Really great GoPro tutorials. This guy speaks better English than 99% of native speakers. Very informative, clear and concise

[@MountMediaChannel]

Thank you Timothy!

[@benhikescamps]

Just purchased a Hero 10 and entering the world of GoPro for the first time. Looking to trying out these settings. Very, very clearly explained with great visuals. Many thanks from the UK. 👍🇬🇧

[@Justin-uc8sc]

Glad I could help brother 💪

[@djkase1]

Welcome down the rabbit hole. The camera is so versatile that at times it can be overwhelming trying to learn about all its capabilities.

[@JPBrasca]

Wow dude, this is hands down the most useful GoPro / manual camera operation video I've ever seen. It's like a college video coarse experience in minutes!

[@RVUntethered]

This was a game-changer for us! We changed a few things after your video and it helped us fix what was the most problematic for us AND we are getting some amazing night lapse videos! Thank you so much!

[@BlitzCylinderHeads]

Thanks for taking the time to share this great info. We all appreciate the hard work in creating this informative video.

[@meh_lady]

This was so helpful, making these adjustments improved my video quality significantly. Despite having balanced and diffused lighting my top down tutorial videos looked dim and the colors were drab. I have tried quite a few suggestions, but these actually worked! Many thanks!

[@AlenPesec]

Best settings video i watched and i watched quite a few!! Btw, i really like 100 min and 800 max ISO for both dark and light conditions. For free running, i see the bright shots still bright and 0 noise in the dark. For me personally, i like to just keep it on these settings all the time

[@KarlRock]

Thanks for the tips!

[@aayushsimha6642]

Omgggggggg Karl rock!!! Big fan

[@magazinexclusiveTV]

Excactly what I was looking for. Your tutorials are a treasure, I wish I have found them earlier!

[@eonsofficial]

[@KaMotoBill]

BEST VIDEO SETTINGS EVER !!! I've been having difficulties with my night settings lately and this one do the trick. Brilliant!

[@Tingtvph9226]

Iam so much amaze this action camera,because the camera is really clear the camera. thank you for sharing this video.

[@TUCOtheratt]

This is an awesome video. Thanks for so much concise and useful information.

[@FlyWithVeiga]

I’m literally in the airport now looking for solutions to this exact problem I’ve been having!! Can’t wait to film now, thank you! 🎥

[@Elevated805]

Thank you! My video from last night turned out super grainy, so I'm hoping putting these settings on will help! I'm going to try this tonight well I ride my motorcycle.

[@dream.machine]

Perfect tutorial! I've been going to the settings aforementioned on my own. However, I am a High Frame Rate videographer, and I always shoot 120fps and sometimes 60fps. So Low light is not going to look the best on my GoPro. However, I have found ways to edit my video at ISO 200 in Low Light and Night Time and still get decent enough qualities at 4k 120fps. It's of course not the best quality but works for me, especially for a GoPro. Awesome video!

[@AdventureTimMedia]

Great video mate. I really enjoy your content. All the best

[@SavvyRaccoon]

I try these tips. Thank you for explaining it. I have to shoot most of my videos indoors so this will be very helpful,

[@AndrejAvi-x4b]

Hallo Werner! 😊 Top Video. Du erklärst alles so verständlich und gelassen. Ich konnte dir einfach folgen und die Einstellungen vornehmen. Mach weiter so! LG

[@Beniamin1968]

i am afraid to say that if you use the gopro as action camera , for example mountain biking , you cant use the settings you are talking about because the motion blair is anemy especially with low light condictions like forest, so i personally realized that in my gopro 7 faster shutter speed gives me better result iso high to 1600 and exposure -1.5 forces automatically higher shutter speed

[@alfonsoafricano8415]

First time viewer… thank you for the video, it has been the best one I have seen…

[@anjuupadhyay4775]

Very very clean presenation and summary........ Thank you. Have a good one.......

