GoPro Hero 10: How to Use Orientation Lock For Vertical Videos
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- I show you how to rotate & lock your camera's orientation, so you can record vertical 9:16 portrait videos, perfect for Instagram, TikTok & RUclips Shorts.
For anyone using a gopro 10, I have found a way to actually do this unlike what the video says which does not work.
1. Turn on the Gopro
2. Swipe down to get to the menu shown on this video
3. DO NOT click the button shown in this video, instead click the one on the bottom right called max lens mode. You do not need to have the actual max lens, as I don't.
4. Swipe up to get back to the main screen. You should notice that the lens option on this screen on the left can only do superview or wide while in this max lens mode. I use superview personally.
5 Turn the gopro to the vertical position. Click the circle on the right that shows a square with a line through it. This is horizon lock mode. Make sure it is blue/enabled.
6. Press record while still in vertical position, and once recording, you can now turn it back horizontal and snap it into whatever mount you're using.
7. Just as a bonus tip I will disable and re enable the horizon lock each time I want to do this way of filming. I'll turn off horizon lock and next time I use it I'll repeat steps 5 and 6 if it's already in max lens mode. But I think you can just leave horizon lock on and it will work from either vertical or horizontal mode depending on which mode you're in after pressing record. Haven't tested it so I thought I'd just add this extra tip to say how I do it every time.
You're welcome!
Thanks, that works on 9 as well
When you power the camera down and then back up to shoot some more do you have to do this all over again or will it keep those last settings?
@@Mindy-s-channel I'm not sure as I haven't tried it. Test it out it may save the settings.
It works, This is more helpful than the video. Thanks
THANK YOU almost folded and bought the attachment thank you
For everyone's info: it locks in the HUD orientation not the actual shooting ratio. Unfortunately, to shoot in reels or story format, you will have to get a 90° vertical mount.
Thanks this explains it better
yeah i was going to say that too, this doesnt work. you would be better off editting the clip in gopro quik and changing the ratio.
it would work if he activated the max lens mod also
@@Moh-bi9zx I’ve tried with max lens mode. Unfortunately, it doesn’t change the shoot orientation. You will have to crop and edit to a 9:16 aspect ratio if you don’t own a vertical mount :/
For everyone trying to do this with the Gopro Hero 10, YOU NEED TO ENABLE THE MAX MOD SETTING (even if you dont have the max mod), and it should work
Hero (pun intended)
@@SimonBrutyn Tried this and it doesn't work
Nice!!! Thank you!
This helped!
I have the max lens mod and it doesn’t work. For ig reels it looks like you need a 90 degrees mount
When I do this on my 10 it still stays horizontal, any guesses why that would be the case? The only way I can get it to film vertical is to hold the camera vertical.
Yeah it happens the same to me. I think it doesnt work with 10..Really bad 😔
Bloody brilliant you’ve just saved me thousands buddy thankyou
Recording in vertical format with the camera positioned horizontally is possible, for this it is necessary to activate the Max Lens mode (even if we do not have a max lens mode), block the screen orientation in the vertical position, block the horizon leveling that only appears in the previously activated max lens mode, and we could now rotate the camera at different tilt angles without losing the orientation of the image in vertical format.
This works 100% on hero10.
you are the best 2 days looking for this lol
for go pro 11, in lens use linear+horizon lock instead of superview to get 9:16 aspect ratio (insta story full screen)
Why the horizon lock
i have the 11 mini and can confirm that linear+horizon lock and then locking orientation to vertical will record in vertical format when flipped to horizontal gopro position. I currently am recording in vertical orientation while my gopro is mounted upside down and have yet to run into an issue.
@@wedbull17 and its properly vertical filming or it looks cropped? I was thinking of getting a 90 degree mount otherwise and put the camera vertical. Or instead of buying the 11 buying the max one
Can’t you just use the 8:7 aspect ratio?
@@chriatianmcguirk2161 it crops to much in for insta for example motovlog you just see the cockpit of the moto to much crop
This does not work. It locks the HUD vertically yes, but the footage still films horizontally and when editing you have to rotate and crop in significantly, destroying video quality.
+1. There's no different between this method and film in vertical mode then crop in post.
Meaning my footage is sideways instead of upright.
Hmm that’s strange
Yeah, the second you turn the camera back to horizontal position, everything in the frame turns 90 degrees right or left. So, it is vertical, but it is sideways
@@yu_am7376 so the solution is to just rotate it in post right?
