One of the tricks I found was to use the "max loop" setting on the gopros in combination with a 256GB SD card. At 2.7k recording setting , I get ~8hours before it starts over writing the footage. Attached to a battery bank that stays on, I record 14 hours easily and if something happens cool, I have 8 hours to stop the recording and preserve the footage.

[@fishtraphunter5607]

Thank you for posting. Great tips to consider. Of the videos I've watched about self filming, you can tell you've spent time behind a camera. I know it's not always easy to upload content, but it very help. Again, thanks

[@bpwhitetails]

Appreciate the support! We plan on releasing a ton more hunt filming content this year. Glad it helped!

[@h-minus2212]

great video. Thank you

I've been self filming for a few years now. I use a sony a6500 and I agree that its hard to self film with the mirrorless. I plan on getting a ax700!

[@bpwhitetails]

That looks like a sweet camera! Should be really good in low light.

[@NelsonCobb]

@@bpwhitetails I agree! I do a lot of hog hunting and the pigs usually come out right at first light or at last light

[@TaterRidgeWalker]

Hey bud do you know of a lanc remote that will work with Sony AX-53? Or the adapter to use for it

[@bpwhitetails]

my setup is similar to the one in this video. I'm not sure if it would work the same with your camera but i would assume so. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGTHqWZjq9OlrdU

[@adevincenzo]

Where did you get that strap? I can’t find that style anywhere

[@bpwhitetails]

doublesteps.com! It's the over the center buckle and strap system they sell.

[@lizzleyt5682]

Besides the gopro is there a more budget camcorder you would recommend for someone who may want to get started self filming but is on a budget?

[@bpwhitetails]

Yea! Id forget about 4K and just get a good HD video camera. A canon G20 or similar. You should be able to pick one up used for under $500. As long as you can use a LANC remote with it you should be set.

[@Ty.Atkins]

I’m having a terrible time getting my mic to work with my go pro 10 I have the go pro adapter but still not working any tips or suggestions?

[@bpwhitetails]

Hmm. I always check my firmware to make sure that is up to date. Also make sure your mic is compatible.

[@stevedragon25]

What’s the name of the close over buckle your using for the arm? Or maybe a link

[@bpwhitetails]

I purchased it on doublesteps.com. doublesteps.com/product/ring-of-steps-strap-with-separate-buckle-ocb/
