clicked on this video for the sound of your s1000... simply unbelievable especially when you fly up through the gears. love all your videos, all the best from Australiana
Would really appreciate a side by side comparison, but right off the bat the image quality and more importantly image stabilization really smooths out the shot. I was already buying one, but this certainly reaffirms my beliefs that it's a must for motovloggers :) thanks RJ!
1080p is 1080p and UA-cam encoding will always be the weak link. 4k video still looks better when 1080p is selected than videos uploaded at 1080p. I would be interested in the side by side comparison.
The video quality isn't what GoPro changed, it's the feature upgrade and the fact the Hero 5 is waterproof without a special housing. If you already have a Hero 4 and you don't need the top new features (voice control, touch screen, and waterproof to 30 meters) then you probably shouldn't upgrade. There are several side-by-side comparisons already on UA-cam that shows the quality and sharpness of the 4 and 5 are virtually the same.
Yeah, I noticed the typo after I posted but it doesn't make that much of a difference. A "downgrade"? I think not, since it's the first one to be waterproof to any depth. You can still buy a waterproof housing to take it deeper for divers. But like you say, it's a very small amount of the actual market that will be taking it below 30'....as long as mine can shoot in a rain storm I'm happy as pie!
I get your point but I havent seen anything about a housing for it, I tried searching and have not seen anything indicating a housing for it, And since its bulkier than the hero 4 I don't think it will fit in the old housing.. Thats why im saying when it comes to deep diving 10meters and that would be it. BUT if there is in fact a housing well I take back what I said.
Just have to go to the GoPro website and it's pretty simple to locate. :) shop.gopro.com/accessories-2/super-suit-%C3%BCber-protection-plus-dive-housing-for-hero5-black/AADIV-001.html
Hey RJ, question. What makes pick the KTM over the BMW and vice versa when you leave the house? I want a supernaked and I found a smoking deal on a '15 1290 R in black, just like yours. From the reviews and also what you said, it's just simply outstandingly comfortable which is very important to me as I'm 6'0 tall. I see you filter a lot, is it an easy bike to manoeuvre at low speed? It looks bulky but you handle it very well. Thanks!
Would be interesting to see a test of the Sony X3000 from you. It has an interesting lens shifting technology that gives a very good stabilising effect. should also have a better sound too, but at high speeds no action camera is going to perform well
i like the fact that it dont need water proof housing any more and it has replaceable battery BUT With three microphones on the camera you would at least think it would be able to handle wind noise...
watching rj's videos I've always thought his bikes sound extra loud. I partly assumed it was because of the mic he uses but I can tell by the looks he gets from the crowd at 3:30 that yes, they really are that loud.
I'd say the main improvement with this camera is purely user convenience. Camera itself and quality seem to be identical to the Hero 4. Question is, is it worth upgrading just to eliminate the need for a case and a few other ergonomic improvements?
It's the added features they changed, not the video quality. GoPro made this very clear during their product launch event. I wish they had improved the quality as well, but it appears there wasn't much they could do and keep the price where it is. For my use, the simple fact that it's waterproof to 30meters without a bulky housing is enough to upgrade. When you add the fact it has voice control and a touch screen now......it's a no-brainer for me.
The real big difference is that the 5 black can do 4k30 fps and 1080p 120 fps. But that isnt meant for RJ because that take's up massive amounts of storage and 60fps into slomotion is enough for him. For that 5 second clip in every 10 video's RJ doesnt need super slomo.
I wasn't expecting great sound from the GoPro recording itself, but I was hoping that the new and improved microphones would make I sound a bit better than that.
Looks good... can't tell if it's really a ton better than the Hero4 because the hero4 was pretty good in bright daylight too... have you done a side-by-side? Love the burble of the Beemer... don't love the traffic you were in (that looks pretty terrible to me).
You should check some other vid's he did with a trained falcon he owns, carrying a GoPro, and following him over London. No need of drones !! RJ comes from the most famous lineage of falconers in Jordan. ; ))
Friend of mine was doing 50km/h when a car changed lanes in front of him by like 5 metres, he couldn't stop in time and went straight into and over the front of their car, he luckily landed in the middle of the road on a grassed medium strip that probably saved his life, i was riding with him at the time but i got held up at a set of lights and was about 3 cars back so i didn't see it but i heard it. Just lucky i wasn't behind him because my impact on top of his could have killed him, he was lucky that he was also riding a sports bike so he basically got launched off it, if it was a cruiser or touring bike he would of stayed on the bike and took the full impact force.
Ralph Anthony Oh i forgot to say he was totally ok after a couple months, broken leg in two places and some bruising, we think his leg hit the car as he was launched from the bike.
