The $60 Camera Setup!!

[CMV]

So I'm not the richest of people and I really want to start motovlogging so I'm here to show you how I do it!

First off I found a camera cheap online that was easy to mount had a decent lens and battery life, as long as I had a view wider than 90 degrees I knew it would be a viable option, so the camera I brought was

Mini F9 Full HD 1080P Action Waterproof Video Recorder Helmet Bike Car DVR Sport Camera DG-OT14204
I would post a link but I can't


Then for my audio I use my iPhone, and the standard apple headphones that came with them! If you don't have an iPhone try and search for a cheap pair of headphones that come with an attached mic! I then made a insulator out of foam, to cover the microphone on my headphones to be mounted in a cheek pad inside my helmet, then I just press record on both my camera and my phone, then if you worry about syncing the audio you can beep your horn to match the two or use some kind of audio like clapping or screaming of you really want too!

I hope I have helped some of you!! And I hope you're all having a good day!

A cheap Chinese camera like the SJC4000 and a $2 mic with your phone is the best way to test the waters

Everyone needs to start somewhere and its stupid to fork out for a shiny new set up before you know if you enjoy vlogging of whether your any good at it!

Still trying to work out my audio set up. My windows phone doesn't let you just record voices because of cortana so I had to download a sound recorder all but I can't find one which works with external mic.

Now I'm trying to find a cheap mp3 recorder and mic on eBay - no idea what I'll end up with...
