Can I make a request please? can you upload a short video between a hero 7 with hypersmooth vs hero 4 that is edited to be smooth? Not sure what to buy since the price between the two is a huge leap for me.
Here are his settings: Bit Rate: High EV Comp: -1 White Balance: 5500-6000K (Outdoors) ISO Min: 10 ISO Max: 3200 (Grainy footage but smooth) Sharpness: Low-Medium (Low if planning on editing later) Color: Flat (Unless underwater) RAW Audio: High (Other people mentioned this doesn’t actually affect the video file, it just creates another file) Wind Reduction: Off (Put a dead cat on the microphones)
@@livelikeaviking8029 How about smooth stabilisation in day light what setting I neeed should I increase iso max or reduce becuz I want stabilisation in day light
13:00 Ah this is something lot of people get confused on with RAW audio. Turning this on does nothing to the audio on the video file, it creates a separate audio file next to the video file. Depending on what you set RAW to, it’ll either do zero processing, or give you a slightly less (over) processed result. You’ll have to sync the audio track in post, which is why I normally don’t recommend it for first timers. Another great video otherwise!
I'm still confused. If I plan on recording a bike ride, and I don't want the wind to ruin the experience of the video, why would I turn Wind Reduction from auto to off? It seems counterintuitive, but I'm a beginner, so could you maybe explain this to me? Thank you. I also bought a wind muff that covers the entire camera.
@@okletsgo9135 I'm just now seeing your comment, and you may have figured it out by now, but the electronic wind reduction doesn't sound great. It cuts the audio in weird ways and can make it sound very "thin" or even robotic. Basically, the methodology in this video is to remove the need for electronic wind reduction by using physical wind reduction (via the mini dead cats he puts on). A lot of the time, the tiny bit of wind noise you'll get with the dead cat on will still sound WAY better than the electronic wind reduction doing its thing.
@@DaveLisowski Yes, I actually bought some mini dead cats and stuck them on since leaving that comment. I've uploaded one bike ride so far this year but looking to do more as weather gets warmer - thanks for the advice!
@@okletsgo9135 Just checked it out! Sounds like the audio was panned to the left- a lot more sound in my left headphone than my right. Was that something done in editing or was that how the camera picked it up?
@@DaveLisowski must be how the camera picked it up... the only thing I did was reduce the volume to 25%. I also don’t like the rumbling from the road... may try to mount on stem to see if that makes a difference... or just add cool music overlays haha... thx for checking it out tho
I may be mistaken but I'm pretty sure the raw audio track setting only affects the separate WAV file that's generated while the wind setting only affects the audio baked into the video file. I keep the wind reduction on and set my raw audio to low and choose which track to use based on the situation.
Yep…. I just bought my first Hero 9 Black yesterday to use while riding my motorcycles. Today I installed the battery after spending a solid 3 minutes trying to open the cover. I truly have a lot to learn. I subbed to your channel. Thank you!
I do EXACTLY the same settings with the exception of 2 settings: My upper ISO is set only to 400 on super sunny days (I've been pretty happy with that), and on cloudy days, my ISO is 3200, but I use a white balance of Native. Other than that, you nailed it regarding what settings seem best. Staying AWAY from Sharpening makes a WORLD of difference! Great Video!
You are exactly right. Old 120 film (6cm x 6cm negatives) of the past never looked over-sharpened, because it was simply impossible. Now with digital, it's good that we can back off on the over-sharpening these cameras do.
I cannot believe that I have tried mountain biking so many times on Killington, VT where I live nearby, and I did not think to flip the camera upside down at the 45 degree angle to save myself the face palms of the horrendous video footage that soon followed. Thank you for these videos and your channel! I truly hope to make better videos with the knowledge that you so graciously are sharing to us all!
I appreciate this video very much although one thing: the white balance setting on 5500k is seriously not ok for me! Colors are simply too warm and white is not white. White balance on auto, together with Flat colours (and no sharpening) gives me the most realistic result. This gives you the best output for processing afterwards.
Factory or your setup there is still one major issue : RUclips compression... I don’t understand how to avoid the mushy foliage and 240p look when uploaded to RUclips. I don’t see as bad result with other camera. Maybe because there is no fast movement. But yes it’s like we watch 240p.
