you brother.

[@radenhidayat8385]

The best explanation for Motorcyclist that want to take cool video using action camera.. Thanks for sharing bro..

[@carlpop2324]

That was a master class. Way over my beginner level, but I can watch it again. And again. And again and again and again and...

[@johnm1707]

I have weighted bar ends and it helps reduce vibrations for gopro mounted on the handle bar.

[@Canada72]

After watching this video I realize that I have to change. Despite more than 240 videos I've done on my channel, some I've done right and others not at all. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us and please, continue to your very well explained videos. Thumbs up, Mike!

[@revzzrider]

gOpRO messed up with this external mic adapter thing :/

[@kingnorre5103]

Revzz Rider I agree. What were they thinking? I hope they get rid of it on the Hero 7.

[@MrJelle2503DWM]

There is a 2 dollar alternative on AliExpress, but it mixes up two wires. Easy fix if you're a bit handy. The only thing you're paying for with the go pro mic adapter is a 330ohm resistor on 2 pins to disable the internal mic.

[@Motofreebird]

Agreed, but GoPro messed up on way too many things! The mic input is just the beginning, as I am so ashamed that this is a US based NorCal company (my own Silicon Valley backyard). Top GP6+7 TOTAL FAILURES: battery life (I feel like a slave changing it always interupting all our rides! Often we then just do not bother so we can just ride!), missing innovative 2018 mounting solution (not all of us have to have 101 plastic buckets of parts) from this century, settings ease, an App that is not total crap(80% useless while in field!!!), auto storage feeding copies to mobile automatically as each segment completes (skirting lame cloud ideas that don't work at all as a user would want them to), dumbness of device (speech rarely if ever works, settings and preferences need stored pre-set defaults for one click or special word in the field - well if the speech/voice commands worked that is) adjust in the field of use, fix the auto-rotation (works 30% of the time - and even that's 50/50), and lastly but not leastly fix the damn stupid external "What on earth was your dumb team thinking?!?!!!?" plugin port puuullleeease!

[@Flyker]

@Mr jelle2503 hello ,what's the item called on aliexpress pls ,i'm looking for a solution too for my hero 5

[@apiwatbob]

[@pietropigna6676]

Really thank you so much for your exhaustive video on using the GoPro on motorcycles !! I've never seen how in just 20 minutes has lots of useful information to make the most of the GoPro mounted on the motorcycle. I can really say that you used a simple but professional language at the same time. I subscribed to your KZbin channel and of course I put "like" this fantastic video. Too bad that English is not my language but somehow through writing you have simplified all the steps throughout the video with useful comparisons even if I do not know English.

[@lostproductionspdx]

You did a better job explaining camera expoure triangle settings than the camera KZbin community, great job!!

[@RakeshVigVlogs]

Really hard work and informative video sir. Thanks and keep it up

I was looking at he list written on the whiteboard behind you. Then switch scene you placed a gorpo on a whiteboard. I thought, how did he stuck his gopro to the board, is that magnetic? 😁

[@MikeonBikes]

It's an editing trick for a smooth transition between clips. I cut on movement with matching colors. Sometimes it makes the transition to seamless.

[@hughmnyks]

Great video, Mike. And a touch of humour and twinkle of the eye works wonders. I learned a lot these past few minutes and look forward to finding more of the your stuff!

[@Goestrip]

nice video for the technical part and bike mounts ideas and gear. BUT , i wouldn't recomend any body mount, it's just plain dangerous in case of a crash. Chest mount will break your ribs and helmet mount could break your neck if it struck something (especially top mount) . In my country, on tracks, body mounts are just forbiden for these reasons !

[@meals24u]

Goestrip disagree! The mounts are made to break under any kind of pressure. Soooooo many ppl have crashed with their action cams on them mounted, I have yet to hear anybody get hurt from the cam itself any worse than the crash. Usually as soon as you hit something the camera goes flying.. Also, while riding, you should wear protective gear like jackets and chest protection, which would easily deflect the energy of a GoPro being squished while you go down.. As for helmet mounts, well with the 3M tape on it and those plastic mounts, yeah, your GoPro will go flying off long before your neck breaks, I’m sure! I’ve used them for long time, as stunt rider, and yeah, I think your country just doesn’t want you recording yourself 😉

[@MarceloFernandes]

[@tomikivikari7723]

[@EnduroWithAlex]

Great video, the coverage of different things is amazing! Even after all the bells and whistles, that Gopro image looks awful to me. Hero has been the number one action camera for so long time but I think it will be changed soon. Even smartphones have better video quality nowadays.

