GoPro Hero 9 Black - SETUP AND BEST SETTINGS GUIDE - YOUR CHEAT SHEET

[@hinetimes]

Yes, like to improve with the gopro camera photos.

[@JennaCee]

As a photographer, I'd love to see a video on getting the most out of the photo settings. With a 20mp sensor - take advantage of it.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Love it Jenna! I'll get on it!👍

[@byhilliard]

@@DavidManningvlog Thanks a lot for your content man. Really good stuff.

[@maracuyaboss6518]

This guy have very quality videos, he deserves more subscirbers.

[@ryanb.9285]

Hey David, would love to see how the GoPro can be used for photography as well as video. First time GoPro owner and a noob in photography so any tips are appreciated.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Yup, I know the chapters aren't there in the video👍 00:00 Intro 01:42 Physical Changes 04:20 Preferences 10:30 Video Presets 17:29 Timelapse and Photo

[@ajsmen]

You've mentioned how much you strive for perfection, so seeing a mistake like this (and dude, it happens..) is kind of cool actually. Taking it in stride, adding a comment with the correct info and let's move on. You don't get to a 100 videos in a year by being perfect. Good for you man! And also when it happens to us, we can say "happens to the best of 'em" 😎

[@DaniChill]

I prefer the links in the description anyway

[@andrejflaska8827]

Hello sir, again great video! As allways :) I have one question: Why almost every youtuber shoot on Low Sharpness? When i use gopro i use always High, i want to be my image as sharp as possible. Doesnt mean that more sharpness- better image? Thanks for the answer, have a nice day! :)

[@matthewpoulter8445]

Hey David, which aspect ratio do you prefer? 16:9 or 4:3? Do you recommend using 4:3 at all?

[@GarineThach]

how to set ratio setting to 16:9 ???

[@johnhead1964]

My first GoPro, saved me a hell of a lot of time playing with settings, thanks 😀

[@Pmckh]

Definitely some useful tips on the settings. Thank you and I wouldn’t mind watching one for photos on the hero 9

[@tayloroneallong2898]

I don't know if this has already been said, BUT you don't need the Max lens in order to use the Max Lens setting (which allows for the 360 horizon leveling). You can just enable that max lens setting, it'll put you into the Max Lens video mode, and you'll be able to do the 360 horizon leveling just fine. The only difference will be the actual Max Lens will give you that extra wide, fish-eye type view, if that's your thing.

[@MorganLeighMusicNow]

Aw love bug ❤️❤️❤️ thank you! I love you!!!

[@lestat964]

Your songs are terrific. So talented.

[@TorrentUK]

Haven't listened to the new songs yet but just looked you up on Spotify and am currently listening to Whiskey Singing which is great!

[@kamakazitv574]

Awww i love me too thank you

[@rockrollarc9792]

Yes please do a video on taking photos with gopro 9 Like changing exposure settings

[@geraldkyle5819]

Thank you.This is very helpful to me. I'm an 88-year old man. I 'm trying to learn this camera. Gopro black 9

[@JagLite]

YES! Please make a photo video for those of us who want to be able to shoot everything with one little camera! The simplicity of only carrying one camera (and batteries, etc.) is my hope and I want to be able to point and shoot photos in the least amount of time with my camera in my pocket, or close, but not in my hand. I want to be able to do time lapse shooting from my helmet chin mount while riding my motorcycle along a beautiful road or trail so when I see something I don't have to stop, get my camera out, turn it on, take a picture and put it away, only to see another great shot around the next curve. Would recording video be better, I wonder? Then pulling still pictures from the video? Most of my pictures are posted on motorcycle forums just to share. Nothing of the highest quality is needed, just nice shots to share. I ordered a GP9 last night from your link and I really like your videos. You have been very helpful already and I don't even have a GoPro yet. I was going to order a GP7 Black but watching your videos convinced me the 9 Black would be much better for my intended use. I'm a subscriber now but I don't do any of the social website stuff. At 66 I'm really not interested in spending more time online, my motorcycle forums take up all the free time (and more) that I have. Now KZbin is my TV watching and I am learning so much about so many things. One new thing I learned is that Skittles and Life Savers are important to understand taking good video. I need to watch that one again... Thanks for making such fun and informative videos!

[@sergiumorar7]

Hey David, have you thought about doing a video about a "must have" GoPro accessories/kit. Something that you absolutely must buy after you just bought a GoPro 9.

[@jensenhaines6526]

An in-depth photo mode video would be pretty cool! Would love to hear what you have to say!

[@KennyWagner]

Yes please on a video about using the GoPro to take photos. I would love to learn how to maximize it as I want it to be my only camera. Thank you

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

I had to go back and watch this again. Just sold my 2 GoPro 6's to get a 9. I still have a 7 and 8 but when I used the 6's the clarity just wasn't the same. I am excited to get it in and I got the lens mod too. This will be our primary since it is all we use on our channel.

