Had nothing to do with the cameras but love your hair and great job on your makeup.

Please do take this as a compliment, you have been very instrumental and important in my hesitation to begin moto-vlogging. I have years of riding footage that I have collected but haven't done anything with any of it. Your transparency and frustrations in dealing with and battling the various algorithms and pressures of constant content creation along with other content creators frustrations have been an important perspective. What advice could you give in dealing with those frustrations and pressures and figuring out the algorithms so that it remains a fun thing to do. It is clearly apparent you put a lot of thought and research into these things in building your channel and the success of that work shows. It just seems though that so many get into content creation to get out of the typical rat race of life and it becomes a monster of a rat race of its own.

Unfortunately, there is no exact answer! I see creators with millions of subscribers, who have the exact same issues as creators who have 1000 subscribers. It’s just that inevitable feeling of putting your heart and soul into something you enjoy for it to not be well reciprocated in the end. KZread has always, and will always be an ebb and flow. The best you can do is just always focus on what brings you happiness and only create when you really want to. Hopefully the bad times go away and new people decide to come along and share the life with you online. That’s all I could ever hope for!

Thanks for the tips, Jess! I've been a long-time follower of your channel and am always looking for ways to improve and grow with my videos! Thanks for being you!

Hey Jess, This video is fantastic for people like me who are clueless about motovlogging. Thanks! Prayers Flying for safe travels

What a great resource, thank you so much for putting it together! My biggest challenge has been recording in-helmet narration/audio and easily syncing it with my footage. I’ve been recording it separately and trying to sync it in post but I think you’ve got the right idea here writing it directly to the GoPro footage. Really appreciate it your insight!

Just started my own channel a few months ago and I will definitely be incorporating some of these items to improve my videos. Thanks for the great suggestions and video!

And yet another great video from Jess Thanks Jess for the info...Happy Thanksgiving to you and your's !

Thanks for all the insight and tips in this video. I am definitely working on improving my audio set up and this helped me understand what to buy without wasting a bunch of money. See you on the backroads!

Awesome review! Great items! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!

Hi Jess, Thanks for putting this together. I am not starting a channel but I have been on a push to improve my "home movies" of my motorcycle travels & camping so there is a lot that applies. Thanks for sharing your hard-won experience! BTW - Maybe it's because most of your vlogs are in a helmet but I noticed the strong makeup game today. Well done and not overdone.

Hey Jess. You continue to be an inspiration to me. One of you previous videos actually helped me to figure out how to get clear audio. I have been considering using Tube Buddy but have been hesitant( I really don't know why). I am finally almost to 1000 subscribers and am trying to improve my editing skills. Keep up the good work.

Very informative. Thank for sharing. Have a Great Thanksgiving!!

I've been watching youtube videos for over 10yrs, started posting videos to my channel last year, no monetization yet but getting there!! I recently ordered a few used gopros off ebay(still waiting for them) looking for a mic, this video has been really helpful! Thank you!! 😊

I do have to say, you professional vloggers, got a lot going on. I had a few junk cameras from time to time just recording footage, but those videos were bad. so I never bothered. recently i started up again, not to be a youtube channel, just to record some of my favorite roads and save them for friends and such to watch. And, for me to re-watch over and over when i can not ride. so, i broke down and got a hero 9, then the aluminum helmet bracket , then the mic adaptor, then the silicone case, then paid for some editing software. OMG, but I record daily for security reasons, you know traffic issues and such. it got me into the routine. then just cutting some clips and adding them together. this video helped me to figure out whats what and what to use. so thank you ! there was a lot to research and put together, this video made it clear as day. Take care ! and thanks for the res, im only running at 1080@24 linear. I'm gonna mess around with that 2.7@60 this week.

I like your videos, and I really liked the adaptation of your gopro with the microphone is a very good idea for me to do for myself. I'm from Brazil and I love your videos.

I needed this video very much! Thank you. Just getting started on moto-vlogging. Inspired by you and Ol Man Ronin. I just recently bought a 2023 RE Himalayan. A second bike for me for camping. Just didn't want to haul camping gear on my '09 Street Glide. I'm hoping to get my first video out this year. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you Jess. I am having so much stress in trying to equip my helmet with the right gear. I only have a GoPro 5 so I guess it’s time to upgrade. I know my son and I have a special,channel but I just need the time to promote it. Love your channel and the passion you have

Just stated my youtube journey, and there is a massive learning curve on the editing. I have a lot to learn, and this video is very helpful, shame a lot of youtubers never do a video like this. I use hit film to edit, which comes with a small library of music, but the TubeBuddy is something I had not heard of before. I think that might help me moving foward, So thank you for this video.