Thanks for this video! I'm trying to get clear RUclips videos (mountain biking). The speed was getting everything blurry. Work in progress. I'll try these settings.
I tried these settings . The audio was so good , like crazy good . The flat colour dulled things out a bit and looked average when the sun came up . The 24 FPS looks so good too. I’m not real great at post production so would these other settings go with GoPro colour ?
@@mickfromrocky Yep if you wont color grade gopro colour would do wonders. If you have some extra time to mess with the colors just apply a lut to amp the colors a bit.
I'm trying the Micover microphone shields. Top quality, the fibers are securely attached to the base and do not shed. The perfect size- the fibers do not overlap the lens. Highly recommend!
Don’t you get terrible wind noise when you turn it off. I am in automotive RUclips & I want to hear exhaust note without having to use an adapter. Suggestions?
I do motovlogs and have had good results with using my phone's default voice recorder to record exhaust sound. I just set the thing to record and pop it in the outermost pocket on my backpack. You can check out the results on my channel. The Royal Enfield Interceptor video was done using this method. Compare that to the Harley Davidson Iron video where I used the GoPro's audio. Massive difference. Hope it helps 😊
Better to remove wind noise mechanically using a deadcat or deadkitten instead of using wind noise reduction software. You can always remove some noise in post production if you need to, but then you have at least raw data and more freedom to get it how you want it to be.
The best way to get bike audio noise is to use something like a zoom audio recorder. Mount it under the seat. The benefit of those is you can control the input gain so It doesn't distort. Can even run a separate mic closer to the back end of the bike. Just wish I could do it on my track bike. But no where to mount it 🙄
Fantastic video!! Thank you for the tips ;) I was very disappointed with my recent mt bike GoPro footage and was like this can't be right? So I did a search and your excellent video came up. Thanks again and all the best, Jay
They do have a wind foam case for it, that way your gopro still looks nice at the end of the day, it does great with wind, and you can just take it off and put other cases on it also. (I have a gopro hero 8) 15:00 The case also costs like $8 and protects it too.
Foam acts really poorly against fur which is basically transforming the force of the air movement into moving physical hair furs. Foam just has tunnels for the wind to spread away from mic but most of the wind can still get trough in windy conditions. It might work well with just the wind of riding the bike but when there already is heavy wind on top of the mountain the fur is the deal!
You’re my hero dude! I bought this GoPro for trail riding (dirtbike single track) and was underwhelmed by the factory quality. She’s all set and ready for the snow to melt now! Great vid!
I'm surprised how noticeable the audio change was in your settings and the factory ones! Were you using the separate Wav file that the raw audio creates?

Wow! What a difference, I recently purchased a GoPro 10, and I took some video and photos in Banff plus two days a go my back yard and was not happy with the out come on both with the newest camera, went on Utube and found your channel, changed the settings and the greens grass and blue sky is unbelievable, thanks for the settings and I’m a subscriber now 😊
The white balance in the upward direction is mostly to compensate for the green that is prevalent in a forested mountain bike setting. If I ride my mountain bike in an urban setting where green is mostly lacking, should I move the white balance more downward, even keeping it in auto?
I really appreciate it, going out into the woods today, testing out a GravGrip look for a review from me this weekend, I really appreciate all of thes tips and tricks.
I can’t wait to try out those settings! Wish I could actually get the hang of color-correcting though. I’ve rewatched the video 3 or 4 times yet I still can’t manage to get my footage to look right. Plus, the fact that my laptop becomes a potato the instant I run DaVinci Resolve means it’s very difficult to even try to color-correct anything 😅
Thank you. I just go a new GoPro Hero 9 for Father's Day. I NOT a photographer or videographer. I am just learning how to use this thing and most of the settings you show are way over my head ... for now. So I mimicked your settings on my gopro. I will try it out during my next ride :)
Go pro any settings footage dsnt matter U should teach us how to RENDER it.. cause no matter how good the footage if upload it to youtube it will get pixilated
That has to do which codec you get from youtube: avc1 or VP09. Basically, it means that when you have VP09 you get a better image on youtube. To get this you've got two options. Or you need to get more subscribers and views or upload in 1440p or above. I had the same problem with my videos as well and since I've uploaded in 1440p I automatically get VP09. To check if you have it go to one of your videos, right-click on statistics for nerd and you will see it.
