The Gopro Hero 9 with the MAX Lens Mod

[@RodaBusJalanan]

Thank you very much my friend for giving a review about Max Lens, and I also want to try it on my video

[@LambChopRides]

Insta360 been doing this for years! New X2 insta is amazing plus you get a full 360 view also!

That's true! Wanted to keep away from the 360 cameras as it makes me feel sick watching it back😂

Thank you for posting. The level horizon seems to be a significant improvement. It provides a better perspective when you are leaning on the turns.

Thanks Shaun, that’s a bit naughty of GoPro the buggers, I didn’t realise about the lens till you highlighted the fact, looking at getting one for my Morocco tour next year to use alongside my GP 7, hopefully price may come down by then too...all the best

GOPRO 9 and MAX LENS MOD is a brilliant combination. 360 degree horizon levelling is awesome

[@ronferguson1280]

Really good effort, the camera adds a new dimension to the ride. It shows a lot of the bike movement and helps with spatial awareness as well. Color saturation look good too.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Thanks Ron👍😜 that's the out of the box settings, I'll be giving them a tweak which will make it even better.

The 9 is a winner I reckon , unlike the Bridgestone tyres . Get yourself a set of R5 👍👏

Metzeler Sportec M9RR good in summer, pissing rain and so far good in cold. I had the M7RR and had them down at -11°C so hope my new boots are the same if not better in all conditions.

[@whittlad]

Hi Shaun, I hope you don't mind a trio of Gopro question on ND filters. Which ones do you use for vlogging? If you do use them, do you use them with hypersmoth on? Lastly, can they be fitted over the max lens mod (depending on type used). Personally, I think the Max lens mod is another great tool to use for creating footage and it will be interesting to see footage if not already done so for track days or hill/mountain climbs.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Hi Neill No problem at all! I use ND filters from Telesin, and yes hyper smooth is on. I keep looking but as yet no one has made any for the Max lens mod on the hero 9, just for the normal lens. Hopefully someone does!

[@adrianwatkins9629]

Absolutely awesome...bike vloggers must have selfie setup...

[@lanegustafson929]

The flat horizon is very cool.

[@GordysGoodworks]

I put road 5 gt's on mine, the rear is a 190. It is the exact same width as the 200 stock tire, and only 3mm smaller in diameter. They handle so much better than the S22's in every situation. I have friends and customers who get it in their head that they must have the Power 5, they wear out usually in under 4000 miles, often times much faster.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Good to know! Although not sure I could legally do that here.

[@GordysGoodworks]

Dare I ask why? I think 190's are approved by ktm to run, and I know for sure the 2019 has the same 6" wide rim and a 190 tire.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

In this country you're only permitted to put the size of trye on, that is stated in the bike docs.

[@scubasteve2761]

Hi, just ordered the new hero 9 with the new max lense, just wondering which mount you use, is it the ram mount with the claw grip ? So far I’ve fixed my old GoPro on my bike with a suction cup and the GoPro clamp and it fell off both times but really like the look of your mount and it looks very secure . Loving the vids and your Ktm’s looking ace 👌

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yes its a RAM mount! Its secured in the original mirror mounts, with a ball joint👍😜

[@simonrobinson7536]

Defo enhanced the video content, looks good with the flat horizon, will you be getting one for the lid ?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

No as yet no, the hero 9 isn't the most ideal helmet cam.

[@bikehubjapan]

Hey mate...looks good to me. Just wondering about your logo...did you design that yourself? I'm having zehr trouble coming up with a decent logo design for my channel. I really hate my current logo and am looking for some inspiration...

[@gijsberthoek1797]

Looking great 👌 Would you buy a second one for on your helmet? Or is it to big to put it on your chin?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yes it would be too big for me, and tbh you probably wouldn't benefit much from the horizon lock, as your head takes care of that to an extent.

[@gijsberthoek1797]

That's what she said 😂 thanks a lot for your reaction. I think I will go for the gopro 8

[@jesseonamotorcycle]

Good video I’m thinking about picking up a 9 but still not sure yet

S22 sucks in the winter, good to know. Try the RS11 s. Its what comes with the R-1, n they a great price like the S22 n seem good in chilly weather. But im just in the break-in period so maybe thats y. Also i got the HERO 10 to with the max lens mod, sick AF round 🇱🇷🐉here🐉🇱🇷. Its worth a look

[@Aiken47]

That looks very good, how does it look when mounted on a helmet?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I haven't tried it! Unfortunately on the current software the mic adaptor won't work, that should be sorted on the next update.

