why you're not using 4:3 in 2,7k ? i think reelsteady best using 4:3?

Really nice concise information and advice buddy! Loved the footage at the end too that was awesome! 🤩👌👌

[@outta_space4482]

Hi! Your footage always looks amazing! Do you use any stabilization for your videos or software in post? Your cinematic videos look like normal superview footage. Not like edited with reelsteady or so. I bought some ND Filters now. Your Video helps me a lot. Thx! Edit: i scolled down a little bit and in a comment you mentioned that you use reelsteady in some of your clips. Could you tell me your little secrets about when and why using reelsteady or not? :) Is your video from vietnam for example edited with reelsteady? Or is this just unstabilized superview footage and a softmounted quad and ND Filter do the job?

[@cam_fpv8168]

Do you know which firmware version introduced this bug? Can I revert my firmware instead?

[@IshamPadron]

Thanks for this. Could you also talk about how to get the best quality when you upload to youtube? Talk about, resolution, bit rate, color grading, etc. Thanks.

[@FRY_FPV]

at 1:15 I talk about the KZbin compression issue and if you read the text at 6:10 you can read my Video Export options for the best quality on KZbin. Always export at: 4K, 30fps, 50MBit/s bitrate. But noted! I can make one about this too, going through all my settings on Adobe Premiere. Thank you :)

I feel that this has happened with the gopro 10, but unlike session 5 I can't improve when the shutter is fixed, it's only good with automatic shutter, the problem is that when I use it at night the automatic shutter reduces too much.

[@gonfpv]

Hi! Interesting video! What are your recommended settings for using a Session5 with reelsteady go (softmounted)? I found out that the only shutter speed that avoids a very disgusting blurry/shaky effect when using RSGo is 1/120. Do you have any more tips? Also, regarding the FRY HACK, does it really affect the recorded video? Or only the preview from the app? Thanks!

[@smashitfpv3922]

Sweet! Thanks for the tips FRY. I'll give these settings a shot. Good stuff bro.👊👍✌

[@jrayfpv4963]

Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us!! You know how much I've been searching for better gopro quality image and this video is presented perfectly and simple! I can't thank you enough for the awesome content you been presenting lately! Huge like from me brother! And I will be trying out some of you setting from now on!! Do you recommend a specific nd pack for the session 5? I'm not sure of the idea of stick on ones...🤔 nevertheless I'm thankful you shared this with us! I will be sharing this with my fpv group too! Hope you have an awesome day bro!👊😎👍

[@FRY_FPV]

I use the TBS ND Filters because they are affordable. My GoPro Session mount can slide these filters. Otherwise look on Thingiverse for some universal GoPro Session 5 mount with Nd filter and find somewhere to print it. And if you really can't, maybe try to fix it with some electric tape. I managed to do that once 😅 a bit sketchy but it worked. Thank you so much for the support and for sharing this. I really think a lot of people don't know about it. I'd be really keen to get one of the big FPV KZbinrs to talk about this because maybe GoPro would listen and update their firmware on the session 5 haha 😅 For the settings, as I said, if you really don't want to be bothered with the Hack, leave it to Auto. You can't still use the ND Filters for the situations that I mentioned if it's on Auto. That will reduce the exposure bounce effect I've described

[@MUNKYFPV]

Thanks for the info mate. I run a session 5, so for this to work you are saying you have to go into the settings on the app and change the shutter speed to AUTO then back to 1/60 every time you press the button to start recording for this to work?

[@FRY_FPV]

yes, unless you leave the session switched on at all time. To do that, you need to power it off from the back and then press the record button

[@MUNKYFPV]

FRY FPV Thanks mate, I was testing it today and yeah amazing it works so well, annoying that GoPro never fixed this bug. I’ll probably use your hack to lock exposure though, Ive been using an ND filter with low ISO and shutter set to auto which does help with smoothing footage in bright sun but the changing exposure always drives me crazy, locked exposure is so much nicer cheers.

[@LeuRne]

Awesome bro, you should make two video side by side with fry hack and without!