Just changed the settings! Hope this works better than the earlier settings! Thanks a lot

[@TylerAYoutube]

Thanks for the guide... I hope go Pro 11 makes something low light friendly

[@TylerAYoutube]

No thanks

[@truthseeker6804]

good video other people can learn. i learnt these through manual tries. i realized 24fps is better in low light, also i use low shutter 1/25, much better than raising iso and i use a gimbal. but in summary after several analysis, action cameras are just not meant for low light. people should buy a real camera, and save yourself the headache. as i did, especially if youre going to use a gimbal. even dji pocket is a better low light camera.

[@Pitti_xD]

What min iso do you recommend for night drifting in the mountains head mount gopro (no light other than those from cars). From my first try gopro footage is terrible, my phone did better. But its hard to mount him on my head or something 😂

How would these suggestions lend to a low-light sport like dodgeball, where the camera is in a static position, but capturing fast moving subjects?

[@marco.pereira]

Thanks for the tips.

[@arquivo225]

Nice video! I have both Gopro 10 and DJI Pocket 2 and the little Pocket is WAY better on low light. And Rode wireless Go for better audio. Even iphone 13 is not that good using the ultrawide mode.

[@peruemprende10]

Is that true dij pocket bsterry sucks ?

[@moxnix]

Maybe GoPro will improve the light issue the GP 13. With my GoPro Hero 10 Black I don't have an issue with the low light you speak of in the city or where there is artificial light. As one can see in my night rides in low or no light the issue is when I hit the trails or dark roads. When I review the videos often I see a lot of noise and the images are shaky on gravel roads using the HyperSmooth setting. Per your recommendation I will experiment with a lower FPS

[@City_Breeze-1]

Interesting information 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍

Great to know! Thank you 👍

[@sutv6754]

Great. Thank you. Very helpful. I am shooting some B roll with my Gopro 11 at a dark jazz club with not so great indoor stage lighting. I month ago I shot and it had not much noise. Last week I was doing the same everything and it was very noisy. I am trying to figure out where I'm going wrong. I was shooting at 5.3 and I may have left the stabilization on.

[@Drummasterjay]

Exactly what I’m getting the 11 for! Keep us updated on the videos after trying his tips!

[@sutv6754]

@@Drummasterjay Hey Jay. I'm doing another jazz club shoot next Sun. I have been studying a bunch about low light with go pro and wrote down a bunch of new settings from some of my KZbin instructors. Things like turning off the stabilizer when mounted on a wall or tripod. So I expect to do better on this next shoot. I'll let you know.

[@sutv6754]

@@Drummasterjay LOL That's funny. I just reaslized you were the video I watched about low light. I'll let you know how I make out.

[@Gmar69]

Hi, I have a GoPro Hero10. Do you recommend the optional light accessory for indoor filming, and the external mic that they sell?

[@BadDog_Films]

Very helpful as always.thank you.

[@Pitti_xD]

24 shutter speed will be bad if I move with camera or if the filmed objects will move?

[@babyboy1971]

What do you think about using GoPro labs to change the settings that are running behind the scenes? I’ve heard that changing some things in there can help with low light shots. Do you recommend GoPro labs or do you think that’s a bad idea? Also, would these settings work in an indoor mall or market, where light is not as low as night, but still relatively low?

[@MountMediaChannel]

Not really - I don't think the shot lab settings will help to improve the image quality significantly

[@albertliu5760]

very pro explanation

[@escapekayak]

Super useful. Thanks

[@ammaruchi1668]

great information

[@TheFloridaBikeVlogger]

dumb question, if there is alot of light, I would turn the shutter speed all the way up?

[@ClydeasterzVlogz]

Sir wat would be the settingg for hero 11 hypersmooth ? In low light ?b

[@ClydeasterzVlogz]

Sir i usually do moto vlog so my hero 11 is attached to my helmet while driving and recording , is there any good specific settings for that , since theres always motion happening , and sometimes vlogging while not driving in lowlight still , including indoors .

[@thomas7777-i2v]

If you do not want to use the flat color profile, how do you prevent the oversaturation of blue that the GoPro often does at low light?

