GoPro Hero 11 - The BEST Underwater Settings

[@GoPro]

Excited to see the magic you create underwater with HERO11 Black 🪄Thank you for sharing!

[@FintasticFilms]

Make sure to check out some of my underwater videos if you haven't already! Enjoy!

[@ghostofuchiha441]

All are SD card waterproof and what is best one to use

[@TangledLinez]

It’s crazy because I started watching this video for the respect I have for Nate… and it turns out I finished watching the video for the respect I have for you! Great Video my friend 🤙🏾

[@Anthony-kt8mm]

Love your gopro vids

[@FintasticFilms]

Glad you like them!

[@philippecloarec]

Hi Ramond . Thx much for sharing your expertise. Those tips will be very useful for sure. 😉

[@user-nf9jz7ex8b]

Nice one Raymond!! 👋🦑🦈🤿🧜‍♀️🏝️☀️

[@JPHolbrook]

Hi Raymond. Thanks for making these videos. Very helpful for the best underwater settings. I'm definitely going to max out on the 10 bit color on the GoPro Hero 11. 5.3k and 4k 60 fps. Cheers.

[@arlynandusayechague2949]

Thanks for the info.. Because I have a new GoPro Hero 11.. And I don't know how to use..

[@kostadinustavalkov1902]

Hey Ray ,as always great information it's satisfying watching your videos

[@hasefe076]

Thanks for just taking the time to make Videos for us

[@dianalima3155]

Thank you for the tips! If I don't want to edit my videos (just trimming, but no color editing at all), should I use a red filter for diving? Or you still recommend no red filter? Thank you in advance for your answer!

[@TravisVarga]

that footy looks amazing

[@kraken1666]

I really enjoy the GoPro tips. Keep it up

[@dindobiberanueza]

linear is something that i incorporate with wide angle shots with my gopro 10 and its awesome

[@taipadubsky78]

Hello. Amzing videos...should i use white balance to native when filming and shooting photos underwater?

[@eastoneats2216]

Very helpful! Thanks!

[@FintasticFilms]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@elfaransis]

Could you make a setting video for Photography with a GPhero11 aswell? thanks!

[@alekseigurov5786]

Nice color

[@emanuelalletto6630]

Which Settings do you recommend for dive in the ocean and 30-40m?

[@matthewbyrnes2879]

Thanks!

thanks for sharing

[@selenaescutia8942]

Great tips!

[@Histogramas]

Nice. Again, you're lucky you dive in clear light waters. :) 4k 120 will simply result in unusable footage at our green dark waters here at Portugal. ISO would have to be superhigh and that would mean loads of grain. oh.. and sharpness... low. Always. :)

[@Ak.studio58]

Thx

[@erwynmonteiro529]

Amazing ❤️

[@CoopersAmputeeLifestyle]

Thanks for the settings tutorial bro. Can you do an episode on the photo settings for underwater. Sometimes I need to take photos with gopro for thumbnails of my episodes and I want to get better shots down with the right settings. Instead of just taking screen shots of the footages. Thank you.

[@FintasticFilms]

I've thought about making an underwater photo tutorial, and it's something I plan on releasing soon!

[@CoopersAmputeeLifestyle]

@@FintasticFilms thank you. Hit me up when you do.

[@LChiam]

You have to tell us how to get to those settings you mentioned.

[@taipadubsky78]

Hello. Why dont you reccomend filters?...If you can increase red colors in white balance why would you use filters with for exemple hero 6...does hero 6 have option for red whit balance...and do you edit your videos? Great video

[@FintasticFilms]

If you're using a Hero 6 then I'd recommend using filters, because you can't control the white balance as well as you can now. However, if you're using a Hero 9, 10, or 11 I wouldn't use any filters. I do edit all of my videos, just to make sure they look really good.

[@ThierryC2373]

@@FintasticFilms I was pretty sure you edited the videos, I just come back from a diving trip with my GoPro 9 and filter or not, there are some times where the red comes through way too much depending on light conditions on raw footage. Great footage by the way!

[@mikedoingmikethings702]

You did not mention if you used a waterproof case which affects the quality of the video

[@matthewbyrnes2879]

4k 120 10-bit is supported. Maybe it's new?

[@lydialeigh4]

How much time are you getting on one battery if camera on while diving? I know you said it is a longer lasting battery. Good tip on using linear. Thank you!

