Absolutely first class mate, been waiting for this video! From now on, I propose that your subscribers refer to you as "The Mailman". Why you might ask? Well, because you ALWAYS 'deliver', sir 📬 👍
Great info! I haven't gotten a chance at any fork lightning in quite some time. Seems to be too imbedded in the clouds and I only get to see the reflection of it lighting up the clouds. Keep up the great work! GoPro needs to be paying you for these videos. You are probably selling more then the marketing team! LOL!!! I know that you've got me wanting one...
Hahaha GoPro wouldn’t know I exist lol. Thanks Jon. Storms are also so hit and miss. Right time, right place, storm is moving in right direction, right storm to start with. It’s crazy.
Great information here mate. Such an amazing storm you had and you captured it beautifully! Amazing stuff mate! Hope you are well and having a great week!
@@RalphMayhewPhotography Nah, not really. Awesome audio though! Better luck next time! With your settings and a better location, I'm sure it'll be lit! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing these useful tips ! My only surprise is that you don't set the max iso at 100. Probably because 1/240s is too short for gathering enough light, even from a lightning ?
This is great info.....would you do the same for sporting events just turn the iso down so it is not over exposed?............Can't wait for the storm season to arrive back in Arizona.
Yeah you could. Depends what you wanted to catch and how close you were. A time lapse might be better if you’re a long way away. The GP didn’t overheat as it was a cold night but without the wind and rain keeping its temp down it could have overheated. Also the existing for anything but lightning is hard going. With lightning you just scroll till the black screen flashes. It would be harder without the dynamic contrast to help know where to stop.
What if the lightning is far away and any chance u have the new gopro i did copy ur settings but i assume the storm was too far out at sea also do we record in slowmo?
If it’s far away I’d use the most punched in aspect ratio (zoom) and I reckon slow mo too as the lightning is SUPER fast. The closer you are (be safe) and the bigger the storm, the better results will be. But be safe always!! 👊
Hello, Got the GoPro 10 as you suggested and have been checking out youtube videos trying to find the best settings to capture fireworks at night. I really have no idea where to start. I understand you have a life but any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
Oh that’s a great question!! Gotta do a vid on that for sure. So when I take fireworks I use the following DSLR ISO 100, f5, 10secs settings. So I think I’d start with the GoPro at Night Photo mode 10 seconds, iso max (maybe) 400 but may need to go down to 200 depending how close you are and how bright they are. High sharpness. Vibrant colour. RAW output. You may need to take iso max down to 100. But I’d start there. Hope that helps. I’d LOVE to see what you arrive at. Tag me on Insta @ralphmayhew.photography
@elknrut In case you didn’t see it, you’ve inspired me to make this… ruclips.net/video/HAm0EwaF0-Y/видео.html let me know what you think and if you have it a go, how you went.
@@RalphMayhewPhotography Thanks for the video. Long story but the camera didn't make it to the show. I saved your video and will be ready next time. Appreciate the great videos!

Thank you so much champ!
There was lightning going on, saw this video, setup my camera, within 5 minutes got crazy footage💯
YESSSS!!!! 🙌
The forecast here today is for strong male storms. I will use your tips on Hero 9. Thanks 🇧🇷👊
Woohoo. Go well mate. I hope you get some great content. Where abouts are you based?
@@RalphMayhewPhotography Located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, more or less the Brazilian Oklahoma ⚡️⚡️
@@RalphMayhewPhotography Giant hail, tornadoes and lots of lightning
@@marciosouzadasilva2268 that sounds both dangerous and exhilarating. How did you go capturing the footage?

Yeah good idea 👍
Thanks for the handy tips. Have to go and check but have you done one of these with your (may the one who stole it wake with fleas) DJI action?😃
CAVU!
No I haven’t. I tried to make one a long time ago but the storm fizzled before it got to my frame lol

Can you suggest settings for GoPro 8 ?
I don’t have one to play with but I’d say set it as close to these settings as you can.
