“The Beginner’s Guide to Motovlogging: Record Like a Pro on a Budget”

So, you’ve got the bike, you’ve got the scenic routes, and now you want to share that "wind-in-the-face" feeling with the world. Motovlogging is one of the fastest-growing niches on YouTube and Instagram, but many riders get stuck before they even hit 'record.'

The good news? You don't need a thousand-dollar setup to start. Here is how to build your first motovlog rig.

1. Choosing Your Camera: Phone or Action Cam?

Most beginners start with what they already have: a Smartphone. Modern phones have incredible stabilization. However, if you want something rugged and waterproof, an Action Camera like a GoPro Hero 12 or Insta360 is the way to go.

The Pro-Tip: Use a mount that is compatible with both, so you can upgrade your gear without buying a new mounting kit.

2. Why the Chin Mount is the "Golden Angle"

There are many places to stick a camera—top of the helmet, side, or chest. But for motovlogging, the Chin Mount is the undisputed king.

POV Perspective: It captures exactly what you see, including the handlebars and the road ahead.

Audio Quality: Placing the camera near the chin (close to your mouth) makes it much easier to record clear voiceovers inside the helmet.

Stability: Your head acts as a natural gimbal, smoothing out the vibrations from the bike's engine.

3. Setting Up Your Universal Chin Mount

Setting up should only take five minutes. Our Universal Helmet Chin Mount kit includes everything you need to get started:

Step 1: Attach the Mount Adapter to the chin area of your helmet.

Step 2: Slide in the J-Hook—this allows you to adjust the vertical angle of the camera.

Step 3: Use the Phone Holder if you’re vlogging with a mobile, or the Screw if you’re using a GoPro/SJCAM.

4. Safety First: The "Tether" Rule

When mounting gear to your helmet, always ensure the straps are tight and the Screw is hand-tightened. A loose mount can be a distraction at high speeds. Our kit is designed to fit all size helmets securely, so you can focus on the road, not the camera.

5. Edit for Engagement

Once you have the footage, keep your vlogs punchy. Start with a 10-second "hook" (the most exciting part of the ride) and then dive into the story.
