The Foolproof Motovlog Setup: Record Your Rides Without the Stress

Today I’m going to walk you through the setup I’ve used for over 900 motovlogs. Sure, it’s changed a little over the years, but the fundamentals are here: Easy setup, repeatable angles, and a foolproof way to know you’re getting good audio. I use a half helmet, but this should all work just fine with a full face or modular helmet as well, and while I’m focused on GoPro cameras (because that’s what I use), I’ll make some other recommendations, no matter your budget!
