[@RehaAlev]

Loving the new GoPro Hero7. As you guys know I skipped the Hero6, but was happy to pick up the Hero7. Stay tuned for more GoPro related content!

[@cobrakaii5583]

Reha Alev thanks so much, my gopro keep looking terrible when I edit using flat. If I use gopro colour, can I still edit the colour or use luts or better leave it just it is

[@RehaAlev]

Casey Popmusic depends on the LUT. Since most will use LUTs with flat color profiles, they increase contrast and saturation heavily. You will most likely end up with too much contrast (crushed blacks, blow out highlights) and too much color. You may have to pull back in post.

[@cobrakaii5583]

Thanks so much, now my video looks much better, I nearly gave up

[@sosteve9113]

Thank you for showing

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

I have now spent in 3 days (new camera 7/black ) 11 hours.EVERY possible combo of protune.All my (both out and indoor) is total dogshit. I assume camera is not broken or card. its always WAY grainey or over exposed and or jittery. I just dont get how these youtubers get this quality. UNLESS they spend dozens of hours in post edit/changes I just want to turn on,hit record and be done.Cell phones take better less hassle video..it just works Am I missing something?

[@wizardsofwisconsin7400]

Why can’t all videos be this well done?? Incredible presentation and correct use of the English language! AND...you know what you’re talking about! Thanks a lot for the help in explaining the settings and when to use them. I can’t give this enough thumbs up to do it justice. Simply the best there is. Period.

[@moronbrothersKY]

Super super helpful! Nice to see an actual professional doing a review. Thank you so much!

[@videoformywebsite]

This is one of the best tips/advice vids I've seen on KZbin, regardless of subject. Plus, my Black 7 just arrived, and I am so excited! Thanks for the great sharing Reha Alev!

[@mchampag]

Just got a Hero7 Black as an auxiliary camera, and I'm really enjoying your introductory videos. Your presentation is calm and just the right pace, and I love your subdued color grading. Thank you for sharing!

[@donesy125]

Man this was very informative! I just got a Hero7 Black and I feel more educated on the settings now.

[@FlyerTuck]

You are the first one to tell me that the camera recorded separate audio files. I have seen them in the list when I'm moving files but I had no idea what they was for... Now I know. Thank you for the Fo-one-one on that issue!

[@actsfourtwelve5749]

hey Reha, thank you for your time! I'll stay tuned for more Gopro related content... this was short and sweet

[@ronnyhubbard4652]

Just found your channel brother. This is how a review should be! Great information, to the point! Subbed!

[@fallyhag]

Clear and concise with no waffle. Excellent. Thank you for sharing 👍

[@cptmorgans]

Picked one up yesterday, video was a big help, thanks.

[@PortofIndecision]

Thanks for a great video! Your pace and video illustrations were very easy to follow. Looking forward to trying out my new settings.

[@WarrenWalksNYC]

The entire presentation is excellent. What to press and why really helpful. And virtually every choice had some attention... perfect in every way for a relative newbie like myself.

[@vancamerawoman7399]

That was really good for a GoPro first timer. Thank you 🙂

[@SnowboardPaul]

Been waiting for this! Thanks!

[@stebbinss11]

[@Alkamos1]

[@mission5076]

Good stuff, very concise, best intro video I have watched. Keep up the good work!

[@Curiosityuk]

Just bought the GoPro 7 today so this is a great help. Thank you and thanks for the upload.

[@vincentoconnor726]

Excellent! Just got mine today and your video has clarified a number of things I was unsure about! Thank you very much.

[@gravitymediapro]

Very helpful and I 100% agree with your settings after trying them. Thank you!

[@tandhkruger]

WooWoo!!!!!! So so glad I found your page!!!! I just got my first GoPro ever...the Hero 7 Black...I have 4 dogs and 5 cats and am excited to do a youtube channel of all their wild and crazy days...lol....This info has already helped me tremendously!!!! I am a pet photographer so at least I can understand what you are recommending....so exciting....off to watch your other videos...thank you so much!!!! Greatly appreciated :)

[@NorthwestAdventurerNWA]

Thank you for the awesome tutorial. I’ll use your suggested settings and create something special with it!

Shooting in 4:3 aspect ratio even if you plan to use 16:9 later could be very useful if you plan to edit your videos. The sensor of the GoPro always captures in 4:3, in 16:9 mode it basically crops the video for you losing some information. Going from 4:3 to 16:9 post production does not degrade quality at all and you can choose how much of the bottom or top of the image you want, thus having the ability to correct the clip in case it's needed. If you don't plan to edit or don't want to spend time on changing the aspect ratio 16:9 is a good choice.

[@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse]

Surely a crop in cam or post is exactly the same quality wise. Either way you’re chopping some of the file off data wise.…🤔

[@mikenunnally5175]

Great vid!! Will be using these settings for my GoPro vids! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MichaelBlanksonGolf]

Super helpful. Very well explained and clear. Thanks so much. 👊🏾

Heya Reha! Thanks a million! I got one of these for Christmas and have been poking around the internet for a good "get started" video. You gave an absolute fantastic presentation. Easy to follow and you explained stuff as you went. This was the best video of its kind I've found. Planning to put the thing on my helmet and go for a ride in the morning. Great job!

[@RehaAlev]

Excellent overview, thank you

[@RockaShocka]

cheers for helping me find settings i never knew i had

[@stephenrichard9278]

Thanks very much. This is the video I’ve been looking for. Which for me is what is the potential for the go pro 7 as a general purpose video camera to expand the capabilities of my kit.

[@abhilash.29k]

Hi Reha, I really liked the ways you have explained things in the video. Excellent. Good going bro. Namaskara 🙏
