I would definitely love to see a video on how you do your camera settings. I typically currently use my iPhone as well as an Insta360 X3. But for this year, I want to upgrade my camera to one that will pair with my motorcycle headset. And my X3 will not do that. I have to either go to the X4 or the camera that you were featuring in this video. I do not have any videography background. I’m just a motorcycle technician and an avid rider that decided to start recording my life working all the motorcycle rallies across the country. I think I’ve done well so far, but I would definitely like to take it to another level

You nailed it! Bad audio has sent me down the rabbit hole of microphones and adapters. 24 fps, ND filters are amazing! I do like stabilization. When the horizon stays level and the bike can be seen moving around I really get the feeling I’m riding. My brain levels the horizon but not when it’s presented on a screen. I have a bunch of cameras already but this is the first one that has tempted me in a long time.

Yes, please share your settings. Full list of everything needed would be good too.

You had me at pair with bluetooth headset

Adding my vote for you you make a video of your camera settings. Great video. Thanks for all you do.

A video on your camera settings would be nice, for sure!
Like we're "haulin' the mail." Love that! I'm a retired mail carrier. Cheers from Kelowna, British Columbia.

I’ve had a GoPro hero 7 silver audio was not great not horrible either but my GoPro max has great audio with its on board filters. As a musician whenever recording on something with a condenser mic it was necessary to put a piece of tape or a pillow yea a pillow over the mic. The 40db of sound pressure would overwhelm the mics distorting the sound horribly. All that said my main riding buddy just bought one of these and the sound quality is exceptional.

Yet another school day Dave. I've thought about fitting an action camera to my bike but have never known what the best one was. Now I'm a little bit more advised, thank you. Let's see where we get too. Stay safe and ride well. 🤓 🏍️

I think I got more out if this video about videos than I have from your mc videos. It makes me want to get this camera and get to it and I never wanted to vlog before. It feels like video instructing may be your true calling.

This was the review I was looking for, I've been waffling for months about getting another camera, after finally getting rid of my GoPros.

[FlatBrokeAdventures]

I've just bought the Ace Pro 2 and the X4 for motorcycle blogging but I haven't had the chance to use them yet. Yes please show us your tricks. I'm looking at getting a Cardo unit once my bank recovers.

My GoPro shoots a 177 degree field of view, if you want the widest view possible, shoot and upload in 4k to get the vp9 codec that big channels automatically get, no matter the camera it will look good

I quite like Insta360. I've been using 2 Insta360 One R cameras for helmet cam and headcam(install footage), for years.
I quite like them and havent found much of a reason to replace them yet. Though that wind noise thing is kinda huge.
That said I disagree with recording at 24 and 30. I always record at 60, and would record at higher FPS if the camera would let me. I record at 2.7K because I dont need 4K files. But what I do need is to be able to capture license plates and other recognizable details, human identifiable details. And the more frames you have the more likely you will get a still that can let you read and see that stuff. I can always turn the frame rate down to 30 in the video editor.
I value being able to cap details, just for the sake of insurance. That's why I run a camera in the first place. If someone hits me I want the footage. Providing riding footage is it's 2ndary task.

Thank you! This is the last encouragement I needed. On my way to a store.

2:40 facts facts facts!!! ALOT of people don't know that. We can struggle through a video that was taken by a potato, but if the audio is screeching and terrible, we'll turn it off.

[correykeen]

It would be great to see what settings you use and tips you have. I have no desire to be a moto vloger, but I do upload videos to YT for family and friends to watch so they can see the beautiful scenery here in Japan. Mostly, I record video to use as an after action report so I can see what I did well and where I can improve. The better the video, the better the AAR.

9:35 actually wider aperture gives you worst depth of field (dof is the portion of the frame which is in focus, the wider the aperture the shallower the focus plane).
Otherwise great video! I love seeing the Multistrada v4 Pikes Peak on video since mine is in the garage at least until march 😢

P.s. do share your video settings please! Looking forward to compare them

[rolfbiber]

Good video is good audio! You speak it all out what made me crazy about making videos. Sound, it‘s natural sound. Thanks a lot for that video.
…. ehhmmmm, you won‘t believe it, our national Swiss TV News channel uses cheap mics and put those to the worst places at speakers dresses. What a mess, selling news in bad audio quality.

Is the media port waterproof. I.e. can i use it in the rain. I'm missin the water proof way of connecting USBC.some cameras had usbc cable witha special rubber square that was pushed to the camera body with the protective frame. I use it not to change the battery several times a day which makes it less hustle for me than cuttibg what i want from all day recording

[johnsaporta]

Fascinating stuff. What is shutter speed on an action camera?
