How I capture helmet POV shots with my ScorpionEXO (North America) XT9000 helmet's built in capture plate.

My current helmet cam: Insta360 Ace Pro - but I'm looking to upgrade to the Ace Pro 2 soon!

I love the magnetic quick release plate. It makes it so easy to take it off my helmet to use for other shots.

Hope this was helpful! 😊

This year marks Ten Years since my first big loop of Montana in 2016 that changed my life. I decided to mark the occasion by dragging my brother along to retrace my route. Ok, so we didn't get to exactly 'retrace' my route exactly but we did do a big loop of Montana and we did a lot of things I didn't get to do the first time.
Including getting to feed Bison at the Harlow Bison Ranch in Thompson Falls.

The Long Form episode is now available to watch on YT! https://youtu.be/uzOudatNXlI?si=gz2YiFDjAjkAMLd_

NEW VIDEO! Brother and I set out to retrace the trip that started my Youtube Channel Ten years ago. :)
