FPV Hero 9 vs Hero 8 with Reelsteady Go (Raw Footage Included)

[@sr-prod]

Very nice comparison, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

[@robmulally]

Ahh great. So what do you think?

[@sr-prod]

@@robmulally That Hero9 looks really sweet in both hypersmooth and reelsteady. I agree that reelsteady still looks a bit better but hypersmooth seems to be getting really close. Also for ex. at 1:45 I was surprised to see that the Hero9 seems to handle better the direct sunlight situations with quite a bit less annoying sunflares On a side note, the KZbin compression sadly really ruins the footage and by making it look blocky. Next time try to upload in higher resolution like 4k even if your footage was shot in 1080p as KZbin treats 4k a bit better

[@robmulally]

Yeah I noticed that, probably didn't do a great job at my end . Footage was all 2.7k I should have just done it 4k. Not sure what I was thinking

[@sr-prod]

@@robmulally Don't worry, it seems KZbin compression has become absolutely horrendous lately anyway

[@jrxlee]

Thanks for this great comparison video !

[@robmulally]

You are welcome

[@creatorcorner3155]

This is a really good video and clearly shows the difference thank you so much man

[@robmulally]

Very welcome

[@clifford_wakeman]

Great work Rob, cheers!

[@imjackson.]

Hello thanks for your video. I am having issues with RSG + Hero 9. I get some pretty noticeable vibration and stutter on default settings. Flying a GEPRC Cinelog35 that has dampening springs. Didn't really expect to have any issues using a Hero 9. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@robmulally]

Whats your shutter speed. Try it on a bright day and make sure it's a fast shutter put the go pro on auto basically. Dampening can make it worse sometjmes if done wrong. But a low shutter speed is my first guess

[@dedy-syahril]

The bonus vlog test is what i was looking for. Thanks Rob. Can reelsteady go stablizes long clip, like 30+minutes long footage?

[@linassapnagis2174]

raw footage including, where is it?

[@coachjsu]

When doing the walking test with Real steady vs Hyper Smooth 3.0. Did you find that hyper smooth lost focus often? I've been doing some tests and noticed there's still shakes and loss of focus at 4k. It's not buttery smooth like a gimbal would be. Wondering if real steady would fix that.

[@robmulally]

I've not noticed that unless it's dark.

[@coachjsu]

@@robmulally Yeah, not sure maybe it's smooth but the focus on isn't that crisp or clear. Maybe I'm using the wrong settings. Was filming out in the day light. Honestly felt like my footage was taken from a gopro released from a few years ago. Sorry, kind of ranting now.

[@coachjsu]

Okay, I went out and did a test with every mode on the camera. The camera is silky smooth in wide boost and wide normal. Lin and Lin + Hoz in both boost and normal the footage becomes unfocused during certain moments.

[@robmulally]

@@coachjsu can I see the footage, ?

[@Spinfast]

What are your settings on each camera except for HS on/off?

[@scottyfpv5651]

I'm confused about all this. My 7 looks like crap when I run it through reel steady go..I know it's bc of the sensitive gyro on the 7..but I've seen other people use them with regular gopro mounts, not the soft mounted mounts. How are they doing this?

[@robmulally]

If you hand hold it and walk around how does footage look? Only when it's on drone? Have you tried creating A sync point when the drone is flying flat and level I know some people swore by that technique. I've got a 7 but don't remember having any issues , was always just TPU mounted.

[@scottyfpv5651]

@@robmulally Thanks for replying. I'm going to try again. I recorded a test video on my drone and made sure to keep flat for a while before doing any flippy floppies.

[@robmulally]

@@scottyfpv5651 let me know how it goes

[@scottyfpv5651]

@@robmulally Still had the issue. There are "bobbles" up and down and side to side. It only does it on the drone.

[@robmulally]

@@scottyfpv5651 well if you walk around with drone I'm assuming that footage works but not when the drone is flying so it sounds like you need to soft mount to the 7. I've not seen what that looks like so it's just an educated guess

[@ZangdaroMonkey]

Witch reglage for hero8 and hero9 for rsgo did you sélect ?

[@robmulally]

reglage ?

[@ZangdaroMonkey]

@@robmulally settings sorry

[@airfilm_it]

can i use reelsteady with GPS on?

[@robmulally]

GPS, yes I haven't heard of seen any reason why not? Why are you concerned?

[@airfilm_it]

@@robmulally some people says with is not possible to use Reelsteady with GPS on!

[@robmulally]

@@airfilm_it what go pro do you have? I'll test it right now for you. I have 7, 8 or 9

[@airfilm_it]

@@robmulally I have the hero 6 and hero 8

[@robmulally]

@@airfilm_it works on 8, not sure what to the issue is. Perhaps GPS data not embedded after rsgo? I'm not sure how to check that. But with GPS on I don't see how that causes issue. How you using GPS data in video at the moment?

[@1djhilo]

how are you using hypersmooth with reelsteady ?

[@robmulally]

Ahh I'm not, ? Did I make a typo?

[@1djhilo]

Rob Mulally on your video it says hyper smooth 2.0 boost off so I’m assuming ur using hyper smooth with out boost

[@robmulally]

@@1djhilo that's correct. The boost adds more crop , But if I show any footage that's been in rsgo that would have no stabilisation on it before being put into rsgo. (Hypersmooth off) otherwise rsgo won't let you open it.

[@glossyfpv1155]

Worst part about reelsteady is it needs the internet lol such a dumb design..why does it have to work so good 😂
