- These are my favorite settings for underwater use with the GoPro Hero 12 that will give you the best in camera results with minimal editing needed in post processing. We will also go through setting up different shooting profiles by using presets.

This is awesome! Easiest way to get the most out of gopro. Thanks for that! Would you also share with us your editing process one day? Im interested to see that, too
Thanks man! Absolutely, I just pan on making a similar video about shooting in log/color correction, ect…
@@scottbauerbelow that would be awesome! :)
Hello! i'm going to snorkel in Maldives in few weeks and I just got my first GoPro H12 with max lens 2.0 Mod.
Do you recommend this lens to film underwater or should I just go with the stock one ?
Also, should I prioritize high FPS againt image quality to get beautiful slow motion ?
I'll be recording only vertically to post on social medias like instagram so I don't really matter about 2K or 4K quality
The highest FPS setting I found was 100FPS at 1080P
That’s exciting…the highest fps is 240 frames per second and you do have to down res to 2.7k…I think it looks great though
As far as the lens mod, that will give you horizon leveling with the ability to shoot wide as opposed to just being confined to linear and it will look really stable like it is on a gimbal….i have used these underwater and they work great, you do have to get a special housing to fit it though, you can go without the housing but be sure to rinse your GoPro thoroughly after using it in the saltwater….i would always recommend using the housing, enjoy the trip!
Hi Scott, thanks for the super helpful video! Got to try my GoPro with your settings today. Got a question, what do you use for post processing?
Als, my attempt to take nudi branches met with terrible blur. Is half decent macro possible at all with GoPro? How to them focused?
Another great video. That honu (turtle) need a good scrub down.☺
Thank you! Yes he does, he’s growing an entire eco system on his back lol
@@scottbauerbelow Thanks for the morning laugh.
Hi Scott, this was a big help. We are new to the gopro, and just recently bought a hero12. My wife took it snorkeling on a bareboat charter out of la Paz, mexico, and all of the videos were pixelating and not very clear. Now that we are back in network coverage, I am trying to discover how to do this better before our next trip. Also, what do you recommend for postprocessing SW? And is the premium editing subscription on the Quik app worth getting?
Hi! Feel free to Facebook me and I can give you some info through messenger…do you have any idea what settings were used?
Hi Scott! Great guide. What are your views on 4K/120FPS? I was experimenting with that (instead of 2.7K/240 or 4K/60) and thinking it's a good balance between frame rate and resolution: as I can slow down to 4x to get slomo, or just skip frames in post to have a realtime normal video from a single preset. But I'm not sure if it's a good "nice for both worlds" setting or a terrible compromise of quality. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
thanks for the question! 4k120 works great but it depends on what the right tool is for the job! If you really want to slow things down then shooting in 2.7K is a necessary sacrifice in resolution. Keep in mind that 2.7k vs 4k is resolution not necessarily quality and most people won’t even be able to see that resolution on the display screen they are watching from…good luck on your videos!
Ill go scuba diving next month. Maybe I can use these presets!
Good luck!
I jumped up from the Hero 7 Black to the 12 Black. Big changes! Thanks for the tips. Can I ask what program you use for post processing? The old program I am using is totally outdated. I need to update it to something new, like I did the GoPro.
I just went from a Hero 4 to the 12 Black. It’s like transitioning from a Ford Model T to a current Ford Mustang Shelby!
do you recommend super view. I enjoy super view while scuba diving
Yeah I do like superview, just not hyperview it’s too wide and starts to degrade the image
Hi, can I use this setting for shooting at shallow depth (snorkeling)? I would only give ISO 600 max? Thanks.
Yeah I would say 400 max would be good for snorkeling….you should have pretty good lighting at that depth
Hi do you recommend the go pro 12 or the dji action 4?
I think if you are starting from scratch I would go with the DJI over the GoPro…I choose to keep the hero 12 because the difference isn’t big enough to justify leaving behind the whole GoPro ecosystem behind (batteries, chargers, housings, ect…) and there are a few things I like better about the GoPro
Is it possible to change the preset modes in the dive case with the hero 12? I haven't been able to do it with mine.
Yes, look for my GoPro hero 12 “getting started” video where I cover how to do that…it’s the side button and the top button at the same time
@@scottbauerbelow not sure if it's my timing, but both buttons together don't do it. However, press & hold power, then hit the shutter does it every time for me.
Whoa whoa whoa, How do you rotate through settings when there is a watyerproof case on ?
You don't. Got to take the case off. Outside the water of course. Ok, one meter below the water level it should be ok too, but then you risk the gopro dropping to the bottom of the water.
Looking at my snorkeling videos after a trip and they all have the same problem as soon as I start shooting underwater with my new GoPro Hero 10 - crackling sound, not the popping problem I have heard about (unrelated to underwater video) but a steady crackling underwater that is distracting. I don't hear this in the few GoPro underwater videos on RUclips that don't have music. Is there a setting I need to change? Any info you can share? Thanks!
Interesting…..you may want to check the battery door to make sure it’s not leaking….i think that was causing some issues on my 9 where I was getting crackling….also, coral reefshave a crackling noise as well when they are healthy just in case you are hearing that ; )
Im curious on the second profile are all the settings the same as tye first profile except L+? Or ? Confused on that. Thanks.
This is so that you can have two different perspectives to shoot with that you can edit into a video sequence. For example you would first get a wide shot of the scene, then you can get tighter shots (linear) of different details in the scene….maybe a wide shot of a grouper in his environment then a tighter portrait style shot of his face…
@@scottbauerbelow @scottbauerbelow Hello, yes I understand. What I am wondering is the first preset: 4k/16:9/W/auto boost on/EV -0.5/iso100:800. On the second preset are you also using these exact settings and only changing the W to L+? Or are you starting with gopros base and only changing W to L+, which would leave fr at 30, EV at 0, iso at 100/1600 etc... Sorry for the confusing question. Just want to make sure I get these settings correct.
Ive got the 12 coming and plan on snorking in Egypt do I need a case or is it good to go out the box ?
It is good to go out of the box but salt water is corrosive and will eventually damage your GoPro, I would recommend to use the housing….enjoy your trip!
@scottbauerbelow Thank you. I've ordered one that comes with add on filters.
If I hadn't have watched you're video I wouldn't have known adding red colour balance or a filter will make the colours pop underwater more.
If you choose HDR setting you’re unable to adjust the EV comp setting, is this an issue underwater? Thanks.
Not being able to change EV comp shouldn’t be an issue, however I just haven’t been a fan of how HDR looks underwater
Which do you prefer - this or the dji Osmo action 4?
I’m leaning on the side of GoPro but I like them both….cant really go wrong either way
I had the Osmo four but my God the application with the iPhone very bad to watch the videos I had to do a trick but it was still very uncomfortable. I had to return it and I took the GoPro 12 Black.
I prefer the GoPro 12 to be honest lol
I still have the hero 5 and I still dont know everything. Sometimes when there are SO MANY FEATURES on a camera it can become OVERWHELMING to a NEW customer, even intimidating. I know I am not the only one who wonders why they need all those features?
Which is why i will stay with my Hero 5 and Hero 360 camera
I agree with you about the other features, I would encourage you to try the newer GoPros hero 11’s or hero 12s and you will notice a dramatic difference in your image quality….especially with white balance and color underwater
What video editing software do you use?
I use adobe premiere
