This video outlines the settings I used to capture this northern lights night lapse: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIiYZKBtYst5pK8si=YhFAUAz21sJ9ILUr

[@CHP81]

Hi, Can advise which one will be best to get a good NL capture Gopro, Action5 or Insta360 Ace Pro? Thanks!

[@GreatDayForAHike]

@CHP81 Any of these three will work well for capturing the northern lights. Photo mode will get best results for a night lapse but the night lapse video mode on all three will also do well. The GoPro does have a slight advantage over the DJI and Insta360 with the interval function not needing to have a slight gap between frames during a night lapse but that is a minor difference.

[@KarenBone-b5h]

That is so good, what setting did you use?

[@shawnstoik]

wow so beautiful, just bought the X4 wish I knew what setting this was or how to do this...

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thank you. Check out this video right here where I show time lapse settings on the X4. Only adjustments you’ll need to make for night lapse is setting the EV Comp back to 0 and adjusting the shutter speed to about 25 or 30 seconds and the ISO to 1600 Max. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onjIdn2kmLaNfpYsi=dWj6vuhETZKtPfop

[@rudydoyle]

I took this with Action 4 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIPXg3uad8lsi7ssi=XesHO7gnjLu9OoSF

[@GreatDayForAHike]

That looks great! You had an excellent vantage point too.

[@GazBarton]

Nice video. I noticed that you use the Anker power bank to film a time-lapse with action cameras. I was wondering if you simply just plug it inlike you would with a phone, or do you double tap the button first like you would to charge accessories such as ear buds and smart watches to avoid damaging the equipment.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thank you. Yes, I just plug it in.

[@AdventureTimMedia]

Hey mate, nice work. Where did u film this vision? When I lived in Canada I heard Edmonton and NW territories were the best places to see the lights .

[@GreatDayForAHike]

This was way down in Virginia in the United States.

[@iRo.1877]

Nice Shot! What settings do you use for night timelaps, especially for northern lights? Tia

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thanks! This video outlines the settings I used to capture this northern lights display as well as night lapses in general: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIiYZKBtYst5pK8si=knD6iKLsDsfBhuYF

[@Alfsp1]

We have it here Melbourne city Australia..

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Nice!

[@jerrywills]

This is really a neat sequence! Where were you filming at?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thanks. This was captured in Virginia.

[@betsygodwin8938]

So cool!! I was out last night along Lake Michigan in Chicago and saw them faintly. Others saw them brilliantly, but I was not in the right place at the right time! Where did you capture this?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thanks! This was captured in Virginia.

Wow 😱 Mich würden die Einstellungen von der DJI Action 5 Pro interessieren. Ein super schöner Zeitraffer, Respekt.
