How to record Stars ? Star Trails Tutorial GoPro Hero 11 Black
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Star Trails effect is a new night mode feature that lets you capture the stars traveling across the dark sky without any complicated post production. In this video I explain what you need to record star trails with your GoPro Camera , show all the setting that I recommend and finally explain the difference between 3 different Star Trails Lengths.
This feature is currently only supported for GoPro Hero 11 Black and Hero 11 Black Mini and works like a regular Timelapse or nightlapse, everything happens within the camera, there is no post processing needed.

Have you tried star trails already ? :)
No, unfortunately, because i have the GoPro Hero 10
The seafog rolling in was the best, it looked like the scene was being painted, by far the coolest one of all.
Ohhh i was worriednit looks so bad but happy to hear it is not :)
I love this video. This is spectacular, and next time I'm in other than a city, I will try it. Everyone has their preferences. For me, I like the short trails one. Thanks for sharing this with the community
Thank you :) i only had 4 night to capture it and even though not everything went perfect i had to use what i got :)
Great examples, such a cool feature on the newest gopro. Thanx for the video :)
My pleasure! :) it was a really stressful project to pull of as i only had 4 nights to record, haha if i made a mistake this would be a game over coming home.without anything to show :)
I wanted to try this, so I searched for a video. I thought I’d have to watch several, but I think yours told me everything I need to know. Thanks!
I hope u enjoyed the video , i was really scared i wont be able to make.it happen but so.ehow the 3 exmples.i shot were good enough :)
I'm going to try this in conjunction with a rocket launch, which will be an orange parabolic arc across the sky. That process lasts about ~3.5 minutes and is pretty bright.
I think it could turn out pretty well. If nothing else, it will be an interesting experiment!
Thanks so much for the tutorial!!
Thanks for the video! Interesting results!
Thanks :) back then o was a.a.bit stressed during the night hoping it all gonna be ok ;) i had only 1 chance to.record.it
I like both. I think it depends on what mood you want to convey in a video. Both look awesome.
Nice.
Thank you
Excellent comparison
Tomasz, you always make such great videos!
The music, I love it!
The fact that you show what someone can mess up, like the “sea fog” scenario, or the later when you pressed the shutter before sunset leaving the whole image like in day time was nice to add.
I know I made a great choice when I subscribed to your channel.
Keep posting!
Take care!
Thank you for your support !
I tried for the first time to capture stars with the default settings and got a 17 second black screen. I'll try again with the settings you suggested. Thank you so much for this.
;) just remember to look for the dark place away from light sources , use my settings and u gonna be fine ,
Beautiful !
Thank you it was a pleasure to do this project :)
I bought a Hero 11 and I'm learning to use it. I found u video and thought it was amazing! Hero 11 is awesome!
Thank you so much for your kind words : workong on this video was a pleasure :)
This video came at the perfect time! I’ve been looking to perfect my own setup. I’ve found a really cool angle although it is a bit risky. I put it on my GoPro magnetic clip and I attach it to my roof from my balcony. (The clip part on a shingle, not the magnet) I can’t say it’s safe for everyone but I’ve found my setup to be particularly solid. I have to figure out a way to get a battery pack cable up there somehow next. Thanks for the video, love the content!
Look for usb c pass through door it comes with a long charging cable :) maybe that helps
Great video
Thanks man, big like 100!
Thats was a really difficult project for me , i only had one shot per night and happy that i somehow got all these shots and made it worked
@@Tomasz.Nowacki You have knowledge, that is enough for success.
Perfect!
Happy u like it :)
This is a nice video.
Thank you ! Im hoping to do.a.part 3 light painting when i come back home :)
So are these settings just for a effect of a picture or video. I try to record it shows time and stops ? 😢 am i not understand the process of this ? Sorry if stupid question
Thanx Tomasz,Do you know the best Settings for Aurora Borealis on a Hero 11 Black ? (Newbee)
Unfortunately i have never seen aurora :)
How long do u put the GoPro outside?
Boa noite
Primeiramente obrigado pelo seu vídeo onde tem muitas dicas importantes para nós marinheiro de primeira viagem no rastro das estrelas. Comprei a minha Hero11 tem 3 meses e hoje fui experimentar o modo rastro das estrelas no modo máximo dela. Mas coloquei o Power bank. Fiquei surpreso que ela não gravou e simplesmente desligou. Depois de 2 horas olhei e fiquei decepcionado por que aconteceu isso. Te pergunto! Isso é normal de acontecer? Ou pode ser defeito da câmera? Pois ela ainda se for defeito está na garantia .
Aguardo sua ajuda.
Um abraço do seu amigo Brasileiro 🇧🇷 Alexandre.
can you recommend a good powerbank for gopro11 or 12 ? just for startrails all night
I dont use one , for that project i used GoPro Volta but u can also check telesin rechargable selfie stick :)
Thanks for the tips. I just bought a GoPro11 instead of the newer 12. Is there any chance you can list your settings for each shot in your comments. I find a lot of RUclipsrs do not do this. It would be a big help to us who are learning. Thanks and some great video. Cheers
I think i listed my exact settings before showing the examples :) havent i ?? I think i did ;)
7:30 Yeah, that's my biggest issue/complaint with the GoPro "star trails" mode: whatever light is/was present, it keeps it in the shot for the total duration.
