Finally , someone has produced a useful and insightful explanation of filming with a go pro for winter sports. Excellent video. Thank you Malcolm. I have just purchased a couple of GoPro 8’s and kit - and just hope that this whole pandemic disappears as quickly as possible so we can get back to enjoying the lives we love.
Been watching for a couple years now and I have to say you’ve been, by far, the most helpful. I’ve been riding about 6 years now but don’t get to go all that often, so I was stuck in the “learning” phase for a few years, and will even admit I still feel like that now a little. But you have such a way of explaining things that my riding progressed tremendously just sitting in my living room watching you. I’ve got a couple friends who have just started and after I’ve shown them your channel they literally have progressed so much. Your delivery and genuine care for snowboarding and your audience is unmatched and seriously appreciated. And I think this video in particular only further proves that sentiment. So for real, thank you. You’ve made snowboarding so much more enjoyable for my friends and I.
Really useful tutorial of how to use a GoPro. I really like the examples and explanations (the flow of speaking is quite understandable and just as it should be - not so quick, not so slow) Well done Malcolm, i really enjoy your tutorials and clips!
For a selfie stick, I like to take my mom's ski pole and use tape to strap my GoPro to it. Usually, ski shops will have some sort of tape to put name tags on rental boards and skis.
What have you done to the real Malcom Moore with a mustache and wind-blown hair?? All kidding aside, detailed and analytical as ever! 🙏🏻 Love the background music, which is reminiscent of the one in the Torsional Twist video, my favorite of your tutorials so far! Please share how you train during the off-season. I have been doing some indoor carpet-boarding lately because of the lockdown here in the US. Stay healthy and safe! Incidentally, have you thought about setting up a Patreon page? 🙂
Hey Veronica! I'm sure my messy hair will come back soon, I'll be starting a cycling channel up in the summer, but for the moment I'm not even allowed to do that due to the lockdown rules over here in France. No more than 1km from your home, for no more than 1 hour, and not doing anything considered remotely dangerous! Yeah I may well make a fitness video or something, but as I'm not a personal trainer or anything it's not so much my thing, I'll have a think! And for patreon, I'll look into it!
Malcolm Moore OMG. France’s lockdown rules are stricter than here. I routinely see runners and cyclists on the streets and people having tailgate parties at the parking lot, maintaining 6 feet away, or at least initially. That’s saying a lot from France, which is known for its revolution for liberty! I do feel for you, but on the positive note, the virus will likely die down a lot sooner where you are than in the US because of the stricter measures in France. As Queen Elizabeth says, “We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return.” 🙂
El Grande is a great stick except when the ball joint shatter and the whole stick is shot. Tip: No worries if you’ve got a GoPro subscription as they’ll replace it free, loads of other perks too.
Awesome explanation of how to use the gopro. I even loved how you explained how to throw filters on it so it gives it that awesome look. Simple, informative and fun thanks man.
Wowwww that's some real pro tips. Initially, I thought this channel is old with some highly experienced RUclipsr. I was expecting something like 1M subscribers on your channel already. But then I realised it's a pretty new channel with the host having some serious video editing, camera handling and snowboarding skills. I hope you reach 1M Subscriber count real quick.
Hi malcolm, can you do a video on how you got to living on the slopes, and any tips on how to find a job in the ski villages like being a shop assistant? Do u find them after you move there for before? Thanks in advance
Nice tips! and thanks for yours videos. If the Corona Virus situation is better, go to Chile for snowboarding (June, July, August). We have simple skies resort installations, but the best mountains and back-countries slopes.
You're going to have to upgrade from that old iPhone soon! Your editing skills etc definitely improving though. There's a guy called Cody Blue on RUclips who I watched to get some editing tips. If you're using adobe premiere he has a good one to improve your audio, and another one on how to export your clips!
@@malcolmmoore Thanks man, you're not wrong I may nee to upgrade;) couldn't do angle 2 from your video as my camera falls off my stick. adobe sounds like a good plan also... big hugs brother
Hey Malcom, maybe you might try out another cool camera angle when riding. Extend the stick with the camera on the upper side and lay it on your backward shoulder, filming you from behind looking downward on you and your board🤙🏼 Keep it coming and stay safe mate🙋🏻♂️
Thank you Malcolm for making this video, definitely learned a lot about GoPro. Appreciate your lessons, especially that Down Unweighted Snowboard Turn, can't wait till next season to practice it. Hope you will have a long season next year at Alpe d'Huez.