happy thanksgiving enjoy your turkey awsome year you had

Great Vid thanks for sharing this. I’ve been working on my own channel for the last year and it’s not easy but I’ve had a good time doing it. I run the 256gb SDcards also. Big fan of the Adobe Suite also.

i'm a huge fan of many of you motorbloggers and thought i might like to try it, but i found as a person in my mid 60's i am just not tech savy enough, so i will just enjoy y'alls video

Great video Jess! I have been “Going to start videoing my rides”, even to the point I mounted front and rear facing cameras but I have very limited editing skills! Another “I’m going to..” item. Maybe Next year… 😂

Thanks so much I’m going to start making a more dirt bike themed channel and and all these tips where super helpful

Nice generalization of the full set up. Appreciate seeing this stuff. Also… Tubebuddy… I’m going to have to check that out. Thanks for the amazing content Jess.

I’m ready to start! I’ve done some tests. Now it’s time to plan some adventures. 🤘

Great video. Thanks for sharing some of your techniques.

Great video Jess!! I found this super helpful! Also, I’ve been a video editor for almost 36 years and work at a major TV network.. you’re decision to use Premiere Pro is wise.. it links well with the rest of the adobe suite especially if you are creating motion graphics in After Effects! I’ve been using GoPro cameras since the original GoPro Hero HD and I’ve actually just bought a DJI action 3.. I found I do lose a percentage of footage with GoPros.. but they are still good cameras.. I was also glad to see you are using royalty-free music.. I’ve had several videos audio-blocked due to using commercial music and there’s nothing worse than having to re-edit a video due to KZread stripping all the audio off.. keep up the amazing work and thank you again for this wonderful video!! Also,Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!

FANTASTIC! This gives the noob a great place to start. I have an INNOV system on my bikes, but it lacks the ability to give some of the personalization that you do. I tried a audio recorder, but that was such a pain to sync each time I stopped and restarted. Thanks for the information. Maybe I will try another video. My only one was of the Tail of the Dragon with my brother on his bike behind me.

You inspired my channel being created. I just uploaded simple riding videos this year. But I hope to have an inside helmet mic for 2023. :)

I love this video! I’m kicking around starting a bit of motorcycle vlogging of my own from the angle of a social weirdo Autistic/ADHD rider. This is helpful! The only thing I wish other creators would try, and I see the opportunity here as well, is moving away from auto white balance. I can tell who’s doing it because their content tends to look cold/blue even when they are complaining about the heat. The colors will pop more, good natural contrast range etc if WB is manually set. Just leaving it at something like 6000K when shooting outdoors, day or night, would go a long way.

I followed your lead and got the One X2 several months ago. Also, I got the Adobe. Ugh. Still trying to learn to use it all! 🙃

Thanks

Hey Jess, love the channel and thanks for putting this video together. I have a small gaming channel (this one) and I think I would like to try moto vlogging. Perhaps with a new channel or revamp this one since I no longer play the game. So, I have my setup, Hero 8 black on the chin with mic adapter and a Purple Panda mic, session 5 on the handlebars, I think I have a really decent start. I'm riding a 05 1200c Sportster. But I guess that's enough of a back story that really has nothing to do with my question, 😁 My question is that after a few test rides, everything looks and sounds great. Vocals are clear with a nice drone from the Sportster in the background and zero wind noise. Overall, I'm pleased, but I noticed that I look around way too much. I don't notice it during the ride, but it's nearly sickening to watch the playback. Literally left to right for the entire video. Watching your videos, you don't seem to have this issue. Is this the way you naturally ride, or is this learned skill? If this is something you had to overcome, do you have any tips for the wanna be vlogger? Thanks and keep up the great work.

Thank you

I was so pumped about starting a KZread channel. Watched a lot of videos on motovlog set ups. Including yours. Went out bought all the equipment, set it all up, recorded a few test runs and completely lost all motivation. It is so much work, and it so easy to say forget it and just go for a ride. The whole thing I think is a bit overwhelming to me, that and I hate the sound of my own voice 🤣. So how do you motivate yourself to get out and create a video?

Jess, I really appreciate all the information about how you put on your MotoVlogging production, it was very useful. I've been using my GoPro 10 for a year now when I ride, and have it mounted facing forward about where you have your 3rd person view on your your bars. My question is what is the best way you have found to routinely start and stop the camera's? are you using a GoPro remote(s) or are you doing what I do and taking a hand off the bars and tapping the top of the camera? I just watched your latest video on the your red helmet and all I can say is welcome to the NeoTec2 club; once you go modular its hard to go back, just remember to push the integrated dark visor back up before you go into a tunnel...yikes.

Perfect timing and a little motivation for me. Already have the gear, now I just need to get off my a** and press record. Great job!!!

