A video that gives people benefit. Thank you so much Ms.

[@RodieOsc]

Thank you so much for this. I couldn't find something explaining these two products on KZbin. Was going to wait for the DJI Mic but its probably going to take along time before its even out.

[@travelpockets]

You're welcome! I'm so happy to hear that you found this useful. I'll have to look into those DJI Mics later too :)

[@TimothyWard]

Very informative video! Thank you so much for making it!

[@travelpockets]

Thank you so much for the compliment! Have a great day😊

[@veganwolf3268]

Thanks. I use some of your tips to film drying paint.

Right on!

Great video! Just ordered the Rode 2 and your video was very helpful!

[@travelpockets]

That's great to hear! Enjoy :)

[@MagicFlyinPotato]

Thank You for the link! This video has been extremely helpful. You're the second channel that I have seen using the RODE Wireless Go Mics (Well I know there are tons more, but 2 that I have actually seen the mic in use). They are going onto my wish list for sure.

[@travelpockets]

You're very welcome! Yeah, I would just do some tests first and see what works best for you😊

[@MagicFlyinPotato]

@@travelpockets This has definitely helped steer me (pun intended?) in the right direction for things I need to be looking at to start up. I will keep in touch if I have other questions. 😊

Thanks for sharing about the Go Pro Hero 9 and the other 🤳 cameras!They definitely keep you updated!!👍🤗🚙🌄 Take care!🌺

[@travelpockets]

You're so welcome! Yup, they are always coming out with new versions😅

[@elinekberg]

Oh so nice video!❤️

[@travelpockets]

Thank you so much!

[@subwaymirdif]

Good advice

[@ArtiePenguin1]

Very good and helpful video! For overheating concerns, I'd recommend running the GoPro without a battery, just plugged into USB power. You can also put a small 40 mm USB fan over the battery opening; although it would not work with the media mod. I like the Telesin charging case you recommended. I use one of their regular chargers and the case would be better in the car so batteries don't fall in between seats or get lost. Would you have any specific suggestions for inside camera angles for solo vlogging? I was thinking the angle you used at the end of the video works best but I'd love to hear your thoughts...

[@travelpockets]

Thanks for the recommendation on using the cable with no battery. I'll have to try that out! As far as angles, there are so many you can go with, but I personally like the driver's seat angle the best with the camera on the far left - the original way of how I started all this😊

[@Avinashkaparia]

Fallen in love with your face amd voice ❤️

[@andrescolintv]

I approve this. Great job

[@travelpockets]

Thank you kindly!😊

@@travelpockets haha seriously it’s a cool set up. Never too many GoPros

[@Leesboringlife]

The Rode transmitters can be set to record as a backup. They can have up to 7 hrs uncompressed saved. Once set, they automatically start recording when turned on.

[@travelpockets]

Godo to know, thanks!

[@AssadHamid]

Very good vlog 👌

[@travelpockets]

Thank you so much😊

[@JoeSzilagy]

Good video! Regarding low light, I'd seen videos where using a hohem iSteady 4 gimbal (specifically designed especially for Go Pros) can help, plus there are videos here on KZbin with some settings for low light on the Go Pro 10, which are pretty impressive.

[@travelpockets]

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely have to look into the low light settings.

[@Samelia]

I love it! Even that it is obsessive LOL but still awesome

[@travelpockets]

LOL obsessive? You think so?😂

[@Orchestereo]

Awesome video! I noticed my gopro 10 overheating on trips as well. I tried removing the battery and using a USB C charger from the car and it doesn't over heat when doing long footage like motion lapses :D

[@travelpockets]

Thank you! I might try your method next time of removing the battery and connecting the USB-C charger👍

We edit our videos in Adobe Premiere

[@eddiebeltoe]

Awesome video with great tips :) do you shoot the 4k/30/w when vlogging?

[@travelpockets]

Thank you so much! Yup, I shoot at 4K, 30 fps, wide.

[@yatiandfamily]

Thank you sharing! I’ve just started a YT channel and am looking to invest in a mic. I keep delaying because it looks like a little bit of hassle setting them up and I might forgot to turn them on too. Was thinking of Saramonic or Rode but now in my country some people manage to get their hands on the Dji Mic already. I’m currently relying fully on the HERO10 built in mic until I’m ready to part with my money for the Dji Mic 😀

[@travelpockets]

Glad it was helpful! I'm thinking about investing in the DJI Mic for my next road trip too. It has a lot of features that I like and there's been good reviews so far.

