Thanks for the advice. This is my second channel but my first outdoor channel that would require a GoPro. I was looking at the hero 9 but would rather start at a lower budget. Is this still viable in your opinion?
Great video! Nice to see someone at your level giving tips, tricks, and info on all the "how to" in order to get started KZread-ing. Lately some of the power hitters have "become complainers" about the all the new KZread fishing channels. Nice to see you're embracing the freelance marketplace and free enterprising concepts for everyone! LOVE THAT!
I started bass fishing this past summer (LI, NY), and quickly became totally addicted. I decided to hold off on buying myself a pricey kayak, and instead, ordered myself a hero10 the other day to start making content as a beginner's journey while I continue fishing the different banks nearby and really focus on learning different techniques. Knowing I will use the camera literally every time I am out there makes me feel great about the change in direction. As someone beginning this process, your video is extremely helpful and very well delivered. I already know I need to cut the "um" and questionable language from my vocabulary after hearing how clearly you deliver. Like anything, I know it will get better and second nature over time. I appreciate the info and look forward to watching some more of your stuff. This was the first of many for me.
Man I needed this video! I've had a channel for about a year now and I still learned a lot!

Great stuff Westin! Very helpful information. I’ve used a lot of your tips in getting my channel started. Thanks for the tips! Keep the vids coming and catch em’ up!
Hi Westin, I really appreciate the advice. A couple of things I got out of this video to grow my channel... 1. chest mount is a must, 2. 1080 is usually fine, 3. batteries(will go bad so go with cheap ones) Thanks!
Thanks for the tips Westin-I started a channel about 3 months ago an am trying to grow-thanks again for the tips
Love the video.I've been interested in starting a youtube channel but it seems so expensive to get started.This video made it seem so simple and not very expensive
Thanks for sharing how to get started with creating your own channel. You have really helped me in starting a fishing channel of my own.
My son and I are about to start our own fishing channel and I really enjoyed this video, thanks!

I’ve been thinking about starting to make videos myself, but just for fun to share with friends and family. My wife even told me to buy a GoPro last year when I started to get back into fishing which I thought was cool. My only real hang up is I’m not to tec savvy, but It’s definitely inspiring from the content to the editing man. The fact that you actually take the time to read your followers comments and reply is really cool too. Keep up the great work 🤙

This is exactly how I started and it’s worked out great!
There is no one I would rather get this info from than Westin Smith himself! The dude is thorough and very informative. Knows what's he's talkin bout. The Googan videos are always KILLER! Nice job brother! I'm thinkin bout goin with the Hero7 Black (seems to b the best in my price range) and start filming my catches. Caught 6 today with some good strikes, crazy mishaps, and great fights and was so mad that I havent gotten a Gopro yet. Haha any thoughts on the Hero7 Black?

Awesome video! I’m definitely trying to do a budget camera, because I usually end up getting into something and usually never stay with it. Before the video I was thinking hero 7 but I might even do an older model!
Excellent info! I've had my channel for a few months, and I've already tried a bunch of stuff. Minimal gear is definitely better than lugging a bunch of stuff everywhere. Also, i prefer to be wireless as much as possible. Fewer things to snag on.
Thank you for the upload! Very helpful advice as I attempt to create a channel.
Great video man, very helpful. Thank you bro. Also by the way your austin vids were great. I live there and am skeptical when anyone films there but yours did austin justice. God bless

Thank you for the video! Going to subscribe because of it! Quick question, do you film just none stop or do you do something like loop mode? Is there a way to break up a full like 8+ hour day of fishing with maybe only like 5-10 catches and a lot of less exciting stuff in between? I have not tried any filming/editing yet and the thought of going through 8 hours of footage (or 16 with 2 cameras rolling 😳) to make a 15 minute video sounds awful 🤣
@anthonyparrinello6562

I am beginning myself - just ordered the hero10 and it has a "hindsight" feature that allows you to see the 30sec before you hit record button, because it is constantly recording and dumping to give you the 30sec before the button is pressed. This way you still capture hookset and can save battery and tons of space/time without filling a card with the stuff you would trim out anyway.
Number one 🤘🏻🤘🏻

when fishing with the chest mount, should i just record lets say a whole 4 hour fishing trip all in one clip? idk it seems weird to record a several hour clip. thanks!
Great job, as a filmer I back this. Only thing I would suggest is using class 10 sd cards or micro sd. Westin your killing, keep up the great work.

Westin Smith import quality when filming in 4k is the biggest reason.
hahaha.... why does everything fun take so much chit. My house if full of hunting, shooting, fishing, guitar, Kayak, computer chit. I'm thinking about moving just because I got so much chit. lol. Thanks for the vid.
Good info
Any experience with the Hero 9 and or 10 down for fishing? I hear all the issues related to overheating and it's got me nervous, but I'd like the front screen if I'm gonna upgrade from my 7 Silver. I run off a battery pack so the other key feature I'm gaining is the loop function. Apparently people wised up that the old Black models are still popular because prices seem to have gone way up, otherwise I'd probably just buy one of those.
I would love to shoot in 4k, but my computer can't handle it while editing. Man, I need to get a nice apple desktop! Thanks for the tutorial!
Great video...I'm going to stuntman strap and finding a much better angle...no more hands and reel in the video.
Do you need a lcd screen or do you just recommend it
So do you have any tips for managing filming or do you just turn it on and let it run?