I'm really hoping for a good season next year! Looking forward to getting back to the tutorials too, they really help me think about snowboarding in new ways as well! Thanks again 👍
This was so informative, thank you! I've recently gotten into snowboarding and recording myself with my GoPro, I currently have a selfie stick I've been using but its a bit too short. I'll be looking into the El Grande selfie stick now. Sick content btw, definitely leaving a subscribe. :)
Great video! Was looking to maybe borrow a camera for my next trip, this will be really useful, thanks Malcolm. Also fun to recognise some of the clips from your other videos, eg Serenne, Tunnel Run, Chasing Andy, racing Indy and Cheeky Marmotte... I've watched these loads of times whilst on my cross trainer to help motivate my exercise and visualise my next snowboarding holiday... and I've lost over 2 stone, so thank you :-) Can't wait for more vids from you once the lifts reopen. Stay healthy!
Ah nice, good to hear, yes I can't wait to be back this winter! I'm busy working this summer, I managed a little bit of snowboarding, but should be back in full force come December! 🙌
Yooo I didn't know the speedometer stuff was that easy! I was thinking you were using google maps or some shit to record your speed and path and then using adobe to edit it all together. My way sounds much harder.... lmao, great video! 👍
You really should give a shout-out to your chase-cam operator. Also, mention that Da Vinci Resolve is a free alternative to Adobe Premiere (better IMO).
@@malcolmmoore I would say if you are used to Premiere, it is not a hard jump to Resolve, unless you do a lot of grading or After Effects work (Resolve/Fusion uses nodes rather than layers). I was on Premiere before, but it got too expensive to maintain. Resolve is free with mostly all functionality, including stabilisation. And if you buy, its a one-time payment - and they have lots of updates, about 6 since i bought mine! And I do like how it makes you logically work - import media, arrange, then colour grade. Also has a decent sound processor.
Very informative. Wish I had seen this video before my ski trip with my new gopro hero 8 black, would have done better with all the details available here.
@@malcolmmoore I recently figured out that 60fps files, left alone in post and encoded at 60fps looks pretty terrible on YT, compared to if you encode that same 60fps footy at 30fps, instead. The pixelation during rapid cam movements is greatly reduced. That said, let's say you have a shot slowed down from 60fps. Would your max slowdown be 50% or 40%. Do you get where I'm going with that question? Will you see the stutter that should technically be there if encoded at 24 instead of 30fps? Just picking your brain, as your stuff looks great... even though you seem to have the automatic advantage of a LOT of bluebird days (GoPro footy ALWAYS looks fantastic on a bluebird day). ;-)
@@BarryP I tried messing around with loads of different settings when I started up to see what works well. 60fps played real time in a 24fps isn't ideal as the frames aren't dropped in an even manner. Most the time you don't really notice it to be honest but when you start to see it it's frustrating. Therefore I only film in 60fps when I know I'll be slowing it down. I have toyed with shooting my headcam videos in 60fps and exporting all of them at 30fps. But with my other videos I just happened to settle for a 24fps timeline. People say you get more 'cinematic' looking footage at 24fps compared to 30fps but honestly I couldn't really see much difference between the two. The benefit of using a 24fps timeline us that you can also low your footage down a little bit more, like you mentioned 60fps drops to 40% rather than 50%!
I really wish GoPro would update firmware to support "24-Rule" framerates (IE: 24, 48,72,96, etc). It would be so easy to do, and they'd be doing themselves a massive favor. It would pretty much unlock streamed visualizations of what their cameras are actually capable of. Here is my most recent snow project that was shot on a single 6 Black in 2.7k/60 (encoded the same way), with the cam on a stick at times and a Karma Grip at others: ruclips.net/video/qPc7SHSBIF4/видео.html It's not bad, but I truly wish I had exported it in 30fps. It would be much better, that way. I also wish I had learned to color grade, do color grading on the adjustment layer level, and ramp from 100-50-100% prior to making it (I have since learned all of the above, since being pretty much either fishing or stuck at home, frustratingly pounding away at my keyboard, during this unique time). If you have time, I would truly appreciate you having a look at this clip from a recent trip to New Hampshire. ruclips.net/video/BQpGUClGmj8/видео.html and making additional suggestions to the above either here or on that clip's url. This is raw 2.7k/60 stuff, that was only cut, and encoded likewise... No grading, no nothing... and it looks pretty good. My buddy and I (he was filming, I was riding) have TONS of footage like this from that trip, and we obviously can't really get together to do a timeline for the project. I'd love to hear what you would do with such footy, from a post standpoint. I would prefer to make the most of this time out of work, and get my GoPro snow learning-curve off the books, and have presets ready for when we can finally get together to choose what is in, and what is out. Any suggestions are appreciated. I know the videography tutorials are not your first choice. We would all rather be riding slush right now and talking about this over the summer. You may have keyed in on a very good skill that you have and that people really want to learn. Thank you, for engaging in this convo.