I found that when exporting my footage from Adobe Premier editing the RUclips 4k export settings from 1 pass to 2 pass render gave much better results. 1 pass works fine if the footage is stationary, however when you are flying over dirt and past trees the 2 pass method does better and your footage doesn’t end up looking like mud. Also RUclips compresses footage more in 1080p than in 4k, so watching the same footage in 1080 will be more pixilated than watching the same footage at 4k simply due to how much compression RUclips applies.
But the trail situation could get some more... help? In sa the trails are pretty average. Need more trails or less trails but bike park quality cmon scomo
@@josiahgolding7826 it does seem like we're on the cusp of that. A lot of small towns have realised the tourism potential and everyone wants to be the next Derby.
Great video. Taking my 13yr old up to Whistler for his first time tomorrow. This is gonna capture the trip way better than any footage I’ve taken. Super pumped to see the feedback. Love your videos bro.
Thanks for the settings advice! You ever tried using a polarizer with the gopro? I do a lot of skiing/fishing and in both situations the polarizer is a life saver to reduce glare and get my highs/lows looking good.
Thanks for a clear explanation and for showing each step straight through. I'm changing my GoPro settings now for a test run later this afternoon. Super cool video and presentation!
From another Canadian, thank you so much for putting these together! Honestly, your first tutorial for GoPro settings was the most useful thing on the internet, and this is a great update to cover the GoPro 9. My aim has been to share what I see as close as possible to reality, and I feel that has been accomplished. Every time I look at the results after a bit of colour editing, it makes me smile 😁 The wind mufflers do work great! Did you get the idea from Stephen Reid? FYI, Red One Music out of Montreal sells the minis at $18CAD which I consider a fair price! Do you have any tips for reducing breathing noise on these cameras? I do a lot of head mounted footage, and I want to capture the nature sounds, but not my own sounds.
I have the same question about breath sounds; I do fishing content with either a chestie or head mount and capture a lot of breathing. I’m going to try the dead cat placement he’s showing and see how that works out.
Are you still using a gimbal after the introduction of the horizon level function and the max lens mod lens? And if you prefer the gimbal, then why? :) Love your content!
@@user-md3je2qq7x From Hero 7 onwards they use a single clock rate sensor (30Hz) and the camera interpolates other frame rates (24/25 etc) this is why GoPros own launch videos are always in 30fps. It also helps that most RUclips viewers are using 60hz screens (easy division for the graphics processor).
@Northern Amauta 24fps would be cinematic with a 1/24 or 1/48 shutter speed but that doesn't work well with the HyperSmooth stabilisation that you generally want to be on when capturing a bike video. In addition, the lens used in an action camera won't produce "cinematic" footage as everything is in focus and there is no depth of field. The bad pixely image is due to RUclips's compression, not the original footage of the camera. @@slinkytrips Any hint where I can find more about your statement? The one that 30Hz is the native clock and everything else is interpolated? Sounds very strange to me.
@@brother-ql I believe the pixely and artifacted footage is due to the RUclips video using the AVC codec. @exXplode2 Do you know why this video doesn't utilize the VP9 codec even though its uploaded in 4K?
THanks for the tips, i just set my hero6 up according to this video and the footage was great at the go cart track! Best footage i have gotten from the Gopro since i got it!
Great video! My question is about Quark Stabilizer $199 vs Horizon Leveling on Go Pro 9 (free) vs Max Lens Mod ($69.99 with GoPro Subscription) Any thoughts? What are the pros and cons of using which for mountain biking. Thank you for all your great work.
Horizon leveling (at least in my experience) is limited not because it doesn't do a good job but because it forces you to shoot in linear mode and if you're wanting to capture POV action with a gopro wide or superview is going to produce a much better shot. I'm hoping the Max Lense Mod will allow us to turn on horizon leveling but provide a wider field of view. Fingers crossed! If it doesn't work as well as hoped I'll be getting the stabilizer too.