That's not a problem for me. The problem is getting motivated to edit the footage. I spend all day on a computer for work and editing is time consuming. Especially since I don't know what I'm doing. lol.

I think you are the first person I have ever heard mention Tube buddy, and this is the first time I have heard of it. I will look into that. I think Go Pro settings are what I struggled with the most when I first started out, and it took a lot of trial and error, and skimming through everyone else's settings. I have a great helmet rig, though still trying to work through some winter wind noise because I add a wind screen during the winter (sportster bro here). Its not horrible, just not as good as I am used to. I think my biggest struggle is I work full time, AND have a part time job, so finding time to record is hard, especially now that daylight savings has ended, and the sun has already set when I get off work. 250 ish subs in 2 months is a good start I think, I just have to keep working at it. I don't know what the average channel growth is, but I imagine persistence is the key. If you have any other suggestions towards growth, I would appreciate it. I have ideas, just not enough time.

Great advice! Starting a channel was one of the best things I've ever done. It's unlocked so many amazing experiences so far in just a short time. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about it. You don't need anything fancy. The gear doesn't matter too much if you're fun or interesting to watch or listen to. Except a microphone. Audio is surprisingly more important that video when it comes to keeping retention. Jess not sure if I told you but You, Blockhead and Shadetree made me want to try this. So damn fun!

I do well capturing video, riding and managing the cameras all at once…forget trying to decide what to say while riding. There is no vlogging while riding here. I use Insta360 onex2 (a large editing learning curve but well worth it) and a GoPro Hero9. I admire those of you who can vlog while riding. My style is to just voice over in editing.

Thank you for all this info! I am planning on getting my vids going in the spring so when I head to Sturgis 2023 for my first time I hope to create some descent vids. Question about your computer. What computer and specs of it do you use?

Tube buddy allows me to schedule my video to publish in advance while still allowing me to share it with my members. (KZread allows you to schedule videos in advance, but won’t let you preview that video with others until it posts publicly)

Great information, my problem is I have a very "chill personality" which imo people would find very boring and not watch and two I don't have the balls to be doing wheelies and 150mph pulls on the Highway which is the type of content I LOVE and it seems to get the most views honestly!!!

Yeah I've been wondering what kind of travel gear you use? I have an '04 Road King and only have the stock bags on it and they aren't secure or very big. I do have the driver back rest, sissy bar and luggage rack, so I have space for larger bags, I just haven't started looking yet. I recently bought the bike and it is my first long distance capable bike, so needless to say I've been spending a lot of money in the shop either making repairs or doing some comfort upgrades. I have to give the previous owner credit for keeping it looking right, but they were a bit behind on maintenance or wear items, and I would love to know what the hell they used for a gps because I can't find anything to fit the wiring or the larger ball ram mount. Sadly it was all supposed to be removed on my last service (hydraulic cam chain tensioner) and bar (12") upgrade, but they reinstalled all of it GRRR! I've probably spent just about as much on service as I did the bike itself but I love it and don't really care that much but I'm running out of money. Last thing is a good yet inexpensive full face helmet. I'm heat intolerant and mine just doesn't ventilate well enough for long duration trips. I'd love to email you and discuss all this at some point and hope to see you and the hubby out on the road some time.

I have premier Pro and I find it very difficult,, most of the time I don't use it,, love your videos

Jess, I've been with you since you had 2k subs or so. You've grown so much and I enjoy watching it all. I've been considering trying to film some for several years but I really don't enjoy computers so I've held off. I honestly dread the editing process! 😩 However, I think it would grow on me if I ever could watch some of our riding footage. We've never been able to see ourselves riding and enjoying the sights. We both wear half helmets so I'm guessing there's no way to even record any audio is there? Would you have to just narrate those types of video in the editing process? I've tried to wear a full faced helmet but my neck is messed up due to fracturing it, in a horse buck-off. The pain and headaches I get will never allow me to tolerate the weight of even the lightest full faced helmet.

I have three different lav mics, tried all with deadcats and foam, tried plugging them into the gopro 7 black media mod, AND tried them with a zoom field recorder, and pretty much no matter what I do, above 40mph or so the wind noise becomes so loud that the audio starts clipping and popping and ends up being unusable. I also tried it with the mic being right in front of my mouth, with the mic being to the side, but not under the cheekpad, with the mic being under the cheekpad, to no avail. Therefore no videos yet :/ How did you figure out what setup would work for you? Did you run into this / similar problem?

Great video! I just bought an Akaso Brave 7LE and purchased the USB mic as well. It comes with a 4' long cable. Right now, I just have it bunched up and affixed to the inside chin portion of my helmet (HJC RS3). Is there a better way to route the cable for a cleaner look? BTW, my mouth does not hit the cable.
