I love that setup! Just bought the GoPro Hero 9 and really helpful to see the mounts you use for them in the car
So happy to hear that this setup was helpful! Enjoy your new GoPro Hero 9!
Great video! Your explanation of the GoPro app was helpful ... I've never really used the app, but using it in car would be really helpful!
Thanks for watching! That GoPro app definitely helped me on all of my road trips.
It is so good to learn from you through this video and get to know you from your intro. Thank you and happy new year 2022!
FINALLY UA-cam showed me your video which was very helpful in understanding videoing Road Trip Car, thank you.
Nicely explain your setup, It give me some great ideas too. Thanks for this video
So happy to hear that you got some ideas from this! Hope it works out for you :)
Hi! My family and I love your video! Thanks for all the great info! And because of you and your awesome sister I got my self a Bandolier phone case with the strap and I loveeeee it!! Thank you so much ☺️ subscriber from California 💕
Awww this means so much to us! Thank you for your lovely comment and yay for the Bandolier!! We're so happy to hear that you love it too :)
@@travelpockets your so welcome... Be safe and looking forward to watch more videos. 💕
Thanks for the great video! I have been shopping for gopro and access for my off road travels!
Very useful thanks. Trying some narration in the car tomorrow on the way to a flying lesson.
Great tips 👌🏾
Good to see the setup, although we do quite a few road trips we never really film from the car itself. We tried a few camera mounts but they were generic ones and fell off. Good to see you address the sound issues, something a lot of people ignore.
Yeah the audio portion of recording yourself in the car was the hardest part to figure out! Someone should invent a better solution to recording audio in the car ;)
@@travelpockets May be Gopro can include Bluetooth, so that it can be linked to a vehicle's sound system or AirPods.
Quick note, you can plug the cameras into the Cigarette lighter / accessory port, or USB port on newer cars. You can leave the battery out completely. everything else works great, and you never have to replace the battery. the only flaw is, the Gopro turns off when you turn the car off.
My GoPro would still overheat or act weird when I leaved it plugged in, so I stopped doing this. I'm not sure if I have a defective GoPro or not, but if it works for a long period of time for you, I'm guessing I have a bad product.
@@travelpockets My GoPro still overheats as well, I usually redirect a vent to blow air on the GoPro. For most of my videos I put the GoPro on the outside and direct the USB charging cable through the sunroof. I also have a tether rope mounted to the base of the suction mount "just in case". The view outside the window is much brighter and clearer than through the tint of the windshield
U R A KING MAKR MAAM
Hi Enjoy your travel vlogs. Love the sunglass you are wearing! Could you provide the link please?
Thank you so much for watching! I don't have a link to those sunglasses since I got it a couple of years ago, but I bought it at Express.
I know it's been a few months since you posted this, but I just found it. You could go with a Gopro max in the front with its 360 view and just edit for what pov you want. It could cut down on the amount of equipment.
That could be an option, but I like to have timelapses of different areas I'm in too🙂
Thank you ❤❤❤
Thanks this was super helpful.
@@travelpockets I just bought a Hero 9 like an hour ago with a mic to add to my Hero 7 setup for my car. Hopefully I'll be able to make videos a fraction of the quality of yours. Keep up the awesome vids!
@@chaosfirephoenix Thank you so much! Enjoy your new GoPro and adventures!!
Awesome
Perfect... super
Love this video thank you! What do you use to mount your dash cam?
Thank you, glad you liked it :) I just used a normal dash mount that usually comes with the GoPro and used the sticky pad that came with it.
I use almost your setup but for the audio, I find the Saramonic Blink500 Pro the best solution.
Hey there! Thank you so much for sharing all of this and also for the help! I have one thing to ask: Are you able to record 3+ hours with any of the HEROs? And if you can, can you tell me what the secret is? I'd appreciate that so freakin' much :)
Hey George! You're so welcome. Glad I can help :) I don't think I'd be able record 3+ hours without switching the batteries on a GoPRo. You can try hooking up the cable to a USB power source in your car and that way you won't have to switch batteries. I actually tried this with my GoPro HERO 8, but it got overheated and stopped recording or acting weird, so I stopped doing that. I believe others have had success with it tho. I might have just had a faulty GoPro.
@@travelpockets Thank you so much for responding so quickly! My idea was to create POV videos and since I'm driving a lot, it would probably be nice for people to enjoy, but I'll see what the GoPro has in mind :D ... Anyway, thank you for being so specific! I enjoy your videos a lot btw! Stay safe :)
Use a charging Cable and put the Gopro in default loop mode you can loop up to 120 minutes
Hi, great video and thanks so much. Can you recommend any easy to install or suction GoPro mounts for the dashboard, for cameras facing outwards (toward the road)? Thank you !