[@M4BoarBiker]

@@thelikeablerider8800 I use the media mod and the 3.5 Jack plug. No need for the gopro adapter brick then.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yeah definitely has its Pro's! But for me it would make the bigger camera even bigger, which isn't ideal for helmet mounted, and because I ride all year round, and make content in all kinds of weather, it would make waterproofing much harder, easier done with the hero 7 which is still a great camera.

[@LambChopRides]

@@thelikeablerider8800 so the media mod is it waterproof with the Hero 8?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Don't think so m8

[@Banditmanuk]

I've been a Gopro guy for years and have the 4, 5 and 7 black but I'm a bit sick of the issues you point out of getting the accessories and of how quickly their expensive latest greatest camera gets replaced with a newer latest greatest. The media mod from the 8 doesn't even fit the 9 My money is going to the new Insta one X2, currently on it's way.

It is this lens mod that will probs have me sell my GoPro Max and get the 9, as the image quality is so much better from the 9 than the Max in Hero mode.

@@thelikeablerider8800 I've just ordered the 9 and some extra bits and bobs, can't get the Max lens as it is OOS as per expected, but will order on once it comes back in stock. I only used my Max in Hero mode for the horizon levelling, so being able to do so with the 9 will be awesome.

[@Fishter1]

Interesting about the S22’s as on my GSXR1000R I really rate them and find they warm relatively quickly

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Generally they were great, it was just in the really cold winter months I struggled to keep the heat in. Understandable I suppose, as it is a sports tire and not Sports/Touring.

[@Fishter1]

@@thelikeablerider8800 yeah I can understand that. I’m going to look at the Metzler M9RR’s next I think... I’m also going to get the Max Lens mod for my hero 9 black, I think horizon levelling will look good on the Trackday footage 👍

@@tommymonaghan8547 if it's a real sunny day you can put the ISO max also to 100. The lower the light the higher you'll need to up the ISO. If you don't use the max lens mod, then ND filters makes things look even better.

[@robh952]

Regarding your tyres, are they OE or replacements? i ask as i've seen somewhere that factory fitted tyres arent the same spec as replacement tyres. Also, i have S22's on my 600 trackbike and theyve been brilliant. I found them to need attention to pressure tho as they can get too hot when the tarmac warms up. Going by Bridgestones recomendation i start at 30 PSI cold for a cold track morning and drop to 26 (rear) when its a hotter day.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yes the S22 are OE on the Super Duke, but have you ridden you track bike on the track in winter? We're all different, but struggle to keep them turned on in the cold.

Could you share your settings, color, frame rate ect.? Looks great!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Think this was at 1080p 24fps, I always play around with the shutter speed for different effects. A lot of the time the shutter speed I set at twice the frame rate, which creates nice motion blur, but you then need to use nd filters. The standard gopro colour is pretty good, but if you use Flat colour you can adjust it more in post.

[@cyclechris6591]

@@thelikeablerider8800 That is so sharp, especially on KZbin. Do you render in 4k? Whats the secret? Don’t make me drive my F6b wing from Oklahoma to the UK to get the settings.

@@thelikeablerider8800 So the cam on your helmet has a nd filter ?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Most of the time in have the camera sharpness settings to high, seems a lot don't. Again you can reduce the sharpness and add it after in post. My go to settings are: 1080p at 24fps Shutter speed at auto Iso min 100 max never really over 600, on very sunny days then I set the max also to 100, and add an nd filter. Gopro colour That's pretty much the basic settings, but things may change, as you do have to adjust these settings. On cloudy days I'd go less on an nd filter, and up the iso max to 600.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I film in 1080p and render in 1080. For the riding and filming that I do, filming in 4k would be a disaster! The files would be massive, the PC probably couldn't handle it all. If you nail your settings then 4k isn't really necessary. Still has its uses, don't get me wrong, but it's over kill for the filming that I do.
