Thanks JEFF! I am going to go pick up a Hero 11 tomorrow while I got mountain biking here in Hot Springs, AR. I appreciate the tips on the settings and the best way to wear the GoPro with a chest mount.
Thank you for this video. Most of us are never going to be pro RUclipsrs, but tons of like to video our rides. Creating memories that don’t suck helps all of us enjoy and share our experiences.
07:58 - This is so true! My dad fell off a log and landed on his check with his arms infront of him, but the gopro sticking out bruised his ribs, good thing it wasn't too serious. Then a week later crashed with a full face helmet with a chin mounted GoPro and that hurt a lot more when the GoPro hit his chest. As you've said there's risk whenever we strap a camera, probably why EWS or DH racers are only allowed to have a gopro at the top of their helmets where it could easily break away.
I'm a fan of the chest mount over the chin mount. I want to see the hands, it feels more immersive. With less of the hands and bars it feels more like a drone video. I'm still on the Hero 7 myself. Cheers and great videos!👍
For those camera nerds out there. The Hero 11 has the same sensor size as the hero 7, but with more pixels. The hero 11 has a 27MP sensor, while the hero 7 has 12MP. So the density of more pixels means that they have to be smaller in order to fit into the same sensor size! Smaller pixel size means less light into the sensor, which means the camera has to compensate with lowering the shutter speed. Lower shutter means worse image stabilization. This is why the hero 7 is probably the best one of all the gopros for low light situations. But hyperview is nice though. For Jeff: if you download gopro Labs, you can set the minimum shutter speed to 1/240th seconds. It's worth a try if you use gopros a lot.
Thanks for the info!!! Interesting I had never googled the sensors in these. I feel like a 1/50th shutter should be fine, iirc we used to just set all our GoPros to that bitd- all of us RUclipsrs at least.
@@JeffKendallWeed 1/50 will be fine with a gimbal, but without a gimbal you need at least 1/100 on the Hero 7. On the other models I found that I needed at least 1/200 to make it work.
@@JeffKendallWeed Markus is correct, the stabilization will work much better at 1/200 or less. The reason is that even though GoPro uses gyro-assisted stabilization, any motion blur captured in video will create an illusion of shaking no matter how well hypersmooth is working. You will see this effect starting to emerge at around 1/180 and just get worse and worse as you approach 1/50. At 1/240 or less you will basically get perfect stabilization and very smooth video (especially with 60fps), but at the expense of more ISO noise.
@@JeffKendallWeed . I have updated my thinking. While we agree it might be a little better picture, if it is less safe for you then I think we all would still enjoy the other setup.
Hi Jeff. Great video! The best chest mount by far is an USWE backpack with their optional GoPro harness attachment. It sits so solid and jiggles much less than any other chest mount I’ve tried. 👍🏻🙂
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to try those. When I bought a couple USWE packs last year, I found the packs themselves to bounce around quite a bit, though I do like the convenience of the X-strap. The USWE materials and finish was also subpar compared to CamelBak, Dakine, and Osprey. I should give them another shot! Thanks!
@@JeffKendallWeed I’m not sure if this helps, but I’ve found that getting the adjustment just right is crucial. If the pack sits too high or even a tiny bit too loose, it bounces around. 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻
It would be interesting to see the hero 11 with max lens mod and horizon lock enabled. I use a hero10 vertically on my chesty (I mainly post on IG) with the max lens mod and horizon lock enable. I like it but you do get the "droopy handlebars". Enjoy the videos!
I do most of my mtb filming with a chest mount. I do prefer that angle more than any other. But if I'm riding some place that I feel a full face is necessary I'll use the chin bar set up as a second angle to the chest mount. By the way, great video. It was very informative
Thanks Maritime! Agreed on chest mount. I did learn that chinbar shows the trail better, and perhaps another rider, but chesty is better for solo rider…
You can use Gyroflow post stabilization that can do horizon lock during post processing at any point in the footage. There is a firmware that can do the same for the GP7. As a FPV pilot & mtb rider… I learned long ago there is no need for a gimbal in the year 2022.