@@BarryP the second clip immediately looks so much more professional due to the stabilisation. If I'm going for a purely creative edit I normally start with the song. I try and slow mo on slow bits of the song, and cut on the beat, things like that. I would drop it into a 30fps timeline and then you can easily ramp between full and half speed. Colour wise it looks pretty good already, the nice things about shooting on snow is that you really don't need to worry about getting skin tones looking good. Just do white balance from the snow and then you can find a LUT that works. I don't normally go too intense with them, turn the opacity down, and it'll just have that slight look to it!
how does those cameras work though when u dont need a stick to put the camera on? is it a 360 camera or? seen it alot lately where they film themself skiing etc but cant see any stick.. now what i mean? =)
Great video and some very handy tips. My GoPro settings are pretty much the same as yours except I shoot in GoPro Flat as I find it easier to match up with my other cameras. I also shot my last trip to the Val Thorens with the Insta360 One X (you can view on my tiny channel!😊) . Great thing with this 360 camera is the selfie stick problem is no longer an issue and it'll capture all angles. 😉
@@malcolmmoore If you only shoot with just the GoPro and don't have to match footage from another camera, then I guess shooting in GoPro Color is good and the colours are pretty vibrant. But from all the youtube tutorials I've watched about colour grading GoPro footage is to shoot in Flat profile as it allows you more room to adjust the colours better/more without the footage breaking up/artifacting and this is what I've found to be the case too, and because of this, I also think with the Flat profile you may get better results with usiing LUTs due to better dynamic range. I guess then it will take a little bit more time to edit as may need to adjust the contrast and colour saturation with the Flat profile before applying a LUT and I guess time is of the essence when you need to post videos regularly. One tip I can advise you is not to shoot with auto white balance. AWB can sometimes change the colour of the footage when the light is variable, that is, if on a sunny day, a cloud covers the sun during filming, the white balance will also change to allow for the change in light affecting the colour balance making it harder to match a sequence of footage. I usually fix the white balance to prevent this to 5000k/5500k so if you apply a LUT it will have the same affect across the whole video. 👍
@@Jon-Chan ah nice thanks for the tip! Now you mention that I think it was something I used to do but my camera must have reverted to their default settings and I forgot about it!
Hey - Just discovered you and love the content. My daughter wants to create a Vlog of our Swedish Christmas trip with our GoPro and wants to know where you get the music from for your videos. Fingers crossed you get a full season to make more amazing videos.
@@malcolmmoore Hey I tried looking through the library but I can't find the track used in this video. Would you mind sharing what track was used here? Would be super appreciated, thanks!
Hey Malcolm, could you explain how you stabilize the footage? With as many details as possible, because I have an older gopro and the footage always comes out so shakey it's totally unusable. Another angle you could try out is to extend your gopro pole and position it behind your head looking down at you. It gives this video game third person view that looks very cool. The only downside is that it makes it twice as difficult to snowboard but I'm sure you'd be able to handle it.
Basically the newer gopros have digital stabilisation built into them. From the hero 7 onwards they will do alot of work for you. The new hero 9 even offers horizon levelling which pretty much makes that gimbal I use in this video redundant!
Nah I don't as they mess with the hypersmooth stabilisation. Would be cool to get some motion blur though, but the sacrifice of losing the digital stabilisation isn't worth it for me!
what about the video format ? 4:3 , 16:9 ? it is better when i film via helmcamera in 4:3 to get more sky and ground ? this part i miss..format and angle (wide, superwide e.g).
