Hi Anna and Jake. I hope all is doing fine for You. Back in the loop ..after some time 🙃. Did follow you …and glad all went well during the Morocco trip. Sounds like you are back to Australia for Summer Season.😉 Thx for sharing your expertise. Didn’t purchase the Gopro 12 yet…but that video was pretty interesting and did allow me to see some new things. Glad most of accessories are compatible with previous Gopro’s..from what I did understand. As usual you did very well bringing some beside comments when relating the features.👍 Concerning the Bluetti AC70 to get that kind of stuff is clearly required for outdoors fun. 🤙

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

Thanks for always sharing the stoke Phillippe and back in in Australia ready to share more fun adventures on this channel!

[@TravelFox01]

Thanks for the great video. What about Bitrate and 8-Bit/10-Bit? Did I missed it in the video? Is it worth in case of not doing any post? It is always a tradeoff with the settings 5k vs. HDR vs. 8:7 vs large FOV - you can’t have everything. So you’re experience is that HDR is worth the „loss“ of 5,3k?

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

It really depends on your use case and how advanced you are with your editing, if you're 100% color grading every shot, of course, use LOG + 10 BIT but most beginners or intermediates are still focusing on developing their editing and learning how to use the camera so I've tried to keep things simple and focus on enjoying the filming process before getting wiped out by the editing process :)

[@TravelFox01]

Thanks for your reply. I definitely not doing any post in addition to the functionalities of the Quick app 😊. So High Bitrate / 10 Bitrate will slightly improve the quality at least a little bit or not at all? My use case is MTB POV and Hiking. Due to MTB POV I will use SV/HV a lot however I am thinking of using just 8:7 in wide and than flexible change to SV/HV 16:9 or even 9:16 in post😢 in the quick app … would it be a difference or are the digital lenses in the app exactly the same as in the GoPro directly? Do you have any experience if the digital lenses are different 8:7 App vs. 16:9 GP?

[@MIKE_OSCAR]

I have no idea how iso max 3200 would be good in low light? I tried this setup, and the amount of grain and noise was ridiculous

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

Important to remember that gopro is an action camera designed for action sports filmmaking, oftentimes the best clips seen in gopro commercials are recorded in full sun, if you really want to shoot in the dark, use the photo modes not video or avoid action cameras and upgrade to full frame camera with some wide aperture lenses :)

[@MIKE_OSCAR]

@@JakeRichandAnnaChah i dont necessarily want to shoot in the dark but more in a vlogging way. So meaning you are having many different scenarios from you being outside and then for example you walking from outside to inside a mall, but then when doing this in the dark shadows or just overall not so good lighting the footage is full with grain. So i notice like your garage scene where there is bad lighting you dont have grain but me with the same settings i do have a lot of grain. So did you edit out the grain in post or are there some more better settings that work for vlogging where you go from outside to inside, inside a car etc. all these things even going inside a car which i consider bad lighting produces grain for me

This was super helpful - thanks Jake - Question - what settings would you use for dome? I have the same one as you. Thanks!

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

For dome I use 4K 50 or 100 in standard video mode and I also use log profile because I love colour grading underwater footage

[@BigTurtleSC]

any tips for overlaying garmin cycling stats over a gopro video? is that possible?

[@julianraphael4465]

Would you also use HDR if don't edit the video afterwards?

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

Yeah, HDR makes editing the videos easier

[@leandrovieira2174]

What an incredible video Jake! One question, don't you change the ISO on the GoPro 12?

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

I do for low light but for everyday when you’re using HDR mode it’s fixed at min 100 max 1600 which I think is a good range and I’d probably keep the same range if I was using standard or LOG

[@NITINCHAWLA]

Hey bro! Love that ur back! So hypersmooth uses a ton of light…its a part of the algorithm for all digital stabilisation. So in low light the artifacts that you see in your gopro image is due to insufficient light for hypersmooth to work and u also end up seeing jitters in the image. That being said turning hypersmooth off allows the image to be cleaner as the jitters and artifacts disappear! Also cant wait for ur next travel adventure!

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

Thanks for clarifying legend!! Can’t wait to get back into regular uploads

[@aaaservicecompany9389]

Anyone have issues with overheating? I’m new to the GP family, used it twice and can’t get it to record for more then 20 minutes at a time before it over heats. I’m in Florida, yes it’s hot.