@@TheLoamRanger Any 5 min vid looks great when you spend 20 hours in post later changing everything. GP promo vids are shot and re shot 50 times and then modded for weeks to make it perfect

Who dislikes you or this video??? For one thing, your Canadian! No one could possible be offended by you or your countrymen 😁. I’m currently using the 7 and wasn’t convinced to upgrade but may after seeing your amazing footage. Thanks, Ryan👊🏻

TLR!!! - Thanks for this video, any chance you can translate the language to my ancient Go Pro 5?? Also, thanks for your cornering video, best I've seen I have shared it with all my MTB NJNICA coaching colleagues in NJ
24fps actually IS pretty close to what our eyes see, I mean its not like you can compare cameras to eyes anyway since "we dont see in fps" but IF you do.. 24/25 is the way to go, especially with the motionblur it produces if you got the shutterspeed right.
Thank you! I film quite often footage at the motocross track and I agree the shadows and audio is trash. I cant wait to try out my new custom setup. Thank you
Thanks for the tips. I'm a first time GoPro user and I'm wanting to use it on my motorcycle. I'm not to happy about putting the dead cats on it but, its got to be better than the wind noise issue I've been dealing with so far. Thanks again for the tips on the settings.
there is a third mic under the power button... on the hero9 and the double tape is easily made with a hole puncher, JUST REMBER TO KEEP THE PAPER ON WHEN YOU CUT THE HOLE!!
If I have an external mic plug in for better audio when riding, do I need to put “ RAW audio “ on high & “ Wind “ off? By the way phenomenal tutorial man bravo. 🤝
Well done Ryan, off my bike from injury but I did get the 9 and started to play with it. Basically the same as the 7 with few changes. I did get some deadcats and will be turning off the wind setting. Looking forward to checking it out. I am really missing my Ripmo and now the weather in BC is changing. All this week will be hero dirt and I can't ride!!
Love Your Details Man! You make smaller channels like my own much better & more fun to watch with just a few simple tricks to the settings! Really means a lot & I'm sure all my viewers can thank you & other RUclipsrs like Kyle Warner for giving out your own personal Pro tune settings, as they've helped evolve my channel dramatically from just 1 year ago! Thank you thank you!!! 💁🏻♂️🎥✨🚲💨
WHAT ABOUT LOW LIGHT? The Hero 9 is Terrible compared to the Hero 8. I returned my 9 last week. So irritated cause I wanted everything else the camera offers.
thank you! just got into mountain biking in september and my girlfriend got me a go pro for christmas! i dont think ive ever gotten a better gift. Put all these settings on. cannot wait to get to recording!
Brilliant video. Thank you. New to GoPro here and your guide has given me confidence to make better quality shots. Always prefer to take advice from a pro..! Great stuff. Subscribed..!
Subbed for a fellow Canadian. Great work and I"m waiting for Hero 8 Black to arrive. Was going to take it boarding this year, but after my fall, my season might be done. Can't wait for the summer though when we can hopefully all be normal again!
Got a Hero9 today to slap on my helmet for motocross riding and street bike on the track. Hope these settings are applicable! Oh, also to use on a roller coaster tomorrow night. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you. The one thing I'm really not liking IS those bright sunlight spots on the ground. They just wash everything away, and like you said, have no detail ... they look like crap to. I can colour tweak in my editing program ... that'll be a bit of a learning curve, cuz you can really mess it up. But this helps alot to get the filming side and create a little less work in "Post". So thank you.
Not sure about the wind noise off suggestion. On a motorbike it sounds shockingly bad when wind reduction is turned off. Even with foam wind blocker shields. Will try the rest of the video settings. 👍

I found that when exporting my footage from Adobe Premier editing the RUclips 4k export settings from 1 pass to 2 pass render gave much better results. 1 pass works fine if the footage is stationary, however when you are flying over dirt and past trees the 2 pass method does better and your footage doesn’t end up looking like mud. Also RUclips compresses footage more in 1080p than in 4k, so watching the same footage in 1080 will be more pixilated than watching the same footage at 4k simply due to how much compression RUclips applies.