1. How can you expressly slo motion for let s say 3-5 seconds from a clip in Go pro app and then go back to normal speed? 2 what are you riding? Warpig or superpig? Thanks !
I dont actually edit within the gopro app I only use it to add the speedometer. I do my slow mos within Adobe Premiere Pro. Search ramped slow mo tutorial to see how it's done, but pretty easy! And I'm on the regular warpig!
Is the Quik editing format available for Mac? I can get it for iPad and iPhone, but not a desktop version. It appears you are using a desktop version. Thanks for a great video.
Would you recommend having the protective shell and does it performs better in the cold? I have nothing on my Hero8 Black and battery dies fast at -20C and down.. I've seen a guy board with a hoodie on his.. still looking for a solution. Thx for your video.
I'm now using the hero 10 and I don't have anything around that no, with the new white batteries they last pretty long in the cold. For the older ones you can get these wind fur things that are foam and help suppress wind noise, they might potentially keep it warmer.
but on what resolution are u recording when u have GPS enabled for gadgets ? because on gopro quik i cant see 2.7k 120 fps videos or 4k over 30fps videos ... i can see 1080 videos ( not the slowmotion one with high FPS ) but not the other ones. ( just got new gopro 8 , 2 days ago and im kinda stuck with all these things, last go pro i had was gopro 3, 5-6 years ago.. :S )
I think the quik app may have changed a little recently, I now actually use garmin virb edit to get speedos on my footage. But I mostly record on the 8 in 2.7k or sometimes 4k. But in 4k you lose the higher frame rates...
Get a gopro 10, haha nah, the 7 is more than fine, the first one to have hypersmooth I think. I have a gopro tips video, if you can find it, shouldn't be too hard, I go over everything there!
@@chrislewis1279 i would love to try it, the main difference looks like you would essentially be riding like you are carving all the time, as on a mountain board it won't be possible to side slip. This should make it good for practicing on mellow slopes but I imagine it gets tricky on anything steeper. Also looks like a really easy way to injure yourself!
I actually don't use it very often now as the hero 9 and 10 both have digital horizon levelling in linear mode, or in superview with the max lens mod. But a Google search for the noir quark matter should lead you to it if you still want!
Actually, if I know exactly which bit I want in slow mo when I film I will edit in 24fps. However if I'm unsure, I will just film in 60fpa and drop it into a 30fps timeline. That way it sounds and looks fine, but also I have the option of ramping to 50% when I want to!
Hey Malcolm love your videos! Question - My GoPro battery went almost instantly from 80% to 3% after shooting a 2 min video, I read online that it might be the cause of the low temperatures ( -10 or so.. ). Are you aware of this issue? If so, do you have any tips to overcome it?
There's a new battery for the 9 and 10 that is made more for winter conditions, otherwise just try and keep the battery warm by keeping your camera in your jacket when not using it 😉
4k or 2.7k. I upload most my vids in 2.7k because at higher frame rates you dont get 4k, therefore theres no point using it if you just need to drop it down anyway 👍
Dang you cover a lot of good tips in the video production space! We enjoy what you talk about, keep it up. Anytime you are in Phoenix let us know. If you want, direct message us @dmakproductions on IG and we can connect. You kill it!
@@malcolmmoore yeah I actually just picked up the 4 yesterday lmao, its my first go pro so I don't know a lot about it. I've been risking the biscuit and actually filming with my DSLR a whole lot. It wasn't recent that I took a nasty tumble and had a really big scare that the camera might have broke, that made me think about go pros lol
"it's called the El Grande, it's small it's compact, but when you pull it out it's long enough. If your pole's too short and you've got it out in front of you and you're filming yourself. I want you to see all the face shots I'm getting..." Just checking I'm on the correct video....

Revisited this video as a refresher
I use 1440p for snowboard POV vids. It is taller so I can get my board in the frame and still see down the slope. Thanks for making this video.
Ta fr including settings & LUTS, it’s those little tweaks that make them look slick
No Probs!

I really wish GoPro would update firmware to support "24-Rule" framerates (IE: 24, 48,72,96, etc). It would be so easy to do, and they'd be doing themselves a massive favor. It would pretty much unlock streamed visualizations of what their cameras are actually capable of.
