Super bro,,, good job

[@GreatDayForAHike]

[@georgilia]

The reason to have stabilisation off is in using reelsteady after. Reelsteady gives MUCH better stabilisation. And for the same reason it's better film with wide angle, because in the same software you can remove the fisheye effect to keep straight image with maximum view. Your settings are good, but you can do way better if you have reelsteady. Basically, for the best image you film in 5K 4:3, no stabilisation, wide angle. Removing fisheye will make the image wider, so 4:3 will become 16:9. At the end you have the best possible image with the best possible stabilisation

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thanks for your input. ReelSteady is indeed a powerful tool and does really well with what you mention.

[@jodajoda3791]

Hi Nice video :) do you have som best settings for snorkeling(not diving).I think most about the White Balance and the ISO MAX ?

[@geekinthegarden3927]

Nice video. I set my white balance to Native and the colour to Flat so that the gopro doesn't adjust the colours so I can get best results tweaking them later to get the most out of shadows and, with the -.5ev, the highlights as well. Can't you still use Raw Audio when there is an external mic connected to create a wav file for the mic input? What do the different setting underneath Raw Audio use? The media Mod works, it's the Max Lens Mod that comes out in the November update.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

White Balance of Native also works well as that is a specific value and not constantly changing like Auto. Flat is also great for the color mode if you want to do color correction with editing. Great choices for max editing control. Great questions. The three different settings under Raw Audio apply various levels of processing to the Raw audio tracks if set to anything but Off. My understanding is these only apply to the in-camera audio only and will apply multiple audio tracks from the different mics with varying levels of processing based on the selection under Raw Audio. In that situation I recommend keeping Raw Audio to Low for maximum control with audio editing later on. I’ll test this out next time I have my external mic connected and see if setting it to Low offers me additional audio and if that comes from my external mic or the in-camera mics. Thanks for the clarification on the mods.

[@zaenventure]

I'm new to gopro 10, I'm experiencing freeze or lagging videos from the gopro to my laptop. until finally I can not edit in davinci resolve. do you know how to solve it.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Yes, so this sounds like your device may not be handling footage with the h.265 codec well. H.265 is a challenging codec for a lot of devices to handle. A couple options: set the GoPro to only allow for the h.264 codec to be used. This will create some resolution and frame rate limits. The other main option is to make sure you render your footage first in DaVinci and/or use a proxy for editing such as making that footage 1080p resolution via a proxy while editing.

[@zaenventure]

Omg thanks a lot my problem solve it. I try use 2.7k 60 fps and set the h.264. thanks a lot dude. Later when you go to Indonesia, contact me and I will treat you to delicious food here. and take you to a beautiful place on the island of Java.

Hey thanks for sharing this, I really lke the Hero 10. But when im using the settings you recommend for talking to the camera my skin tones looks weird. The only thing I see I have not done is setting the white balance to 5500K. Can that be the reason why my skin tones looks weird?( I have it on auto). You got a new subscriber from Norway.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

You’re welcome. White Balance can make a difference with skin tones. You could also try setting the Color to Flat or Vibrant instead of Natural to see if you like any of those better. It’s most likely either White Balance or Color affecting this. Thank you for your support!

[@ontheflyoutdoors735]

A great informative video. I have a question for you. If I was going to use a polarized lens for fishing videos should I change my shutter speed just like when using nd filters? Also will the polarized lens effect stabilization?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thank you. Polarizing lens do not have the same effect on stabilization as ND filters do. Generally with polarizing filters you can have Hypersmooth on as it is assumed these would be used in bright lighting. Shutter speed could be adjusted to twice the frame rate but generally this is not beneficial unless the lighting is low enough because it would still be too bright since the polarizing filter does not alter light in the same way or same degree as the ND filter. However, if the light is low enough to not need an ND filter with the shutter speed double the frame rate then you probably wouldn’t need a polarizing filter. So I’d keep shutter at Auto when using just a polarizing filter.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

I created a video dedicated to low light settings. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2eTm3WurL2Gg9k

[@thedarkzone1131]

Awesome vid. And very useful. I'm a beginner and have my GoPro10 for 3 weeks now. I'm struggling only with filming in the night/low light when I'm walking. A lot of graining. Do you have a suggestion what i can do to fix this. Kind regards.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thank you. Great question. So this could be if your ISO Max is set to 1600. You would likely want to bump that down to a Max of 800. This could also be due to Hypersmooth being turned on. Hypersmooth does not work well in low lighting due to how the electronic image stabilization functions. This video goes into detail on best low light settings and may be worth referencing for some of the other settings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIDVf4drmpJkq5Y

Thank you. I recommend either the Rode Wireless Go or the new DJI Wireless Mic that is being released in January 2022. It is important to note that you do need an adapter to connect the 3.5mm audio jack to the USB-C port on the GoPro. Or if you own the Media Mod you can connect the wireless mic directly via the 3.5mm port on that.

Awesome video!! and new sub from me. What about aspect ratio? It looks like all of your settings were in 4:3. That would have the bars on the sides correct? But all your videos while watching this were in 16:9 full screen it seemed. Thanks.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thank you and thank you for your support! When I film in 4:3 it can give me a bit more reframing flexibility up and down with the clip. The clip fills the frame horizontally on a 16:9 timeline but has some extra parts of the frame to work with at the top and bottom.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Basically that 4:3 translates to a 16:12 resolution and on a 16:9 that 12 translates to extra footage vertically.
