My GoPro HERO7 Black Settings for FPV Drone Videos

[@MJ-bj1gn]

Wow, I think this is the best gopro tutorial for fpv. Brilliant video, drew!

[@biscuitsalive]

Little tip for you. If you are flying in and out of dark areas, then the exposure change will be smoother if you allow auto shutter speed and allow slightly higher iso max. If you limit it to 100iso it only has one variable to change. The shutter. And that’s one less tool the camera has for quick exposure changes. So you are more likely to get a ugly “clunk” as it gets to raise exposure when you’ve just flown into a much darker zone. I will choose smooth transitions with a little added noise (whilst in dark section) Over a clunky transition any day.

Hey drew I solved the polarpro vignetting a few weeks ago by heating the filter to loosen glue, popping out the glass, then spraying the gold inside part with a matte black spray paint. Done! Best ND filters in the game after doing this.

[@perlang9381]

can you make a video about how you colorgrade your videos! That would be realy cool

[@nathanw32]

PLEASE

[@LouisLuzuka]

*subbed* much love from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 I just got my go pro for my birthday and I want to build my first quad! So grateful to find this channel 😍

[@DangerDavefpv]

Drew thanks for suming up the bobble I have when I flew behind dirt track car.. thought I was doing something wrong

[@DroneOn]

I'm back watching this video again. Thanks for helping me. Your explanation helps alot.

[@PmJ727272]

How a pro fpv pilot lands 8:48 ahahhah great video tough, helped me get amazing videos! The iso max did really help a lot!

[@Passitwithcare]

Drew... 12:50min gave me chills😍 Your flight plus the Music 👌 Thx for your content 👍

[@swissfreek]

I dig that all your setting recommendations are actually feasible on a lot of GoPros, so those of us that are still rocking (for example) a Session 5 can do all the things you recommend until we can splurge for the Hero 7. And if you mix and match cameras for different quads/wings, you can keep your footage consistent. Not that I’m saying the Hero 7 isn’t awesome, just appreciating the fact that this video wasn’t “OMG, the only way to get good footage is with this magical unicorn setting that only the Hero 7 Black has!”

[@nage83]

that flying puts you in a trance

[@outboxfpv4360]

Nice one. But each time do we have to take our the gopro from the mount to do the setting it will finally damage either the cam or the mount

[@EmilWilkensRC]

You are born to vlog! Thanks man

[@farrrkas]

How this footage has no stabilization? I don't get it..

[@fanboy43]

I don't get it either. Maybe the hypersmooth is chop the image FOV that he don;t like.

[@wolfsblutinktattoos]

Nice Video...can i use your Settings for Longerange Cinematic Videos too???

[@stevo4535]

Thanks drew, I'm about to get my first ever gopro and its going to be the H7, as somehow I am hired to film some golf course hole fly overs. This helps a bunch. Cheers from michigan

[@HolaACchillin]

well i finally made it to this video... I was trimming a friends fpv video and noticed something very interesting. Search go pro drone camera angle and bang, this video was #1. Very good intel, going to apply setting asap.

[@DroneMaverick]

Almost skipped this video cause I don't have the GP7B, but WOW, can't wait to watch this again in the near future!

[@joshuanesbit]

your footage is beautifully graded

[@julzgatfpv]

Thanks for this video! I was battling the change in contrast now I won’t have that happen!! Thanks a bunch!

What about a contrasting beard colour?

[@wolfsblutinktattoos]

What is the Name of the Beat at 11:20???

[@wesleytaylor-rendal5648]

I must have missed something. Where does he connect the gopro up to a transmitter? What means of transmission are you using? Is it pal?

[@MagicFPV]

What do you do if you’re in the UK and have constant great overcast sky? 🌫

[@bandobandit353]

Clouds help flatten light but cause contrast issues when the camera is trying to expose sky and ground. This is one case where you might be better off locking exposure and letting the sky blow out. But if you're flying both indoors and outdoors in the same flight then you're skrewed...

[@bandobandit353]

Otherwise protunes and try to fix it in post ;)

[@MagicFPV]

Bando Bandit wow, that’s really interesting! Thanks. I’m still not sure what to do as I fly a lot of bandos inside and out with mad uk weather. I’ll experiment and keep this in mind I suppose 👍

[@claibornedavis]

This was supremely helpful. Thank you for breaking down all the details and for the links.

[@IanBeaty]

Wow, I have been trying to figure out how to get my Hero 7 Black footage with a flat color profile to look normal again. Great explanation. Thank you so much for posting this - it has helped me a ton!

[@Cloudyyyy88]

You can also use luts. They are downloadable packs which have preset colour grade settings.

[@jpmkiv]

Thanks! I was going to go 800max ISO. First flight with that 7 left me a lot of questions, thanks for answering!

[@WillardFPV617]

Also I definitely suggest snagging some TBS jello guards and printing the bumpers to hold them. You can print a bumper for every ND level so its a quick swap for any lighting!

[@benwoodard6844]

Hey Drew, have you thought about a version of the skyline or with skinnier but thicker arms. So it would be more suited for a four and one?

[@slaggedfpv599]

Thanks for this video, I'm working on getting my first go pro.. for my first maiden flight on my 5in.. taking it slow til I get all dialed in..

[@yolofpv2936]

Great vid dude! I’d love to see a vid on your take on color grading. I really suck at it and I feel like that’s why a lot of ppl don’t use flat profile

[@mrmidwakh]

Hey dude really cool video and thanks for the tips. I had a question, bought an armattan badger 5 inch bnf model recently and wondering what's the best way to mount my GoPro hero7 black on it? Any advice would be great thanks

[@chad9160]

awesome vid! thanks for the tips:) just wondering if you use 2.7k 30fps with no stabilization why don't you stick with the hero 5 session for weight purposes? lighter kwad and heavier wallet lol

[@yosam.mp4]

By the way guys, set the timeline resolution down to Full HD/HD that yoou can cut better and it renders faster. You still can render the clip at the end as a 4k clip.

[@itsallaboutthekarma5881]

Drew i would like it if you made a tutorial video on how to create a video after you get all the footage

[@OffsetFPV]

Hey Andrew, what tempered glass do you use? have you found one to be better then others? would really appreciate a Reply....... thanks for your time.

[@LeDribFPV]

They all seem about the same. The ones I linked you get 3 for the screen and the front glass at a good price do I usually buy that ine

[@OffsetFPV]

@@LeDribFPV that's dood appreciate the reply. what you think about the white gopro? I like it's more visible if ejected. but it doesn't go with the black drones.

[@kestrelflyer7637]

Can you make a video on color grading? I used all of Willy's tips but I still want the sky and AZ trees to contrast and pop but I think I'm overdoing the color contrast. Any tips?

[@bandobandit353]

My best advice is to learn how to use color curves. Gopro's tend to expose to the right, so normally you can add contrast just by bringing the shadows and mids down and leave the highs alone...

Awesome video, brother. I liked it better than willies. Glad you did one, too. Yours was much easier to follow. I turned Willies off half way through - too much info.

Hey maybe you or someone here in the comments can help me out with a little advice and understanding. I have a holystone hs700 with 1080k that I want to switch out for a camera with further wifi range. How do I go about properly doing so? I want to put this gopro hero cam on but how do I use it for my fpv flying? Can I sync it to my controller that came with my drone? Is there an fpv support app? My drone can fly out a mile but after about 300-500ms I loose camera reception and start flying blind. Depending on the area. I need advice and guidance please and thank you.

GoPro setup fpv transmitter to live vedio footage like fpv cammeras how it's possible?

GoPro needs to put the 7 black tech in a Session form factor! I think the FPV community should petition this!
