I agree and still struggle with this (courage). Either it's the courage to talk to myself while riding or to continue talking with other vehicles around me and at stopped locations. Especially if I'm doing something like a bike review at a dealership on the showroom floor or walking around it before and after the demo ride. Thanks for sharing! Ride safe!
I find great audio is one of the biggest challenges. Started our channel to allow us to watch our rides when maybe we can’t ride as much in the future but then found others like watching to. Cheers Smithy
good video and yep you're right those are the basics for sure.. just that simple as far as the items you need...just the courage and learning how things work and trying new things takes time for sure..I know my latest video I finally done something new with it and it literally took me almost an hr alone just to add the new part of the video that isn't in any of my other videos I've done to date..So not sure if it helps any or not or completely bombs out the vibe of the video but is what it is as far as I see it about that. Indeed though it definitely isn't a overnight thing creating a new channel and learning things for sure.
Thanks for the advice. A microphone is a great add-on but arguably not an absolute need starting out. A person could record a ride and add music or even record a voice-over during editing. If you watch Meg's Motorcycle Journey her earliest videos were all voice-over - no mics used during her (half-helmet) riding. Thanks again and ride safe!
Nice video and I like the handguards with the indicators. And if you haven't got a bike you could be a back seat Motovlogger. I have no topics as i've eaten them all. Cheers
You've eaten them all? LOL Funny and cryptic thing to say...lol. And you're absolutely right! Nonna Grace rides on the back of her husband's Goldwing and does her recording. Thank you for making a brilliant point! Ride safe!!!
Courage to hit the record button. Yes Sir. Good message my friend. Hit the button, talk if you want and don't be so hard on yourself. Relax and find your path. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, John! It was intentional. Considering how intimidating motovlogging is to some (many) I focused on IMO the three minimal things necessary to begin. But a topic IS a good thing to have before or during a ride.
I do love my action cameras, but there are definitely a lot of folks out there doing A+ quality stuff with a phone. I personally can't stand editing with phone apps (last resort), but they are great for what they are!
We're in the same boat! I am not a fan of editing on my phone. I've done it...but I prefer a big monitor for my blind ass. LOL. Thanks for sharing your experiences and ride safe! Someone is reading your comment and being encouraged!
Y'now what Bob...out of all the comments from others...your comment makes the most sense for the intent of this video. I was trying to capture the (bare minimum) things that aspiring motovloggers need to start. And even though having a motorcycle is an assumed thing, NOTHING can be assumed at this time. LOL. Thank you! Ride safe my friend!
These are great things to add to the motovlogger repertoire but I'd argue that it's not a necessity to start motovlogging. If a person wants to talk while they ride, it's helpful, but some folks ride and don't use a mic. But this is a definite item that would be greatly helpful. Thank you for commenting and have a blessed day!!!
Not me. I'm not ruining my motorcycle riding with all that Electronic junk.😂 But I'm glad everybody else does Because I sure love watching it.😂😂 Be careful, ride safe.
I'm probably an extreme example...lol. I know folks who DO record but only to capture their rides and memories for their kids and grandkids. Whatever path you chose, ride safe. Thanks for sharing kerrymcclure!! I appreciate it.
Yup, our first recording was with our phones. I edited it with Photoshop. That was in 2014...We didn't have a YT channel yet. I even mounted my phone on my top case to catch following me. She was riding her shadow and I was on my 92, 1500 wing.
LOL thanks, Ben! I left those out intentionally. These are the three things (minimum) that aspiring motovloggers have to buy or download first to start the adventure. These are great things to work on and develop. Ride safe!
