I must say, there are few cycling youtubers who share this much useful information, and with such practiced brevity and genuine charm. You've got a loyal viewer here, and I wish you nothing but success.

Love your setup. Simple but effective! I love using a recorder and syncing in post rather than dealing with wireless. Makes it so much easier at times.

[TurningStarkers]

Thanks for the great tips. Recording sound separate was the best one thanks

This video and the two that follow are absolutely excellent. It is clear to see your background in broadcasting. You are saving me a ton of time and money learning through trial and error. Thanks for sharing.

You are so generous, this is a beautiful, helpful blog, thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the detailed guide. Great job. Cool equipment you have.

[BasslimeRex]

I'd bet money that your channel is going to grow very fast. Always very well made and informative videos, and of course you have the perfect radio/presenter voice. Keep it up! Great stuff :)

I have to admit, it was the quality of your movies that made me decide to invest in cameras for my bike. Now all I have to do is find time to edit them and get rid of hours of boring monotonous views. 😝

Absolutely fascinating Simon, you put so much work into your videos and the results are stunning. The disappearing stick is something else, blimey!

We can all have the fancy gear but you need a decent voice too! You have a voice that is very engaging and can listen to all day long.

I'm new to your channel and very impressed with the content so far - thanks and keep it up.

nice video.I've picked up a few tips here.

Absolutely agree it is about the story! All to often I stop watching a video of a stunning ride not because the footage is bad. Rather it has no story, just a soundtrack! Yes those can be interesting but most aren’t. I started making some videos (just with my mobile) for “Future Mark” because I want to be able to remember some of the things I do (alone and with my kids). Hadn’t thought about the audio trick which I use with podcasts! Thanks for another great video 👌🏼 You’re the first to explain the “like and subscribe” everyone pleads for 👍🏼

Simon, thank you for all of the details that you provide on your channel, I havé throughly enjoyed and learned from them.

As a newby to video production I was delighted to see the three post on the technical aspects of production and editing.

I have purchased an Insta 360 for my upcoming work and was hoping you could provide me with the make and model of the mount that you use on “Witchcraft” portion this post?

Keep up the excellent content

Hi Simon, love your channel and approach, very informative.

[GogglesTyresandTrainers]

Thankyou, a great run through. Very informative and glad I'm doing most of that, but the insta 360 is just elven magic. Have subbed!

Very interesting, impressive, short, but informative! Seems like a lot of work, though, especially when you factor in the time it takes to edit everything. Main reason I got back into riding my bike was to escape computer related technology that has all but taken over the modern world, in this case, cameras, audio equipment, editing software, and so on. It's cool playing around with those devices and accessories, but there’s nothing like being a cycling purist – just get on your bike and ride and enjoy. Bikes are/or certainly can be comparatively free of the usual high tech "accouterments." I prefer leaving all the fussing with such gadgets for time spent at work. Still, very glad such amazing technology is available and mostly quite affordable.