Your settings have really helped me. Thank you for posting an update as the cameras have been updated
Man I thought having to look out for snakes was bad. I'm glad we don't have bears in Australia!
Well, Australia has some pretty deadly snakes, though. Gorgeous country you live in.
Just got lookout for Drop Bears! Meanest of them all.
@@chameleonpogono it is pretty great, I gotta say
But the trail situation could get some more... help? In sa the trails are pretty average. Need more trails or less trails but bike park quality cmon scomo
@@josiahgolding7826 it does seem like we're on the cusp of that. A lot of small towns have realised the tourism potential and everyone wants to be the next Derby.
Great video. Taking my 13yr old up to Whistler for his first time tomorrow. This is gonna capture the trip way better than any footage I’ve taken.
Super pumped to see the feedback. Love your videos bro.
Thanks for the settings advice! You ever tried using a polarizer with the gopro? I do a lot of skiing/fishing and in both situations the polarizer is a life saver to reduce glare and get my highs/lows looking good.
I don’t think I’ve ever watched a video of biking like this. Props, you seem really good
1.1M views on the first vid...yeah that might've been me rewatching it 500k times
Same
@@dirtunited823 Especially the beginning bit where he crashes into the trees.
can you put the link that video
Yup
This may very well be the most useful video I've watched in months
I much prefer higher framerates for action, such as this. 60 fps is the go to for me.
Thanks for a clear explanation and for showing each step straight through. I'm changing my GoPro settings now for a test run later this afternoon. Super cool video and presentation!
From another Canadian, thank you so much for putting these together! Honestly, your first tutorial for GoPro settings was the most useful thing on the internet, and this is a great update to cover the GoPro 9. My aim has been to share what I see as close as possible to reality, and I feel that has been accomplished. Every time I look at the results after a bit of colour editing, it makes me smile 😁
The wind mufflers do work great! Did you get the idea from Stephen Reid? FYI, Red One Music out of Montreal sells the minis at $18CAD which I consider a fair price!
Do you have any tips for reducing breathing noise on these cameras? I do a lot of head mounted footage, and I want to capture the nature sounds, but not my own sounds.
I have the same question about breath sounds; I do fishing content with either a chestie or head mount and capture a lot of breathing.
I’m going to try the dead cat placement he’s showing and see how that works out.
The “wind” function may be more important for quadcopter usage. Thanks for the tip. Can’t wait to try them.
Are you still using a gimbal after the introduction of the horizon level function and the max lens mod lens? And if you prefer the gimbal, then why? :) Love your content!
Just got my first go pro a Hero 7. Can't wait to play with the settings now and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the help
Thanks for the setup. Looks like not much has changed from the 8. We love the footage we've been getting with your settings. Thanks.
By far the BEST settings video for GoPros
I built your L ramp btw thanks for the plans 🤙🏻
I built one a few months ago too! So awesome
Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this video Ryan. I am not camera savvy but do want my new 9 to look and sound it's best. Cheers!
*the bear watching ryan talk about cameras right next to it:*
👁👄👁
Absolutely fantastic vid - Clear, precise. Much respect from Australia. Thanks
Thank you for that my GoPro footage looks a lot better since I changed it
Best info I've come across since getting my GoPro8, good work
Those 24fps on a bike video are far from being "cinematic" and closer to a headache due to all the bad pixely image
What do you use ? Thanks
@@user-md3je2qq7x From Hero 7 onwards they use a single clock rate sensor (30Hz) and the camera interpolates other frame rates (24/25 etc) this is why GoPros own launch videos are always in 30fps. It also helps that most RUclips viewers are using 60hz screens (easy division for the graphics processor).
@@slinkytrips thanks for the info
@Northern Amauta
24fps would be cinematic with a 1/24 or 1/48 shutter speed but that doesn't work well with the HyperSmooth stabilisation that you generally want to be on when capturing a bike video. In addition, the lens used in an action camera won't produce "cinematic" footage as everything is in focus and there is no depth of field. The bad pixely image is due to RUclips's compression, not the original footage of the camera.
@@slinkytrips Any hint where I can find more about your statement? The one that 30Hz is the native clock and everything else is interpolated? Sounds very strange to me.
