Um, solo and also with candy when we go on road trips together, uh, in the solution to all this is GoPro's.

So I use three GoPro's now.

But before when I first started this, it was just two gold clothes and you could totally get away with it with to go pros.

So you have one GoPro facing towards U s.

So it could be like me.

And it can also be your passengers.

Well, and then you need a dash cam, and that's the one that's facing the road.

Then I have a third GoPro Now where I put in the back so that I couldn't shoot Kuma in the back sometimes to because, you know, Puma always travels with me now.

So this is the GoPro hero nine.

And this is what I use to shoot myself.

This is the newest GoPro that I got.

And I really like it because now they have this, uh, front display so you can see yourself in frame.

Uh, doesn't give you, like the whole picture, but it will at least show you that you are in the middle of the frame.

It will also give you information on your battery life.

How much storage you have left in your SD card?

What mode you're on like camera time lapse, etcetera.

And also, what resolution and frame rate your shooting out And this camera is mounted on a GoPro windshield mount, and these were great.

Um, it never comes off.

I've never had problems with it.

Once you lock it in, it's really locked in there so highly recommend getting one of those for your GoPro.

I usually shoot at 2.7 K because I don't want to shoot four K because it just takes up too much space on my hard drive.

If you want to shoot four k, go for it.

But 2.7 k works out great for me.

And then, if I want to take stills of myself, I up the, um, quality to five K because the GoPro hero nine shoots five k now.

So then you can just like, you know, makes imposes and just grab stills from that because five K so it's like excellent quality.

And then sometimes I'll shoot a time warp of myself like as I'm driving, I'll just get a quick, like 10 minutes worth of me, just like driving, drinking or doing whatever, and then kind of use that in my editing timeline.

I also have this metal case that I use with the GoPro hero nine so I could easily slide out the GoPro when I need to, because the GoPro is notorious running out of batteries fast.

So with this metal cage is easier to pop out the go pro if I need to.

And then I could have just slide this over top because it's kind of magnetic, too.

So it's pretty snaps right in on Ben.

I'm ready to go with the GoPro again.

So this is the GoPro hero eight.

And this is my dashcam and this I shoot to usually at four k time work and 20 more.

But actually, she was really great footage.

I was actually surprised when I saw the footage when I came back from my recent road trip because the sky looked absolutely gorgeous when I was driving in some parts of the, um, country.

So this is also in a plastic case.

The other one was a metal case, but this one is a plastic case.

But again, I could easily pop this out, switch the battery and then pop it back in.

Yeah, these thes cages are actually really nice, um, and good for driving on the road so you can easily change out the batteries.

Just wanted to know that the GoPro Hero nine and the GoPro hero A are two different sizes.

So GoPro Hero nine is the newest one that's come out, and it's definitely bigger than the GoPro hero.

Eight.

Its's bigger, its size wise.

You could just tell that it's bigger.

It's thicker, it's heavier and the screen in the back.

Um, the GoPro hero nine is bigger as well.

Another thing that they're bigger in is the battery size.

So the GoPro Hero nine battery is bigger than the GoPro Hero eight battery.

This actually results in a longer battery life for GoPro Hero nine.

So that's great.

But the baton side is that if you have these two cameras, you have to get to different battery chargers or you can charge the camera's well.

But, you know, I usually have a different charger so that I can charge a whole bunch of batteries at once, and unfortunately I had to get another battery charger.

But that's what you get.

Let's go grows, I guess.

And then last, This is the GoPro hero.

Six.

This is my oldest GoPro, and I use it.

Thio shoot Kuma in the back because I want to shoot her.

Sometimes when she's kind of moving around or looking out the window or sleeping, she's mostly sleeping.

Eso this clip is by go pro, and it actually came with the GoPro here when I'm bundle that I got this year, but it works out so well by just clipping it onto the back of my seat here and then capturing footage of Kuma.

Then you know, I could, like, adjusted up or down easily, um, or like right to left easily as well.

I usually shoot four K time lapse or four K video on this camera as well, because I'd like to get high quality footage of Kuma sleeping.

The trickiest part about recording yourself on a road trip in the car is the audio GoPro's don't really record great audio.

They're kind of notorious for that.

There is another solution with go pro audio you could get these media mas, which I have and these work Great.

So this is the GoPro hero.

Eight medium odd And this is the GoPro hero.

Nine.

Medium odd and it enhances your audio recording.

Um, much better.

And it's great when you're recording outdoors.

It does do a great job recording audio, but when you're driving, um, there's so much one noise in the car that it still doesn't do that much of a great job.

So these air great for when you shoot outdoors.

But when you're shooting in the car, it's still not that great because you're fighting against all that wind noise in the car.

So just to show you how one of them attach is to these medium odds, So this is why I don't have the cover right now is because I usually attach these media mas to the GoPro's because there's a plug in here and you plug it into that and that's how it plugs it in.

And then it becomes like a whole new thing.

So the best solution I found Waas thio use this zoom h one n digital reporter and in the beginning, I would put it in the middle here on the bottom and kind of just kind of support it with some kind of questioning that I have, like, whatever I had like this or something like that just to keep it still.

And then I would just record at the same time, I'm recording myself when I'm talking to the camera.

So this method you have to sink the audio because they're two separate audio files.

But it's not that hard.

Once you get used to it, it becomes, like natural to you.

But to go a step further, I actually wanted to enhance my audio again.

So I got this windshield mount where I come put the digital reporter up on the windshield so that the mic is directly facing towards me so that it picks up my audio way better.

Um, eso this Nothing.

You know, going up top in the corner will only work if you're going.

Um, if you're recording yourself s so if you have two people like me and candy, then you would put it in the middle.

But if you're on your own thing, you can put a top here and record yourself.

So that was my solution to find the best way to record audio.

I'm sure there's tons of other ways to do it, but for me this is what worked out best.

I have seen other people use, like lava leers to get the best audio quality.

But I just don't see myself attaching a lovelier to myself like all the time and then recording.

It would just be like too much work for me.

Maybe if you're with two people will work out better.

But if you're driving so low and trying to record yourself, it's just, you know, not gonna be that easy.

So the easiest solution with the best on your equality was this zoom H one n like.

Another reason why I love using GoPro's when I'm traveling solo on a road trip is because they have a great GoPro app where I can, you know, control all my GoPro's through this one app.

All ideo is I go to that camera sign up there and then already have all my GoPro's registered on here.

So I have to Dio is swipe to switch GoPro's and if I'm gonna control the GoPro Hero six, which is in the back, I just hit control your go pro.

It takes a little bit of time.

Busey There's Kuma.

Good was back there.

She's been waiting patiently while I record all this s O.

That's how I could see what Koumas doing while I'm driving.

So it's kind of like a baby cam.

So here you can switch to, like, video camera, and you can also look at your settings.

So that's time lapse video.

And then if I wanna go to camera, I could, you know, switch the settings here, open up there.

You have the those savings right there.

Okay, so then you can change the resolution frames per second.

All that good stuff here and then if I want to switch the GoPro and look at what else um viewing, uh, eso Let's control the GoPro hero nine.

And this is the one that is facing me who's click on a naval preview and then join.

Okay, so there I am.

And there was candy right next to me.

Hi.

But that's the way I control on my GoPro's.

And I love this GoPro app.

I use it all the time.

So that is my solution on how to shoot myself and with candy.

When I'm going on road trips.
