My helmet is Scorpion Exo T1200 mainstay white with blue trim full face! I got a GoPro hero5 black, my mic purple panda and I use Ulanzi hold the video camera to my helmet and with transmitted audio all together! I also got steel Mate H3 lights mount back my helmet make sure people see me day and night! Mrs. Jess
Been looking at the insta 360 cameras and i now you tried the insta rs but had issues with the quality i was wondering if you ever figured out how to make it better or you just said forget and deal with go pros. My wife and i have been thinking about recording our riding adventures and work we do to our bikes.
Please do take this as a compliment, you have been very instrumental and important in my hesitation to begin moto-vlogging. I have years of riding footage that I have collected but haven't done anything with any of it. Your transparency and frustrations in dealing with and battling the various algorithms and pressures of constant content creation along with other content creators frustrations have been an important perspective. What advice could you give in dealing with those frustrations and pressures and figuring out the algorithms so that it remains a fun thing to do. It is clearly apparent you put a lot of thought and research into these things in building your channel and the success of that work shows. It just seems though that so many get into content creation to get out of the typical rat race of life and it becomes a monster of a rat race of its own.
Unfortunately, there is no exact answer! I see creators with millions of subscribers, who have the exact same issues as creators who have 1000 subscribers. It’s just that inevitable feeling of putting your heart and soul into something you enjoy for it to not be well reciprocated in the end. UA-cam has always, and will always be an ebb and flow. The best you can do is just always focus on what brings you happiness and only create when you really want to. Hopefully the bad times go away and new people decide to come along and share the life with you online. That’s all I could ever hope for!
Super useful, thank you! The one thing I keep struggling with is audio quality out of the helmet. I have three different lav mics, tried all with deadcats and foam, tried plugging them into the gopro 7 black media mod, AND tried them with a zoom field recorder, and pretty much no matter what I do, above 40mph or so the wind noise becomes so loud that the audio starts clipping and popping and ends up being unusable. I also tried it with the mic being right in front of my mouth, with the mic being to the side, but not under the cheekpad, with the mic being under the cheekpad, to no avail. Therefore no videos yet :/ How did you figure out what setup would work for you? Did you run into this / similar problem?
Good day Mam. Just found your channel. And i just wanted to ask if you are making a decent living from these videos? Is your adsence from these videos decent enough to generate a good monthly income? I dont want to know the amount. Just curious if it will be something to concider to make some extra income monthly🙂
Great Vid thanks for sharing this. I’ve been working on my own channel for the last year and it’s not easy but I’ve had a good time doing it. I run the 256gb SDcards also. Big fan of the Adobe Suite also.
How difficult was the editing learning curve for the 360 cam? How long have you used epidemic sound & how would you compare it to the free use music from UA-cam studio audio? I've been moving my recordings off the SD and onto an external tera drive for storage.
It took me well over a year to get a hang of editing the 360º footage. I just use the insta 360 software and export it as a flat mp4, then import into premiere. And Epidemic has legit been a game changer to my videos. The youtube music didn't exist when I first started, so that's exciting to know it's there now... but I will orobably always use epidemic. Literally hundreds of thousands of songs and sounds!
Great video and i appreciate you sharing your set up. My only question is do you have a method for capturing intercom conversations? My husband and I both use Sena and i would love to add some of our conversations from our trips. I'll check out your other videos but if you have a recommendation that would be great!
Hey Jess, love the channel and thanks for putting this video together. I have a small gaming channel (this one) and I think I would like to try moto vlogging. Perhaps with a new channel or revamp this one since I no longer play the game. So, I have my setup, Hero 8 black on the chin with mic adapter and a Purple Panda mic, session 5 on the handlebars, I think I have a really decent start. I'm riding a 05 1200c Sportster. But I guess that's enough of a back story that really has nothing to do with my question, 😁 My question is that after a few test rides, everything looks and sounds great. Vocals are clear with a nice drone from the Sportster in the background and zero wind noise. Overall, I'm pleased, but I noticed that I look around way too much. I don't notice it during the ride, but it's nearly sickening to watch the playback. Literally left to right for the entire video. Watching your videos, you don't seem to have this issue. Is this the way you naturally ride, or is this learned skill? If this is something you had to overcome, do you have any tips for the wanna be vlogger? Thanks and keep up the great work.
