Today I finished the GoPro helmet mount that I designed together with
my son Michiel. A part was printed on a 3D printer, some parts were
cut from plexiglass with a lasercutter and some parts are standard
GoPro mounting things.

Because of the corona-crisis, we could not celebrate Chrismas with the
whole family in our house so we divided our Christmas meetings over a
few days where we visited some of our children, some of them visited
us and we had a Zoom meeting with others. The Christmas celebration of
our church was online.
It was "different" but we had a good Christmas anyway.

Today I tested the GoPro Hero 3 camera that I just bought secondhand a
few days ago. I used my GoPro Hero 8, my cheap Chinese actioncam and
my new (for me) GoPro Hero 3 to make a video for my
YouTube channel.

Today I posted a video on Youtube that I shot yesterday.
A few days ago, I tested a microphone in my helmet but that did not
work very well. Today I tested again with the microphone in another
location and that worked a lot better. Not perfect but it will do
for now.

Today I tested a small microphone in my motorcycle helmet to find
out if it was good enough to use for my Youtube videos. (spoiler: it
wasn't).
It is also a little practice for VLOG-making. I want to do more with
video in the future and the best way to learn is to do it.
Today Vincent and I made a little motorcycle tour with our GoPro camera's
on our bikes. Vincent's GoPro on his right pannier and mine below my
luggage rack. I was riding in front so we could film eachother.

I was amazed by the quality of the GoPro. Even shots right in the
direction of the sun had a good contrast.
Now we are just practising with our camera's but soon we will start
with a motorcycle VLOG.

Fortunately it is not raining today so it is a good day to make my first
test video with the GoPro on the motorbike.
With the GoPro on the handlebars I drove along the N289 to the bridge
at the Kreekraksluizen and then I drove past the fields with solar panels
to the Bathseweg and from there along the modelplane airfield further
along the Westerschelde dike to Waarde.

On the dike at Waarde I to took some video shots with the GoPro in hand
and with my Sony camera before I drove through Waarde to the N289, on
my way home again.
