When it comes to capturing the experience of electric rideables like Onewheel, electric unicycles, or electric skateboards, having the right recording setup is crucial. Here’s a breakdown of the equipment used in the setup:
Camera:
The GoPro Hero 7 Black is the primary camera, chosen for its durability, excellent image stabilization, and ease of use. It has survived falls and captures stable footage without the need for a bulky gimbal.
Selfie Stick:
A versatile selfie stick that also functions as a tripod is employed. It’s durable, extendable, and cost-effective. The ball swivel mount allows for quick adjustments to the camera’s orientation.
GoPro Case:
For added protection during rides with a high risk of falling, a standard case is used. When incorporating a microphone setup (which is most of the time), an Amazon case accommodates the GoPro Mic adapter required for microphone attachment.
GoPro Mic Adapter:
This GoPro-specific accessory is essential for attaching a microphone to the setup, but it’s often in short supply. The adapter is known to be marked up by resellers due to its scarcity.
Microphone:
An omnidirectional microphone from Amazon is favored for its small size and ability to capture sound from all directions, eliminating the need for mic adjustments when speaking from various angles.
Dead Cat:
To mitigate wind noise, a fluffy windscreen, often referred to as a “dead cat,” covers the microphone. These windshields are effective, affordable, and available on Amazon.
Editing:
Simplicity is key when it comes to editing, and iMovie is the chosen software. It’s a user-friendly choice for editing videos, particularly since the speaker’s children can assist with editing due to their familiarity with iMovie. Additionally, it was available for free on the MacBook Pro.
Conclusion:
While the current setup works well, there’s always room for improvement. Suggestions for enhancing video and sound quality without incurring significant costs are welcomed.
