[@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.

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.

[@Gemini_Connect]

You're welcome! GoPro is a great vlogging camera, IMO. It works pretty well as-is, but adding an external microphone in particular takes things up a notch. Good luck!

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.

Thanks Dana! The GoPro carry strap and Spider holster have been great -- super convenient for going from vlogging to hands free 😀

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

@@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.

[@Gemini_Connect]

@@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.

[@CarolineLovesTravel_]

Thanks for sharing. This info is very useful. I think we are more willing to invest in accessories if they are designed for longer term of usage and are compatible with next and future released new model of video shooting devices, plus shareable usage across different brands and cameras rather than just one single version model.

Sorry about that -- we're not super into water sports.

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.