I couldn't find any suction mounts for the dashboard, but I use the GoPro Adhesive Mount that usually comes with the GoPros: amzn.to/3s9mlgp
This is so very helpful. 👍 I have been thinking about starting another channel with doing travel adventures (Trail Riding, Camping Trips, and Road Trips) with my new Ford. I have been procrastinating because I really wasn't sure for Audio mostly, as I do have an older GoPro and another Sport Cam. What are you using for a phone mount? (We have 2 Corgis! 🐶🐶 )
Corgis rule!! How old your fur babies? I'm so happy to hear that this video was helpful for you. Camping trips and road trips will be a lot of fun in your Ford! For the phone mount, I use a magnetic clip: amzn.to/3INBfAH

New Sub, here, I am keen to here some simple ideas on how to manage GoPros
Hi, great video! Thanks!
Where do you get the metal and plastic cage's to hold the gopros? I can't find them on the GoPro website
Thank you! Glad I can help :) I bought the housing cases on Amazon.

@@travelpockets Thank you! Will this do a full 360 turn or is that from the suction cup bar you have?
Where do you get that suction cup bar?
I am so sorry for all the questions haha
I'm a noob lol
@@travelpockets oops, sorry I asked the wrong question. I was thinking of another video I saw. How did you mount your gopro 8 to do the timewarp and act as a dash cam? My car has that same material on the dash board and I don't think a suction cup would work
@@enjoythesilence169 I used the GoPro Adhesive Mount and Parts on my dashboard: amzn.to/3s9mlgp - It typically comes with your GoPro.
Thanks for sharing your setup. One noob question I have is do you keep all camera running all the time while you are driving, or do you start/stop camera during driving? If it is later, how do you do that? -- Greetings from a road-tripper in India.
I start and stop the camera while I'm driving. I usually use the GoPro app to control the cameras remotely. Hope that helps!
Do you get any glare from the window shooting while in transit and if so How do you minimize it. Excellent video Thank You, Mike
I do get glare from the window at certain times of the day - usually mid afternoon. I just avoid recording at those times. Most of the time, there is no glare tho.
Glare from the window. Glare is going to seek to degrade your view. Get a polarizer filter just like we do for our eyes.
What do you think about DJI Pocket 2 but it looks like your are Gopro fan ? Great video on this one.
Can you also control Gopro from internet away from home or far away?
I've never used DJI Pocket, so I can't compare. I'm pretty satisfied with GoPros so that's why I always use them. You cannot control the GoPro from afar. You'll need to be near it.
Wow
thank u sister 🤩🥰
Hi there amazing! video my question for you is what editing software do you use to edit videos ?
@@travelpockets thanks for the help how do I get premiere pro ? Also is it good to edit GoPro footage?
@@arceecorso You subscribe through Adobe Creative Cloud. Yes, I've edited GoPro footage with this program for many years.
Can you please explain the mounting set up of the dashcam go pro? Is it a sandbag weight or suction? Is the shake ok from the vibration fo the car? Thank you :)
The dashcam is mounted with one of those sticky mounts that usually comes with the Gopro. The newer GoPros now have HyperSmooth mode, so you don't see any vibration from the car.
Hello, great video. Question: does the aluminum frame for the Hero 9 help to keep it from overheating?
Thank you! I don't think the aluminum frame helps to keep it from overheating, but I didn't have a problem with the Hero9 ever overheating.
@@travelpockets Thanks for the reply. I bought a Hero9 while on vacation in Colorado last week and experienced a few instances of it powering down due to overheating. I had it mounted to the windshield instead of the dash, though, so maybe that's why.
@@NeilSleep Oh really? Hmm... my Hero9 was mounted to the windshield too but I never had a problem with it overheating. So perhaps the aluminum case does have some kind of protection?
@@travelpockets Hmm... do you tend to run it for just a few minutes at a time or just until the battery runs out? I was doing the latter. It's my first GoPro so I was unaware of the overheating issues.
@@NeilSleep I tend to run it 10-20 minutes at a time. I may have accidentally let it record until the battery ran out a couple of times.
So about the cameras themselves, how do they capture night vision? Is it a fairly decent capture? And do they come with anti-glare lenses?
Many thanks!
They don't really capture so well at night. There may be some settings you can adjust to make it better, but I generally don't use the GoPro at night. It does not come with anti-glare lenses.
Just curious, when you leave the car do you take out all the cameras for prevention to theft or do you leave them in? Does it depend on the location or how long you’ll be gone from the car?
It depends how long I’ll be leaving the car. If I’m just stopping for a bathroom break or food break, I leave them in. If it’s for over a few hours or more, I take out all the cameras.
I purchased the GoPro Hero Black 9 to replace my 7-year old GoPro Hero. Just wondering what software you used to edit your footage before adding to UA-cam? Thanks
Hi new here! 🥰. Im going on a (solo) roadtrip from cali to Oregon&Washington. Im unsure to which device i should use. I just want to record the drive when im in oregon and washington. The scenery. And my hikes in the forests! Only thing as a con for me is the fish eye look in the go pro. Only negative for me. Any suggestions? Thankyouuu
Hi Alexis! That sounds like such an awesome trip!! You can actually adjust the settings in GoPro to get rid of the fisheye look. And if you forget to adjust the settings, you can also use an effect in Premiere Pro to get rid of most of it OR if you shoot in 4K and edit in a HD sequence, you can zoom into the footage and get rid of the fisheye edges. That might be a little too technical, so the easiest option would be to change the settings :)
What memory cards ypu are using ?
