I just started vlogging this year, and it honestly changed my life. My first (traveling to Malaysia) vlog even got 1k views in the first month! It's so much work, but honestly it feels like legacy building. So so glad I started this format!
Here's a tip from an old pro... No matter what light you vloggers use, you can always soften it by purchasing a small sheet of "Frost" diffusion. Rosco, for instance has light Opal, Tough Frost and many more and a 21" x 24" sheet is only $8.50 (on B&H). A sheet that big should last you for months if not years! Just cut a small piece off and attach it to your light with tape. Gaffer tape will work best and that too is available on-line. This gives you options as to how much diffusion you want on your light and it can be used on any light, even large LED fixtures.
I got the Spidermonkey holster recently and LOVE it. Wow, what a game changer. I saw it in your review months ago and kept debating but finally decided to try it out. Thank you! It works like a dream for backpacking as you can hold your hiking poles while hiking and just grab the GoPro to shoot something whenever you want. Like that it clicks in place also! I am buying a 2nd one so my hubby can have the clip on his belt, too.
Hey Guys, firstly you are doing great. I recently started a RU-vid channel and your channel has been very helpful to understand the hardware aspect of vlogging. Thanks.
@@Gemini_Connect I love the idea just needs a ball head, and more reach as well as ulanzi has a 10mah and 4500 seems a bit small for what they're asking
Thank you for the video, very interesting ! I use the GoPro 9 for travel vlog with my family and I agree the sound of the media mod is not great. We’re 4 and I was wondering if you also recommend the wireless mic as there are only 2 transmitters. Thank you
Is there anything you didn't lose? LOL 🤣😂 j/k I just bought the GoPro Hero 10 Black a few days ago. It's my first ever GoPro. We are going on a vacation to a theme park, so I need the best action camera for riding on the roller coaster rides. 🙂 Love watching your videos about camera equipment for the GoPro Hero 10 Black. It's helping me make the best purchase decisions.... much love from Florida 😃 Not sure if you are Chinese but my wife said "Ni Hao" 😜
Thanks for sharing you Vlogging setup with us, I use a lot of the same gear. But I wasn't aware of that Insta360 handheld mount, I will have to check it out. I use one additional camera to my setup that you didn't mention, the DJI Pocket 2. It helps fill some of gaps between the Hero 10 and my iPhone 13 Pro. Great video.
Wonderful insights Suzie! Thank you again for yet another brilliant video with fabulous tips! Tiny suggestion if I may, check out the Synco G2 A2 wireless mics. They are quite a fair bit cheaper than the Rode 2 but just as good :)
Hi, can you recommend a mic that I can add to the media mod for recording good sound at the front and back at the same time. I interview people on the street and I’m at the back of the camera asking questions.
is it worth upgrading from Go Pro 7? Usually i just grab my iPhone 13 Pro to vlog, so convenient but a few shops told me not to film. If I had a GoPro with a neck mount I think they wouldn't have noticed. The problem is some restaurants a little dim mood lighting and not sure if that's too dark for GoPro.
We use these settings on our GoPro: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5RJC5a6hRjg.html Also, if you are editing the video in a video editor, make sure you are importing and deporting the video at the highest quality resolution.
Great video! How can I connect the Volta and an external omnidirectional microphone simultaneously to the GoPro Hero 11 WITHOUT having to use the Media Mod? What do I need to do that?
@@Gemini_Connect Thank for your answer, much appreciated. But as I understand, the GoPro has only one USB-C port, so if I use the Volta there is no place where I can connect the Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter to the camera. And I definitely consider getting the Rode Wireless GO2 microphones, but they need to be connected to a USB-C port as well, right? So, what do I do?
hi, my name is oren, i enjoied your video so much and i would love your opnion for a travling vlog (only me) whice mic is the best rode wierless 2 or rode video micro (shotgun) i want to have to best audio so wireless seems perfect, but ! i will be many times at the beach so not always a shirt to plug it in or even biking or Kayaking where there is no place for wierless rode 2 and also i will use a max grip stick cause like u i need the camera further away from me i know an aoption is to simply put the wierless on the camera but i dont want it to pick sounds from behinde me like cars and other noses so i want to go with the shotgun (rode video micro) but im afraid th sound will not be as good while the camera is on the max grip and we all know how much sound is important tanks again for a great video as always and for your help :)
That was an excellent video. I currently don't have a GoPro and film with my Sony ZV-1, but that is often too bulky, so I think I'll consider a GoPro as my next important upgrade!
Honestly we have too many cameras, lol. The GoPro and 360 cam cover our wide angle shots, and they have great stability without needing a gimbal. The Pocket 2 felt repetitive. But if you need a pocket cam and didn't want to use GoPro, the Pocket 2 could be a replacement.
2 batteries has given me a full day of shooting on every GoPro I own. It’s in my style of shooting - clips of 1 minute or less throughout the day. Usually 3 hours of total shooting for 2 days.
Ma'am I'm planning to buy go pro but the 1st problem how to transfer my videos to my android phone for to edit and upload to you tube can please help tq
I have high hopes they'll make at least some if these improvements in V2 of the Volta. But yeah, third party makers have crafted great GoPro vlogging rig accessories.
I am intrigued- how do you manage to get steady footage when walking with GoPro Hero 10? For me that slow up and down, especially when walking on trails in nature, seems to defeat the otherwise amazing stabilization (such as recording driving a quad bike over very rough ground). Are you using a gimbal. It doesn't look like it in the first minute of this clip (and elsewhere). Above all I want to share with people my walking in nature on often very steep "goat" trails. Haven't managed to work out a good way to achieve this. Cheers Andrew from New Zealand.
We have Hypersmooth Boost enabled and always shoot in well lit areas (Hypersmooth seems to deactivate when filming in low light). That gives us really smooth footage, even without a gimbal.
hello my name is Christos I am from Greece and I watch your channel ... I find your videos informative and interesting. I have a gooro hero 9 and I recently bought the isteady oro 4 after the last upgrade of the camera it has problems with the connection do you have some information about M this. thank you very much...
Su'sie, doesn't the mic plug on the Ulanzi door work with the GoPro? I love that door, but I do not know if the mic plug on that device works. As a totally blind RU-vidr and GoPro'er, I really appreciate what you guys do!
Suuuuuuuper annoying because you have ro remove it from the mount. But the Enduro battery lasts longer and we try to charge it with an external battery when not filming, so this makes for less battery changes.
Because they want people to buy the adapter 😉. That and GoPro is an action camera first, and I guess most action folks don't need to add their own mics.
I'd go for the Hero 10. Hero 9 just had too many bugs and problems. The new chip in the Hero 10 really improved the performance and reliability of the camera.
Only had a fee freezing bugs; when that happens, hold down the power button for about 10 seconds and that repairs everything. Freezing happens a lot less than before for us.