So you have to be super mindful of streetlights, car lights, passerbys with any lights, even turning on YOUR own light (head lamp to check on the gopro), etc. Bc otherwise it gets "baked in" to the video.
I wish it acted more like a time-lapse, where if there is a light but it passes thru, it will temporarily get brighter, but then get dark again as it keeps recording.
BUT that's incredibly nitpicky 😅 considering it's all created for you at a push of a button. That's pretty amazing.
It only happens with MAX setting , but yes u got the point if it happens that a car droves by and lights up your frame ypur whole night might be destroyed
Ya it happened to me too just for 2 seconds of the 8
great video, where exactly is this place / spot with the sea fog at 6:00 ? ...what time of year? love that view.
Its in Chiang Mai city in northern Thailand, once you are there you can find sb to take you there with a group tour :)
I’m going to be on a dive boat overnight. I’m sure the boat will be rocking back and forth throughout the night. We will be several miles from shore with few ship lights so the night sky will be intensely dark. Is it possible to capture any star trails at all from a gently moving platform?
Sorry for late reply , the star project needs camera to be perfectly still , every photo takes between 15 - 30 sec of exposure it needs to be rock solid
Great video,would ISO 400 (min and max) work OK,I don't want any grain in my video.
Yes that also work well thoug u should probably get fewer stars this way :)
@@Tomasz.Nowacki Ah OK i`ll change back too ISO 800,thanks for replying :)
ถ่ายที่แพร่ thailand very good 👍
This trip was amazing and Thailand is a very beautiful country :)
Any chance you have a link to the places you stayed. Sorry this is off topic but after several trips to the country we are looking for something different....and staying out of the city would be different and fun : )
Pld contact me on instsgram
Hi there thanks for making this video how long should I record to get a good long star trail? Thanks
Ideally a whole night :)
@@Tomasz.Nowacki Hi Thanks for replying if whole night do I need a big SD card? my 256GB only shows 3hr under 4k star trail setting? Thanks
Ohh it doesnt take that much space really i used 64gb card for a whole night and got 20 ir 30 sec video
@@Tomasz.Nowacki Hi Thanks for the information will try it next time i go camping
What is the minimum time that you think should be taken?
It would.be best if you set it for a whole night :) with 30.sec exposure u shluld have 20 or 30 sec footage
How long does it take to shoot this time lapse? With 5.3K resolution you don't have overheating?
No overheating , this mode is not that much demanding for the camera,
Well it took me.like me a whole.night to get my samples but i think the camera.managed to revord.for.like 8 or 10 hours in total
I used GoPro volta to supply the energy throughout the night
@@Tomasz.Nowacki And how big are the files with so many hours? Is 128gb memory card enough?
They are small , think of it as a slide of photos rather tham a movie, it shouldn't be bigger than 1 or 2 gb
@@Tomasz.Nowacki 🙏thank you!!
How much time take to do a short star trail video
It takes a whole night to get like 10- 13 seconds , on a single battery u record for 3h something it’s not really much maybe u get 3-5 seconds out of it
Have you noticed a better direction to get more pleasing shots. For example towards the North Star?
North star turn out to be really useful for Max trail lenght as it males tge centre of that circle :) but other than than that i havent
Short star trail is better I think. Do you have video tutorial of how to take awesome photos and videos of the stars and the moon?
Where i live its.pretty gard to see the stars so to make that video i had to go on a trip to northern parts of the country into the wild ^^ so u fortunately this is not something i cam do often
@@Tomasz.Nowacki i see, could you tell me what would be the best setting to make those moon and stars photography? Here?
The moon is what you probanly want to.avoid anf vhoose a night with no moon as u will.see more stars this way, thats what i did for my project and went on a trip k owing that there will.be no moon which can destroy a nightlapse,
As for.photos i haveny really taken that many photos to be honest but i can recommend you from what i assume
Raw night photo, shutter speed 15-30 s (ideally 30) , turn off LED All, iso 400 or 800 , some.people might recommend 1600 byt its very grainy , color natural or gopro, ev 0, wb 3200 or auto, sharpness low,
@@Tomasz.Nowacki ohhh I didn’t know about the moon, but that’s a great advice, and thank you very much for the settings tips too. Saludos desde Mexico!
My pleasure :)
👍👍👍 süper
Thank you :)
Hi! how did you edit, did you remove the noise?
I only i creased brigtness in the clips in all 3, with short i had to change white balanve as it was yellowish/ brownish etc
@@Tomasz.Nowacki so you have not painted, no color correction?
@@nurkz_travel4494 only the short trails was fixed the rest i only inreased highlights / brightness i didnt adjust anything
But of course i mean only the footage from star trails
@@Tomasz.Nowacki can you show how you did it? I just don't have experience.
Tried this but the screen was all white
Have you pressed record button before nightfall ? Or perhaps there was too much artificial light ?
dla mnie pierwszy lepszy (short) widać jakiś ruch a te malowanie kresek to trochę słabe
Mi osobiscie najbardziej podoba sie long :)
the earth is flat!!
It sure is haha ^^