Here is my most recent snow project that was shot on a single 6 Black in 2.7k/60 (encoded the same way), with the cam on a stick at times and a Karma Grip at others: ruclips.net/video/qPc7SHSBIF4/видео.html It's not bad, but I truly wish I had exported it in 30fps. It would be much better, that way. I also wish I had learned to color grade, do color grading on the adjustment layer level, and ramp from 100-50-100% prior to making it (I have since learned all of the above, since being pretty much either fishing or stuck at home, frustratingly pounding away at my keyboard, during this unique time).
If you have time, I would truly appreciate you having a look at this clip from a recent trip to New Hampshire. ruclips.net/video/BQpGUClGmj8/видео.html and making additional suggestions to the above either here or on that clip's url. This is raw 2.7k/60 stuff, that was only cut, and encoded likewise... No grading, no nothing... and it looks pretty good. My buddy and I (he was filming, I was riding) have TONS of footage like this from that trip, and we obviously can't really get together to do a timeline for the project. I'd love to hear what you would do with such footy, from a post standpoint. I would prefer to make the most of this time out of work, and get my GoPro snow learning-curve off the books, and have presets ready for when we can finally get together to choose what is in, and what is out. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I know the videography tutorials are not your first choice. We would all rather be riding slush right now and talking about this over the summer. You may have keyed in on a very good skill that you have and that people really want to learn. Thank you, for engaging in this convo.
@@BarryP the second clip immediately looks so much more professional due to the stabilisation. If I'm going for a purely creative edit I normally start with the song. I try and slow mo on slow bits of the song, and cut on the beat, things like that. I would drop it into a 30fps timeline and then you can easily ramp between full and half speed. Colour wise it looks pretty good already, the nice things about shooting on snow is that you really don't need to worry about getting skin tones looking good. Just do white balance from the snow and then you can find a LUT that works. I don't normally go too intense with them, turn the opacity down, and it'll just have that slight look to it!
how does those cameras work though when u dont need a stick to put the camera on? is it a 360 camera or? seen it alot lately where they film themself skiing etc but cant see any stick.. now what i mean? =)

Great video and some very handy tips. My GoPro settings are pretty much the same as yours except I shoot in GoPro Flat as I find it easier to match up with my other cameras. I also shot my last trip to the Val Thorens with the Insta360 One X (you can view on my tiny channel!😊) . Great thing with this 360 camera is the selfie stick problem is no longer an issue and it'll capture all angles. 😉
Ah yeah I shoot everything on the GoPro so that's no worries for me, do you find it takes long to edit the footage from flat?
@@malcolmmoore If you only shoot with just the GoPro and don't have to match footage from another camera, then I guess shooting in GoPro Color is good and the colours are pretty vibrant. But from all the youtube tutorials I've watched about colour grading GoPro footage is to shoot in Flat profile as it allows you more room to adjust the colours better/more without the footage breaking up/artifacting and this is what I've found to be the case too, and because of this, I also think with the Flat profile you may get better results with usiing LUTs due to better dynamic range. I guess then it will take a little bit more time to edit as may need to adjust the contrast and colour saturation with the Flat profile before applying a LUT and I guess time is of the essence when you need to post videos regularly.
One tip I can advise you is not to shoot with auto white balance. AWB can sometimes change the colour of the footage when the light is variable, that is, if on a sunny day, a cloud covers the sun during filming, the white balance will also change to allow for the change in light affecting the colour balance making it harder to match a sequence of footage. I usually fix the white balance to prevent this to 5000k/5500k so if you apply a LUT it will have the same affect across the whole video. 👍
@@Jon-Chan ah nice thanks for the tip! Now you mention that I think it was something I used to do but my camera must have reverted to their default settings and I forgot about it!
@@malcolmmoore Well I'm sure no one will really notice as they're more into watching the great content and tutorials on your channel! 😉
Hey - Just discovered you and love the content. My daughter wants to create a Vlog of our Swedish Christmas trip with our GoPro and wants to know where you get the music from for your videos. Fingers crossed you get a full season to make more amazing videos.
Hey Anthony, thanks! I just use the royalty free music from RUclips. Simply type RUclips music library into google and you'll find it!
@@malcolmmoore Hey I tried looking through the library but I can't find the track used in this video. Would you mind sharing what track was used here? Would be super appreciated, thanks!
subscribed! great videos man! do you use any ND filters on your gopro when shooting?
Thanks! And no I don't, they mess the hypersmooth stabilisation, so unless you're on a 3 axis gimbal I wouldn't bother!