Great video! I just bought an Akaso Brave 7LE and purchased the USB mic as well. It comes with a 4' long cable. Right now, I just have it bunched up and affixed to the inside chin portion of my helmet (HJC RS3). Is there a better way to route the cable for a cleaner look? BTW, my mouth does not hit the cable. Thanks!!
Omg girllll we have the same exact helmet !!! Same color and everything I loveeee this helmet! Highly reccomend it ! I plan to start posting videos soon! :) you inspired me !!
I think you are the first person I have ever heard mention Tube buddy, and this is the first time I have heard of it. I will look into that. I think Go Pro settings are what I struggled with the most when I first started out, and it took a lot of trial and error, and skimming through everyone else's settings. I have a great helmet rig, though still trying to work through some winter wind noise because I add a wind screen during the winter (sportster bro here). Its not horrible, just not as good as I am used to. I think my biggest struggle is I work full time, AND have a part time job, so finding time to record is hard, especially now that daylight savings has ended, and the sun has already set when I get off work. 250 ish subs in 2 months is a good start I think, I just have to keep working at it. I don't know what the average channel growth is, but I imagine persistence is the key. If you have any other suggestions towards growth, I would appreciate it. I have ideas, just not enough time. Lol
I think a good rule of thumb for growth is to publish consistently and keep the topics relevant. Publishing consistently is a free meal ticket for viewers. Think of it as, “oh hey, they publish every week. I know i will be rewarded with content if I subscribe to this channel” As for thumbnails, i use Photoshop!
@@HerTwoWheels I can probably manage every 2 weeks for now. Its not a lot, but its a start. Is there a better day to upload than others? I can TRY for every week, but schedule and daylight availability right now makes that hard.
Hi Jess, Do you have a SENA (other bluetooth comms) connected to your audio input of your GoPro to record conversations with another rider? I've watched a few videos, but other Vloggers leave out remarks or visually how they have their helmets setup. So I'm not 100% on what works. I've been hearing the SENA helmet speakers are not compatible with the GoPro. That it will only pick up either the rider or their partner in the audio. Sorry if that sounds confusing. Thanks ;)
Thank you so much for all the information provided. I been considering beginning a youtube motorcycle blog myself but had no idea how to begin. Can i begin with just a 360 camera ? Or im I probably better off with both a 360 camera and a helmet camera? Also will using two cameras make editing more difficult especially for a beginner? Once again thank you.
Jess, I love your work & your community, specially Amanda Zitto! How do you make your Thumbnails? What program & font style. I think they look great. You have inspired me alot - Thanks!
When you’re riding do you let your cameras roll continuously or do you choose choice moments to turn them on? How do you manage this so you don’t miss anything?
I was so pumped about starting a UA-cam channel. Watched a lot of videos on motovlog set ups. Including yours. Went out bought all the equipment, set it all up, recorded a few test runs and completely lost all motivation. It is so much work, and it so easy to say forget it and just go for a ride. The whole thing I think is a bit overwhelming to me, that and I hate the sound of my own voice 🤣. So how do you motivate yourself to get out and create a video?
Hey Jess, I'm starting my channel in 23, but might have to go the Lower $ route as most of the funding has gone to my 2001 Electra Glide Classic. Are there any less expensive options to GoPro?
🌟👍👍👍☀️ Cool ! the The best of the two worlds is to have them both guys ! And of course use her link as she explains it all to you ! 🗽🗽🗽 Good job Lady ! Here are: all the good solutions guys ! 👍
Hey thank you for video. I do have a question what kind of a computer do you recommend for doing videos. This video was perfect timing because I am currently looking for a new computer. Again thanks for any help.
Hi Jess, I just ordered a new laptop for esiting so disregard my previous question. New question though is how many batteries and sd cards(and size) would you recommend having for one Gopro heading out to Sturgis? Thank you!
Thank you for all this info! I am planning on getting my vids going in the spring so when I head to Sturgis 2023 for my first time I hope to create some descent vids. Question about your computer. What computer and specs of it do you use? When I did my first 3 videos (that are on my channel for you to go watch (Shameless plug, LOL) I found that my photo editing computer isn't good enough to edit video. It works fine for professional still photog but won't render video and the transitions worth a darn. Thanks in advance.