Jeff I thought your Hero 11 Chin mount looked best of the examples you played today. My focus was on the trail and your riding, and the color was much better to my eyes.
Thanks for watching! Why do I have multiple Adventure Awaits stickers in my collection, btw? Was That also a Jenson USA motto for a while, or did you give/send them to me?
One thing to consider with the chinmounts are that your neck is it's own kind of Gimbal. I noticed (in good lights conditions) that you can even dial down the stabilization and get a wider image. I still switch from chest to chin depending if I will be wearing the fullface or not.
That’s the whole point of my video- the wider FOV is more important than the higher stabilization. Especially in low light. I chest mount with the lowest form of stabilization now and it works OK!
@@JeffKendallWeed Depends on the trail as well. If I know I'm going down a chunkaton I will use the max setting, but in flow trail I will definitely dial it down when I use the chest mount. I got recommended a program that is very neat it is called Gyroflow (it's free). It allows you to stabilize in post like the gopro does on the fly. The awesome thing is that you can specifically choose the amount of croping/stabilization you need or want.
Great video, thank you for putting this together. I think you should put together a cheat sheet with different riding scenarios and your recommended gopro settings on you patreon, thats the kind of thing i would sign up for...
Mark Matthews uses 360 cams now. They work well and he uses chest mount. I’ve been watching a lot of Dale Stone, Vancan and Dangerous Dave and they’re videos look great with chin mount
Riding the new Ripmo.....lucky guy! When are we going to go and demo the Oso together?? I have 3867 miles on my Ripmo already and every ride brings a smile to my face, I'm curious how much different the new rear triangle feels. I prefer the gimble, it just looks more natural, seems like GoPro is making small leaps to ensure each leap is increasing profits (just my opinion). like always, great video Jeff!
My GPH10 crashes with the media mod as well. The sound is so much better with it though. I guess I need to ditch it (the door latch is breaking anyway) and deal with dropping the DBs in videos. I run a chest mount for MTB, helmet mount for skydiving, and a chin mount for moto.
I still use Go Pro Hero 7 Black with PeauPro87 3.37mm No distortion lens, many youtubers mention the GoPro effect as they call it, the fish eye lens distortion, this is not an issue I have with the lens, the FOV is slightly narrower, but image looks natural. For me showing how the trail actually is is important, with this lens you can see the actual steepness, and difficulty. I won't upgrade until I can get an Gopro with a lens like that.
This video totally got me to stick with my Hero 7 rather than purchase an 11 - gotta find a gimbal with the extension now, seems like that would help with the bounciness.
HiJeff ! I don’t know much about video but I do know that your riding videos (along with those of Remy Metailler) are the ones that I enjoy watching the most, and of course your amazing riding style has everything to do with that but your way of filming also beacause it’s really good and immersive. When I’m stuck at home or work it’s your videos that give me the most realistic riding sensations (if that even means anything ˆˆ) I just want to take my bike out on the trails 🤟🤟😁
prefers gopro 4/7 with mechanical image stabilization due to its smoothness. It does not freeze every frame, making the effect more pleasing to the eye. And of course fixed on the chest. Wide:-)
Looking for a action cam, as an hobby rider wanting videos for myself/insta i guess a 140€ hero 7 is a better choice than 300€ hero 11, can get a nice set of brakes for the difference
Nice job Jeff! Love the detailed look on what you were using till now. I agree with all the settings on the GoPro, superview for sure, Hyperview looks so bad in my opinion. Other than that I also use 5500k, flat color, and EV comp -1. Where I differ is I use hyperboost for stabilization and 30fps for recording. BTW there is a setting for "auto gimble" mode called horizon leveling.
Ah it’s too dark here in the PNW for either 30 fps or hyperboost stabilization. Gotta go lower stabilization and wider FOV for best overall footage in these parts
I appreciate the technical explanation. Saved me from buying the Max mod. I bought a hero 10 from a 7, but have never had a gimbal. I'll try your 11 settings on my 10. A lot of times my footage is un-usable because I also live in the PNW and have been having horrible stabilization.
