Thanks heaps man I really appreciate that! Glad you dig it 🙏🙏

[@oldenoughtowatchify]

I appreciate the explanation in this video. I was just watching a couple videos talking about how an ND Filter would help achieve better motion blur in recordings but it's more about the frame rate to shutter speed setting! Lowering your shutter speed brings in MORE light which washes out your shot unless you use the ND Filter to lower that light to get a cleaner shot. THANK YOU

[@aceofclubskid]

Just a minor point of clarification. I do strongly recommend using an ND filter on a gopro, makes your footage look a lot better and helps with dialing in exposure, BUT there is more to the story. Doubling the shutter speed of your frame rate is the most common approach to video, and it is a standard. However, you can fuss with these settings to achieve certain artistic effects. simply lowering your shutter speed (ie 1/60 at 60 fps, rather than 1/125) will get you more motion blur, you can also play with this to your advantage, especially at high frame rates. Lower shutter speed means more blur, higher will result in "choppy" looking footage if you go to far. When you increase the frame rate (and thereby the shutter speed) you are effectively giving the camera dramatically less light. The camera's auto iso setting will have to go up to compensate, making your footage more grainy. YOU DO NOT NEED TO SHOOT HIGH FRAME RATE ALL THE TIME. If you're trying to improve your image quality, fuss about with different shooting settings based on your preference, and the available lighting. "Set it and forget it" shooting is never going to get you the best image quality. You have to learn how the camera works, then understand what you need to adjust for best results.

[@MotoFeelz]

I only have an ND 16 haha. So yes

[@c0pyimitati0n]

@@MotoFeelz boom! I was just gonna get a 16 as well since I mainly shoot in broad daylight. Thanks 👍

[@TheBikeFather]

Traditionally the shutter speed is normally double the frame rate. However, I heard that for moto videos, or in general motorsports, because everything is moving much faster than normal, the shutter speed should be higher 3-4x times, apparently. What are your thoughts on this?

[@LifeofPal]

With high shutter speed it make video judder because every frame is sharp and clear, and no blur blending between the frames.

[@JablanMX]

Do I need to adjust the ISO on the gopro? Some say you need to adjust it.

[@robertwesterfield3454]

[@pokevibes88]

Nd 16 filter video settings for a hero 9 ...do you have anything like that would help

[@Johanmoto2022]

If you lock your shutter at 1/60 and ride in lower light conditions you would get the same results even without the ND filter. As long as the footage doesn't get overexposed. Am i right?

[@MotoFeelz]

100% bro 👊👊

[@ceciliatabbi4218]

How do you pick between the filters? Do you look at the preview on the gopro to determine if its filtering enough light, or do you simply take a guess and whack one on and hope for the best? I've been struggling to get a good camera angle and am keen to up my game but this is a little confusing having to choose between them.

[@gsv9773]

If I have a case like ulazi do I have to remove the GoPro every time I switch to a ND filter?

[@Fabi2slow]

Hahah 3 years later but what about the iso can that stay auto or should it be changed to a set number ?

[@vinzvf]

The best video which explains the ND filter concept ! Thanks

[@rapaent]

Thanks for sharing..... Yes, the 180-degree rule is very important for that nice motion blur but, GoPros have a huge problem between ND filters and Hypersmooth. ND's on GoPros are great in very bright scenes and some sunsets but, other than that useless unless you turn off Hypersmooth. Hypersmooth needs all the light it can get, without it, your footage is jittery due to being digital. Best solution that I have heard of for using ND's is the use of a gimbal with Hypersmooth turned off. This situation would give you the best use of the 180-degree rule for great motion blur for most situations. Thanks again for sharing. 👍😊

[@minivandetta]

This was the most informative but concise video on the topic, ty broski

[@notsnho]

Can you get this effect without the camera cover thing?

[@MotoFeelz]

Only if it's dark, like just after sunset, or in a tunnel

[@R3-Freedom]

can nd filter use at night also? ND16 for day ND8 for night?

[@Numberplate119]

Hey Sir, what means EV? (EV: 0 & EV: N/A) What would you recommend if you have mixed conditions? Example; I drive my motorcycle through a dense forest during the day and then back on the road?

[@wolfontheroad00]

hello I have a gopro 9, to make this type of video with filters, how should I set the stabilization? high low or boost? bye thank you

[@LuxuryRumble]

Amazing video ! so for my last car shooting shot I put ND filter then I forgot to change shutter speed to manual and didn't get great look but here is my question! I realized inside the car shot was darker and with AUTO shutter speed and ND filter on the footage became a bit noisy even in bright light! but I'm thinking maybe inside the car to use ND filter #4 and manual shutter speed hopefully will be fixed! Set this shutter speed with 24FPS is not easy for a car that constantly changes the speed and goes through different light situations! Will be great to explain please!

[@Tesh-Dono]

Could you drop the iso to get rid of some of the exposure? Or would vids still be overexposed and need an ND Filter?

