Don't you guys love how every GoPro clip ever starts off with somebody going like it's like
a super flattering angle just like is this thing working? like we look like cavemen now we have a
front-facing display so i know exactly what the camera is doing so that is nice let me go ahead
and just throw all the specs up in the sky so i don't have to go oh, 5.3k at 60 frames per second
everything's basically doubled all right GoPro seems to be all about making the most powerful
action cameras that they can pack into this little body we have a GP2 processor which gives us more
power more frame rates better quality and all the other stuff that a better processor does i
guess but the processor hasn't been updated since the Hero 6. so this has been a long time coming i
love that we have great 240 frames per second so let's go ahead and start off by testing that off
having 240 frames per second at 2.7 k is awesome even if you ramp up the speed it still looks
pretty good because it's 2.7 k and you can just pick out your favorite moments and slow that
way down if you think about it it actually has better frame rates than the a7S so the amount of
power that they're packing into this little camera really impressive now looking at the body itself
it's pretty much identical to the previous Hero 9 except for the blue logo and markings on the
side but that's pretty cool because that means a lot of the accessories including
battery cover the lens they all fit with each other they also make a nice little update to the
lens cover by making it more scratch resistant and also hydrophobic so if you're filming in the water
or water gets splashed onto the lens instead of it blobbing onto your lens and blurring out your
image is gonna wick it off now if you own the Hero 9 that's good news because you can go ahead and
take this updated cover and attach it to your 9 so you kind of get a little upgrade there now this
is the media mod i bought for the Hero 9 but good news since we're still dealing with the same size
camera it works just fine they say pretty much every accessory for the 9 should work with the 10.
now this media mod is awesome because it has that 3.5 mil input so i can attach this external
mic only thing is when i have this dead cat up here it does dip into the frame pretty regularly
but good thing is we have another cold shoe on this media mod right here on the side so i can
throw it on there and that gives me a little bit more space but it still does dip into frame pretty
regularly so i either have to give this dead cat a little trim or build in some sort of way
to angle this cold shoe or maybe a spacer but here we go a little ultra compact vlog setup so
let's go and take this out for a little spin hey Dylan what is that sound do you hear it
it's beautiful it's almost as beautiful as music from our sponsor Epidemic Sound
is that corny? Epidemic Sound is a service that i've been using since pretty much the beginning of
this youtube channel huge selection of really high quality music and with an account or subscription
you can use as many of their songs as you want so all the music in this video is from their library
but Dylan what are your thoughts on Epidemic Sound? they say a picture is worth a thousand
words this being a video that's like more than a thousand right but you know it's more than a
thousand also Epidemic Sound's library of over 30 000 music tracks from world-class composers
bands and artists with new tracks being added every week why do you always talk like that
whenever we do a sponsorship segment like you know you can just say like a normal person
right normal? another word for normal is average which is the exact opposite of Epidemic Sound
what they are is extraordinary Epidemic Sound has over 90 000 sound effects perfect for
anything you're ever thinking and things that even your unconscious hasn't even thought of
yet so for example if i wanted to express the lonely feeling i have when i have a great idea
and Gene just says it's bad i can get the kind of windy kind of howl that i feel in my soul
just like that or a punch sound effect no you reacted too early but but my punch form was
perfect oh look who's facetiming me right now hi Matti i'm filming right now and you just happened
to call yeah did you get a boat too? a boat oh my gosh you're missing out you got a boat they sent
me this selfie stick and i thought this was pretty cool but you got a boat Matti thinks he's so
cool because of his rc but i'll show him cool oh snap you know what this this will work just fine
let's pause here and let me show you my timeline real quick because this is pretty cool you'll
see that i use some typing sound effects which i didn't actually record i caught it off epidemic
because i'm lazy and they have like a million different versions of the typing and the clicking
but you'll notice that these four layers here they're four separate tracks and that's because
with Epidemic Sound you can download the full song or you can download the stems which is
each instrument separated so we have the drums the bass the instruments and the melody and you
can separate them and even though i'm cutting into this song halfway in i want it to sound like it's
the beginning of the song naturally so i fade in each instrument at different times so i get
a lot of control by having the stems and let's say you're editing this really epic montage but
you want to cut away to some dialogue real quick or tone it down we can just dip out a few
instruments and make it seem really simple huge fan of Epidemic for always providing us
with those stems so we have full control of the music i'm gonna throw a link down there in the
description which will give you a completely free trial so you can try them out and see for yourself
and let's get back to it all right we have made it to Catalina Island and we're riding bikes which
is why i'm wearing this goofy looking helmet but hey as Kari would say safety is sexy right
does it look awesome in 5.3k i also have the media mod on here which doesn't really
affect the image quality but i do have the Rode Wireless Go 2 on here so i have my microphone
over here and Kari's also got her microphone i'm not pointing at my boob i'm pointing at the mic
exactly it's kind of nice not having to worry about distance i could be like hey Kari what do
you think about rabbits and she can answer from all the way over there they're so fluffy and cute
and also when it comes to color the 9 gave us the GoPro flat option and GoPro color but this
one has three modes there's the flat version and then there is the natural option and then finally
there's the vibrant option isn't it kind of nice that you could actually see yourself with that
little screen up front yeah that's new the other ones don't have that? well it started with the
Hero 9 and now the 10 has it so it's definitely helpful and it's actually a decent enough
size screen where i can really monitor the framing i know my composition's good i know
Kari's in the background i could see if i'm still in the background so i can like weasel my way out
the frame get out of there no you're not losing this by the way this is Catalina Island it's a
little island right off of Los Angeles it's about an hour of a boat ride out here
i want to go to the Catalina wine mixer the wine mixer oh my god this would be the worst
