      Yeah…. And you don’t know until you try. Oddly the only reason I bought them was for the slim triple charger to pack with me. Wish GoPro would get away from their blocky brick.

      @@SaltyBeard_Adventures I have the GoPro hero 7 & iphone 11 too. Just curious, do you like to shoot in 4K for your biking videos? Or 1080 HD? And wow… your fixed gear backpacking bike hit 44 miles per hr on that downhill! 😳 🚴

    • @SaltyBeard_Adventures
      @SaltyBeard_Adventures  2 роки тому +1

      @@Regantdarcy /. Yeah, I was reviewing my ride data and was a little surprised. Earlier in that video just prior to me riding up to that large logging truck, I hit 65 km/h (40 mph) ripping down to sea level. While I was always shoot in 4K/60, it was a big decision to start editing in a 4K timeline. Due to computer/storage limitations, I didn't start doing 4K right away. In reality there is lots I could shoot at 30fps, however, I like the flexibility to do some speed ramping, or 50% slow motion. Before trips, I dump everything I can off my phone, so I have about 100GB of storage free. I will periodically trim/delete some footage along the way. In a pinch, I have a lightning to SD dongle for my phone so I can dump files to a 128GB SD card. It's a pretty slow process. On trips I always carry 4 MicroSD cards for my GoPro, and 2 for my drone. Plus an extra 128GB SD for emergency phone dump. I "just" bought a new camera, and have to now look at storage needs while on trips all over again. I will probably get an SSD with build-in card reader to dump the camera... or just buy more cards. I may keep my trip videos at 4K, and start to produce how-to-videos at 1080. Unsure on this right now. Each of my 4K episodes end up about 6G once rendered out. Rule of thumb is to set your bitrate 2x your FPS. But the way UA-cam re/compresses, you need to run even higher for best quality. So, I'm cranking files out at 80,000 bit rate. If you're interested in these output settings, I know of great video that dives into science of this, specifically for UA-camrs.

    Such beauty. The other day I noticed that it had been a while since I saw your updates. Then this dropped and I realized that I had completely missed episode 9. So this evening I got a double dose of the beauty. Oh, and I turned on notifications which is something I rarely do. I don't want to miss your next one.

      @@JakebMiller I got some NEEWER 1500 mAh batteries. They seemed to work find at first, but it wasn't long before I had the fabled "audio only clips" ... then unexplained reboots, and completely frozen GoPro. When I started researching this, everyone said it aftermarket batteries are to blame, so I started monitoring my problems. I have never had any issues, while running a GoPro Battery. I ask Santa for a few GoPro batteries in my stocking every year now :)

    Again with the rain! Your wet tolerance amazes and inspires me. But there IS no sight like steam rising off of a road in the sun. Brings one hope. I like those Raceface shorts - where did you get them?

      @@jimmccorison Jim, yeah it looks like they've discontinued the Ardent Shorts (bummer), but the Conspiracy shorts also look pretty good. I'm not sure how much muck the snow cuffs were keeping out, but they also kept out the "cold drafts" - if you get my drift. LOL. They also come in pant too. Endura & Gore make some wonderful winter type waterproof shorts worth checking out.