Ed, your photo leads us to believe you're more of a Snowcat fan :P yet your knowledge on all things RJ begs to differ! Thanks for the info & your helpful comment replies! If there's a viewer engagement ranking on RJ's channel - I imagine you'd be on the top.
It's better quality video but feels more offset than with your usual setup, might be because wider FOV. Have you tried chinmounting a gopro for centered videos?
RJ do you take the Mrs RJ on the back very often when you are home? my ol lady is always wanting to go for a ride but the extra weight and stopping distance and less manuverable always is in the back of my head worrying me lol
Oh yes I noticed her back there in those videos that's why the question came to mind. Hope your neck is ok! Geez laweez it looked like you tookk a shot from Muhammad Ali, but like a champ lol
hey im 209cm tall and would like to get my first 1000CC bike or more. My previous bike was KTM 690 duke. Id like a quite tall bike in height and wondering if the ktm 1290duke is good of the BMW S1000 . KTM is taller i know. any other recommmandations ?
hey there RJ, do think this is worth it or is there even any difference ? caus i cant really tell gopro just brings out so many products but no big improvements, i'd prefer to wait longer but get a better product ...
RJ,how is your shifting so smooth? you literally apply a little throttle and the engine shifts gears like its an auto matic,could it be the quickshifter you use or BMW's gearbox are one of the best in the world
Have you tried recording at higher resolutions than 1080p? I have read that if you record at a higher resolution and let youtube compress it to 1080p it will look better than if you record at 1080p and let youtube compress it. Might be a pain if you have a slow pc though.
RoyalJordanian the exhaust notes on this BMW as well as your Nuda 900r sound amazing, please how do you select your exhausts to get this wonderful note based on its engine.
Masterdome hes got a recorder in his pocket. I personally run a mic from the gopro (with a micro usb to a 3.5mm hp jack) which sits right up my jacket. Mine is easier to control and also no editing required however his set up is much simpler
If I can stick the mic adapter against my helmet (with velcro or some sort) I wouldn't really mind the adapter. However that is just personal preference. But maybe I'll buy the 4 black instead because it should drop down in price.
Significantly more bouncy than your other recent videos.Even offroad on the South African series, the video is much more stable. Is that because this is the raw video with no post production, or is the image stabilisation not as good as the one you videoed the tour with? I saw some gimbals in fleabay and I was stunned by how costly they are. ..then I saw your video with the crazy lean angles and I realised why they cost so much!
It seems like GoPro has stalled since the Hero 3+ Black, at least from your footage. It could be compression but if not, they really need to catch up in the sensor department.
If you are interested in a side by side comparison between the 4&5 on the same helmet while riding, let me know here. Will do if enough interest.
RoyalJordanian Defo!!
Yeah could be nice !
yaeh. nice
yes please
Thats the best way to know the difference imo
Thank you for providing a comparison between the sounds from the new GoPro and from your external microphone. This is really helpful.
I just love the quality of your videos. You can pause it anytime, and it's a clear picture. Thanks man.
clicked on this video for the sound of your s1000... simply unbelievable especially when you fly up through the gears. love all your videos, all the best from Australiana
Would you ever record a night ride through central london? Would love to see a daily observation with late evening clips.
Still the filtering King of all motor vloggers. Thanks for all the great videos.
Would really appreciate a side by side comparison, but right off the bat the image quality and more importantly image stabilization really smooths out the shot. I was already buying one, but this certainly reaffirms my beliefs that it's a must for motovloggers :) thanks RJ!
It'd be good to see a comparison of the 4 & 5 and at night if possible. Thanks man :)
The stabilization is "on" in this video ?
No, 10% less FOV and that's why I'll never use it.
Can you do a video with it on anyway for comparison, please?
Schaaf has done one already. Well worth a watch as he makes the CB500 dance.
Okay; thanks for the answer; good night RJ !
That's exactly what I wanted to ask right now haha, my eyes bleeding from that shaking
You should do the comparison, RJ. Congrats from Portugal!!!
1080p is 1080p and UA-cam encoding will always be the weak link. 4k video still looks better when 1080p is selected than videos uploaded at 1080p. I would be interested in the side by side comparison.
please do more of the questions videos
Congrats to 500k RJ.
You deserved it.
Greets from Germany :)
Yep that's a Gopro... Cannot tell between the old footage whatsoever
not to be rude or something, but tbh, i didnt notice a difference from the hero 4
The video quality isn't what GoPro changed, it's the feature upgrade and the fact the Hero 5 is waterproof without a special housing. If you already have a Hero 4 and you don't need the top new features (voice control, touch screen, and waterproof to 30 meters) then you probably shouldn't upgrade. There are several side-by-side comparisons already on UA-cam that shows the quality and sharpness of the 4 and 5 are virtually the same.