cliff to fall off of look at all that cactus it'd be really painful on the way down just
do you think there's a house over there here maybe since you're 5.3k just digitally zoom in i think
that's just the zip line oh is that a zip line yeah in case this looks too GoPro-y and not enough
dynamic range let me switch over to flat and let's see how that looks so we're gonna have to
color grade this so it doesn't look so dull but that should give me a little bit more range and i
have also noticed that GoPro tends to overexpose just a little bit so i have also set the EV Comp
to minus 0.5 so this is gonna slightly slightly darken everything so i don't clip my highlights
but yeah this is very pleasant vlogging with this camera i will say that vlogging on a GoPro is much
more pleasant than trying to do this on like an a7S i mean riding a bike like this with the a7S i
probably wouldn't really trust myself but i'm just chilling here and i'm also using the selfie stick
that GoPro sent over and this thing's actually pretty cool all right so let me go ahead and
just show you what this setup looks like so here's the camera you have your front facing display so
we can see what we're working with we've got the Rode receiver up there and the media mod
and then this is a little selfie stick that GoPro sent and this thing's pretty nifty actually it's
a little tripod down here but it has a few points and you can make it into a selfie stick
or if you have a tripod mode you could have it set at different heights so it's pretty cool i'm
actually digging this thing Kari you could even vlog with this i don't like vlogging i'm on a bike
we rented these e-bikes and they're kind of trash aren't they like we haven't been riding that much
already halfway through our battery and these brakes oh my gosh ugh my brakes are going out
it's an easy vlog setup huh yeah this is very easy especially when you just clip on the mics
like this like i feel like this is good for someone like me who's very inexperienced and
doesn't know what i'm doing with these things well what's nice about vlogging on a GoPro is you're
not worried about you know setting that exposure right you just kind of press the record button
and it generally guesses all the settings for you and although it always looks like an action
camera it still looks pretty decent couldn't you put this on one of those like one of those tiny
little gimbals? well actually you don't really need a gimbal for GoPros because the stabilization
that's built in is really good at least when it's daytime and bright like this because
you can digitally stabilize the footage when it's really bright and each frame is very crispy
but once you go into low light where every frame might be kind of blurry it doesn't look as good to
stabilize that like right now it probably looks like you're on a gimbal even though Kari's like
trying not to fall off this cliff and riding this bicycle one-handed i'm gonna go ahead and
shoot this completely unstabilized so i can run it through ReelSteady which is the aftermarket
plug-in to get the best stabilization and that's gonna give me the buttery smooth floating like
footage now GoPro says with the new GP2 processor we're able to get cleaner low lights and i have
actually noticed some improvements especially in some of the dark areas of the frame seems like a
little bit less noise jumping around in there and some parts do seem a little bit brighter
it's nothing significant but with action cameras always being so bad in low light any improvement
i will take also shout out to this company 3 Footed Monster they sent me this mount
for this GoPro and at first i thought nothing special it's just another suction mount but turns
out it's magnetic and it's a pretty strong magnet and you can also see that there's springs on here
that really help absorb vibrations i guess they developed this to put on race cars but it's also
rubbery so it's not gonna scratch up the paint they also give me a bigger one too that i can
use for something like this a7S but pretty cool i thought the idea and concept was pretty cool
thought i'd share but before i give the official thumbs up to this magnetic mount i figured i'll
try to shake it off the Tesla and if it does fly off then i will retract the recommendation and
probably cry because this GoPro Hero 10 that's on there's like $500 that's a pretty expensive camera
compared to the other ones but if you do get the GoPro subscription thingy then you can get it at
$399 so i think i could take this thing put it in track mode and let's go into drift mode
i'm not going to be able to shake this thing off and this is the model 3 performance and i can
floor it and it's not even going to come close to getting loose so good job 3 Footed Monster
they also sent us some Vegmite or Vegemite i don't know how you pronounce it but apparently it's some
Australian paste thing that they eat over there so they sent some over for us to try apparently a lot
of Americans think it's kind of nasty but we are also funding another project for the potato farm
Dylan who's it going to be this time this is for Brian from Miami so Brian wants to
make a short nature film about the Everglades so once he's finished he wants to donate his film
to local environmental groups for publicity so congratulations funding coming your way if you
have an idea to pitch us let us know form down there in the description this is kind of a nice
way to vlog isn't it it's like it's super chill you know i don't even have to hold the camera
we're just driving can you imagine if they did like a podcast like this we were stuck in traffic
it's like yeah for an hour-long podcast it's just people that are micced up and you got like
cameras outside there's a few people that have done that well there's like the getting coffee
in cars well even one EDM DJ did that is it like Deadmau5 but hey i could see why this is appealing
because it's just chill you know vlogging we're always like we gotta go to this cool place and
hold this camera and everyone looks at us like we're crazy but you know this is pretty chill
oh shoot i need to get a thumbnail so i should probably pull over and let's snap some real quick
i'm pretending to press buttons now some of you've been asking about how our renovations been going
and we have ourselves a kitchen now look we got the sink from IKEA it was like a hundred bucks and
you know it works we can wash dishes here we are still using our beer pong table for the counters
but we'll eventually get there but apparently this is the stuff right here what it's just
super flavorful or something it's flavored full of something it's not spicy right no it's not
it's just like what extra flavorful how bad could it be right that's famous last words cheers cheers
clearly i was missing out oh gosh it started off almost like a stick of butter
and then it had this like really weird smell to it and then i just couldn't do it oh yeah yeah
you know what we need to do is like take this and put it inside like a chocolate muffin or
something got a chocolate cupcake for you but anyways that's i think the next video
we're making is about these Rode wireless Go 2 this thing's actually pretty awesome i have
ran into a few issues with it and i'll kind of go over all that in the next video but if
you have questions about this let me know in the comments and we will see you on the next one later