@@iamactuallyjakehill yes, that is correct. If you want the picture in your frame to be vertical, not just the frame rate of the video, you have to rotate the camera too. At least that’s how it works in my case, hero 10 with the latest update.
I finally know how after a long time, thank you very much, you saved me😂🙏🏻
Not a problem! Stoked to help - you can also get my video settings here thoughtful-composer-9577.ck.page/223aaaed82
this solution has changed my life
Awesome!
So when I lock it in vertical
But flip the camera horizontal, it still shows as horizontal film so idk if this works
Do I have to do this every time? I want to mount it on a helmet so is there any easier way I can do it without stopping my bike.
Super helpful! I had been making shorts with my iphone but the camera broke on it so now had to configure the gopro to give it that same look.
Awesome to hear! Glad you got it sorted 🤘
Thx Yup
THANK YOU!! I was going to buy some crazy mount lol
Awesome, glad I could be of assistance
When mounted on a chestmount like this it won't give me the 9:16 view that I need for Insta for example. Well, it does but it's not showing as much of my MTB like when mounted vertically and this is what you need for good footage for these kind of platforms. Or am I mistaken?
is the picture cropped on the recording or on the view while recording horizontally with vertical lock?
Thanks for your tip it was very helpful ❤️🙋🏻♀️
I did this by accident and now I have 9:16 instead of 16:9. New go pro user. Can I flip it in post?
I believe after uploading the video there is an app to rotate the video and it should be perfect. Is this correct?
Thank you for the subtle tip. Not sure why GoPro decided to have orientation lock map out to aspect ratio.
But then wont it just export the video sideways??
I used your settings as well. My orientation while recording still does not lock. It only locks the orientation of the menu and things like that. I can't record in vertical. Pls help
Thanks, simple and fast
Thank you
Thanks for the video
Not a problem
Dude, this does nothing! The footage is sideways unless you keep the camera tilted in a vertical orientation. USELESS!
I feel for you Adrian x
Works for everyone else
@@actioncamguy Seriously, in what way? I have the GoPro 10, I lock the orientation in a Vertical position. I point it at you on the screen while holding it in a Horizontal position. What I get on playback is a vertical video with you completely sideways. That's just the way it is. Sure the position is locked, but for everything to not be sideways, you must also hold the camera in a vertical position when recording.
The guy only have gopro 9
Thank you brother!
How to Record spins and The viewscreen keeps locked? I mean i want tô incline de câmera and ser The inclination on The screen as If locked orientation
I'm having an issue with the GoPro 10 when shooting vertical videos: when I check the video that I just recorded I notice that the frame is displaced and what it's supposed to be the center of the frame is actually displaced towards the far right of the frame. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Does this work for the Hero 8 Black?
Yes
Go pro hero 5 support potrait mode ?
Unfortunately not
Thank you 🙏
Thanks
No problem
problem with that is your viewer have to watch it on landscape mode
This is for posting on social media, ie RUclips shorts, Instagram or TikTok
Hellow my friend, i am from Brazil, so, i am sorry for some mistakes when i am speaking in English… can you help me? I am a Pilot in Brazil, and i am really doubt about buy a GoPro 10 or 11, because i don t know if gopro 10 has a Horizon Locked feature, same function present on gopro 11…. And, every movie that i record, it is in vertical position. If the gopro 10, i could record in horizon locked on vertical position, in Brazil, is a little cheap then gopro 11.. and my question is, Theres is Horizon Locked on gopro 10?
Yes there’s horizon lock on GoPro hero 10
It’s not working on GoPro10 even though I shoot on max mode 😢
Record on vertical first
Gopro hero 7 is it work?
No - not for Hero 7 unfortunately
Does this work on go pro 8?
I believe so yes
does not work for me
Does not work with my Hero 10.
Should do
Nice Vídeo! This function is ative in Go pro 9 hero black?
I wish I could get this to work :(
Should be fairly straightforward- what camera are you using?
Helpful q
Doesn’t work on GoPro 11
Ya, it does
doesn’t work!!!!!!!!
What camera are you using?
Misleading information
Its total lie
dont record vertical crap
Not sure if you’ve noticed but, ‘vertical crap’ is kinda the large majority of content nowadays
Thanks