Its actually water proof to only 10m (30feet) which is a massive downgrade for deep divers. But thats obviously a small niche.
Yeah, I noticed the typo after I posted but it doesn't make that much of a difference. A "downgrade"? I think not, since it's the first one to be waterproof to any depth.

Could you do a 4K test as well
Hey RJ, question. What makes pick the KTM over the BMW and vice versa when you leave the house? I want a supernaked and I found a smoking deal on a '15 1290 R in black, just like yours.

I see you filter a lot, is it an easy bike to manoeuvre at low speed? It looks bulky but you handle it very well. Thanks!
Two completely different bikes, only you can answer that by trying them out.
I would like to see hero 5 session
The over run sounds so nice.
Looks exactly like your previous videos. I see no noticeable differences.
Please do a comparison between 4 & 5.
Answered my biggest question, how does it handle the wind thank you!
awesome video and your exhaust sounds amazing, love the pops
Would be interesting to see a test of the Sony X3000 from you. It has an interesting lens shifting technology that gives a very good stabilising effect.
should also have a better sound too, but at high speeds no action camera is going to perform well

and it has replaceable battery BUT
With three microphones on the camera you would at least think it would be able to handle wind noise...
Would love to see RJ do track day
And a really big congratulation to 500k subs!!
a comparison would be good, can see a bit of a difference
watching rj's videos I've always thought his bikes sound extra loud. I partly assumed it was because of the mic he uses but I can tell by the looks he gets from the crowd at 3:30 that yes, they really are that loud.
Nice vid 👍 out of the 2 which do you prefer the 4 black or the 5
as it doesn't look like there is much between them in terms vid quality
Can't see any difference between the 4?
I think your previous camera was just perfect and can't see any improvement. Greatly enjoy your Vids.
The image is more grainy.
I'd say the main improvement with this camera is purely user convenience. Camera itself and quality seem to be identical to the Hero 4. Question is, is it worth upgrading just to eliminate the need for a case and a few other ergonomic improvements?
Looking good RJ! I have one on order👍
There is no huge difference.. i could even say that there is no difference between GP4 and GP5
It's the added features they changed, not the video quality. GoPro made this very clear during their product launch event. I wish they had improved the quality as well, but it appears there wasn't much they could do and keep the price where it is. For my use, the simple fact that it's waterproof to 30meters without a bulky housing is enough to upgrade.

riding your bike - better than any medications. like you said - it's our medicine. enjoy the freedom!
I wasn't expecting great sound from the GoPro recording itself, but I was hoping that the new and improved microphones would make I sound a bit better than that.
Looks good... can't tell if it's really a ton better than the Hero4 because the hero4 was pretty good in bright daylight too... have you done a side-by-side? Love the burble of the Beemer... don't love the traffic you were in (that looks pretty terrible to me).
I think UA-cam compression settings are partly to blame here.
RJ, have you ever thought of getting DRONE shots??? I think it would look so nice.
You should check some other vid's he did with a trained falcon he owns, carrying a GoPro, and following him over London. No need of drones !!
RJ comes from the most famous lineage of falconers in Jordan. ; ))
If you like drone captures, watch Casey Neistat's vlogs. I don't see any added value for RJ though.
mrirurfkjsdo oh really? wow. Im also a famous falconer. Yeh we hang out daily.
@RoyalJordanian Why do you always take out the baffle? Doesn't the bike get to loud that way?
What's the worst motorbike accident/incident you can recall ?
Many thanks and support!

Man, I love your exhaust. Greetings from Brazil
Can u do a video of braking on a bike? Thanks!
how did you combat the wind noise, think you mentioned it in a video but forgot which one
+Ed van Andel thank you for that ;-)
my internet only allows me to watch at 360p so yea no difference haha
I feel with you bro:D
we feel u (L)
XD
i feel u bro😿
no te pierdes nada la verdad
Looks like a fun, quick, bike!
RJ do you take the Mrs RJ on the back very often when you are home? my ol lady is always wanting to go for a ride but the extra weight and stopping distance and less manuverable always is in the back of my head worrying me lol
No, very rare in London. She spent 17 days on the back on the Africa tour though.
Oh yes I noticed her back there in those videos that's why the question came to mind. Hope your neck is ok! Geez laweez it looked like you tookk a shot from Muhammad Ali, but like a champ lol
I, as a brazilian, find the traffic in the UK kinda hard to understand. Even though it looks very well organized.
hey im 209cm tall and would like to get my first 1000CC bike or more. My previous bike was KTM 690 duke. Id like a quite tall bike in height and wondering if the ktm 1290duke is good of the BMW S1000 . KTM is taller i know. any other recommmandations ?