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

it depends on a range of factors, the camera cools from the bottom so if it's just lying on your desk, you'll need to mount it and have the mounting pins down so the camera can best dissipate the heat. Also, important to note that gopro designed the camera for an average user, which only records on average of 3-5 minutes per clip, so 20 minutes is a definite anomaly, which they didn't design the camera for.

Thx for settings! 🫶🤘😎

@JakeRichandAnnaChah for my trip to Iceland I bought the Gopro Hero 12 and I'm exploring the settings. Can I ask for your advice on 3 scenarios in which I intend to use my gopro in Iceland? 1/ mounted in the rental car, hooked up on the car charger. Goal is to document the amazing surroundings with as little fisheye effect as possible. 2/ Outdoor filming in mostly overcast/sunny weather (weather can change suddenly in Iceland). 3)/ selfie stick filming/ documenting surroundings as I walk. I prefer not to have the typical bobbing effect you see when you film while walking. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you. By the way: I bought a bunch of 256GB and 128 GB Sandisk SD cards. The journey around the northern part of the island lasts 13 days.

[@ssanja_y]

Awesome video as always 😅😅😅

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

thanks for sharing the stoke legend

[@gabrielmarinho9843]

In what situations should I use the 8:7 aspect ratio? Using this aspect ratio greatly limits lens and frame options. And if you use HDR it is even more limited.

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

In situations where you want to publish your video in vertical and horizontal. Moments where you know that the taller frame 8:7 will give you the pixels you need , in a fleeting moment. Think underwater wildlife encounter, or something where you may not get many seconds of interaction, but where those seconds could be later used for more aspect ratios 🤷🏽‍♂️💫 swimming with a dolphin perhaps?

[@ozgreenroom]

Hey dude. I notice you set you FPS to 50 when creating the selfie / vlog style preset. What about 25 being you’re not really slowing down the footage etc ? Cheers

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

Of course go with 25 if you’re not using the frames! I just never know when I may want to use them especially in everyday situations there me a moment when I need them but setting 25 intentionally is also a great call 🤘🏽

[@ForestWanderer_YT]

25 fps what are you a caveman?

[@ozgreenroom]

@@ForestWanderer_YT Yeh, pretty much

[@julianraphael4465]

Whats about the bit rate?

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

High

[@MIKE_OSCAR]

even jumping from outside (this part is fine lighting wise) to inside a car for example produces grain for me. So just this little change from going inside a car front outside makes it bad

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

Of course, the camera isn’t designed for low light inside a car at night.

[@MIKE_OSCAR]

@@JakeRichandAnnaChah im not saying at nighy, its even dark in daylight. My question is more so in daylight the shadows look horrible with grain

[@ReApEr789456]

What would be your setup for slow motion?

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

Bumping the frame rate up to 100fps and then the field of view depends on the activity or action being captured, and always 4K

[@ReApEr789456]

@@JakeRichandAnnaChah thank you! I like your content a lot!

[@HandsONreviews4u]

I still have the hero 5 and I still dont know everything. Sometimes when there are SO MANY FEATURES on a camera it can become OVERWHELMING to a NEW customer, even intimidating. I know I am not the only one who wonders why they need all those features? Which is why i will stay with my Hero 5 and Hero 360 camera

[@kathyb-007]

Omg thank you sooo much! I just wanted to know basic settings for like capturing road trips. I don't need an entire lesson on using a camera. No time. You have so many extras including that heavy duty BLUETTI AC70 but yet you don't have one of 'those doors', the USB Pass-Through Door. I thought that was interesting and funny since that was one of the first things I bought to use with the portable charger power bank, lol. I'll never be a pro like you but that's ok. Thanks for the great vid!

I’m still using the GoPro 7 it the only camera that I got to shoot my videos 😂

[@Crashoverride1234]

Hey mate, great video. Do you use the GoPro in portrait mode for Instagram or do you shoot full frame and crop it? Only problem with full frame mode is you can only use wide view and it’s fish eyed a bit.

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

For instagram we do both, however we always try and shoot with the camera held vertically in 9x16 to make the most of the pixels. This always looks best when we come to edit our reels

[@Crashoverride1234]

@@JakeRichandAnnaChah Thanks for the reply legend. I’ll do the same. I’ll hand hold sideways and if I need to use my gimbal ill shoot full frame 🔥