My go pros struggle to cooperate with 256gb SanDisc UltraPro. At about 90gb capacity cameras start hanging up and there is problem to open files if there is about 70gb on the card.
All my 10 cards does that. And all my 6 go pro 6 does that.
Oh no, that's frustrating that your cards do that. I use SanDisk 128GB Extreme and for the most part, it works fine. I've only had one instance where one of the cards had an error.
amzn.to/38rki2f
How are GoPros as far as picture/video stabilization? I would like to use to record off-road Jeep videos.
GoPros are excellent with video stabilization. I'm always amazed with how great of a job it does. You have different levels of stabilization now too with the HyperSmooth modes.
Hi. If I use this for my car dashcam. How long does the recording last and also will it loop record?? Thanks
I usually switch the batteries every 2-3 hours, but you can also plug in the battery adapter to record the whole time. I had problems doing that with the GoPro overheating, but others have had success. Not sure about loop recording.
Get a rode wireless go. it clips to your shirt and you can take it off when you like. no wires
I did see someone use this but there was something about it that would cause more hassle, so I opted to go with the digital recorder. But I might try rode wireless go on my next trip!
That GoPro 8 housing case is not available anymore on Amazon. :( I’m looking for something just like it and I’m in Canada, do you know another website that sells housing cases just like that one? I’m also looking to set up the go pro in my car
Oh no, I'm sorry that's not available anymore. Here's a couple of other cases I found for GoPro Hero 8 that has good reviews: amzn.to/3ot1ios or amzn.to/3ct8YBL - hope that works!
@@travelpockets wow thank you so much!! You’re the best! I love watching your videos 🥰
@@MaryamPirzada You're so welcome! Hope those work out for you. And thank you for watching :)
Is it easy to remove the suction mount from the car? Just wondering since I’m using a rental when I travel
I have a GoPro hero 7 mounted on my dash. Problem is it over heats and shuts down. Have you had any problems like that?
My GoPro 9 and 10 overheats if I have it recording for more than 20 minutes. If I record on timelapse, it seems to be fine.
May i ask which camera u r using to shoot this video? Is it a Canon? Thank you so much
So the million dollar question, how steady are your videos when going over dips and bumps. I have never seen a gimbal for inside of cars where can easily install.
The newer GoPros handle bumps nicely. Especially if you have Hyper Smooth on. It has the same effects as a gimbal.
can you record and charge it at the same time with a cars usb port?
You can, but sometimes the GoPro would stop recording or get a little funky, so I stopped doing that. Might be totally different in your experience, so I would give it a try.
One question. Does the image come out stable when the car vibrates or moves a lot on the road?
Yup, the image comes out very clear because the newer GoPros have a Hypersmooth feature that does an incredible job stabilizing the footage.
did you know you can use the usb cable with no battery and record till the sd card is out?
Yeah, but in my experience, this seemed to overheat the GoPro and it would stop recording or act funky after awhile. Not sure if I had a faulty cable?
the mount keeps falling off , please help me with that , i use gorpo 10hero black
I would make sure you're really pressing it in there. It can be a little tricky at times, but once you lock it in, it should stay put.
How do you keep the GoPros charged while vlogging
I just used the batteries and changed them out as needed (that's why I use the case to take out the GoPro easily). You can also charge your GoPro through it's cable, but I found that it overheated my GoPro and it would start acting finicky, so I stopped doing that. I'ver heard others say it works for them.
hows your gopro? isnt it that it gets hot after 15-20mins of filming?
Yes, if I record for about 20 minutes, it overheats and stops filming. If I record timelapses, it seems to be fine tho.
As I can see here... it seems that there's no case needed at all to mount GoPro 9 right? At least to shoot dashcam footage of course, and as long as you don't really need those audio cases shown here. I just bought it and I can see that there isn't any case included like the previous versions.
Yup, you are correct. You don't need a case to mount the GoPro 9. I just use it to take out the GoPro more easily without having to unscrew anything.
@@travelpockets 👌 I was thinking of that as well, it might be a problem unless you can take out the batteries and plug the camera to any device without removing it...otherwise I'll need to buy a case of course
How ARE you 🌹
Why don't you just run a cable from a usb charger into the gopro..? No need to replace the battery then as it will continually charge. In England we have a cigarette lighter slot in our cars. You can just plug a dual usb charger into that and away you go.
I get asked this question a lot and I did try to charge with a cable while the GoPro was powered on several times, but my GoPro kept on overheating and started acting weird like recording footage upside down or not recording at all.
Why not 10 GoPros 😳👀
Why don't you charge the cameras with a usb charging cable , then you don't have to worry about the battery life , I do works great
I tried that, but my camera would start overheating or start acting funny, so I stopped doing that. I've heard others having success with this tho.
Why don’t u just plug a battery pack an make ur battery last longer
