If you are attempting to purchase the ND1000 filter for your GoPro, please note that I reached out to Freewell and per Freewell new stock is on the way to retailers.
Thank you so much for this video. Easy to follow. I didn’t know you could take shot like the moving water like this on the go pro. I’m so keen to go out and give this a shot.
You’re welcome. Yes, it’s pretty neat what the GoPro can do with that $20 ND1000 filter. I was impressed at the quality of photo that could be created with this tiny little action camera.
Thank you once again for this video, thank you for not talking to fast as well, its very clear and easy for us to understand. more power to your channel.
Thanks for the inspiring video. I really need to take my Freewell ND1000 out more. The camera is still waterproof without the cover glass. You just want to be careful if you get dirty water on the lens (wash it with clean water before wiping it). Also, you wouldn't want the gap between the Freewell ND filter and the lens filling up with water if it does leak. Note that voice control is another way to avoid shake. - Full disclosure: I work for GoPro
I appreciate your feedback and the clarity you have added here. I need to do more with the voice control aspect. I’m the type of person who still likes something to touch or tap to start or stop a function but the voice control has indeed come a long way on the GoPro.
Another great video. I love how you make it so simple and clear on what to do, no fluff or wasted space at all. I can’t seem to figure out how to do that when I make videos, I talk too much 😛
Weird question, can I put the Quik app on more than one phone? My girlfriend and I both use the GoPro and she wants to put the app on her iPhone. Great photos!
Thank you. When I tested ND32 I found this to not be enough stops of light being filtered out. If I used a shutter speed of two seconds the resulting photo was too overexposed. I found ND1000 was needed to get these results.
Thank you. I tested with an ND64 and it did not give me enough light filtering to get a long enough exposure in most settings with the exception of if I was in a lower light/really shady setting. Then it was possible to use ND64. ND1000 is definitely more flexible but ND64 can be used for a shorter long exposure or in a shadier setting.
I cannot speak to that brand but I have used both Polar Pro and Freewell. I like both and both seem to be on par with quality but I find the Freewell ones to cost a bit less. The ND1000 filter from Freewell is about $20.
Fantastic what these little cameras can do. Thank you for sharing with us and for your time you put in, if I may ask, what ND filter would you recommend for gopro 11 long exposure? Regards, Florin
Wonderful video. I want to get this filter, but, being a beginner, the GoPro is known for having poor photo quality. I have the Hero 11. Can i capture stunning photos with this camera?
All of the photos in this video are ones I captured on the GoPro and used the exact process I outline in this video. The Hero 11 has at least good of photo capabilities. Of course, the GoPro is a less than $500 camera and its speciality is not necessarily photographs but it can capture some decent photos with the right settings.
Based on your videos, I bought a GoPro 11 for travel, hiking and boating. With the tools you describe (ND filters, gimbals, etc), do you believe this is a good video camera to accomplish all these things, including landscape panorama, action vids, POV, etc? Or do I need to be looking at additional equipment? I need to keep light-weight, high-quality. Thanks
The GoPro is a great camera for all of those use cases along with those accessories. I have found that for different use cases it takes some experimenting and trial and error to get the looks I really want to my footage but I have learned a lot with the experimentation process.
I did try these settings for the waterfall it came out good results I wish you could show me the in a video about taking photos in the dark specifically city lights
Are you sure you used an nd64 for this? I tried to capture a very cool waterfall this morning with my nd64 at 2sec shutter but still all white, overexposed. Just found others talking about nd1000. Did you shoot this at dusk on a really overcast day or what? Love your videos Vic, but this one has me perplexed.
Great question. Focus locking is not necessary with the GoPro but if you have a static subject in the foreground you will want to make sure it is at least approximately 3 feet away from the GoPro if you want it in focus and not blurry.
I recentyl bought ND filters. Unfortunately I dont have ND1000. The highest I have is ND 32. Do you think I can still achieve same motion blur as your photo? Im aware that I may have to tweak my settings to achieve such result. Do you have any suggestions for the settings?
Great question. You could get some blur with the ND32 but not as much due to not being able to keep the shutter open for as long (the photo will be washed out and/or white). If you’re in the shade or lower light the ND32 will get you a bit further than in the sunlight. You would like need to set your shutter speed between 1/30 up to 1 second. 1 second will likely still be too much and give you too much light but it’s worth trying in a shadier setting.
@@GreatDayForAHike Thanks for the response. I figured i wont be able to get that same gorgeous blur with the filters that I currently have. Thus, I have decided to purchase ND1000 filter. I cant wait to try it out with my GoPro 10! Cheers!
@@GreatDayForAHike I can't get anything but white even at 2sec with my nd64 turned as dark as possible. The waterfall I want to capture was in bright sun. How did Vic's turn out so well when he says he's using an nd64?
The link you gave for the hero 9 and 10 nd 1000 at Amazon is not working or right it keeps bringing me to a nd 4 have looked all through Amazon and no nd 1000 any idea thanks
You’re right! That link did lead to ND1000 just a few days ago but now shows a bunch of other ND filters but none of them are ND1000. From what I can see the Freewell ND1000 filter is suddenly out of stock everywhere including B&H Photo here: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1595085-REG/freewell_fw_h9b_nd1000_nd1000_long_exposure_photography.html, Adorama here (on backorder): www.adorama.com/fwh9bnd1000.html Even eBay has it out of stock now. I will reach out to Freewell and see if they have an ETA on stock on this specific filter and reply back here if I get an update.
It ok I have solved the problem when I ordered my skyreat lens I ordered the filter set and low and behold there is a 1000 nd filter just tried it and works great thanks for the fast reply
Make sure you are in the Pro mode and also make sure you have RAW selected for the photo type. One of these not being selected can cause that setting to be grayed out.
interestingly unfortunately in my country there is no original filter 1000 so I got a bit bigger so I'll try to make something great it turns out the image