[@KiechangVlogs]

nice thank u

[@definingslawek4731]

Please goprooo, give us a 1 inch sensor 10bit colour hero11. Great video btw

[@definingslawek4731]

@GregTheNomad It's not really what I'm looking for. I want a major improvement in image quality from a hero 9 or a hero 10, the new insta360 is still a tiny sensor with 8bit colour and to my eye does not look much different to a hero 10. They're both great cameras, just for my use case I want the best image quality I can fly on a 5 inch fpv drone. For most people it's not a big deal though because if they want more image quality they can just run a bigger camera.

[@Reactionwithveeshal]

Brother i have issue on my GoPro Hero 8 black. ...green lines in display please tell me what should i do???....

No, Merano - Italy

[@jardrabik]

Hi, generaly good, but quality comparison between 5,3k and 4k in low light indikates, that 5,3k is better. This shows also your split image. Base on what do you have oposit impression?

[@MountMediaChannel]

Hi Jaro, you probably can't properly appreciate the difference because of KZbin compression. Some of the image noise is lost due to the compression. On the computer, the comparison is clearly in favor of 4K.

[@RubiconV]

What was the RGB light you have? I’m happy to buy from a link that helps you since your videos help me!

[@bikingchupei2447]

you need to install the gopro labs firmware and use the Maximum Shutter Angle function.

[@FuriIstvanMatyas]

Dear Mount Media. Please help me what is the best setup for Ski/Snowboarding in cloudy / snowing condition? Ive tried to lots of setup but every shots were awful. 😢 i have GoPro 8 and 10 also. In sunny condition it worked well. Thank You in advance. Br. Mátyás.

[@MountMediaChannel]

There is no real solution to this. The contrast is simply missing. The only thing I can recommend is not to shoot with the flat color profile. Maybe the best is to use the Vibrant color profile.

Good gopro💞🥰🥰

Dud I am facing video size. When I make a video length of 8 mints my go pro take 4gb space?

Hi, can't really help you since I never tried the Osmo pocket 2

[@Robertsson]

Hi Werner, I have rewatched this video and I have still not gotten the idea why is it important to choose framerate 25 instead of 24 just because we (in Europe) are in PAL region? Does it matter if we upload to IG, FB, YT? Just to match the frequency of street lights to avoid flicker? (50 Hz)

[@MountMediaChannel]

Yes, exactly - modern led lights will not cause any problems but older lights can lead to ugly flickering and at least here in Italy there are still lots of them in use

[@E9ONE1]

Aloha~ i am still trying to figure out what would be best setting for my gp9 and gp10 low light night shootings like night time parades or night/early morning drive video scenes ...so far i have tested/ tried many different settings but i guess low light/night scenes are not for gopros.the outcome is alwsy Too Dark or Too Noisy if its bright...i still do not know what is best setting yet?... i have decided not to spend anymore money with gopros i am searching other device to replace my GPS 9 and 10. *sad*

hi bro. i've got the 11. i'm going to try filming surfing POV at night. i have a scuba diving headlamp, and another light with the camera with different lights, i think for underwater, but i won't be. i was going to go for high fps, so this has been an eye opener. i will obviously have to mess around. any ideas where i should start? i think i should have a lot of light, but not much colour. for action sports like my channel, it's all about fps. i don't require much stabalisation, but if you have the time you can check out what i usually film, the plan is to do the exact same at night, hopefully with the option of slomo so some fps. i just started using 4k, but have backed down to 2.7, 240fps, 100-400, medium sharpness, -05ev high bit rate. i mean i think the majority of the shot will be 1-2 metres away, shot straight at with 2 bright torches, but everything else black. thanks for the vid anyway i've learnt a lot more already

[@MountMediaChannel]

Hi, are you from Byron Bay - great place! I've been there many years ago. Slow Motion and Low Light do not combine well. The more frames per second, the shorter the exposure time. I would also shoot in low light in 4K. Fix the shutter to at least twice the frame rate, otherwise the video will look terrible, even if you don't need great stabilization.
