[@ZannParker]

I've watched your video twice now-- it is so informative, thank you! Two questions: 1. I'm a little confused on the mic adapter... is it a requirement if I want to attach any mic?? 2. you mentioned both a Ulanzi cage and a Telesin cage. I want to be able to attach both a light and mic. Is there one you prefer over the other? I've heard the mic on the Media Mod is not that good, so I am leaning toward one of the other. Thank you!!

[@Gemini_Connect]

You need either the Media Mod or GoPro mic adapter to add a mic. I prefer Media Mod, or Ulanzi cage if using mic adapter.

[@Reason756]

Great video. I am considering a GoPro and after learning about all of these accessories, I am able to work out an accurate budget.

Regarding charging whilst recording, yes, you actually can. With external power connected, you can run the camera nearly indefinitely - which is great for super-long time lapse shots. 😀

Does it come with a wall charger?

Will my Hero 8 Black fit inside the Ulanzi case? If so, do have the link for the plastic version?

[@docwatson1134]

Suzi, I want to say thank you, your videos on the Gopro and accessories have been clear, easy to listen to, and very helpful. I love my Hero 10 black, arrived first of December. Just learned from you of the dome, bought it immediately. I shoot video and take photos on the Oregon coast, winter is best, higher tides, fewer people. I always bring an aluminum painters pole, I'll clamp this to it and drag it through the water, dunk it in the surf, excited to see the results. Thanks again, you guys are an inspiration to film better, edit better, plan better, and have more fun creating content.

[@Gemini_Connect]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm happy to hear that you enjoy the videos and your GoPro.

@@Gemini_Connect im gonna give it a try. ive got a trip to a hill tribe village coming up to deliver some solar panels and a power cell to their school with one of my podcast partners. I think it would be the ideal setup for that.

@@IdeaStudioBKK Wow, that sounds like a great trip! Let us know if you post the video -- would love to see it.

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

​@@Gemini_Connect I def will post it up on my channel, we are trying to go in either December or January. There are a lot of logistics with that trip because we will bring all the material from Bangkok to Chaingmai via train and then connect with the school teacher in chaingmai before heading to the town at the base of the mountain range and we have to travel to the hill tribe village via 4x4. My wife and I did it a few years ago, it's not an easy trip, but it's a ton of fun. I was just at a Thai prison today to do some volunteer work with another one of my partners, I brought the GoPro, but they wouldn't let me film inside, unfortunately. Still a great day tho.

[@mlatief5865]

Hey Lots of interesting gadgets. great ideas Thanks for sharing

[@tracygrieder6217]

I enjoyed your thorough explanation and demonstrations of the accessories. I wish you could do a teaching( how to) video on “how to use your go pro as a beginner film maker. I’m trying to learn.

[@Gemini_Connect]

Here are camera settings to get started - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4OtdGiXa82FoMk And here are GoPro editing tips - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2rUh6KhfMidZtE Besides these, the next step is to figure out your storytelling style and how to convey your story. Best way to do this is watch a bunch of videos in the style you want to make and find your own way to replicate them.

[@StarWarsJay]

I really enjoyed your video, thank you :) So I’ve been using my iPhone for filming my KZbin stuff. I need to upgrade as although I have a good phone, it can be a pain setting it up and of course I can’t use it for anything else while filming. Would you say a GoPro Hero 9 is good enough for my purposes (there’s one on offer at a good price right now)? Many thanks, Jason.

Thank you for making this, I just switched to the Hero 9 for vlogging and I don't really know much about it and the after market still seems to be catching up for that specific gopro.

[@bethcooper7104]

Can the teather come off like easy if it fell

[@Gemini_Connect]

The tether is surprisingly strong as long as the screw is attached well to the mount. I've had the camera fly off several times snd thought it was lost, but the tether saved it.

