[@Flowfinder24]

Excellent tips! Thank you guys. These are really worth trying.

[@brianbathgate4944]

Excellent video! Cheers guys 👍

[@fatboy_ridin_]

Thanks gents, just what I was looking for!

[@heirilosman4926]

Thanks guys. Tips for cinematic footage apart from the Cinematic settings? GoPro10. Used ND18 filter, slowed the shutter to 1/24, footage jitters every few frames.

As usual, an excellent and informative video. Well done.

11:51 For me one main feature is all the $. White balance to native and regulated later in post process keeping in mind to have recorded something white with no light reflection in the footage of the day. If you leave the GoPro white balance to "auto" then GoPro will also do auto contrast resulting in many dark areas with no details in the footage. If you are shooting video to show an area white balance is imperative. If not....

You set HDR or LOG ? Thank you

Hello, what configuration do you recommend for cloudy days? (I don't do pro post editing)

Awesome awesome video guys! I’m 36 just got into mountain biking and loving it! I bought the GoPro 12 last week, think I’m gunna pick up the lens mod and a couple of extra batteries this week! I’ve seen a lot of videos saying to shoot in 8:7 so you can edit it to 9:16 or 16:9 in the Quick app. I mostly want to update my insta stories for family and friends - what would u guys recommend? I also have the chest mount 👌

[@thunderdogproductions]

to shoot rear, there is a seat mount that attaches the the saddle rails. it is almost like a tripod its way more stable than a person with a rear mount.

Great suggestion! However, on a modern full suspension bike with a dropper post, you need to be very careful about mounting a GoPro to the back of the saddle - on most of my bikes the rear tyre would contact the camera at full compression! [Wil]

Great tips but the hardest part I’m finding is post filming and editing. GoPro Quik is rigid and limiting. What apps are you using?

[@fatboy_ridin_]

I use Davinci Resolve which has some excellent features. There are also a ton of KZbin tutorials for it.

How would your settings recommendations change for the GoPro 12 if I don’t plan to do postproduction editing (or at least only rarely)? Thanks!!

For video reviews I've edited in the past (I'm very much an amateur videographer, unlike Justin who does it for a profession) I've just used the standard GoPro colour profile (Natural). I think it does a great job of boosting contrast and colour, especially when you're shooting in nice light with blue skies. I generally would shoot in 1080p, just to keep the file sizes from getting too massive for editing on my laptop. I'm never punching in on those clips anyway, so there's no real need to shoot in 4/5.7K unless you want a much higher resolution end video. Otherwise just the standard settings; Shutter: Auto EV Comp: 0 White Balance: Auto ISO Min: 100 ISO Max: 1600 Sharpness: Medium Colour: Natural And all the other references to lens and frame rate still apply. So shooting with a chesty mount you want to use Hyperview and 25 FPS, and off-the-bike you may want to use Linear/Wide and 100 FPS if you're looking to add some slow-mo footage. Hope that helps!

[@FlowMountainBikeYouTube]

Hello! We have indeed, you can check that one out here: flowmountainbike.com/tests/norco-range-review-2022/ Hope this helps!

[@Ashton_Shields_POV]

@@FlowMountainBikeKZbin thank you so much thinking of buying one

[@Ashton_Shields_POV]

@@FlowMountainBikeKZbin have you done a video on it?

[@G00glieS]

You shoot in 5k, but this video is available in 1080 only 😅. Why?

[@speedsquishstupid]

It takes bit to render everything on YT, its in 4k now.

[@koukimonzta]
