Motovlogging
I'm not sure why I am even contemplating it, but I am getting some pieces together to start doing some relatively informal motovlogging. Originally I had just planned to throw an action cam on my helmet or bike just to record for the sake of recording. Then I figured why not go ahead and do some vlogging at the same time. I have many fav motovloggers that I follow and watch when I am in need of a good laugh and/or gear reviews, how to's, etc. I have no doubt it is not as easy as it looks in any way, shape, or form, so I am confident in saying that it will be an interesting learning experience if anything!
As I speak, en route is a cheapo Ion Air Pro 2 (a freebie) and an external mic to give this moto vlogging thing a try. The reviews on it are relatively decent given it's price point and the features it offers.

I had really hoped to order the newer Sena Prism Action Tube Camera but good grief it is pretty much impossible to order one in Canada at the moment. It seems to be waitlisted essentially everywhere...huge disappointment!

The Ion Air Pro 2 uses a 2.5mm mic (it unfortunately does not come with one) which can be a bit challenging to find a decent one so I may go ahead and order a Drift HD mic as that seems to be a popular mic choice for this unit.
At this point in time I'm not jumping ahead and getting a Go Pro or Drift Ghost S - both of these seem to be 2 of the more commonly used cams for motovlogging. They are on the list of maybes if all goes well in my newbie vlogging endeavors. Then I can use the Ion or Sena as a 2nd camera mount.
As a true introvert I am not sure how this will exactly pan out but hey why not...life's too short to not just go ahead try out new things that pique one's interest!
RAM Phablet Mount
So I've been grappling with what type of mount to try out on my CBR for my ginormous phone (all right I'll say it even though I hate the word for some weird reason...it just annoys me and I'm not sure why..."phablet"). Part of the challenge with my CBR250 is that there really isn't a ton of room anywhere for mounting accessories such as this without getting into adding them onto places where I don't really want them. I am also not hugely keen on suction type mounts.
So I think I will go ahead and give this RAM fork setup a go. Seems like a relatively decent apparatus overall and quite a few CBR250 riders have cited success with using them. Anyone reading this who has feedback on it - let me know!

This Week's Upcoming Weather
They say a picture is worth a thousand words...well this sums it up nicely for me! Here is my random thought on this week's upcoming weather in a nutshell lol. Can you believe my DH actually bought this for me LOL! Truthfully, it makes me (and him) laugh every time I see it (and yes I do wear it but usually only around the house for obvious reasons!!). It indeed actually is a perfect addition to the weather snapshot.
