Thanks for the sweet tutorial vid! Do you use Adobe Premier?

[@coltraindontworryboutit9990]

Brett Barley did you shred yesterday? I was boogin on sea isle hills. Bro the paddle was an arm breaker but it was worth getting pitted and spitted on some 7 -8 ft chunks. I was going to go paddle out at the turns but there were some dudes doing step-offs so I didn’t want to get in the way.

Thanks for that Brett! Just bought 2 of your items! appreciate it. keep on riding

[@CoreeIsMe]

Thanks so much for all your tutorials! I really appreciate that you don't just target beginners, but you also target people who are a little more advanced surfers. Most tutorials are on the basics. Could you make a tutorial for bailing in heavy barrels?

This is awesome.... thanks Brett. Love watching your edits!

Brett Barley is the man! I just posted my first two POV videos using this info. Thank you Brett🙏

[@johnnybarrett3445]

Duuuude. I literally packed my GoPro away years ago because even when I was getting tubes I could never see the roof of it flowing overhead, and I’ve been shooting in 720p this whole time. Your tip on using 4:3 then compressing down to 16:9 got me so hyped to get it back out again. LEGEND!!

[@brettbarley]

love it!!

[@Surfpep]

You're a hero brett. Thanks for the tips dude. Keep shredding 👌

[@OkinawaWild]

So, so helpful! Picked up my first GoPro, and really struggling with footage. I don't really care for filming myself (board nose mount), but haven't been able to get POV to work well, so it's what I default to... This video really helped out. One thing I really struggle with is POV making waves look almost flat... 16:9 in 1080 Superview really flattens it out. A head-high wave almost looks like it's knee high. Great tip on adjusting the camera in the water! Thanks!

[@Walkwiththefatherabove]

Awesome video, very helpful. Was skeptical about getting the go pro but now seeing that mount and your suggestions I’m in... thank you!

[@bestself2day650]

Hey Brett. Thank you for being selfless in your videos. I have had a GoPro for several years now but only started using it last year for surfing. So many of your pointers have helped me in this video and several others. Lastly, I’ve just started creating some videos for getting in surf shape when not living near the ocean. Any suggestions on how to gain traction? I appreciate you.

[@Kahawai68]

Thanks heaps. Planning to get a new GoPro before my Java trip in July. Hoping to nail some footage then.

[@MrRickyricardo1984]

Thank You!

[@benrowe681]

Great video !!! Did you mention about having image stabilisation on/off

[@brettbarley]

I don't believe so... I just mentioned what frame rate you CAN turn it on. I personally don't like the stabilization, as it crops into the image by 10%, so you lose part of the barrel view. the Hypersmooth IS really cool though, but I'll more use that on land than in water.

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

Awesomeness

[@heymofo1981]

Great video, just wish we had more sunshine in the winter in the UK as the gopro is awful in lowlight

[@thomassummerlin8006]

Thank you so much Brett. That was super helpfully. I got a question do you use the waterproof housing or just the skeleton mount ? Can you do a tutorial on your solo shoot. keep the videos coming Yee Yee.

[@brettbarley]

Thomas Summerlin I do not use the dive housing, just the skeleton one as you saw in the video. All good for last few years since Hero 5 launch.

[@southernstopphotography8998]

Picked up a combo through your link, hopefully you get credit for it... might want to add the combo mount/leash link if that’s an issue... loving the tutorials especially on surfing techniques. Hopefully I can put them to use soon, bc it has been too long since I have been in the water

[@brettbarley]

yew! hope you score some tubes to use it with.

[@connorpuckett7869]

awesome tips thanks what did you do to grow your channel when you first started?

[@brettbarley]

I started my channel in 2006 when KZbin started. Just posted surf edits when relevant. When I started the vlog in March 2018 with weekly videos... all I’ve done since is document my surf sessions. Which I already did prior to the vlog. I’ve been surfing professionally since 2008 so it’s been a natural transition content wise

Hey Brett, new subscriber here, thanks for sharing with so much passion - you have no idea how much it has positively affected my approach to surfing and I am sure so many others can say the same. Take care

[@brettbarley]

thanks!

[@peteheigelfishing]

its not even funny how much better my footage just got! Ive been using the pro settings and i didnt even need to put much effort into the colour grading

[@DANFSTEEL]

Good tips, I was surprised you did not Wifi connect via mobile so you can easily show the menus. Much easier to settings on Phone app. what about a link to the mouth mounts cant find one with that strap .

[@brettbarley]

Thanks! the links to the products are near the top of the video description... also i showed the menu via the gopro instead of my phone so people could see how to navigate through it all. not everyone is gonna use the app. i know i dont... it saves battery life not having wifi on.

[@troynichols9788]

[@brettbarley]

race.truck haha, funny enough, I actually just posted one on Facebook and Instagram a couple days ago

[@spunky-monkey-media]

Thanks for the tips! Just got GoPro Hero 9 to film my surf and cannot seem to find any information about using it without the protective casing, as the GoPro mount brackets (the attachment part) under the camera do not seem too sturdy for the camera weight. My setup is very similar to yours, no floaty protectice case. Although I know it is the leading action camera company in the world and their products are high quality, but was wondering maybe you would have some reccommendations about that? Thanks!

[@speaktostrangers]

Thanks Mate! Was there any reason ‘stabilisation’ is off on the advanced settings?

[@brettbarley]

stabilization crops into the shot... so you miss out on part of the barrel.

[@19bigotes94]

Excellent video! Just to be clear, when licking the lens, you mean the actual lens on the body correct? Not on a water housing, or screen protector, etc? Thanks!

[@brettbarley]

Oh my, no. Haha. Definitely mean licking the lens of the water housing.

[@19bigotes94]

@@brettbarley Ah, that clarifies a lot haha thank you!

Hi, is there a way to attach to gopro to the armband when I wanna take a break from filming?

[@puffandfluff359]

hey, another clear cut tutorial :) much appreciated, often wondered how high i should angle to actually capture the barrel so huge help. I really like the way you pull your frontside rotations, i can get them but consistency is where i struggle and i can only land to reverse. A tutorial or some tips would be amazing. Anyway, keep doing your thing and i'll keep watching :)

[@eddieprice1996]

Sup Brett, Lovin the vids. Had a few question if you had a minute. What post production do you use? When i try and watch vids from gopro on to the laptop (without post production software) its just bad quality, how'd i fix that? Thanks (if anyone else knows hit me up)

[@paulcrofootmorris8504]

Ouuuuu the cavesssss

[@joecondeelis5704]

Thank you Sir! Can you tell me if it’s really 1000 % waterproof from all your experience? Thank you.

[@brettbarley]

Not 1000% but 100% I’ve used the Hero 5, 6, & 7 without the underwater housing and the only issue is sand getting stuck in the hinges of the battery door. So you need to make sure it’s clean so it locks all the way.

[@tylergriffin263]

Do you use a housing? Have you ever been worried that the screw attaching the GoPro to the mount will come loose?

[@lacagoule2580]

HI, I'm French and I don't really understand, which setting is best for surfing? Beginner? intermediate or advanced?

[@cboyz8404]

its all about if you want to edit your videos or not and if you just want to put them straight to your computer or phone just use the beginner settings. :)

[@erikleypoldt8275]

Anyone used the session 5 for barrel shots/mouth mount? Lighter, smaller, and does it matter having no LCD screen? Thinking i'll go the session5. Cheaper also. Thanks for the tips
