Touring Video Idea
Greetings all,
I've been working for some time to better capture my touring/riding and video some footage as well as always taking photos. I've tried numerous things that some have worked better than others, but thought I might share what has been working best so far.
I'm currently using the new GoPro Hero 6 for video, and I must say that the new image stabilization, along with changing the perspective to linear has really made the footage look solid. The old days of the bouncy GoPro footage have not just about been eliminated. For photos, I've really began to rely solely on my cell phone to capture and share most of those. I think the convenience of it just simply makes sense.
One of the issues with the GoPro, however, was that I could certainly mount it to my bars, or helmet or whatever but there was no easy way to one handed grab the camera and easily capture something from the side perspective of my ride, or to grab it and get some selfie style vlog footage, to narrate a bit of where I was, etc. This prompted me to begin looking for solutions for a one handed grab and move GoPro style mount to which I had difficulty finding. Therefore I basically worked with some Quad Lock products to create my own.
If you have been looking for a similar soluition, I hope that maybe this will help you create something for your tours as well. Video of what I created below:
FYI for the microphone setup I'm using, you can check out the Path Less Pedal folks on YouTube as I got that from him on how to setup the mic solution and I must say, I'm very pleased with it as well.
Thanks,
Captain Bob