[@FRY_FPV]

I thought of doing this, but didn't in the end as I wanted to talk about the two examples separately: the one at 4:53 and the one at 5:23 I hope you still understood it though

[@prottentogo]

My GoPro Session 5 doesn't have Iso 100. Only 400, 800 and 1600. Protune is on. FM is 2.51. Did they remove that? To which fm do I have to go down to?

[@FRY_FPV]

You need to set the shutter to manual and you'll be able to do that. once you set it to manual shutter speed you can change the iso. And once you set the iso, you can set the shutter speed back to auto if you prefer it that way

[@prottentogo]

@@FRY_FPV THX! Awesome. How the hell are you supposed to figure that out. Also EV compensation is twisted after doing that. Can't make that shit up lol.

[@FRY_FPV]

hahaha. Yeah the user experience of GoPro isn't that great. Especially on the old GoPros but there's always a hack for anything ;-)

[@nikscherer]

Wait this only affects the preview you get in your phone though, right?

[@nikscherer]

Just checked it myself, it does affect the actual footage! That's unbelievable, fuck GoPro!!!

[@JustInTime0525]

So you are saying: if we manually set the shutter speed without doing the FRY hack, the whole footage shot afterwards will come out blurry and not just limited to the preview window? If that's true then it's pretty crazy that no one noticed, because I have seen many KZbinrs manually set their shutter but didn't notice any blurriness in their video... But thank you for this video focused on Session 5, since it's the only GoPro I have, and subbed!

[@nikscherer]

I'm pretty positive it only affects the preview that's streamed from the GoPro to your phone... just can't believe setting your shutter speed manually would mess up the actual video file entirely

[@JustInTime0525]

@@nikscherer Yeah that seems more likely (and I sure hope so too), don't think the whole world + GoPro didn't notice this issue

[@FRY_FPV]

the day I noticed this was when I made this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/enfcZ6yCdtN2m7M (please skip to 5:05 as the first 5 minutes aren't interesting). You can see that the picture of the session 5 has it's shutter speed locked, but the quality is all blurry and feels like out of focus and dirty. Turns out it was because I didn't discovered that hack yet. The quality of the camera pissed me off so much that I ended up removing the video from my channel. It's pretty bad... Also if you watch this, please keep in mind that was at my debut of flying haha, flights were so bad 🤣 have a great day guys! I hope this helps! best is you test it yourself if you have a session 5 😘

[@nikscherer]

I have to take back everything I said. I actually just checked myself and it does visibly affect the actual footage. That's unbelievable! But of course GoPro doesn't care or has any interest in fixing it since they now completely abolished the protune settings for anything without a screen... They don't give a crap about the FPV community.

[@rmhfpv9225]

All of my Session 5 cameras only allow ISO values of 400, 800, 1600. How are you getting your session to lock at 100 iso? I already use 1/60 shutter, flat color, nd32, but the lowest iso is 400in the menu. Even Bardwell mentions this. Areyou actually showing the menu for a Hero rather than a sesion?

[@FRY_FPV]

No I was showing the values for a Session 5. Same goes for the Hero 5 You need to select ISO Lock and then set the shutter speed to 1/60 and then you can select the ISO to 100 Can you send me the Bardwell video? I actually sent me my video and I wonder if he used this or not

[@ludofpv3372]

Hey cool ce tutos !! 👍 sa marche pour une session 4?

[@FRY_FPV]

Je n'ai pas testé parce que je n'ai pas de session 4. Mais si le bug était présent dans la session 5, je pense qu'il était présent sur la session 4 aussi. En tout cas il ne l'est pas sur la Hero 6. Essaie et tiens moi au courant! Ça m'intéresse :)

We have a different flying style Mikey :) I actually enjoy watching the raw aggressiveness from your flying style. Same for when I watch Tom Smith and Mr. Steele. Plus... The first two clips of the towers at the end of this video is stabilized with reelsteady, so don't worry too much about yours not looking smooth. It was such a cold and windy day that it was really hard to keep it smooth: fingers were frozen and the wind was pushing the quads in the opposite direction, making us making too many micro adjustments. It took me all Friday evening and all day yesterday to make this video 😅 I really hope people will learn from it