Thanks a lot man! 😍 those LUTs are for “flat” or “gopro colour” profile?
I use them on gopro colour, but normally turn them down to about 20 to 30 percent!
Hey Malcolm, could you explain how you stabilize the footage? With as many details as possible, because I have an older gopro and the footage always comes out so shakey it's totally unusable.
Another angle you could try out is to extend your gopro pole and position it behind your head looking down at you. It gives this video game third person view that looks very cool. The only downside is that it makes it twice as difficult to snowboard but I'm sure you'd be able to handle it.
Basically the newer gopros have digital stabilisation built into them. From the hero 7 onwards they will do alot of work for you. The new hero 9 even offers horizon levelling which pretty much makes that gimbal I use in this video redundant!
@@malcolmmoore oh damn, I might have to look into buying a gopro again, thanks!
How do you record your audio? Do you use a small mic?
I have the 5 Hero and I do not see an option to select a gauge in the app
Looks like the GoPro Quick Desktop app doesn't support newer GoPros like the Hero 10. Are you still able to add gauges and stuff with newer GoPros?
Hey Malcolm, do you use any filters polar or ND filters? Thanks, your videos are amazing!
Nah I don't as they mess with the hypersmooth stabilisation. Would be cool to get some motion blur though, but the sacrifice of losing the digital stabilisation isn't worth it for me!
Hey Malcolm,
What video transition feature are using?
Around the 2.50 mark
Is that gimbal really needed for recording other people on slopes? I want to record my friends but im wondering if a gimbal is necessary
Thank you for this. Some people are teachers and some just teach. You are the former
Thankyou! 🙏
what about the video format ? 4:3 , 16:9 ? it is better when i film via helmcamera in 4:3 to get more sky and ground ? this part i miss..format and angle (wide, superwide e.g).
Do you film vertically cause tiktok and instagram format?
Commenting for the algorithm
My man! 🙏
could you let me know what ski jacket you have? it looks awesome and I'd like to have it
It's an old burton one but I've actually found a very similar one from this brand, the northbound jacket:
bit.ly/3bu56Rc
what is your editing software?
Superview or wide?
1. How can you expressly slo motion for let s say 3-5 seconds from a clip in Go pro app and then go back to normal speed?
2 what are you riding? Warpig or superpig? Thanks !
I dont actually edit within the gopro app I only use it to add the speedometer. I do my slow mos within Adobe Premiere Pro. Search ramped slow mo tutorial to see how it's done, but pretty easy! And I'm on the regular warpig!
How does this guy only have 10k subs?
Any more would be greatly appreciated! 👌
Malcolm Moore u deserve more man! Hug from 🇵🇹
Malcolm Moore hopefully one day might see you in your home mountain!
@@martimramalho7265 let me know if you're ever here! 🤙
Is the Quik editing format available for Mac? I can get it for iPad and iPhone, but not a desktop version. It appears you are using a desktop version. Thanks for a great video.
Yeah, I am using the desktop version here. Not sure if it is available on a mac though, to be honest I've now switched to using garmin virb edit.
Would you recommend having the protective shell and does it performs better in the cold? I have nothing on my Hero8 Black and battery dies fast at -20C and down.. I've seen a guy board with a hoodie on his.. still looking for a solution. Thx for your video.
I'm now using the hero 10 and I don't have anything around that no, with the new white batteries they last pretty long in the cold. For the older ones you can get these wind fur things that are foam and help suppress wind noise, they might potentially keep it warmer.
Hi, I have a question regarding the sticky helmet mount. Is it really safe and have you ever experienced that it fell off? Thanks!
Once it's on, you can't get it off 👌
but on what resolution are u recording when u have GPS enabled for gadgets ? because on gopro quik i cant see 2.7k 120 fps videos or 4k over 30fps videos ... i can see 1080 videos ( not the slowmotion one with high FPS ) but not the other ones. ( just got new gopro 8 , 2 days ago and im kinda stuck with all these things, last go pro i had was gopro 3, 5-6 years ago.. :S )
I think the quik app may have changed a little recently, I now actually use garmin virb edit to get speedos on my footage. But I mostly record on the 8 in 2.7k or sometimes 4k. But in 4k you lose the higher frame rates...