This tutorial was very helpful, thank you
You’re welcome and I appreciate your feedback.
Very thoroughly explained. Great job.
I appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

Yes, you sure can. Thanks!
Very informative video. Thanks. I have an ND32PL filter. Can I get good similar results if I set shutter speed to say 2 secs?
Thank you. When I tested ND32 I found this to not be enough stops of light being filtered out. If I used a shutter speed of two seconds the resulting photo was too overexposed. I found ND1000 was needed to get these results.
Excellent video and fabulous images. Can one take long exposure photos with ND 64?
Thank you. I tested with an ND64 and it did not give me enough light filtering to get a long enough exposure in most settings with the exception of if I was in a lower light/really shady setting. Then it was possible to use ND64. ND1000 is definitely more flexible but ND64 can be used for a shorter long exposure or in a shadier setting.
Are the ND filters all the same? I mean the quality. I have purchased ND filters from Yallsame. Unfortunately this set does not contain ND 1/1000.
I cannot speak to that brand but I have used both Polar Pro and Freewell. I like both and both seem to be on par with quality but I find the Freewell ones to cost a bit less. The ND1000 filter from Freewell is about $20.

It is pretty incredible. I use this ND1000 filter with my Hero 11 Black: amzn.to/42FZCLz
The price is great and it works well.
@@GreatDayForAHike thank you for getting back to me, I'll check that link you sent and keep this good content coming👌👀

Hi
I learn a lot from your tutorial !!!
I have the gopro 11 , in photo mode is there an option to see 16:9 full screen and not 8:7 ?
Thank you

I am unable to location the Freewell ND1000 filter for GoPro Hero5. Every where I look says it’s unavailable. What would you suggest?
Are you sure you used an nd64 for this? I tried to capture a very cool waterfall this morning with my nd64 at 2sec shutter but still all white, overexposed. Just found others talking about nd1000. Did you shoot this at dusk on a really overcast day or what? Love your videos Vic, but this one has me perplexed.
Sorry I thought I was commenting on Vic Barry's video where he says he used an nd64, but I get nothing but white.
I have tried the ND64 while experimenting but found I needed the ND1000 to really get the best results like those shown in this video.
@@GreatDayForAHike So you're saying you could get close with nd64? I get 95% white lol.
Do you lock focus before putting filter on? Especially if using the nd1000.
Great question. Focus locking is not necessary with the GoPro but if you have a static subject in the foreground you will want to make sure it is at least approximately 3 feet away from the GoPro if you want it in focus and not blurry.
Thanks for this!!
You’re welcome!
The beginning of video is on blueridge parkway. Otter creek trail system
Yes it sure is. When visiting here I thought it would be a great place to test out the long exposure photography settings.
I recentyl bought ND filters. Unfortunately I dont have ND1000. The highest I have is ND 32. Do you think I can still achieve same motion blur as your photo? Im aware that I may have to tweak my settings to achieve such result. Do you have any suggestions for the settings?

Yes, I consider it a great value at $20. I use it often and like having it available as a tool to use.
@@GreatDayForAHike I can't get anything but white even at 2sec with my nd64 turned as dark as possible. The waterfall I want to capture was in bright sun. How did Vic's turn out so well when he says he's using an nd64?
Would the ND filter still give the same results if I use the waterproof case thanks
Yes the waterproof case should not affect the ND filter provided it is clean where the lens lines up with the case.
Ty for the info
You’re welcome

@@GreatDayForAHike nd1000 for GoPro 7 black states unavailable and may never be back in stock. Do you know where I can get one?
I will check on this one as well.
On my gopro11, why is my ev comp non-selectable ?
Make sure you are in the Pro mode and also make sure you have RAW selected for the photo type. One of these not being selected can cause that setting to be grayed out.
I noticed that the shutter speed has to be on auto for the EV comp to be selectable. Anything other than auto and it becomes “N/A”
New sub! Liked 🙏👍
I appreciate your feedback and support!
why the sharpness of the final outcome of the viedo is not as sharp as
raw footage ?
Are you able to provide more details on what you are referring to?
@@GreatDayForAHike May i have your mail id ,so i can send my footage for your ref to understand .
interestingly unfortunately in my country there is no original filter 1000 so I got a bit bigger so I'll try to make something great it turns out the image
That is interesting indeed. Hope it goes well for you!
@@GreatDayForAHike there is one link on youtube posted the same with this nd1000 filter with gopro night lapse looks great
Great tips
Thanks!