I think in this video you stated you cannot charge the go pro and film at the same time. Has that changed with the Go Pro 10? I am thinking of purchasing one to use to mount on the wing of an aircraft which makes it kinda tough to change batteries as I am not planning to be a wing walker anytime soon. Thanks in advance for your answer.

[@sosuaevents]

Great video, thanks! we`ll go back to shooting more with Gopro cameras, far easier than DSLR for simple everyday stuff.

[@Watcher239]

Great round-up of usable accessories. You do a terrific job at presenting. I wonder about the silicone cases instead of the simple metal cage you mentioned, to protect the GoPro from minor dings. Any disadvantages/advantages? Thanks. Now it’s on to some of your other great videos.

[@carloshernandezgomez5289]

What option (Media Mod or Ulanzi Cage and Mic Adaptor) would you recommend for a climber in order to use the Deity Duo and ND Filters?? I know the microphone I’ll use but I can’t decide which cage/mod and which filters (the square ones directly in the lens or the 52mm variable) AWESOME VIDEO, simple quick and sooo complete, thanks a lot!!!!

[@Gemini_Connect]

For filters, you probably want the regular ND filters, not the Variable ND (because you'd need 2 hands to change it). I think the Media Mod is best because it's one complete unit and unlikely to accidentally fall apart or get dislodged.

I do Alot of dirt jumping and downhill/trails on mtb, my GoPro was going to be 💯 dedicated to that sport, it’s let me see myself in pov and tripod which showed me things I wasn’t aware of while I was riding, but it was clear to me very early on I was lying to myself and that I was going to be taking it everywhere on all occasions using when needed. lol And it’s been really awesome, So I Came across this video in the night on the day of getting my GoPro, I saw prob half the mods and extras you mentioned allowing me without diving into a shallow pool with my eyes shut, knew exactly what I needed and it was needed..

This was a great video and is helping me make the decision to buy the Gopro. Also are you using a gopro to film this video. Or is it a different camera? I have noticed that the gopro doesn't do as while indoors or low light areas.

[@Gemini_Connect]

This video was filmed with a Fujifilm XT3. GoPro does indeed struggle when filming indoors.

[@Grandpa-Chris]

Loving the videos, I have a question for you, GoPro hero 8 Black, poor battery life… 30-40 minutes max even when on standby, how do I enhance the battery life? Thank you

[@Gemini_Connect]

Use a power brick/external battery to charge when using or not using the camera. Carry extra batteries. Shoot at lower resolution settings. These would help a bit, but your battery life is pretty standard for GoPros.

[@Grandpa-Chris]

@@Gemini_Connect thank you so much for sharing your time with me… I have started using the power bricks and a powered hand grip, I found that filming in very low temperatures drained the batteries in about 20 minutes even in standby mode, I really enjoy your channel and you have helped me as a newcomer to KZbin no end… I am a specimen trout hunter in the UK and have already adapted my fishing vest to cater for the power packs. I will be cheeky and ask you to check out a couple of my vids and see if you can suggest how to improve my channel. Thank you again, stay safe and healthy my friend.

[@KCs_Travel_vlog]

Hi! Just asking which mic is best for moto vlogging not too expensive yet good guality... Thanks and god blessed...

[@Gemini_Connect]

For moto vlogging, you'll probably want a lavalier or lapel mic. You could probably get away with using a wired one, or if you have extra budget, a wireless system like the Rode Wireless Go or Saramonic Blink 500 would give you more freedom. Either way, you'll need the Media Mod or Mic Adapter to use an external mic, and you probably will not want to use the internal mic.

[@maidvices1426]

is the Ulanzi Frame for 52mm or 55mm filters? because ecommerce in my country lists it as 55mm

[@hookerinpnwonderland2388]

Please be aware that using a wire cable tether in a whitewater situation is generally considered a safety hazard. The older style loop tethers were made from material that could be cut in an emergency and didn't pose as great a threat. I would not recommend anyone use a metal cable tether in any moving water where snags could be present (ie most rivers).
