We are experimenting ourselves with audio, thumbnails etc... we initially bought Insta Cameras which can record from the Bluetooth on your headset (which is good audio but has some down sides). On this video we just plugged in the external mic to an adapter for the cameras which allowed us to record clear audio direct to the cameras and kept the comms totally separate. Doing this was far easier on the trip and extended the comms battery life. I then had the awful task of matching the video from both cameras in premier pro. It is actually two different recorded tracks overlayed on top of each other. Hope this helps..

Many would say that when the tanks rolled in it was with plenty of justification on Russia's part. More often in the west you just cannot trust anything you hear about Russia, China, Iraq, Iran, Syria any country that threatens Western Hegemony. When I say the west I mean all of it. The MSM in all western country's are just stenographers to power. You are all being lied to on a level that is hard to believe, but believe it you must if we are to stop what is coming.

First, I hated the whispering voice. Second, sidecars are slower and can only go where cars can go, unless you've got a Ural with a powered third wheel. I want a sidecar rig because I don't really like cars and I want to be capable of carrying lots of stuff for when I move. If I return to the north, a sidecar on my motorcycle would allow me to ride in the winter months and not need to buy a car. I tried studded tires for a couple of winters. They have a speed limitation.

Enjoyed the trip. If I could add something about The war in Ukraine though. The war did not start when Russian tanks went into Ukraine. At the least it started 10 years before that. Many would say that when the tanks rolled in it was with plenty of justification on Russia's part. More often in the west you just cannot trust anything you hear about Russia, China, Iraq, Iran, Syria any country that threatens Western Hegemony. When I say the west I mean all of it. The MSM in all western country's are just stenographers to power. You are all being lied to on a level that is hard to believe, but believe it you must if we are to stop what is coming.
First, I hated the whispering voice. Second, sidecars are slower and can only go where cars can go, unless you've got a Ural with a powered third wheel. I want a sidecar rig because I don't really like cars and I want to be capable of carrying lots of stuff for when I move. If I return to the north, a sidecar on my motorcycle would allow me to ride in the winter months and not need to buy a car. I tried studded tires for a couple of winters. They have a speed limitation.
I'd love a gear up version of the ural, but they are just so expensive 😫... maybe consider poping a winch on the sidecar. This will get you out of most sticky situations.
A herd of Slags eh...... curry, Scotlands national dish... according to some, great video lads.
Thank you, we are trying lol. I'm actually astonished you made it through to those parts of the video.
