Oh dear, I forgot to exempt your forum from my VPN. It’s fixed now, sorry.
Dear sir/madam,
I have a big project that I really want to get done, before bidding farewell to the United Kingdom by the end of this month. I wish to film the entire loop of the M25 in 4K and 60 fps, from Mar Dyke (J30) to Darenth (J2) via Heathrow (J15). I am doing this by car.
I recently held three test runs, and I am actually really happy about my iPhone Xs 512 GB, which could easily accomplish the recording along with a few extra stretches, while the GoPro Hero 7 Black just shut down after an hour due to excessive heat.
However, I have two issues that I would like help with:
1. Shaking
The footage is really shaky, due to the road surface of the M25 (a mixture of asphalt and concrete). I used a Belkin Universal Car Phone Holder (F8M978BT), and I had to mount it on the dash so that the phone could get an uninterrupted view. I find it desirable to reduce as much shaking as possible, to save time with Final Cut Pro.
I do not know if there is a better holder that I could buy, which is designed for smartphones as a dashcam? I am quite lost because although I have Spigen, Arkon Mounts, and iOttie in mind, Amazon is full of… I don't know how to describe the abundance of brands from a certain country without breaking Forum Rule 9. I mean it is simply more about getting the best quality than just going for the cheapest model.
2. Sound
I recently decided to change from a RØDE smartLav+ to a Audio Technica PRO24-CM for the advantages of stereo, but I cannot mount it inside the car because I do not want to record my instructions to the driver (I never applied for a driving licence because I would easily fail the medical due to severe anxiety).
In the previous test runs, I put the smartLav+ microphone on a non-moving part of the engine, and while it works, the resulting sound is too loud. I am thinking of mounting the PRO24 outdoors, but if I do I have to reduce wind noise for up to 100 miles per hour in total (because British weather). Again, I feel that getting the sound source under control is better, to save time in editing.
3. Connecting the sound
Finally, there is the question of how to connect the PRO24-CM with the iPhone to get the outdoor stereo quality: I am certain to need an extension cable.
Your advice is appreciated.
Best,
