GoPro MTB Guide 2024: The Best Settings, Mounts & Camera Angles

[@dunin.majewski]

GoPro mounted on the helmet gives a much better perspective when you ride steep trails: the steepness looks steeper than if you mounted it on your chest. For jumps or flow trails, the chestmount is the best solution.

[@CoachTrifes]

being an advanced gopro user as well, i have to commend you for this nice video especially about exposure in regards of the woods for mtb. well done !

[@MountMediaChannel]

thx mate!

[@Denchik_Lite]

I love Go Pro🤗❤

[@philippecloarec]

Hi Verna. Thx much for sharing your expertise. As usual you detailed pretty well the things to keep in mind in such scenario.😉Your beside comments will be helpful for most of us for sure.🙃😉

[@尹亦凡-z8p]

Great tips for beginners like me! :D Thank you for your detailed explanation!

[@TMHyt]

My dumb ass wasn’t mounting the GoPro upside down on the chesty, just found out that that was possible, game changer😂

[@miros1524]

Great video! Thanks for explanation, not just spec setup 🙏

[@admiralmachine]

Thank you.

[@AlexMTBVLOG]

Thank you sir ✅ good one

[@CartasalaHumanidad]

Best video ever ! 🔥

[@ChristopherBloom]

This entire video was worth it to find out that shooting in 4k results in less noise in forest cover than shooting in 5k. My 5k shots through shady forest trails were so so noisy. I'll be experimenting with switching to 4k to compare.

[@Dowper]

Any results?

[@ChristopherBloom]

@@Dowper indeed! I moved to 4k@30fps in order to maintain battery life for the 30-45 minutes I needed to descend my trails. At the same ISO/EV the graininess was less! I did some comparisons of different frame rates and resolutions here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AThZmiVz76VlsLUa-vQ1DOdxe2kDSj9hYAzqTjFk-Xg/edit?pli=1#gid=0. Then I set minimum ISO to 100 and maximum to 800, with a white balance of 5500k for sunny days. I do color correction afterwards in Davinci Resolve and it turns out pretty good so far.

[@speedquestwindsurfing]

Well done.

[@LookintomyBarrel]

Thanks, great advice.....

[@BrianSweeney1985]

Do people no longer use gyro stabilized mounts? I have a couple of Hero7 Blacks that I intend to use until they are destroyed and with that revision, the image stabilization really got pretty good, but I still think it is a little deficient for mountain biking. Could be I just need to have a better look at the rest of my settings. But I recently was wondering if a gyro of some sort would be appropriate but I don't see too many people talking about them. Maybe with the latest GoPros it's just not worth it anymore?

[@Rafcius]

Thanks for the video. It was very informative. What do you do with mic on your go pro. I have model 10 black and my footage from biking has a lot of wind noise.

[@MountMediaChannel]

Personally, I rarely use the GoPro's sound, if at all only as background noise - I usually add music etc. in post. If necessary, there would be external microphones - but you need the Media Mod for that

[@RedNip123]

I dont seem to have the option to change from 4:3 to 16:9...any tips? Im on the Hero 10

[@djchazzimmerman]

What’s the long one called

[@17cream]

If I’m filming for 4k output on say KZbin, should I shoot 5.3k or native 4k?

[@martyheck7351]

Have you tried the mouth mount?

[@Covenant37]

Habla como si saliera de un monasterio XD

[@Benpatour]

Hello. are you use standard , HDR , LOG Auto boost, or just open on hyper smooth on16:9 ? Thank you

[@MountMediaChannel]

Hi, I don't use LOG on these cameras, HDR could be very useful if you ride through a forest and the sky could burn out. If you use it on a chest mount Hypersmooth ON should be good enough.

[@denniesoffree7593]

My go pro does not give the option for changing the LENS mode to SPV when selecting 5.3 8:7 aspect ratio. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

[@TravelFox01]

8:7 you can just shoot in wide, you do not need to decide between wide, SV and HV … you can choose it in post when choosing frame 16:9 in your GoPro quick app and select wide, SV and HV… in case of SV you can even move the frame a little bit up and down… In my opinion 4K 8:7 is the best option since you have the most flexibility and could even select 9:16 … 8:7 uses the full sensor vertically… I shoot only in 4k 60 8:7 wide or 4K 30 8:7 in case of low light…

[@evasionsvtt]

Hi Verna, maybe i'm an idiot, but in your video, at 1:05, i don't find the + button to create a new preset. I have gopro 11 black for one month only...Sorry ;-)

[@MountMediaChannel]

In the upper right corner - first press on the presets icon - then the plus appears

[@ablewindowcleaning7874]

Is this still relevant for GP 12 without lens mod

[@MountMediaChannel]

Yes, of course

[@michaelmroczek7360]

at 11:33, what mount is that? can you please put a link

[@MountMediaChannel]

This is the bike handlebar mount sold by Insta360 - you find it in the bike bundle: store.insta360.com/accessory?insrc=INRNHMF

[@TheFloridaBikeVlogger]

is it just me or is he talking sexy to everyone?

[@maidenarmstervlog]

Just buy go pro 11
