I've got something that I'm pretty excited. Now, here's the. Here's the fun
part. So, that's just... This is just out part of the way. I've got something that
I'm pretty excited to try this morning. It's going to be fun. So, I use this GoPro
Hero session 4. It's an older and I'm going to be getting the new one soon.
I'm actually going to get the hero 6 black. But I just attached it right there.
It's really solid and when the bike shakes, the camera shakes. This has a
great mic but when it's attached to the bike like that, it picks up the *urrrrr*. That's
not what it sounds like. But it picks up the the sound of the the ground rolling
over every little bump. I'm going to take this digital recorder, this lav mic.
You're going to have pinned to my shirt so that I can have a lot better audio for
when I talk. Now, here's the fun part. So, I have a selfie stick and
I've taken some nifty velcro straps and attached this selfie stick. It's got a
big long arm. Let me extend it here. So, this is just out part of the
way. I'd say that's about half way. And then the other thing that I'm going to try
is I have this, all these these straps to go around my waist and over my shoulders
to mount the GoPro to my chest. Otherwise, it's all either just on the front of my
bike pointing forward and you don't see anything but the trail. Which that's a
nice shot. But if that's all you get there's not much variety. And will make a
cool epic mountain biking video to test out. Especially the one that I'm most
excited to test. This is wearing a selfie stick mounted to my head. So, I'm
here. This is one of my most favorite places in the entire world. I'm here at
the Timpooneke trailhead. So, that... That mountain that you see up
there. Not that peak but further back and much higher than that peak. That is mount
Timpanogos. Let's get the bike off the car and get going shall we?
Alright. So, the ideal way to do this is to have multiple cameras. So, I could have
one there, one aiming forward or probably the one on my chest here. And then you
can switch back and forth between the cameras. So, having a stop.
I'm gonna cut over this way.
So, now I'll turn around and normally I put it right there.
It was my first time trying to chest mount here.
Mic. Might make this audio not very usable.
Okay. Going to try switch back now. So, this does...
When I extend it out, it's actually having this mounted on my head. Like, my
selfie stick and the Go Pro. It's actually not heavy at all. It don't really notice that it's there.
Nice to have like a counterweight. Pulling it back. I have a bungee cord
back at my car that probably attached to my bag or something pulling back on my
head but that would be... A weight would be easier or better than I wouldn't have to
keep my head in a certain tilter angle.
Extend it out further. See how much of a pain it is. So, I really have to tilt my
head way back. Because it wants to drag my head all the way down. Maybe I can put it way
down
Now, I'm going to try give my head a rest here. I'm going to try mounting it right here.
Let's see if my team has to flip it. Don't have to flip it or is this... So,
either put yes flip or no flip needed.
But I really do like having the helmet cam. If the view is cool right here,
this close to me, it's actually not too bad. It doesn't pull down on my helmet
that bad. And I can prop it up and it sits up. But if I extend it out all the
way, a little bit in between there. And I bet if I pull tighten up these back
straps on my helmet a bit more, it's right now they're loose.
That would probably. Switch back and forth forwards backwards and have that
edited and post. Like this. So, I think at least 2
cameras would be nice. Part of the reason I'm out here mountain biking, because I really love mountain
biking. Second is I wanted to test out selfie stick strapped to my helmet to
see how this would work. Third reason and today the most important reason. I've
actually got a lot of two things. I'm doing some decision-making. I've got
some exciting plans for a business and and then my Limitless TV, YouTube channel. As well
as
I'm reading a book. And actually just getting started. Good area where I can sit.
There's a campground down there. See if I turn around backwards, you can see over
there. Let's go check it out.
I've got another lesson I just learned. I actually packed up my DSLR camera and my
gorilla pod. And I was just getting it set up but I left it turned on in my bag
and the batteries drained and I didn't bring spare. So, there's enough
another lesson learned. I meant to bring a spare for the camera and I meant to
bring my... Well, and to bring my Powerbank for my phone, so that if I'm up here for
a long time, that I would have all the power I needed. But time to get some work
done. Okay, got some good work done. I got a
camera up there. Just experimenting, trying new things. So I can extend it out and aim it myself.
I know it looks real goofy. Yeah. Were you taking a picture? I'm just making a video
about my bike ride. Yeah. That's right. Well, one time I had it extended out and
I turned my head and there was a tree and like, "oh." We got to be careful. Alright
have fun. Okay, one last shot from my helmet cam. I'm real excited to see
how this footage turns out. And remember to subscribe. If you enjoyed this video,
I'd love to hear feedback from you about the parts that you like. Things that you
didn't like, what you recommend as far as what camera. How many cameras.
And I'll talk to you next time.
