Pro tip: Some pilots also like to film their videos at a higher framerate, but post the video at exactly HALF of that framerate (Ex. Film at 60fps, but post in 30fps). This can allow you to have less motion blur while maintaining a more "cinematic" framerate. Try it out!
I've noticed better results with 60fps&1/120 shutter in reelsteady just because vibrations and quick turns cause more motion blur artifacting at 30fps. You can always add motion blur in post with davinci so I recommend you try that combo. It does require one additional step for editing but I'd love to here your thoughts on this.
Thanks Matt, The video was really helpful and in just the right amount of detail in my opinion. Especially the contents of the second half was the kind of thing a pilot might mention somewere on RUclips in a vlog as scattered information but having it all in one place is really handy if (when!) I ever need to come back to it. I don't think any other videos quite like it exist at the moment so you've just done a huge favour to a lot of people. Thanks again :) P.S. Elisha (the male version) is pronounced as shown here: ruclips.net/video/GWbLSz4EESI/видео.html
@@saturn_fpv Good point. Definitely worth more testing. I'll will try that out. This would be useful for GoPro's 9 and earlier due to the 4:3 resolution/fps restrictions.
Man, I got into FPV probably about 4 months ago, and I feel like every time I've had an issue or a question, you've released a video explaining it so well. I literally got my GoPro 10 yesterday and boom. Love the content, and love the no BS and concise way you explain things. Thanks from random follower.
I literally subscribed solely based on the the respect I have for you just posting your settings at the beginning. Still watched the whole video. Thanks you sir.
Holy cow, this couldn’t have been better timing. I just got a GoPro 10 a couple days ago for FPV and was thinking about looking up this exact question on RUclips. Thank you Matt!!
I watched your video to not break your average view only because your intro and because you respect time of your viewer Thank you so much. lots of love and respect.
Matt...agree with most of your settings (nicely done!). Always enjoy seeing what settings others are using. Regarding seeing what 'frame-rate' some filmed at (4:51) folks just need to be aware that it also depends on the GEAR ICON set in the lower right hand corner of the RUclips video. If your not selecting the highest option available then you could be looking looking at a lower video resolution. Frame-rates look correct but video resolution may be off. Not sure what your using for editing but worth mentioning (as I ran into this myself the other week). If shooting in 5K/30fps, then give PROXIES a try (if using Adobe Premiere Pro). Had zero issues using PROXY files for my 5K edits. Premiere makes this so easy now in 2022. Again, nicely done and explained!
You are the number one Matt! Nobody explains like you. Maybe you just missed talking about other gopro models like 9, 8 or even 7, but I think your informations are useful for these models too! Thank you!
Thanks so much this is my second season and I just bought a gopro hero 9! FYI I apologize in advance I'm kinda a groupie I bought basically all the quads you have because I value your opion so much! Just finished my johnny fpv rig but I used tmotor pacer v3 1950kv and a dji mamba f722 mk2 55amp stack! Having these settings for the gopro has helped me so much along with this video to understand the gopro and help me to capture the best quality videos!!! Sorry for the long winded comment but....your awesome and do so much for our community and I want to thank you very much! Happy flying and have a wonderful week 😊
Although this is something I already know, it was nice to see it from your perspective and I like your explanation. I feel like the hardest part is not the shots or even flying, but learning how to edit to the full potential of the video. Keep them tips coming.
Great Video! Another helpful GoPro Tip is shoot with Native color balance. GoPros limit colors to achieve color temps so "Native" lets all the color and light the sensor is receiving be recorded. It helps with low light grain and color accuracy. Note it will make red look more orange but there are LUTS to fix it.
This is the video I have been waiting for! Thank you for the insight. It would also be awesome to see a short video of you in post adjusting a videos image quality to your liking (color grading, sharpening, etc.)
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video Matt! I've been doing film work for a long time and still love a well-made how to video to sharpen up my skills as technology advances. I was recently watching gimbal God, he has videos about snowboarding that I have also been applying to my fpv. He suggests to 4 times the shutter speed when using hypersmooth. All love and 🙏 thanks again.
7:24 - Very interesting bookshelf! Did Amazon Books put you up to this!?! :-) - Very eclectic collection. I feel like my own bookshelf needs updating...
Your videos are so usefull and straight forward. Thanks! One question: why do u use Reelsteady if the GoPro 9/10 support built in stabilizations? It makes it an extra proces..
Hey! thanks for videos like this, they are very helpful! maybe could be good to add that if you shot in 4:3 linear you wont be able to process it on reelsteady, you should put it on 16:9 from the start.
Very informative for beginners but I'd like to point out a few things: 1. 24fps looks good in cinema because the projectors emit 24fps light. If you watch 24fps or European PAL 25fps or 50fps on a 60Hz Monitor or TV you get stutters (dropped frames). 2. The RUclips stats show exported video settings, not the actual recorded fps. This is another reason for stutters: your timeline and exported video should match the recorded video. Only exception is when you stretch or condense the footage (transform a 50 second 50fps clip into a faster moving 30fps 30 second clip or slower moving 60 second 60fps clip). 3. I disagree with pre vs post lense correction. If you choose linear in GoPro, it will not be native resolution anymore, it's cropped so it's less resolution, just because GoPro saves the file as 5.3k or 4k it doesn't mean it's the true sensor resolution. 4. All previous GoPros offered Superview only for 16:9, that's because it meant using the full 4:3 sensor information and squishing it to 16:9 (looks more distorted but RSGO knows exactly how to transform it back). Like you said, 4:3 should give higher detail. I assume it's a marketing thing to have introduced Superview to GoPro 10 4:3. 5. As stated in the other comment: instead of shooting 60fps and exporting in 30fps for "cinematic" look, just go for the 270° which means 30fps and 1/120 shutter 6. You could add the recommendation to upload to RUclips in highest resolution for less RUclips compression no matter the source meterial. 7. Another recommendation to find the right ND filter is to change shutter to check the brightness. Its quicker to change/adjust and each shutter step mean one step ND Filter.