[@FintasticFilms]

Filming in 4K120 my battery life is able to last 2 dives. It depends on how long you leave your camera on during the dive, so keep that in mind

[@FintasticFilms]

Lydia - check the response I just left to you on a different comment!

[@knoxonwoods5636]

You mention being dow 40 to 50 feet. Do you need a special case for the gopro when that deep?

[@FintasticFilms]

Yes. GoPro's are waterproof down to 33 feet, but any deeper than that and you'll need a case.

[@739redrose]

This may be a dumb question but is there a difference in video quality between fresh water (like a pool or river) and salt water? If so are there any settings to adjust for this? Or am I just overthinking this

[@FintasticFilms]

Most of the time there is a difference! Fresh water is typically more green and yellow, whereas salt water is more blue (usually). Adjusting your white balance is the only thing I would change between fresh and salt water.

[@janikvollenweider]

Hi, thanks for sharing your settings 🙌 What kind of video light are you using?

[@FintasticFilms]

I have the lights that came with my handle, but I also really like using the Suptig diving light, which can be found an Amazon

[@moscubagrum5027]

@@FintasticFilms Thanks for the light info! So the GoPro will adjust according to the light? If so i am sold!

[@FintasticFilms]

@@moscubagrum5027 it should adjust well to the light. As long as your ISO isn’t at the highest setting it’ll work good!

[@iangarcia2452]

Have you noticed the issue that shangerdanger posted where the white balance under water is soo off and even when you get to the surface and film above water, for a few seconds everything looks purple 😅

[@mhh5378]

@GoPro How did you get 4K 120fps? It doesn't seem to be an available option. Same for 5.3K resolution

[@boomermcfall]

I used my new GoPro 11 down in Key Largo last week but viz was murky but did use that 10 bit color in 5K/60 with Native White Balance! I didn't use any video lights and tried a red filter and still have to go through a ton of my video clips for edit. I am jealous of the footage you have gotten but thanks for sharing all your tips!!! I came to acknowledge that using a filter for underwater with an 11 doesn't wow me and won't shoot with one unless I can figure out other protune options.

[@taipadubsky78]

And also do you use flat color or vibrant, considered you said you edit the footage?

[@FintasticFilms]

Usually I'll keep it on natural so I have more freedom while color correcting. However, if I change it up I'll usually go with vibrant

[@taipadubsky78]

@@FintasticFilms do you think that if i use snorkel filter from gopro official site i dont need to edit videos?

[@FintasticFilms]

You probably won't

[@alanwhite6110]

Do you have bit rate set to max? Thanks.

[@FintasticFilms]

Yes!

[@asteforce]

Hi can i just select auto on both iso min, max and whitebalance?

[@rrwenzel]

Why not set wb to native so I can work on the wb in post?

[@user-ux3xb4mh4g]

Hi, good explained, but what are the settings for deep dives with dark conditions e.g. 60-80m north see? BR PJ

[@cskeller07]

Have you tried Scuba with AutoBoost?

[@FintasticFilms]

I have. It didn't make that much of a difference for me, so I just use normal hypersmooth

Ты бы лучше на английском задал этот вопрос)

[@alekseigurov5786]

А вообще нет но подвержена холоду и жаре но не новая,новая более устойчива,у меня 7ка и начинает виснуть жёстко если жара особенно

[@thescubabug1]

How do you think your settings would compare to the "easy" settings on the Hero11? Instead of switching back and forth between settings....

[@FintasticFilms]

You'll still be able to capture good video if you don't mess with your settings much, and leave them the way they were when you got the camera. However you can really make your video look better if you change your settings. So if you just want to film what you're doing, and don't need it to look the best it possibly can, then you can leave them the way they are.

[@rawrxd6073]

You have such a good speaking voice

[@FintasticFilms]

Thanks!

[@patrickkonig216]

why iso min 200?

[@Dr_Flankensteinn]

Can't you just shoot 4k/60 or 4k/120 in 8:7 and export out the desired format: 16:9, 4:3, etc.

[@FintasticFilms]

I believe so

[@Dr_Flankensteinn]

@@FintasticFilms I checked last night you can't do 4k/120 in 8:7 :(

Pretty unhelpful video, how about showing how to change the settings.
