Anyone do a Moto vlog?

John & I want to start shooting videos of our rides to share with family and friends. We need a helmet mounted camera and I’ve heard that the Sena Prism Tube is a good choice but nobody has it in stock. I’d love to hear your experiences!

Would like to hear about your setup.

I use a Sena 10C on the side of my helmet. It is more costly than the Prism, but a good camera. It has so many features, I seldom use them all.

Here's an example video:

Thank you, Gary! I’ll look into the Sena 10c. We use the SMH-10 dual intercom and love those. Thanks again for sharing your video.

Hello,

I just started a video log of my rides up here in Canada, Kingston Ontario area to be exact and am finding out how time consuming it can be. Currently I am using my old GoPro 3 Silver edition and a Asako EK7000 4K camera but I am having a difficult time trying to figure out what video editing software to use. Any suggestions?

Take care,
Mark Gadbois

Google Shaun Smoak. He's a motorcycle tech up in Oregon/Washington. Great guy who does a lot of video vlogs and seems to know a lot about equipment. He's very approachable, I wouldn't hesitate reaching out to him about tips and tricks

Advice good on both Shawn S and Sena. Those are two very good go too's for starters.

Videos about rides and sharing them with the rest of us are always welcome. :yes:

I watch Shawn Smoak while I do my physical therapy. Makes the time go by quicker. https://www.youtube.com/user/fzrsmkr

I'm a viewer, not a video maker. I have one tip from the viewer point of view, and I don't know how to accomplish it safely. When riding a motorcycle your head is supposed to be on a swivel at all times. It's called situational awareness. But doing that also makes for nauseating video viewing. Watch Smoak ride, you'll see him scan left and right occasionally. Watch others and it's like riding a roller coaster. Not sure if it's his camera setup or just how he's learned to ride while filming.

Watch Smoak and a couple of others, see what matches what you want to see. I'm kind of a data junkie, so videos that don't include the dashboard so I can see speed and tach don't interest me as much. Smoak has a pretty good setup as far as POV, kind of like you're actually in the driver position.

Martin (MartinTheVlogger) riding in Serbia and Europe also has an interesting setup. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ-v2UUHYZwJItBKLk9jg7g He has multiple cameras set up but the one on the tripod above and behind him provides an interesting view. With the vibrations in the camera, it almost looks like a video game type view.