[@mugwhy]

Thanks for sharing. I have the rode wireless go but the original model. I'm still struggling to get good clear speech over the road noise. The speech is clear, the road noise is just so loud over the top of it. Still experimenting...

[@travelpockets]

It's really hard to get the road noise completely out of the video because in a lot of places, you're driving 65-75 miles an hour. Using audio filters in Premiere helps, but you still hear the noise. I'm testing out the DJI wireless mics on the next road trip and I'll see how that goes!

[@bountifuladventures]

I just ordered my first gopro so this is quite helpful. What kind of mount do you have for your dash? Is it adhesive or suction? Looking forward to checking out all of your travel videos!

[@travelpockets]

So happy to hear that this was helpful! I'm using an adhesive mount for the dash.

[@CristianSGuedes]

Holy cow! You really like the GoPro! haha (I got only the Hero 10 for now, but I am glad to meet you and your channel) ----------- EDITED: I would like to see this army of GoPros in action LOL.

[@travelpockets]

Hahaha yeah.... every time I get a new GoPro, I still keep the older ones. It's just fun to see all the different angles :) That's a great idea on showing how I get things in motion with this GoPros! Maybe on the next road trip,

[@jayfromaz]

Good video. The overheating is a problem. I've experienced the same thing. So I bought online metal cases that go around each of my three gopros. I have two GoPro 8s and One go pro 7. That allows me to shoot about 40 to 60 minutes depending on the cars internal temperature. Also I use the GoPro remote control and have had decent success with it activating all the cameras at the same time. My metal cases are built by Puluz. It was recommended by a KZbinr who said they did dissipate heat well.

[@travelpockets]

Thanks for the info! I'm hearing from more people that overheating is definitely a problem. It doesn't bother me too much, but I can see how this can be a pain for many others.

[@jayfromaz]

@@travelpockets from what I understand the cameras were designed to be used outdoors like on the helmet of a bicyclist. The moving air would keep them from overheating. I never had a problem with my GoPro is outdoors. But I did once I mounted it into my car to see how that would work out. It didn't. They overheated. That's why I bought those metal cases and they've been recommended because they they seem to be good at dissipating heat somewhat. I have some experience with the zoom microphone also. But you're right. Unless you use an external microphone on it it's not the greatest audio in the world. But then you're also right that that creates other problems. Also I didn't know if you turned off stabilization or not. I've seen postings that say that for car usage it's better to have it turned off. I know that's true for cameras on tripods. Anyway, once again, enjoyed the video. Good luck on your channel.

[@travelpockets]

@@jayfromaz Hmmm, so the still air causes the overheating too... interesting. The metal cases are a good idea, but with my setup, I have to use the GoPro Media Mod with the RODE mics, so I'm unable to put a case over that. I have tried tests where I turn the stabilization on and off and it doesn't make a difference with the overheating in the car.

[@thecivilizedoutdoorsman9128]

Thanks for the video on your equipment. Do you only use GoPro branded batteries, or do you also use third party batteries (like Telesin)? If you have tried third party batteries, have you had any issues with them? Thank You!

[@travelpockets]

I use third party batteries on my older GoPros like the GoPro HERO8 and HERO6 and they work totally fine. No issues.

Great setup. I just picked up the 10 and while testing it in the car it overheated after 20 minutes. I’d love to know how you edit your codes and if you use Adobe or something else.

[@travelpockets]

Thanks! Oh ok, so it wasn't just my setup that overheats the 10 after 20 minutes. Good to know. I use Adobe Premiere to edit my videos.

[@abdulaziz-gx8dh]

Hi there a new subscriber here. Which gopro would you please recommend for a beginner? Main purpose recording drives/dashcam. Thanks in advance

[@travelpockets]

Hello! All of them are really great for beginners, but if you want to save some money, you can probably get the GoPro HERO8 for a good price. I would say either HERO8 or HERO9.

I'm overwhelmed. And I'm afraid to ask, but really want to know...how much time does it take you on average to edit all of the footage for one of your videos?