I was happy with the footage from the GoPro4. RJ do you see any difference? And I don't mean the user interface, because I never see that.
im not 100% sure but i think this footage on gopro 5 is just little bit smoother.. ?
Hi there :) Have you ever tried Sony cams? Like fresh HDR-AS300? It has optical stabilization.
hey there RJ, do think this is worth it or is there even any difference ? caus i cant really tell gopro just brings out so many products but no big improvements, i'd prefer to wait longer but get a better product ...
Hey RJ, I'm a huge fan.I'd like to ask, how many kilometers your bikes have? especially the s1000r.
How is the maintenance in the s1000r?
RJ,how is your shifting so smooth? you literally apply a little throttle and the engine shifts gears like its an auto matic,could it be the quickshifter you use or BMW's gearbox are one of the best in the world
Does the Lens cover look replaceable if it gets cracked
you are awesome. ....iam from jordan and I like your videos....buy do you mind telling me whats your exhaust name??? pls??
how did you stop the wind noise . i had bad wind noise on mine
It is so satisfying to watch you filtering.
can you do a 2.7k 60fps upload or a 4k upload?
How have you already got a hero 5, I didn't even think it was released yet!?
Can't get enough of that exhaust noise on the s1000r
great quality and sound. amazing traffic...
nice rev matching brother , I like your 1290 more 😃
RJ, Did you use the mic in your pocket thingy in this vid? If not, then that camera is incredible.
really looks great...that sounds though.. man that bmw sounds incredible.
Have you tried recording at higher resolutions than 1080p? I have read that if you record at a higher resolution and let youtube compress it to 1080p it will look better than if you record at 1080p and let youtube compress it. Might be a pain if you have a slow pc though.
Hello, please can you tell me what kind of setting do you use on gopro5?
Hey Royal. What gloves are you wearing in this video? - Michael
you use a microphone next to the exhaust???
You need to slightly tilt the camera to the right
Damn, I thought you were going to spoil us with some 4K. :-)
RoyalJordanian the exhaust notes on this BMW as well as your Nuda 900r sound amazing, please how do you select your exhausts to get this wonderful note based on its engine.
I mix and match until I'm happy with the sound.
Your BMW is automatic?? D:
Ed van Andel But it hasn´t got clucth??
I ask because I didn't see him using it :/
Ed van Andel
is this the original exhaust on the bmw?
Akrapovic Full Titanium/Carbon Exhaust.
thanks man Snipah Chaimber
Welcome!
The price is £858.
Akrapovic Headers but Austin Racing exhaust. GP1 I think.
Hey RJ have you tried the Sony fdr-x1000 it has in camera wind reduction setting
Thanks for the reply
RJ do you recomend me to buy the akrapovic of aliexpress?
what dose the light turning red to red yellow indicate? is it proceed if the intersection is clear? In the US it just goes from red to green.
Cool, Thanks guys.
The big question. Do you like it?
it seems to me getting a good deal on the hero4 is the way to go
How good is the new Wind noise reduction?
Very little difference, plus you've gotta buy that hideous mic adapter. If you motovlog the 3+ Black or 4 Black are still better.
Masterdome hes got a recorder in his pocket. I personally run a mic from the gopro (with a micro usb to a 3.5mm hp jack) which sits right up my jacket. Mine is easier to control and also no editing required however his set up is much simpler
If I can stick the mic adapter against my helmet (with velcro or some sort) I wouldn't really mind the adapter. However that is just personal preference.
But maybe I'll buy the 4 black instead because it should drop down in price.
man..in londom you can see the world fastest cars..it is a real experience to watch them in real lifr..
Significantly more bouncy than your other recent videos.Even offroad on the South African series, the video is much more stable.

Hey RJ what kind of mirrors are those?
Can you do the 4K function?
RJ is the Gopro 5 significantly better?
Does RoyalJordanian wheelie?
I dont see any difference tbh
is there any difference in file size?
How come you dont get stopped for speeding
Could you tell me what is the model of mirror you have mounted on your S1000R ? Thanks !
Ed van Andel Thanks Ed !
Yes! It will be great
It seems like GoPro has stalled since the Hero 3+ Black, at least from your footage. It could be compression but if not, they really need to catch up in the sensor department.
The electronic image stabilization is freaking out
Felt like this one was more shaky?
Hey RJ how do you record audio in your videos?
RJ, turn the stabilization ON ! :)
RJ--why are you in such a hurry? Or do you just love the fun of filtering?