Yeah I've been wondering what kind of travel gear you use? I have an '04 Road King and only have the stock bags on it and they aren't secure or very big. I do have the driver back rest, sissy bar and luggage rack, so I have space for larger bags, I just haven't started looking yet. I recently bought the bike and it is my first long distance capable bike, so needless to say I've been spending a lot of money in the shop either making repairs or doing some comfort upgrades. I have to give the previous owner credit for keeping it looking right, but they were a bit behind on maintenance or wear items, and I would love to know what the hell they used for a gps because I can't find anything to fit the wiring or the larger ball ram mount. Sadly it was all supposed to be removed on my last service (hydraulic cam chain tensioner) and bar (12") upgrade, but they reinstalled all of it GRRR! I've probably spent just about as much on service as I did the bike itself but I love it and don't really care that much but I'm running out of money. Last thing is a good yet inexpensive full face helmet. I'm heat intolerant and mine just doesn't ventilate well enough for long duration trips. I'd love to email you and discuss all this at some point and hope to see you and the hubby out on the road some time.
I always get confuse to select a category option and right now I cant find a video that help me to understand whats the best choice. What do you recommend?
I don’t have any questions right now but if I do I’ll let you know thanks for the video I just started my UA-cam channel thank you Jess right safe out there
Jess, in your list for your favorite mic , it shows on Amazon that it is not available and they don’t know if or when it will be. Any other mic you recommend.???
I do well capturing video, riding and managing the cameras all at once…forget trying to decide what to say while riding. There is no vlogging while riding here. I use Insta360 onex2 (a large editing learning curve but well worth it) and a GoPro Hero9. I admire those of you who can vlog while riding. My style is to just voice over in editing.
I like your videos, and I really liked the adaptation of your gopro with the microphone is a very good idea for me to do for myself. I'm from Brazil and I love your videos.
I am curious to know how you are getting audio of your conversations with fellow riders onto your video. With the microphone being mounted as is in your helmet.
Thanks for doing this video. I'm bookmarking it to get some of the gear you're using. My channel isn't very big, but I want to make better quality videos, and this will help.
Just stated my youtube journey, and there is a massive learning curve on the editing. I have a lot to learn, and this video is very helpful, shame a lot of youtubers never do a video like this. I use hit film to edit, which comes with a small library of music, but the TubeBuddy is something I had not heard of before. I think that might help me moving foward, So thank you for this video.
@mike_w_21 watch plenty of videos on UA-cam. I've learned so much from basic editing, and now I'm starting to learn advanced things. UA-cam is a great info/teaching source
Hi Jess, Thanks for putting this together. I am not starting a channel but I have been on a push to improve my "home movies" of my motorcycle travels & camping so there is a lot that applies. Thanks for sharing your hard-won experience! BTW - Maybe it's because most of your vlogs are in a helmet but I noticed the strong makeup game today. Well done and not overdone. Didn't detract at all from the things you were showing us but I did notice.
A lot more information than your first how to motovlog video. My question is do you think it's hard to even get to close to where you are if starting out in 2022/2023? And do you think your gender has given you an advantage? I mean there's tons of male content creators out there but no one has blown up as quickly as you have. Having met you in person a few times (hope your hat fits 😂) I personally believe it's because of your authenticity, personality, openness, and your genuineness. Stay warm up there!
Videos like this helped me out a ton when I wanted to start making content and there's always more to learn. Like now I know about TubeBuuddy! So thanks Jess, I really appreciate it.
What a great resource, thank you so much for putting it together! My biggest challenge has been recording in-helmet narration/audio and easily syncing it with my footage. I’ve been recording it separately and trying to sync it in post but I think you’ve got the right idea here writing it directly to the GoPro footage. Really appreciate it your insight!
great info thank you. bad sound will wreck a great video so spending more on sound pays. i use corel video studio pro for my editing. i upgrade evey other year. so you may have talked me into moto blogging.
Great video Jess! I have been “Going to start videoing my rides”, even to the point I mounted front and rear facing cameras but I have very limited editing skills! Another “I’m going to..” item. Maybe Next year… 😂
Oh. This was highly helpful. Just got a GoPro 11 for Xmas. I think I've got all the extras I need to start moto vlogs. I know you said you're using Adobe. What do you think is the most economical software version? I'm looking at them on eBay & thoroughly confused. 😅😅 Thanks for the content. This isn't a cult. 🧙😁
Great advice! Starting a channel was one of the best things I've ever done. It's unlocked so many amazing experiences so far in just a short time. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about it. You don't need anything fancy. The gear doesn't matter too much if you're fun or interesting to watch or listen to. Except a microphone. Audio is surprisingly more important that video when it comes to keeping retention. Jess not sure if I told you but You, Blockhead and Shadetree made me want to try this. So damn fun! I use Vid IQ but I night try Tube Buddy to see of its better. Happy Turkey Day!
