Take a look at Baron Von Grumble's vlogs on YouTube. He's just done one on the mic set up with the Drift HD which has made everything sound much better with my Drift.
I've just uploaded my first vlog about being a new rider on a Versys, due to finally getting it so that wind-noise doesn't drown everything out when I get above 60mph.

Enjoy the Drift and ride safe - it takes a bit of concentration to talk while riding!

1. Don't fake your personality, people will see it through
2. Pace yourself and chose topics properly (you don't want to burn out too fast)
3. Everyone in comments section is an expert in everything conceivably build/made/thought of.
4. Editing takes ages. You'll need to learn how to do it.

But most of all: Enjoy it. It takes time, but the feeling of satisfaction coming from uploading a well made vid and recieving a positive feedback is worth it.

P.S Chuck me a link will ya?

To paraphrase another member of this forum:

Is there a more depressing phrase than "MotoVlogger"?

I will send a pm to you later tomorrow

Im going to give vlogging a try and see how things go
If it doesnt work out then it doesnt work out
I will still have a good camera for insurance clames and to name and shame bad drivers if needed

I know vlogging is not everyones cup of tea but im willing to try and just wanted a few tips
If people dont like vloggers please dont comment or watch those type of videos... Simple

Anyway i will pm you that link later and i will see how things go
Still waiting for the drifthd to arrive so it might take a while before my first upload

Best of luck with it all.

I have watched a few vloggers and some were just drivel, some were pretty decent though but they grew old quite quick.

Share a link when you're up and running, be nice to watch how it progresses.

Good luck with the Vlogging - I don't personally do it but I have subscribed to a lot of them including Baron Von Grumble... Some of them are a right laugh!

My videos are a lil different, just rides on different bikes and riding my cbf in different conditions / situations. Link is in my signature if you're interested.

Good luck with it. I have the odd Vloger moment, but mainly I just document most of my outdoor sports and other fun stuff.

My youtube account https://www.youtube.com/user/shemap?feature=watch


Keep meaning to do some non sports ones, but Im mainly to busy doing them, haha

Have fun doing it

Was tempted to do this myself once before but it would more likely be crash logger

Maybe put the camera's mic somewhere away from your mouth, record your views and ideas on a separate dictaphone or something, and sync them up / re-record a better quality voiceover to suit whilst doing the editing?

As for what to talk about ... whatever catches your fancy. It's a big wide internet and regardless of what you do, it's almost certain there'll be a few people who love it, some who hate it, and a huge majority who don't give a crap. But if you have to go casting about for ideas, don't bother making the video. Additional info or inspiration surrounding a core subject, maybe, but if you really have no idea, say nothing and just caption or voiceover any interesting bits later.

(I've done a couple of car based recordings of various drives, but most of the time they were either camera tests, ersatz telemetry for checking power bands, or intended to be played back at several times normal speed, so talking was irrelevant. So long as you either remember the pertinent events or have a separate record of them there's nothing to stop you plugging a mic into the PC later on)

You've got to be interesting and/or funny, if you're neither and got a horrible voice then you're fucked.

Baron von Grumble sounds like Robert Webb