Watched this then thought how do my settings compare and whaddya know mine are the exact same and yes I prefer the chesty pov too! Shame I do not possess your bike riding skills though 😂
Suprised there was no mention of the new 8:7 aspect ratio, would like to know if that would be a better bet than using 4:3 or 16:9 and how Jefff converts his footage for social media beyond youtube.
I had no idea there are different aspect ratios avail. But I primarily film for RUclips so I’ll always keep everything at 16:9. When I make vids for Instagram/shorts/Facebook I just crop 1350x1080 in premiere (usually 63% scaled) and export. There is almost zero return on time invested to instagram, so I rarely worry about it beyond repurposing old RUclips clips.
I like watching video from a chin mount but I absolutely hate riding with a camera on the chin bar. I also prefer a halfshell helmet over a full face unless its necessary/a good idea like at a bike park. So I don’t fault you for sticking with the chest mount.
Have you tried doing the stabilization in post using ReelSteady software? That is still electronic stabilization but it’s meant to be better than the in-camera EIS. Would be interested to see a compare-and-contrast video that includes ReelSteady! Cheers and thanks for all the great content!
Ya know, I tried years ago and the results were disastrous! My workflow is already pretty arduous, and picture quality isn’t very important when making videos (a good video is really just a podcast at the end of the day) so I’ll likely never do post stabilization unless absolutely necessary
Cheers thanks for the reply! I hear you re. not much time for post-processing! One last thing I’ll say (which you may already know) is that recently ReelSteady put out version 2.0 which is meant to be much-improved and actually GoPro bought them out an integrated their software into the GoPro editor. Anyway sounds like you’re already pretty dialled with your setup! Cheers and keep the great content coming!
Hey Jeff, what do you do for audio? Any external mic or windscreen on the internal mic? Curious about this and maybe what you change the setting to in the camera.
Any reason you use the 4k over the 5.3k resolution? Or do you use 4k for compatibility with RUclips? I’m very novice on the subject and recently purchased the Hero 11 after owning a Hero 3 for close to a decade.
@@JeffKendallWeed The MLM allowed wider fov at the higher resolution and it enable Horizon Lock so you could start recording holding the camera vertically then leave it horizontally to continue to record vertiacally.
Have you tried the DJI Osmo Action 4 yet or the GoPro 12? I am debating between these two cams and keep hearing a lot of good things about the DJI but there's not a lot of MTB videos yet with that cam.
Be careful RUclips is full of sponsored videos / influencers promoting DJI OA3/4. It very hard to get an honest comparison. I purchased an OA4 are watching a load, ended up returning it and going for a GP11. The OA4 was marginally better in very low light but in all other scenarios the GP just seemed to hold the detail and textures. OA4 always seemed to be to slow at adjusting exposure in fast changing scenes
Put your ISO at 3200 or even 6400. Not much more "grain" than 1600 and definitely smoother footage than limiting to 1600 ISO. More light to the sensor = more stabilization.
While the video from the gimbal mounted 7 may look better, the hassle hardly seems worth it for someone who isn't trying to make RUclips 'pay'. I'll take the simplicity of a chest-mounted camera for MTB and chin-bar mount for the moto (though you often lose the bars when standing... and end up with drone-like footage...). I do like the KLIM helmet chin mount for the moto.
Agreed 100%- and I’m shifting to a 50/50 mix of gimbal H7 and straight up H11 for most rides now. Chin bar moto mount has been good for ADV especially, as a lot of the best footage is when something is happening and I’m not even looking at the bike in the first place!
@@JeffKendallWeed I've tried the chest mount on the dual sport, and it can be ok, but clearly, for ADV riding a chin mount is the way to go. I've even put a smaller wind deflector on my 1190 to open up the view from the chin. Haven't taken much footage yet with the smaller screen, but so far it appears to work nicely.