Very interesting on how you go about making video's. I have no desire to make video's however I do have a question. Batteries, you must charge and carry lots of them or are you wired to the bike so that isn't an issue? Great video's!
Hi Jess you should really try Insta 360 one Rs and helmet specific Chin Mount by Chin Mount. insta 360 one rs mic adapter is so much cleaner on the helmet with the mic adapter being so small. I know you have wider audience but I was using GoPro for many years even before making content on UA-cam. Since I switched from GoPro never looked back
I did! (I think i even have a video about the test) the quality was much lower and the audio quality was terrible. I switched back to the gopro immediately
I have 100 and some videos out. I never really knew how to make all that stuff be in sync for searching and finding the channel. Still not sure if I understand but I’m gonna give those keywords a try. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Nice generalization of the full set up. Appreciate seeing this stuff. Also… Tubebuddy… I’m going to have to check that out. Thanks for the amazing content Jess.
Feel free to ask any questions!

First thank you for making this video.
My question is how do you build relationships with sponsor or affiliates?
Been looking at the insta 360 cameras and i now you tried the insta rs but had issues with the quality i was wondering if you ever figured out how to make it better or you just said forget and deal with go pros. My wife and i have been thinking about recording our riding adventures and work we do to our bikes.
Had nothing to do with the cameras but love your hair and great job on your makeup.
Please do take this as a compliment, you have been very instrumental and important in my hesitation to begin moto-vlogging. I have years of riding footage that I have collected but haven't done anything with any of it. Your transparency and frustrations in dealing with and battling the various algorithms and pressures of constant content creation along with other content creators frustrations have been an important perspective.

Good day Mam.

And i just wanted to ask if you are making a decent living from these videos?
Is your adsence from these videos decent enough to generate a good monthly income?
I dont want to know the amount. Just curious if it will be something to concider to make some extra income monthly🙂
I love seeing how everyone sets up their helmets and gopros, there's so many ways to skin that cat. Does you mic adaptor have a gain or volume knob?
Nope! Nothing! But i’ve never really had an issue with peaking or anything. It films in mono which is frustrating, but that’s about it.
@@HerTwoWheels Must be a media mod thing, my audio used to peak so hard. This was super fun to watch!
Jess, which program do you use for thumbnail creation? Thanks.
Great Vid thanks for sharing this. I’ve been working on my own channel for the last year and it’s not easy but I’ve had a good time doing it. I run the 256gb SDcards also. Big fan of the Adobe Suite also.

Awesome review! Great items! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
Just to throw out another editing application option, DaVinci Resolve has a free version (with most of the features) and is very good
Jordan has been using that one and he really likes it!
Hello, thanks for the tips, I'm from the Philippines, i want to try motovlogging and your vid is the first vid that i watched.
Hey Jess, love the channel and thanks for putting this video together. I have a small gaming channel (this one) and I think I would like to try moto vlogging.

Hey Jess, quick q. what yt category are motovlogs. Entertainment or People & Blogs? Or something else?
The important thing is to keep the enthusiasm and continue to make the next video I always wish you good luck
Great video! I just bought an Akaso Brave 7LE and purchased the USB mic as well. It comes with a 4' long cable. Right now, I just have it bunched up and affixed to the inside chin portion of my helmet (HJC RS3). Is there a better way to route the cable for a cleaner look? BTW, my mouth does not hit the cable.

Livealbum your photography, but not when you use the 360. Can’t understand why this is so popular. Do not like the quality of the pictures.

Can you write off the items you purchase for tax purposes? Do you have an LLC or DBA? Does it only work when you become monetized?
Hey thank you for video. I do have a question what kind of a computer do you recommend for doing videos. This video was perfect timing because I am currently looking for a new computer. Again thanks for any help.
Thank you for doing this video I found it to be very informative. I'm about 34 videos in to my knew channel lots to learn .

