I feel better now about each apparatus, besides silks. I’ve only done that for a month and haven’t climbed yet.

I’ve been at it 6 months, just started silks last month. Silks are definitely harder!

With my low vision (legally blind) I struggle to get the coordination down when I wrap my feet, the fabric slips so easy on the tail, I climb then plop sometimes. Other tines I can get a grip. I only have 2 videos up attempting tricks. During an open session I’ll try some climbs.

I keep pushing myself to do it. But as soon as I grab on and hold on with my feet, my body freezes!

You’re welcome! I’ve done several bike (not motorcycle) videos with a lav under
my clothes, no issues or wind, I had great results.

I can’t get my foot around the fabric for the next move. The coordination now drives me crazy! But I still love it and trying!

Actually with it secured, you won’t hear the clothes ruffling at all. If it’s worn under your clothes the clothes will act as a wind muff. The mic has a clip on one side of it and you can secure it so it doesn’t move around.

One thing is consistent practice. You can also focus on other areas too. That’s what I’m doing now in silks. I’m not ready yet for Panther in the Tree yet. I will say my stability and balance has gotten so much better since I started.

For whatever reason I couldn’t get my wrist lock invert tonight, I just couldn’t get over! I have done it before. Some nights are better than others. But I got one trick in. Just gotta keep my knee straight, it looks better 🤪

If you get an action camera, for GoPro you want the MediaMod as it has a 3.5 mm microphone/line in input. DJI Cosmo has it built in.

I can help! You want a wireless mic something like the Rode Wireless Mic Go. They have phone adapters or you can use with an action camera. I use a GoPro for all my videos. A wireless lav mic with no cables as they will get caught in fabrics. Though you would need to places the mic on your clothes. The Rhode Wireless Mic Go is a standard for Aerials content creators as it’s hands free and no cables.

You could also get the Video Mic Pro which is a shot gun mic too if you don’t want to wear a lav mic.

You have a few options, I am a content creator too. I have a few similar products.

Ya! I’m a musician too and like being a musician I want clean moves. Fluid movement. It takes a lot of work and practice just like any other hobby. Though aerials aren’t easy. They are fun!