Could you post a link to where I can by the el grande stick please
Should be able to get it off the gopro website 👍
im on windows 10 and cant find a download for quik
I think GoPro may have sacked it off. I actually use Garmin Virb Edit now for my GPS stuff...
@@malcolmmoore I was able to get it from their website but it also said they are done working on it but they still allow you to download
Can you do the speed on iPhone as well?
Maybe, not sure exactly how though, but maybe theres an app!
What settings would you recommend for a go pro 7?
Get a gopro 10, haha nah, the 7 is more than fine, the first one to have hypersmooth I think. I have a gopro tips video, if you can find it, shouldn't be too hard, I go over everything there!
Are you familiar with mountain boarding? Could it be used to practice snowboard technique during the summer months?
Yeah I've never tried it but all board sports do have some crossover and similarity for sure! Can't do any harm!
Malcolm Moore it would be awesome to see you try it and give your impressions
@@chrislewis1279 i would love to try it, the main difference looks like you would essentially be riding like you are carving all the time, as on a mountain board it won't be possible to side slip. This should make it good for practicing on mellow slopes but I imagine it gets tricky on anything steeper. Also looks like a really easy way to injure yourself!
do you use an external mic or is the stand alone one sufficient enought?
I use an external one all the time now, but in my older videos I made do with the gopro mic
@@malcolmmoore what's your setup now?
Hey Malcom, do you have a name or link to this stabilisor adapter to keep the Horizont line? Thx🎉
I don't use it anymore, new gopros have horizon lock built in so I don't need it 👍
@@malcolmmoore we still have a gopro 7 without this Feature :/
@@koenigslabor noir quark matter, something like that, however you'll be better buying an older gopro 10 or 11 for the same price
Where can I find the gimple stabilizer you use to attach on the end of the el grande pole?
I actually don't use it very often now as the hero 9 and 10 both have digital horizon levelling in linear mode, or in superview with the max lens mod. But a Google search for the noir quark matter should lead you to it if you still want!
Question: are you editing on a 24fps timeline and interpreting your 30fps/60fps/120fps/240fps footage to 24fps?
In this video yeah, my more recent videos I'm filming in 60fps and editing on a 30fps timeline. I'm not sure what I prefer though!
Actually, if I know exactly which bit I want in slow mo when I film I will edit in 24fps. However if I'm unsure, I will just film in 60fpa and drop it into a 30fps timeline. That way it sounds and looks fine, but also I have the option of ramping to 50% when I want to!
vaya flipao
Hey Malcolm love your videos!
Question - My GoPro battery went almost instantly from 80% to 3% after shooting a 2 min video, I read online that it might be the cause of the low temperatures ( -10 or so.. ).
Are you aware of this issue? If so, do you have any tips to overcome it?
There's a new battery for the 9 and 10 that is made more for winter conditions, otherwise just try and keep the battery warm by keeping your camera in your jacket when not using it 😉
@@malcolmmoore Perfect thanks!
By the way, your videos were extremely helpful in my last vacation.. so thanks again man !
The 60m underwater housing also helps in really low temps
Do you use timeWarp in 1080p or 4k?
4k or 2.7k. I upload most my vids in 2.7k because at higher frame rates you dont get 4k, therefore theres no point using it if you just need to drop it down anyway 👍
Dang you cover a lot of good tips in the video production space! We enjoy what you talk about, keep it up. Anytime you are in Phoenix let us know. If you want, direct message us @dmakproductions on IG and we can connect. You kill it!
how do i get the GoPro app on my pc
It's free from the gopro website
Doe the guages thing work on the go pro 4?
Possibly! That's old though!
@@malcolmmoore yeah I actually just picked up the 4 yesterday lmao, its my first go pro so I don't know a lot about it. I've been risking the biscuit and actually filming with my DSLR a whole lot. It wasn't recent that I took a nasty tumble and had a really big scare that the camera might have broke, that made me think about go pros lol
The 4 is fine, but the digital stabilisation on the 8 onwards is next level 👍
Where is this filmed?
Alpe d'huez
what is the name of the background song???
Sorry really not sure, I made this one a while ago!
"it's called the El Grande, it's small it's compact, but when you pull it out it's long enough.
If your pole's too short and you've got it out in front of you and you're filming yourself.
I want you to see all the face shots I'm getting..."
Just checking I'm on the correct video....
Sounds like you were after something else! 🤣
