Nice work man! Love a good POV video and even better in the rain.

Are you using go pro for POV? whats the setup like? I am just getting into youtube and wanting to document and do steet photography. Any tips would be appreicaited.

[@TKNORTH]

I'm using a GoPro 11 - also Osmo Pocket 3 a bit at the start of the video. Using one of the neck mounts you may have seen a lot recently. They seem to be really popular now as they are really easy to just pop around your neck. I have a vertical mount for it as well - which honestly brings the biggest challenge for me. Shooting landscape POV for YT, isn't quite wide enough to cut into vertical video for reels etc, so you really need to just pick one at a time. Hope that was somewhat useful! Any more direct questions that pop up just let me know ✌️

@ such a legend bro. Thank you. I have a hero aswell. I’ll just mount that on my chest. Hope that helps. Still rusty. I’ll get there.

@@unlikelymoment practice makes perfect mate! I hadn't made a YT POV video like this for a while either so felt a bit the same.

@@jurrevandermeer4857 Oh nice one! I'm actually only back in Feb at this stage, but sure I'll visit again soon enough!

[@jurrevandermeer4857]

Hello friend, hope you are doing well. First and foremost, GREAT video, very peaceful and interesting and easy to watch every second of. Now, to constructively criticize ( I would also like to preface with the fact that these are just opinions): personally, i'm glad you add the settings your camera was at when you shot a picture, however, when u put them NOT facing up and down (meaning upright, as you are reading these words) it makes it very hard to read, and immediately makes me turn my head. Couple this with the fact that you only reveal your image for about 4 seconds; I have to make a choice, look at the photo or the settings, OR pausing it each time (significantly elongating your video, decreasing the likelihood I watch it all the way through). Second (and lastly) whatever you use to capture your POV is slightly too narrow (once again, just an opinion), without the camera being in frame, I never really know if what I am looking at is B-roll or your about to take a photo, then BOOM outta nowhere, the shutter clicks and a picture pops up. With a larger field of view, your camera stays in frame (if you lift it up when u shoot) and I can actually follow along in your movements. Lots of times people just eave the usual "awesome stuff" or "great video" but every now and again, I like to leave people with some food for thought so...chow.

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much for the feedback! Not sure I'll be making any straight out POV videos like this again in the future - just not something I really enjoy making or really watching at the moment. Happy to show them as part of a larger video though so still useful to know! Cheers
