Moto Vlogging Setup: Arai Tour X-4 & GoPro Hero 10 

Thanks for the tip, I'll take a look.

I like to shoot at a higher resolution than I output, so that I can zoom the frame if I need to. I've found 2.7k is enough when I'm publishing at 1080p, and it uses less space and battery than 4k. I'm shooting 50fps so that I don't need to change it if I'm doing a shot in the garage with lights on (UK is 50Hz power) - you might choose 60fps. I have the lens set to wide on both cameras. I find this gives a wide enough view, without it getting too distorted. It all looks really good straight off camera, though RU-vid does degrade that quite a bit. I find auto exposure on the helmet cam does a great job, but the handlebar cam has more sky in frame, so it tends to underexpose me. I have to lift the brightness a little in post. For angles... on the helmet cam, I experimented using a mirror to get the camera looking straight ahead when my head is held normally, then I checked it with some test recordings. Now that I now the angle for the bracket, I just set it the same every time. On the handlebar cam, I don't always get this right, but the Hero 10 has a screen on the front so you can adjust before you set off. I should say that since this video, I bought another Hero 10 to use on the handlebar, and I have the GoPro Remote to start and stop both cameras. They don't start and stop at exactly the same time, so I use my thumb and forefinger like a mini clapper board, and I can use that to sync the clips in edit. Hope that helps 😁

@@CGRidesMotorcycles Great info! Many thanks.

There’s a bit of wind noise from the beak, but otherwise I’d say it’s OK. Not the quietest helmet I’ve had, but by no means the loudest. I always wear earplugs anyway so I may not be the best judge.

I also use a the Insta360 One RS - great camera. I have the mic pointing slightly up as most of the noise comes from the underside of the helmet. I use mine with the standard foam filter on, but it’s also worth trying the furry cover if you have one.

@@CGRidesMotorcycles Will do that for sure, the standard foam filter has been working really well so far, it's always trial & error!

@@ADVBrett It's been a learning curve for me too! I've been able to clean up the audio quite nicely in Davinci Resolve too.

Yes I am, and it has been great. Only thing I’m not keen on is the Media Mod case making it awkward to change batteries. If I was doing it today I might go with DJI.