@@brother-ql I believe the pixely and artifacted footage is due to the RUclips video using the AVC codec. @exXplode2 Do you know why this video doesn't utilize the VP9 codec even though its uploaded in 4K?
What a great video man! Thank you for taking the time to share these tips with us all!
7:27 "who wants to spend all day watching a youtube video". 7 and a half minutes in and still havent gotten to the point of the video -_-
7 minutes out of 1440 in a day. Chill
@Connor Gaughan wtf dude go smoke a doubie
updated my settings, looking forward to seeing the difference on my next ride, thanks for the tips
What about the HyperSmooth 3.0 with horizon leveling vs the single axis gimbal? Would be interested to see if the gimbal made any difference.
I second that! Keen to know if it's worth buying the gimbal
You can only get horizon leveling in linear mode, which crops the frame too much for MTB.
@@huntstyle I think that is why a lot of people have been talking about and showing it with the max lens mod.
THanks for the tips, i just set my hero6 up according to this video and the footage was great at the go cart track! Best footage i have gotten from the Gopro since i got it!
Great video! My question is about Quark Stabilizer $199 vs Horizon Leveling on Go Pro 9 (free) vs Max Lens Mod ($69.99 with GoPro Subscription) Any thoughts? What are the pros and cons of using which for mountain biking. Thank you for all your great work.
Horizon leveling (at least in my experience) is limited not because it doesn't do a good job but because it forces you to shoot in linear mode and if you're wanting to capture POV action with a gopro wide or superview is going to produce a much better shot. I'm hoping the Max Lense Mod will allow us to turn on horizon leveling but provide a wider field of view. Fingers crossed! If it doesn't work as well as hoped I'll be getting the stabilizer too.
@@jamaliciousben the max lens mod keeps you locked at only 2.7K
Tried out your settings on my new GoPro 9. Great results on both video and audio. Thanks!
My bike channel works good because of you, I owe you a beer mate!
Glad I could help!
@@TheLoamRanger Any 5 min vid looks great when you spend 20 hours in post later changing everything.
GP promo vids are shot and re shot 50 times and then modded for weeks to make it perfect
I am trying to get there. Having a channel is a lot of work and the learning curve is looooooooooonnnnnggg. I'll check you out.
I just discovered your channel via The Loam Ranger, congrats on the 1st 1K subs!
@@TheLoamRangerCould you just give a quick tip how to setup gopro for winter? Ski/Snowboard pow footage for open mountains area (90% white color) and for the forest ride?
Than you sir, I look forward to filming now that I have made these changes.
Yes, I wanted to write a comment to update that video. Guess you read my mind.
Who dislikes you or this video??? For one thing, your Canadian! No one could possible be offended by you or your countrymen 😁. I’m currently using the 7 and wasn’t convinced to upgrade but may after seeing your amazing footage. Thanks, Ryan👊🏻
😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!!! I love how you gopro looks like it has a mohawk and a beard!!!! Little things like that make my day 😂😂😂😂 Thank you for the vid. It was very helpful 👍👍
TLR!!! - Thanks for this video, any chance you can translate the language to my ancient Go Pro 5?? Also, thanks for your cornering video, best I've seen I have shared it with all my MTB NJNICA coaching colleagues in NJ
This dude: i wanna mimic real life
Also this dude: *uses 24 fps
24fps actually IS pretty close to what our eyes see, I mean its not like you can compare cameras to eyes anyway since "we dont see in fps" but IF you do.. 24/25 is the way to go, especially with the motionblur it produces if you got the shutterspeed right.
Thank you! I film quite often footage at the motocross track and I agree the shadows and audio is trash. I cant wait to try out my new custom setup. Thank you
7:30 thank me later
*let me thank you now*
Omg thank you
There's differences in the menu. *Because of the Firmware Update?*
Mine doesn't say *Hypersmooth 3.0 Boost* --- it says *Max Hypersmooth [ON]*
Many thanks! Took a brief ride today, and your settings kicked bootie!!
I really appreciated this. Just upgraded from a hero 7 and 6 to 2 9's and this one vid improved everything.Thx.