I am into all this…. Using Hero8. I have been experimenting with some pro mist filters. Excellent video for all levels. There is a PM variable ND and mist available have yet to try that but it could be good!!!
Matt, you're the only guy who is smart enough to understand my question. When i fly fpv with my gopro 9 i fly upside down or knife edge through trees, but my gopro only films right side up. I can't lock the orientation to the orientation of the camera. It always films right side up...auto rotation. I've tried landscape mode, lock landscape, lock orientation, i even had it working for a minute but as soon as i started recording i would not show that the drone was upside down,, and when i do a roll it just bobbles and doesn't show the drone rolling,,,, how do you lock the screen during record or not record,,,I am frustrated they are making it so hard.
Hey man. Great video as always - a great insight into settings I've steered clear of changing for fear of messing things up! I have a question relating to the exposure setting and choosing the right ND filter. I'm familiar with the exposure triangle from my photography days, but how do you choose which ND filter to use? In a DSLR you'll have a measure of exposure to work from before you take the shot, so do you take some test footage pre flight to see which is best or do you have any rule of thumb you work from?
The 180 rule really only applies when you are slowing down the recorded footage in post. If you were to playback in real-time then you would want about 1/48th regardless. If you were to playback 120fps at 60fps then you would want 1/120 and if you were to play back that same 120fps at 30fps then you would want 1/240. Gerald Undone has a nice video on this. But then if you are using in camera stabilization you probably want as high of a shutter speed as you can so the stabilization works well.
A lot of times I'll do 1/ 24 when flying straight and fast down trail or thru trees close to ground to try and make it look faster. I struggle trying to get mix between different areas. Having one area come a lil dark and another one a lil blown out. I worry with iso range it lock on to sky or something
Personally, I leave my Shutter Speed at "AUTO" and the footage looks just fine. Same with White Balance but it's a personal preference. I just don't notice enough of a difference to keep messing with those settings. At least not on the GoPro10.
@@RGMGFitness depends video ur taking. If I leave it auto. Sometimes drone will point more up toward sky or sky and everything I would like in flim goes black. People talk about white balance shift mid video but I rarely see it very often. But video not changing white balance mid video makes it easier to edit post production. Yea there r times I leave everything on auto. Wish more of my cameras did like gopro and offer an at least iso range. 100 to 400 so I stopped it going any higher. Wish gopro made a lighter camera too
Hi Matt!, Love your channel! Lots of really useful stuff you´ve giving us here! Kudos to you! Ive just got one question, regarding the low sharpening option on the GoPro; Why have it at low, whe you need to sharpen (And then I assume also lengthen your rendertime in post), when you can have it sharpened to begin with. What am I missing here? Thanks in advance!
took me a few minutes to find 60Hz (for NTSC) and 50Hz (for PAL). In PAL mode you can't use 30fps at all however for UK/Europe viewers, you are watching back footage on 50hz electrical grid. So 60hz (USA) setup won't be the best option. just something to bare in mind.
@Matt Pochwat Did you ever experience some microvibrations for Gopro 4k Footage after stabilizing it with reelsteady ? You recommend to you for instance 4K, 30FPS and Shutter 1/60 - With double Frame rate I have always issues when flying slowly or having low light conditions. I tryed to use 4K, 30 FPS and 1/120 Shutter so using the frame rate 4x -> That made it a bit better but still not 100 fixed. Any recommendations?
Pro tip: Some pilots also like to film their videos at a higher framerate, but post the video at exactly HALF of that framerate (Ex. Film at 60fps, but post in 30fps). This can allow you to have less motion blur while maintaining a more "cinematic" framerate. Try it out!

What are your thoughts about the gopro 11 vs 10
Can I ask where you learned all this
took me a few minutes to find 60Hz (for NTSC) and 50Hz (for PAL). In PAL mode you can't use 30fps at all
however for UK/Europe viewers, you are watching back footage on 50hz electrical grid. So 60hz (USA) setup won't be the best option.
just something to bare in mind.
I'd suggest trying out 25fps with 1/50 shutter speed for cinematic footage.
can you do one for the gopro hero 9 PLEASE !
The exact same principles apply! You would have to scale down the resolutions a bit but it's no different.
For white balance and colour do you use grey card, and colour checker?
Can you use GyroFlow with Go Pro and does it matter if you have Hypersmooth on or off?
What about the 11 mini ??

What spec computer would you recommend for no limits with editing?
Im planning on using Gyroflow. Should I therefor enable hypersmooth or not?
Hello, will 25fps filmed at 180 bit rate at 4k shuttle speed 1/160. Will these settings stop blur? Best regards
GoPro setup fpv transmitter to transmate live vedio footage like fpv cammeras how it's possible?
do you have to film at 30fps native or can you film 60 fps and reduce for effect?