I think the 11 on the chin is best. It's the closest to what my eyes actually see while riding. One thing I don't love about your videos is how much handlebar is in my screen. Because it's like I'm staring at my stem. And that's poor technique!
Hi Jeff ! Are you using those kind of wind protection for Gopro 11 ? I am usually riding on very windy summits, and the footage goes to hell ever that it isepic trail.
True. I've been really happy with my recent iPhone, I've been posting more and more footage with it, the HDR works awesome. One more step to interpret the footage in premiere, but iPhone is SO MUCH more durable than my old RX100!
Great video, thanks! Try the GoPro Labs. It's killer! You just show the bar code from your phone to the camera, and it changes all the settings. You can limit the shutter speed so the hypersmooth is not braking up. Here is my video with the GoPro10 with the max shutter angle in 45. Sorry about slow fatbiking :-) ruclips.net/video/l7jc89hRgKw/видео.html
The best angle is from my own bike and no camera. Just go and ride. Put $350 into your bike not a camera. Besides someone gave me a Gopro as a gift and it died in 15min. Sent it too Gopro under warranty and was told that the main board was not good and not covered but I could trade it in for a new one. F Gopro and their customer service.

I've always loved the gimbal effect, the gimbal has slight jitters every little bit and I love that feel.

Chest mount / gimbal combo looks the best .

chest mounted gimbal is the way
I also think there are smaller gimbals from other brads wich maybe dont limmit the movement as much
Jeff, you should do a video on “long shocking” the Ripmo with a 216x63 like the EWS team (with a 170 fork)
About a time :) you will be super happy w 11
Hero 7 with the gimbal is my favorite but you have the hero 11 fine tuned pretty well. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Jeff, what do you do for audio? Any external mic or windscreen on the internal mic? Curious about this and maybe what you change the setting to in the camera.
Any reason you use the 4k over the 5.3k resolution? Or do you use 4k for compatibility with RUclips? I’m very novice on the subject and recently purchased the Hero 11 after owning a Hero 3 for close to a decade.
I've used the Max Lens Mod with stabilization on the 9 and 10 on thousands of clips so not sure what's going on with your camera.
Great video! I have a gopro 7, I’m also into MTB is it possible Jeff can I ask your set up on go pro 7? TIA
What about the hero 11 mini?
Sounds expensive 😂
Chin mount is by far the best. Ask Skills with Phil
I’ll ask Phil next time I see him!
@@JeffKendallWeed The MLM allowed wider fov at the higher resolution and it enable Horizon Lock so you could start recording holding the camera vertically then leave it horizontally to continue to record vertiacally.

Nope, but I generally stick to Sandisk.

Hi Jeff ! Are you using those kind of wind protection for Gopro 11 ? I am usually riding on very windy summits, and the footage goes to hell ever that it isepic trail.
No I record audio externally on a separate audio recorder, then synch it in post.
Shocking that there is still no HDR video on GoPro in 2022! Every smartphone has been able to do this for years
True. I've been really happy with my recent iPhone, I've been posting more and more footage with it, the HDR works awesome. One more step to interpret the footage in premiere, but iPhone is SO MUCH more durable than my old RX100!
My eyes are bleeding from 24fps. I cant watch action vids with 24 fps.
gimble all the way
Great video, thanks! Try the GoPro Labs. It's killer! You just show the bar code from your phone to the camera, and it changes all the settings. You can limit the shutter speed so the hypersmooth is not braking up. Here is my video with the GoPro10 with the max shutter angle in 45. Sorry about slow fatbiking :-) ruclips.net/video/l7jc89hRgKw/видео.html
to me the intro vid on your settings looks worse :D
The best angle is from my own bike and no camera. Just go and ride. Put $350 into your bike not a camera. Besides someone gave me a Gopro as a gift and it died in 15min. Sent it too Gopro under warranty and was told that the main board was not good and not covered but I could trade it in for a new one. F Gopro and their customer service.
Turn off the stabilization and use ReelSteady...
