Finally, someone heard me! Got a GoPro black 10....but just don't know nothing and never did any editing in life! You are a savior. Thanks a zillion. I am subbed and will be following your vids. Thanks, man. I am so grateful. You patiently explained everything clearfully. Awesome!

Thank you. I appreciate your feedback and support!

[@chrismacdonald.6295]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am lucky enough to have the Hero Black 11 but not yet had a chance to get out there and use it. I learnt a lot from this, especially the white balance settings for dusk and dawn. Also EV settings were useful. (I’m mainly a street photographer so this is a big transition for me but I’m keen to embrace the GoPro family. Thanks again for the time you put into this.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

You’re welcome and I really appreciate your feedback. I hope your enjoy your new GoPro!

[@matthewsumpter8238]

Actually of all the many GoPro videos I've seen this one is at the top for most helpful. There is a lot of information here and that was exactly what I wanted/needed to hear. And it was also very helpful that you went into the other modes as well, and did not just do video.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

[@waynebrunner1826]

I just bought a pre-owned GP 8 for one purpose, which is to try and document a few special MC rides while I still can. I had NO idea how complex these are. This tutorial is absolutely fantastic! I'd be willing to buy a quick settings guide with this info, which would save me from either taking numerous screenshots or attempting to keep notes. Neither of which is a realistic solution. At my age trying to remember this is not an option. Had I not seen this, it's quite likely this would have either eventually gone in the box with all the other cameras I got very little use of, or put for sale. I so regret not having this technology available for the few times the wife and I did some very risky ocean kayaking with 13' Feathercraft's with homemade sails. THANKS SO MUCH!

[@jgtollnairealvest]

Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I even took notes in Evernote as a reminder of what I could consider being my new default settings. Thanks again.

Great video! I just bought a GoPro 12 and I love it but I have noticed that sometimes on certain skin tones things look a bit over sharpened and you can see a lot of blemishes on people’s skin, almost looks too sharp. If I’m just shooting scenery, everything looks gorgeous but when I’m shooting people or interviewing people, their skin looks a little sharp or even artifacts a bit. What do you suggest for better results? Sharpness to low? And for ISO max, is 400 outside ok? Thanks for the tips!!!

[@HalFrench]

Excellent video. Thank You. Keep up the good work. I have a GoPro 11 that's mounted on my motorcycle. What video settings would you recommend? All highway riding and speeds up to 75mph with desert and mountain terrain. Thanks

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thank you. If you would like to edit and have maximum vertical and horizontal flexibility with your footage later on I recommend using the 8:7 full frame mode in 5.3K 30fps. If you don't need that much flexibility then I recommend doing the 5.3K resolution using the wide or ultrawide lens if you prefer more of the landscape around you. As for frame rate you could choose 60 fps if there is a chance you'll want to slow anything down. Otherwise you could use 24 or 30 fps.

[@ncwild]

Great video !! What setting do you reccommend for road bike cycling, with the camera mounted upside down on a Garmin out front mount ? I want to be able to extend the battery for 2-3 hour rides, so I have been powering on and off, getting short clips. Thanks.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

If you want to edit that footage then I recommend using the cinematic settings in the video specific for the Hero 10. If you don’t want to edit or only lightly edit then I recommend using these settings with a few tweaks. I would set Hypersmooth to High and then maybe change your lens to superview to get that full immersive experience. Also, shoot in 5.3K 60 if you want to edit and if you want the option to do some light slow motion from your footage. If you don’t want any slow motion then do 24 or 30 fps.
