Tips For Vlogging In Poor Weather

[Shifty]

any tips?

Vlog from the car.

I don't mean to sound like a smartass (ok, I do a little) but that's exactly what I do.

Move to a better climate.

Yea I would but I don't want to swap rain for earthquakes!

Ride smoothly and keep wiping the rain from your camera lens. A video consisting of raindrops on the lens is unwatchable, however good the audio is.

Video yourself playing computer games
Hey, its more popular than motovloging...

If I was 30 years old going on 13 I would!! Thats all my lad watches he's 13. However I'm a middle age dude who would probably last 3 seconds in a call of duty combat situation. Shouting loudly into the camera which button is it the cross or the square !!!!

Film that! It would be great for a laugh!

I have quite a few vlogs done in the wet, I don't think there's anything much different, just need to be more alert and focus because the road is wet, if you need to pay attention to the road or have continuity in your speech, just shut up first and ride, apologize about the interruption later. Setup wise it's the same no changes, yes the side panel is exposed (I use Hero4) where the mic connects to, but I don't care, so far no issues with the camera getting a bit wet in the housing, can still operate like normal.

As already mentioned if its raining or foggy make sure you keep the lense clean. Also if your riding into the sun, which is low in the UK at this time of year the camera will struggle to combat the glare making the video too bright maybe.

I would advise against it. Your focus needs to be 100% on the road in poor conditions instead of what to say next or "am i getting a good shot?". Plus it makes for a poor quality vlog, at least from what ive seen.

Edit: I do keep my camera rolling in the rain or other inclement weather but my focus isn't vlogging. It's mainly a dash cam in the case of an accident or wreck. However if some good footage comes from it then that's a plus. That's just my two cents, you do you boo boo

I personally don't intend to vlog when it's super cold, especially with the snow out there as well. I'm thinking my season is just about shot for the most part.

My plans are to do some review videos and bike maintenance stuff.

Do it normally....

In the UK i'm sure even if you go out in the sun you could be vlogging in the rain within 10mins, so just be normal and be smooth

How do some guys vlog and record their voice during heavy rains?

The external mic on a gopro could seep in water rendering it useless!!! I wonder...

 

[2WL]

I wouldn't use a gopro in the rain, I would use a Drift