[@MikeonBikes]

Thanks Aleksi! I'm still waiting for a Prosumer action camera. No one has delivered it yet.

[@EnduroWithAlex]

@@MikeonBikes Yeah that's true!

I shoot 95% of my bike footage using smartphones. The other 5% is shot with a drone. I don't own any other type of camera.

Sony RX0 is really powerful vs gopro but also lacks a few basics like GPS & stabilize

[@boris9705]

[@gm16v149]

That’s the most detailed explanation I’ve ever seen! I’ve got a GoPro 7 Black so the image stabilisation is good already. I’ll be using the suction cap and sticking it on the fuel tank and wrapping an external mic and putting it in the tailpiece of my Z900RS. Should get some good results I think. Anyway, I learned a lot from your video today so thanks!

Mikael, what an awesome video man! Your riding skill is leagues above mine and a lot of fun to watch as well. I know nothing about go pros but do a decent amount of shooting on a DSLR, mostly in manual mode, so I was able to really grasp what you were saying. I want to just get some basic riding footage this summer to share with my family and friends, so I'm trying to get an idea of how to get set up, and this helped tremendously. Top notch my friend!

[@TheXxsuperxxchickxx]

Wowwwww thank you so much i didn't know anything about cameras and what settings to have on and you taught me what i needed to know for motovlogging!

[@jfloresmac]

I build trailers to be pulled by motorcycles. To see how suspension and handling behaved, I built some small arms for the camera to be clamped on several tubes of the bike and trailers. I got some intense hollywood-like footage just by placing the very cheap camera on creative places. Try that too. Saludos

[@brianmcdaniel7827]

The most descriptive video I've ever seen! Thanks for the info!!!!

[@benstabile8493]

Well done. Thanks! I currently use a GoPro 5 Hero (helmet chin mount) along with a Sena Prism (helmet side mount). The GoPro gets good video but the sound is useless (no external mic). The Sena gets excellent BT voice audio, but very little external exhaust/engine/environment audio. It also blocks my BT music from the phone. So I guess, the clunky GoPro external mic setup is the only good option to capture and blend voice with ambient. It's really a shame they didn't rectify the adapter situation with the GP7. Sooooooo annoying!

[@Vnfx]

great job, a really huge amount of work compressed in this video

[@mmdirtyworkz]

Cool spots for me are passenger peg frame. Rear view and if on the exhaust side will catch sound nicely. Frame sliders work good to, lower front view and almost no wind noise (on my bike at least). I prefer helmet mount when I travel as I can turn my head around and capture the scenery around me.

[@supergarball]

mmdirtyworkz I agree with the rear view exhaust side. I did it for the first time on my latest video on KZbin (trail ride on a dirt bike, see my profile). To make it perfect, I should have used a separate audio recorder as this guy does. Great video.

[@HalfdeadRider]

I always use flat on my hero 5 and do some simple colour correction in post, I get decent results. This video still helped out, probably, I changed a couple of settings to see if it makes much difference but still need to try it out.

[@senayskii4118]

Your production is on point dawg

[@danielenstrom1873]

Also.... jupp.... If you go all in on the sound....wow...can be epic. The thing is that the lav mics can't cope with the sound pressure of the exhaust. The zoom or whatever can't either. You need a PAD, just like the ND filter but for the sound! You can also try out contact microphones for guitarrs for example. or buy a dampener on like -30dB. From what I hear all footage is way, way over exposed=distorted on the sound side. i would say that a messure microphone from PDA or Earthworks TC20 that can cope with 150dB might do the job (165dB would have been better). PAD that to the ZOOM and you can start a trend to really give the FULL feeling of the ride! Set it up in stereo at 20cm spacing for an real unreal stereo experience! EartWorks TC20 earthworksaudio.com/products/microphones/tc-series/tc20/ or DPA 4091 YES 4091! not 4090 www.dpamicrophones.com/ddicate/4090-omnidirectional-microphone The 4090is epic on speech and instruments but do not! handle high pressure at all. at all. no no.