[@batyrenko]

How do you know which ND filters to use in particular weather conditions? I have Osmo pocket and it shows me current exposition. So I use manual mode to measure amount of light and apply proper filter. In gopro there is no EV indicator. So you have to do it approximately? Thanks.

[@OutbackOutlaw]

I’m gonna invest now. I’m going to the link immediately. I have the GP 8 and I’m looking for the media mod for the camera as well

[@MotoFeelz]

[@OutbackOutlaw]

Moto Feelz well just purchased the purple panda, the mic adaptor, the long arm, the ND filter and tried to get the rode but it don’t send to my address. All good.

[@1osmit]

Can you use superview with this filter?

[@MotoFeelz]

Sure can - that’s what you’re looking at in all of my vids 👊

[@alex_rodriguez777]

stupid question, but can an ND filter be used at night?

[@MotoFeelz]

There’s no really point using an ND filter at night as the whole idea of an ND filter is to restrict the amount of light reaching the sensor so that you can extend the shutter speed. If you use one at night you’d have to slow the shutter down to the point where you’d have a constant blurry image, or super grainy image from the high ISO.

[@evdinga]

Do you keep Hyper Smooth off when you're riding with the ND's to avoid the jittery issue I've heard/seen? The free rides seem smooth but also nicely exposed! Got a Hero 9 on the way and hoping to get some good footage on sunny days!

[@MotoFeelz]

I get asked this a fair bit! I’ve never had an issue and never knew there was one. Hyper smooth all the way baby! The Hero 9 looks like a true winner! Good luck with it 🤘

[@rapaent]

Hypersmooth needs al the light it can get. Due to it being digital, once you place ND's on it takes some of that light away causing the jittery effect. Best to turn off Hypersmooth when using ND's.

[@lancele9]

If I go skiing in a very bright sunlight day with no clouds, is it necessary to have ND Filter? I will need to turn on Hypersmooth to help with the vibration of Skiing. I just used Freewell ND16 today with Settings at 5K, 30 FPS, 1/60 Shuttle Speed and the videos came out as Over-Exposed. Do I need to make other adjustments in GoPro Hero9 to make it work? Or do I need ND filter at all for a very bright sunlight day with no clouds and sunlight reflection from the snow?

[@MotoFeelz]

You need a darker ND filter! The higher the number the darker the tint. If it’s super over exposed try 2 steps up to a ND64, otherwise step it up one to ND32.

[@epowell01]

[@throttletribevn]

do i need cpl?

i assume that by increasing the motion blur with a longer exposure per frame we also can get rid of the background artefacts made by action cams, right? they get less visible, the moving background look more washed out than digitaly oversharpened while the bike and the more less static things your are looking at keep more detail, right?.

[@MotoFeelz]

Correct. Although you'll need to keep your head steady if you want to grab a sharp image of your bike or whatever you want seen in detail

@@MotoFeelz I see thanks, yeah I guess a small light steady cam accesory for helmet action cams would be such a nice thing from the action can industry, until then I guess we will have to do it the traditional way 😂😂

Hey Rob I have a question about the ND filters. Do you combine it with hypersmooth or not?

[@Marcus_R]

Hypersmooth doesn't work correctly anymore once you install nd filters and adjust shutterspeed to the 180° rule. The footage will have motion blur but will also be definitely more shaky unless you're using a gimbal. The problem is: hardly any youtuber tells about this issue.

[@MotoFeelz]

I haven’t had any issues with mine. And like I tell everybody, I never knew this was even an issue. So yea I run hypersmooth with the ND

Hey Rob, great vids you've inspired me to get into the ND game. Still using a Hero 4 and I tried an ND16 in bright light at the weekend at 27k 24fps and 1/48. Towards the sun was washed out though and away from it super dark, with the quality reduced to looking like 720p. Perhaps the cheap filters are just garbage as i struggled to find any. Maybe the answer is that 360 RS upgrade (affiliated of course).

[@Jake-dc3bv]

Hey, it's nice to see a biker make a video about how to film on a bike! Just quick question about your settings. Do you use hypersmooth at all when using the filters? I've heard you can't and they will ruin the video, however, where I live the roads are pretty shitty so it's nice to have the stabilisation. Cheers!

[@Thumpor]

If I would like more motion blur, do I change the ND Filter or Shutter speed?

[@MotoFeelz]

BOTH! If you want more motion blur you need to extend the shutter speed which will allow more light to hit the sensor, which means you'll need a darker grade ND filter (higher number)

[@petrolmajk]

double shutter speed is to low for GoPro, image gets jittery because hypersmooth breaks. You can still achieve motion blur with 1/125 when shooting at 24/30 fps and the jitters get away. Even shooting at 1/250 isn't that bad

syumassh haha awesome to hear bro! I guess with GoPro it’s be a bit of trial and error until you get used to knowing which one to use with how bright / how slow your shutter. GoPro’s don’t have an exposure meter so you’d be judging from the viewfinder which can be risky as it may not be accurate.
