I've watched different recommendations from different bloggers as for the "best settings" but only on your channel I see really good quality of videos made with GP8.
Thank you! Very helpful just bought the Hero 8 and will be using it for my first trip in 2020 to Las Vegas in January. Will be practicing here around my hometown tomorrow !
Man, this is so complicated. You teach well. I just didn't realize how much work cinematography was. FPS, linear, wide, white balance. I've gone cross eyed. haha. Getting my GoPro soon, and I'll be going through all your videos. I'm trying to learn as much in 5 months as possible. Heading to Japan in May and I'd love to make a short cinematic video of the trip. Thank you!
Another tip to help battery life last longer, I have mine set to where the screen turns off after a minute while recording. Most of the time I’m using my chest mount so I don’t need to see the screen
I've been a bit hesitant to shoot in 4K because my computer is super old and slow. Going to experiment with it a bit anyway. Thanks for the settings. Good stuff.
Can you guys film in 4K, 60 FPS and a linear field of view? Wondering if that issue mentioned in the video happens only on my camera 🤔 04.12: With the new update it works!
I wish you could have mentioned about using your settings with a MacBook Pro 2015 because the footage I filmed yesterday using your settings is terrible to edit in Premiere Pro. The laptop isn't fast enough to upload 4K footage. Also some of my videos wouldn't even upload and just said it wasn't compatible with QuickTime :(
Thanks for the video. I've just discovered your channel today and I can see you made great efforts to explain us the video settings. Well done! Just a quick one, you might already explained this before. How can you reduce the video size (for storage) by keeping the quality top notch?
@@JanKlaeui You're the best, thanks for letting me know - really good of you to keep up with comments from a video from months ago. Thanks man! Keep up the good work
Awesome! Very well explained and super new user friendly. I am having troubles filming my Motocross races because at the transitions from shaded places and wide open the image still dark for couple seconds. I'll check the default setting in the activity mode and go a notch up with the ISO. Once again, thank you. Subscribed.
Hi Jan Klaeui, i just have a question about the 1080p / 240 fps. i just recently bought this camera but everytime i try to record at 1080p / 240fps and play it back on my computer, it just gives me a black screen but i can hear the audio. i'm wondering if i got a defective camera or if my settings are wrong? would you happen to know what might be the problem? Any of your thoughts to my problem here would greatly be appreciated! btw, you always have great tutorial videos! i watch your videos all the time and use some of the tips from your videos. thanks for sharing!
Yes i can watch it directly from the camera. it must be my computer then. What type of computer or system would you recommend so it can support the 1080/240 fps? Thanks!
i may have missed it or Haven't watched in your later vids yet but can i ask do you use hevc or h.264+hevc for video compression? thank you very much. i came to your contents by searching for tutorials as this is my first and may be only action cam, and yours are the most on point easiest to understand i watched.
Do you recommend the gopro hero 8 for vlogging and travel videos? I'm thinking of buying one but I'm not sure if I will like it since there is no front screen to see what I'm recording when doing selfie shots. Also, have u had any problems like the camera freezing up? Thanks
Great video 👍 I like to turn sharpness down to low, it's still pretty sharp and the weird artefacts (especially in 1080) disappear. Beside that I use pretty much the same settings you recommend. I have a Story quick set with 1080/60 that I use vertical.
@@JanKlaeui how do u upload to Instagram if they dont take 4.3 with 4k resolution with the hvec format? i am also trying to learn how to use my gopro for POV driving videos, would 1090p linear at 30fps be perfect?
Hey Jan, thank you for the great tipps. One question about the video settings: does the Hero 8 shoot in 4k and 60fps in linear mode? Because you said it doesn't but it should according to the manual - so now I'm confused 😳
Tobias Schubert I just discovered that if u wanna shoot 4k60 in linear, u will need to disable the hyper smooth before selecting linear an 4k60. Hyper smooth is not supported under this combination, sad
Got the 8 but my videos aren’t good, was walking at forest holding using the chest mount and the video wasn’t good after, even using 4K 60 . Do you think it still requiring a gimbal?
I was surprised to discover that the default Cinematic profile on the HERO8 has bit rate set to 'Low'. I didn't discover this until I'd spent an entire day taking video in that mode at a National Park. :-/ Maybe if I'd seen your video beforehand! :P
Wow been looking for some help,im a complete novice on any filming, cameras etc,but im taking my daughter to Australia to back pack up the the east cost and knock about up the great barrier reef,so settled with the go pro 8,lots of other videos out there but yours was quick and to the point and no messing around,gonna subscribe sit down make a cup of tea and watch all your other content and hopefully come back from oz with some amazing videos photos etc,that my daughter can cherish forever,peace out!

Hello, Can I connect the gopro 8 to my HD TV and watch the videos? If so how do I do that? I've never had a gopro before and I heard that the hero 8 doesn't have a HDMI port so I can play my videos on the TV. I'm buying it to video my 2 year old daughter and I know she will want to watch the video afterwards. Thank you for all the information!
An easy way to watch your videos on a TV is by connecting the computer to it or an external hard drive. I recommend the second option, so your videos are also saved in a second place in case something happens to your GoPro :)
@@JanKlaeui wow!.. how can i achieve that? What is your settings set-up?.. i haven't try my gp8 bcoz I'm still wait for my sd card to arrive.. I noticed that my gp8 doesn't have hypersmooth boost and high, only on and off.. please need your help. Should i go to the store where i bought this?