[@NhoyskieIbanez]

how you put the EV comp. when you set the Shutter to 1/480 it says EVComp N/A. but if you put the shutter to auto, then it can be set to -0.5

[@markmiko5312]

dual charger for the 9 is out. I got mine yesterday. USB A does typically have a label indicating which side is up. Whatever side has the usb symbol is the up side. On generic crap cables they may not have the label, but a high majority have this. If it is a gopro branded cable, the gopro logo will be where the usb symbol should be. I always just look at the connector first, but a little sharpie mark could make life easier.

[@carlmatthewsmotorcycleaddi394]

Thanks for taking the time to share these video settings , but you Haven't actually told us What you specifically use each setting for, So that leaves me back at square 1 , a bunch of settings with no purpose appointed to them . . . I am a beginner So I don't know what setting suits what situation, I might as well Be using use the default settings. I'm sure the settings are great BUT only if you know when to use them ... please can you share What settings to use in what situation . MANY thanks. CHEERS

[@saronnpov3275]

Well done, David ! The most helpful video on the go pro hero 9 screens buttons of the go pro and the settings tips are more than amazing! So thank you!

[@GanderFlight]

Thank you! My first GoPro and I really appreciate you walking through all those settings!

[@Gaskellorama]

Definitely interested in GoPro photos, I use mine a lot cycling and having dropped my iPhone on a 200mile ride, I’d have rather I dropped the GoPro 😬. Will change a few of my shooting settings to on the basis of this video. Glad ISO is getting better at higher values.

[@BoyUgat]

Thank you so much for this video tutorial. God Bless you more!

[@gasdocjb]

Thanks for settings. Please explain why you set sharpness to low on all your modes.

[@DavidManningvlog]

You can't remove sharpness in post. Or at least when you do, it doesn't look very good. So if I were to set it to Medium or High, then in post realize that it was way too sharp, I wouldn't have a way of removing it clean. So I set to low and add sharpness in post, which you can do easily and have it look really good!👍

[@K-Visuals]

Yes plx make a video about photography with Gopro

[@cynide89]

Always been a fan of your content, I love my GoPro, Insta360 and we have Evolve boards as well. My wife loves country music (unsual as we are South African) Today we join the Morgan fan base as well, great voice!

Hi David. Can you make a video on setup and best settings guide for the hero 10 please. I used your setup for the 9 but now I have the 10 and it's different.

[@lenelynbalmes3006]

Perhaps this was recorded several weeks ago, but the dual charger has been out since last week and available right from the GoPro website.

[@chelsearodriguez4570]

Love the video is there and update for the hero 10 or are the settings pretty similar?

[@amypletcher4411]

Thank you David for these tips!!! I finally got a Gopro and it was a Hero 9. I know Hero 11 is out but this is my first and I reviewed the difference between 9 & 10 and decided the 9 for the cost. I wanted accessories so I went slightly older on the Camera to get a few. We are going camping soon and I can't wait to try it out!! The first will be used for a backup camera mounted to our toolbox in the bed of the truck to hook our 5th wheel up! Thinking it will be easier than my husband yelling at me that I can't help properly. 😂 Then the rest will be on the trip!! What fun!!

[@brettroper4843]

Hi Dave, super video! Have question on your Cinematic setup, followed your spec, but my EV Comp is grey'd out and says 'N/A', so I cant reduce it to -0.5 as you suggest. How do you get it down please?

[@jweatherly26]

I'm assuming you figured this out by now, when you set a manual shutter speed the camera needs to fluctuate the ev itself to keep exposure correct. Basically you are trading ev controll for shutter controll.

[@rawilson7768]

Hi David would you make a tutorial of shooting stars on a 35mm camera?

[@kevin_howell]

I agree on everything except maybe the auto white balance... I find that for example in my sport, paragliding, I come a cross many different lightings in the same shot so I tend to set it manually for best results... Nice video!!!

[@LostIn]

Shot some videos with GP9 and i love it 👏

Hi me again for the pre settings mine seem to be different to what you explain I have Standard, Activity, Cinematic & Slo-Mo! Where do I find the Travel, POV & POV1? Many thanks again. Steve

[@kylemurray7086]

You have to create them with the “+” button

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

"+" option at bottom of video options. Then once you make your preferences, a swipe down brings you to a preset naming list. If you scroll the list you will find Travel and POV. If you create another set of preferences using an already used name (in this case POV), it will append a "1" so you have your POV1. Choosing custom does not give you option to type the name but rather saves a profile under "Custom". Too bad we cannot create these profiles in the app, which would give us a keyboard to allow renaming them. Maybe in a future firmware update?

Why do you have sharpness on 'low' for all settings ?

I have the same question.

because gopro will severely over-sharpen photos. they should almost always be on either medium or low