Thanks for this, I've been considering doing some motovlogging once I've got a full season under my belt.
Same - planning ahead.
Hey. I noticed you took off your lowers on your road glide. Would you be interested in selling?? My husband loves your channel!
I don’t have any questions right now but if I do I’ll let you know thanks for the video I just started my UA-cam channel thank you Jess right safe out there

I like your videos, and I really liked the adaptation of your gopro with the microphone is a very good idea for me to do for myself. I'm from Brazil and I love your videos.
Jess what kind of computer do you use to make video for UA-cam? Is there certain things I need to look for?
Thanks for the great video. I have mostly everything I need although the editing software not sure what to get for beginners etc...
Can you tell me exactly what GoPro you use on your helmet so you can run a wired mic into your helmet. Thank you
appreciate you sharing this valuable information
I am curious to know how you are getting audio of your conversations with fellow riders onto your video. With the microphone being mounted as is in your helmet.
Also... Check the helmet laws in regards to mounting anything on a helmet
Thanks for doing this video. I'm bookmarking it to get some of the gear you're using. My channel isn't very big, but I want to make better quality videos, and this will help.
You inspired my channel being created. I just uploaded simple riding videos this year. But I hope to have an inside helmet mic for 2023. :)
I'll just stick to enjoying my motorcycles and leave this up to everyone else. It took me six months to figure out how to even comment on videos.
I have premier Pro and I find it very difficult,, most of the time I don't use it,, love your videos
I love you for making this video as I am going to start making moto blogs from next week
Just stated my youtube journey, and there is a massive learning curve on the editing. I have a lot to learn, and this video is very helpful, shame a lot of youtubers never do a video like this. I use hit film to edit, which comes with a small library of music, but the TubeBuddy is something I had not heard of before. I think that might help me moving foward, So thank you for this video.
I also shoot in 2.7K with a 256GB Memory card I can record 7-8hrs (when its direct powered) if I need to.
I don't care what anyone else thinks. I love all your videos and Jordan's too!
Great job!
Learning how to edit was definitely a challenging aspect but once you start learning advanced things it gets quite fun🙂
Stay safe!
What made this process easier for you/advice would you give?
@mike_w_21 watch plenty of videos on UA-cam. I've learned so much from basic editing, and now I'm starting to learn advanced things. UA-cam is a great info/teaching source
Hi Jess, Thanks for putting this together. I am not starting a channel but I have been on a push to improve my "home movies" of my motorcycle travels & camping so there is a lot that applies. Thanks for sharing your hard-won experience!
BTW - Maybe it's because most of your vlogs are in a helmet but I noticed the strong makeup game today. Well done and not overdone. Didn't detract at all from the things you were showing us but I did notice.
I am a girl. I very much enjoy doing my makeup 😂 thank you for the comment! 😁
Do you use ND filters ? I heard it raises the quality and standard of the footage 😃
Been toying with the idea of filming for utube. Not a fan of go pro though. Thanks for some of the tips
A lot more information than your first how to motovlog video. My question is do you think it's hard to even get to close to where you are if starting out in 2022/2023? And do you think your gender has given you an advantage? I mean there's tons of male content creators out there but no one has blown up as quickly as you have. Having met you in person a few times (hope your hat fits 😂) I personally believe it's because of your authenticity, personality, openness, and your genuineness. Stay warm up there!
Thanks so much I’m going to start making a more dirt bike themed channel and and all these tips where super helpful
Jess The mic adapter will that work for Hero black 10
happy thanksgiving enjoy your turkey awsome year you had
The Christmas list just got much bigger this year...lol.
Videos like this helped me out a ton when I wanted to start making content and there's always more to learn. Like now I know about TubeBuuddy! So thanks Jess, I really appreciate it.
not to big on starting a channel or anything but am interested in maybe filming some footage of a ride. this gives me some ideas....thanks
Hey Jess, This video is fantastic for people like me who are clueless about motovlogging. Thanks! Prayers Flying for safe travels
Thanks for the overviews, I think it’s time to just jump in!!
What a great resource, thank you so much for putting it together! My biggest challenge has been recording in-helmet narration/audio and easily syncing it with my footage. I’ve been recording it separately and trying to sync it in post but I think you’ve got the right idea here writing it directly to the GoPro footage. Really appreciate it your insight!
I just bought my hero8. Why do you choose the mic adapter over the media mod?
