Looking forward to seeing how you get on with the new kit, enjoy the sports boat rally.
nice!.. yes I'm having trouble with wind!... the kind that comes from the sky....hahahah
Yes it's a pain 🤣
your vids are great Tommo, dont get like all the other channels trying to make it like its going to win an oscar, the more raw it is the better as long as no wind noise. i use a go pro hero 4 on my earlier vids not done alot since but will with new boat. i think waht sailing with dave said is key , learn to edit to make it better to watch , ive loved your vids so far and will keep watching
Flattery will get you everywhere 🤣
Hi Tommo. I use a range of kit largely as I have to have waterproof kit for what I do, but also because I get hold of stuff through work too. Some advice on cameras etc that I can share here;
Firstly a phone camera is hard to beat. These will definitely outstrip anything Gopro or DJI can throw at you for video quality, especially at night and I know loads of 200K sub channels still using them for general footage. A good quality phone is only really outdone by a proper camera with a much larger CCD like a Canon EOS style thing but thats getting serious!!
What an Action Cam gives you is ease of use, cost, ruggedness and also the fact you can position them in many places for better or more unusual shots, using them remotely if needed. With my DJI Action Cams, the insurance was like £30. If I drop one and lose it then I get a new one or worst case its £350. Drop your iphone and its your whole life gone!!! So for me sailing dinghies, I have to have an Action Cam. For you a phone may just be better anyway.
Maybe invest in stuff that will keep the phone safe. Hand tether, case etc. The sea and sand have a habit of destroying anything!!
I think your videos are generally fine in quality. Your phone gives you the option of 4K if you want to go there, but 4K is harder to edit, needs a better computer and takes longer to upload, takes memory too.
For me sound is more important than video quality if you're already posting decent HD. I have a cheap microphone but the sound is terrible. I ended up using the DJI MIC. These are amazing and if you use the cameras they connect to them. The newer MIC 2 doesn't even need the host unit plugged into the camera, it just uses BT. Expesnoive though at £300 although you can buy just 1 slave unit now. These make a huge difference on windy days. I should use them more, but don't. There are a lot of alternative products by Rode for example and more but I think getting the sound right is better than video right now as YT tell you it can really switch a video off for people.
You can also get 2nd hand action cams on Ebay. Maybe do that? Then you could get one on a stick or on the front of the boat and get a 2nd camera shot, experiement with it. That would make your videos more interesting? Don't buy GoPro BTW. Way, way too many issues with them and their customer support is awful. DJI Action Cams or Insta stuff are cheaper and just way better now.
Don't forget that editing makes more difference than anything. Get a decent editing software and start to learn about how to put video and music together better, but thats a whole otehr story!.
Hope that helps.
Thanks Dave. I will look into all that. At the moment I don't use any editing software other than what's on my phone.
I'm going to play with what's on this new one for a bit then look into extra software
Tommo your doing great, and love what you do, it’s took me 6 months to get anywhere in this game ⛵️🛥️🙏
Only 6 months, don't rub it in 🤣