Thanks for the tips. I'm a first time GoPro user and I'm wanting to use it on my motorcycle.
I'm not to happy about putting the dead cats on it but, its got to be better than the wind noise issue I've been dealing with so far.
Thanks again for the tips on the settings.
Great video Ryan!
This was a good video and I'm getting my gopro on Friday so will be using your settings and it makes it look so good thanks for sharing 👍
there is a third mic under the power button... on the hero9
and the double tape is easily made with a hole puncher, JUST REMBER TO KEEP THE PAPER ON WHEN YOU CUT THE HOLE!!
If I have an external mic plug in for better audio when riding, do I need to put “ RAW audio “ on high & “ Wind “ off?
By the way phenomenal tutorial man bravo. 🤝
Thank you for all your help! I am a first time camera operator. You are easy to follow!
The mufflers 😆 I will do the same, nice idea. Best video!! Thanks man!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Well done Ryan, off my bike from injury but I did get the 9 and started to play with it. Basically the same as the 7 with few changes. I did get some deadcats and will be turning off the wind setting. Looking forward to checking it out. I am really missing my Ripmo and now the weather in BC is changing. All this week will be hero dirt and I can't ride!!
I just picked up a Hero10, charging the battery now, once that's done I'm going upload your settings and go for a ride ... tomorrow. Thanks!
Love Your Details Man! You make smaller channels like my own much better & more fun to watch with just a few simple tricks to the settings! Really means a lot & I'm sure all my viewers can thank you & other RUclipsrs like Kyle Warner for giving out your own personal Pro tune settings, as they've helped evolve my channel dramatically from just 1 year ago! Thank you thank you!!! 💁🏻♂️🎥✨🚲💨
WHAT ABOUT LOW LIGHT? The Hero 9 is
Terrible compared to the Hero 8. I returned my 9 last week. So irritated cause I wanted everything else the camera offers.
Turning off wind noise reduction also solved the audio popping issue on mine. A+
So stoked to try this!! Picking one up next week.
thank you! just got into mountain biking in september and my girlfriend got me a go pro for christmas! i dont think ive ever gotten a better gift. Put all these settings on. cannot wait to get to recording!
Brilliant video. Thank you. New to GoPro here and your guide has given me confidence to make better quality shots. Always prefer to take advice from a pro..! Great stuff. Subscribed..!
Thanks dude, now I know why the sounds on my footages have annoying noise and weird echo in the wind.
Thanks for all the great info! Excited to see how things look on my next moto..
Subbed for a fellow Canadian. Great work and I"m waiting for Hero 8 Black to arrive. Was going to take it boarding this year, but after my fall, my season might be done. Can't wait for the summer though when we can hopefully all be normal again!
I just bought GP-9 and it is my first camera. Thank's for your movie. It's a big luck for me to find it now!
Got a Hero9 today to slap on my helmet for motocross riding and street bike on the track. Hope these settings are applicable! Oh, also to use on a roller coaster tomorrow night. Thanks for the vid!
would be awesome if you could show a little of what you do in post and what software you use! your videos are some of the best quality on youtube
Thank you. The one thing I'm really not liking IS those bright sunlight spots on the ground. They just wash everything away, and like you said, have no detail ... they look like crap to. I can colour tweak in my editing program ... that'll be a bit of a learning curve, cuz you can really mess it up. But this helps alot to get the filming side and create a little less work in "Post". So thank you.
I just got my first go pro and saw this video. Thank you! Also ordered the chesty mount for POV shots can't wait.
Not sure about the wind noise off suggestion. On a motorbike it sounds shockingly bad when wind reduction is turned off. Even with foam wind blocker shields. Will try the rest of the video settings. 👍
the intro was sooo professional
I’ve just changed my settings in activity mode to yours will give it a try here in uk over weekend
I have the 10 so I use Natural in settings for color. This video is a MAJOR help. Thank you!!!
Yah fookin' nailed it, dude! The Loam Ranger, da game changer. Thank you!! Any videos on locked exposure settings?
This video was awesome.
Thanks, can't wait to try your settings
Great video, thanks for sharing all the settings. Now I need some ride lessons.