Great video. Thanks for sharing some of your techniques.
If you use Sena or Cardo, is there a way to record that mic audio and use it in the vide?
Absolute epic video as always you are a huge inspiration for me to get my endorsement and I want to start filming as well
I am starting right now with collecting the needed gear for moto-vlogs
great info thank you. bad sound will wreck a great video so spending more on sound pays. i use corel video studio pro for my editing. i upgrade evey other year.
so you may have talked me into moto blogging.
Thanks Jess great information as always it helps a lot.
I have all the camera stuff. I just need a motorcycle. 😂
Thank you for sharing! ✨🙏💖😁✨
Hi Jess! Thanks for this video, I admire all of your videos.
Really useful, informative video, when it comes to this kind of thing, my brain hides in the corner shivering unfortunately ☺️🌹🙏
starting a motovlog channel in 2023 is worth
Great video Jess! I have been “Going to start videoing my rides”, even to the point I mounted front and rear facing cameras but I have very limited editing skills! Another “I’m going to..” item. Maybe Next year… 😂
So descriptive thanks ma'am
Very informative. Thank for sharing. Have a Great Thanksgiving!!
Oh. This was highly helpful. Just got a GoPro 11 for Xmas. I think I've got all the extras I need to start moto vlogs. I know you said you're using Adobe. What do you think is the most economical software version? I'm looking at them on eBay & thoroughly confused. 😅😅 Thanks for the content. This isn't a cult. 🧙😁
Whichever is free!
Great advice! Starting a channel was one of the best things I've ever done. It's unlocked so many amazing experiences so far in just a short time. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about it. You don't need anything fancy. The gear doesn't matter too much if you're fun or interesting to watch or listen to. Except a microphone. Audio is surprisingly more important that video when it comes to keeping retention. Jess not sure if I told you but You, Blockhead and Shadetree made me want to try this. So damn fun! I use Vid IQ but I night try Tube Buddy to see of its better. Happy Turkey Day!
I hear great things about both!!
Very interesting on how you go about making video's. I have no desire to make video's however I do have a question. Batteries, you must charge and carry lots of them or are you wired to the bike so that isn't an issue? Great video's!
When i travel with about 4 batteries on cycle
Hi Jess you should really try Insta 360 one Rs and helmet specific Chin Mount by Chin Mount. insta 360 one rs mic adapter is so much cleaner on the helmet with the mic adapter being so small. I know you have wider audience but I was using GoPro for many years even before making content on UA-cam. Since I switched from GoPro never looked back
I did! (I think i even have a video about the test) the quality was much lower and the audio quality was terrible. I switched back to the gopro immediately
Thank you for this informative video. What camera mount or setup would you suggest for a 3/4 helmet? Thanks
Probably a very similar one that I have here, but just off to the side with a book mic.
Very informative, thank you.
I have 100 and some videos out. I never really knew how to make all that stuff be in sync for searching and finding the channel. Still not sure if I understand but I’m gonna give those keywords a try. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Give TubeBuddy a try! (Maybe watch a couple videos first) but it’s legit free and is an integral part to my SEO process!
i could never have a youtube channel it would bleep this and bleep that hahaha
I have been doing UA-cam for over 5 years (fishing channel) and I do my best to edit that out. But it's not really as big of a deal as you think.
soooooo just like mine 😂
It has been said that a little swearing is healthy. That said, you don't need to cuss like a Teamster. lol
I have a gopro10 with a media mod...but when I go over 50km/hr the sound just turns to a wind whistle...any suggestions?
it should come with a cover, you could also buy a giant squid 3.5mm mic to plugin to the media mod
👏👏👏👏 Fantastic video Jess 😎😎😎👍
If u post a speed vid. will u get cought?
Hey Jess, how many GoPro batteries do you have when your traveling? How many do you go thru on a daily basis? Have a great Thanksgiving!
I usually have 3-4 that i keep charged and cycle through! One battery can continuously record for about 45 minutes if filming at 2.7k/ 60fps
Thank you for the info. At the rate that I can afford to acquire things, I should be filming by 2024 😆 😔
Sooner than you think! lol. I actually bought my very first vlogging gopro off facebook marketplace!
Nice generalization of the full set up. Appreciate seeing this stuff.
Also… Tubebuddy… I’m going to have to check that out. Thanks for the amazing content Jess.
