What are the settings you use on the GoPro for video? It looks so good! Do you have a settings video up already?

Thank you so much for all the great information and for listing the products! 😊 my husband and I are thinking of starting a channel with vlogging, mostly, in the car. We would definitely be interested in the products, only using the gopro, to be hands free.

Hey guys try this! BOYA BY WM4 PRO K2 its actually very similar to the Rode but has 2 mics! So you can both have the sound wirelessly. Just bought it myself for the same reason, vlogging in the car with my friend.

Great job :)))

This is great. Check out the new DJI mic system. It s awesome!

how did you get a bright interior footage? what setup did you make

Unbelievably good video. Logged onto my account to comment and upvote the vid. Love how you put the set up in the top corner. What a wonderful video. Thank you so much for your work

Good stuff! Do you shoot at 30fps always or do you switch to 60fps or a different frame rate depending on the situation. And do you ever shoot 24fps instead of 30fps for vlogging?

@Gemini_Connect

4 жыл бұрын

We shoot 30fps to have some flexibility to slow the footage down in post production. For the same reason, we occasionally shoot in 60fps, but that takes up more memory card space, so we do it less frequently.

I notice that you mentioned when using the Joby mount, that you’re unable to see how your video is set up in frame; I tend to use the GoPro app. One of its features is that it shows exactly how you have your camera aimed and what you’re viewing/recording.

Thanks for this, very helpful. Can I ask what settings you use for both GoPro and rode wireless. I am referring specifically to the DB level on the rode and is GoPro set to stereo, wind or auto please.

dB levels are customized to your voice. On Martin's it's lowered a bit, and on Suzi's it's raised; audio set to stereo. GoPro Settings are wind reduction off, Powered Mic.

Hi! came across your channel and i can say that your's has the most comprehensive and detailed tips. I would like to ask what would audio and set-up would you recommend if there will be passengers at the back joining the conversation?

@Gemini_Connect

25 күн бұрын

That’s a tough one, because it sounds like you’d have more than 2 people needing audio. Most wireless mic kits only come with 2 mics. So if you want the best audio, it’s ideal to get 2 dual channel wireless mic kits (so 4 transmitters total), and give each person a mic. 2 of those transmitters would need to be able to record audio internally, and then you would have to spend time editing the audio tracks together. But the simplest and cheapest way is to use a wireless mic kit and just hand the transmitter around to whoever is speaking.

Awesome info, thanks! Any chance you have used or plan on trying a GoPro Max in the car?

Great question -- we don't have the GoPro Max and don't plan on getting one. We will be getting the GoPro Hero 9, whenever that comes out.

Love this video !!!!! Just subbed and just released a new GoPro edit on my KZread!!!!!!

Great review. I'm curious if you have tried Saramonic Blink 500 kit that comes with 2 transmitters and 2 Lav mics's? I saw that you've tested other Saramonic mic's in your GoPro Hero 9 microphone test. I've never used them but it seems like a good solution for keeping the sound more level between the 2 of you. I also saw another reviewer using a $5 splitter cable with 2 microphones that let one person record on the Left channel and the other on the right so he could level the inputs in post.

What a coincidence! 2018 I was in the Olympic too.. using my new S9 for vlogging. And the whole audio is J*NK due to the buzzing/fluttering interference noise. I only realized after flying back to India. I'm someone who tests things out thoroughly before using, and I did test it out with my 'rode mic go' (it worked fine) before committing to vlog that trip with the s9 .. and yet random videos had really bad interference. Later I figure out its a issue with the Samsungs with using external mic.. while doing multiple recording. Not something you'd expect from a 1000$ phone. The same mic worked with cheaper Mi & Oneplus phones very well. I'm sure they haven't fixed it in the s10 either.. only because it's only a handful of us who use the phone with external mic to vlog - you guys, me, and I saw only one more youtuber complain about it in the last 2 yrs I've searched. (hence I'm writing this comment in length). The # of people with issues is too less for them to give a sh7t. Although, I still think its a shame that it's a basic thing that should work flawless on flagship device. I know I'm gonna have a ton of headache while editing my vlogs of the whole Washington series.

Is the Gopro suction mount good for car vlogging?

@Gemini_Connect

4 жыл бұрын

We think the Joby is the best mount. The locking arm is the most steady if you're able to find it.

You might be able to get a mini mixer and mix the audio from 2 lav mics and then plug it into the Rode Go. That would work for driving in the car but not for moving around of course. Plus you would have to remember to take your lav off before you exit the car. Otherwise you'll drag it out with you. 😁

not positive but I am pretty sure the buzzing is coming from being near speakers, the speakers don't have to be on or off for the buzzing to start but the closer you are to a speaker the louder the buzzing gets, car speakers phone speakers any kind of speaker, maybe the magnets in speakers cause the buzzing??
