I do EXACTLY the same settings with the exception of 2 settings: My upper ISO is set only to 400 on super sunny days (I've been pretty happy with that), and on cloudy days, my ISO is 3200, but I use a white balance of Native. Other than that, you nailed it regarding what settings seem best. Staying AWAY from Sharpening makes a WORLD of difference! Great Video!

[@ChadwickRider]

Agree ... for bright sunny beach I set max iso even lower at 200 (w/ 5500 WB).

[@yutehube4468]

You are exactly right. Old 120 film (6cm x 6cm negatives) of the past never looked over-sharpened, because it was simply impossible. Now with digital, it's good that we can back off on the over-sharpening these cameras do.

[@TrailFeatures]

13:00 Ah this is something lot of people get confused on with RAW audio. Turning this on does nothing to the audio on the video file, it creates a separate audio file next to the video file. Depending on what you set RAW to, it’ll either do zero processing, or give you a slightly less (over) processed result. You’ll have to sync the audio track in post, which is why I normally don’t recommend it for first timers. Another great video otherwise!

[@okletsgo9135]

I'm still confused. If I plan on recording a bike ride, and I don't want the wind to ruin the experience of the video, why would I turn Wind Reduction from auto to off? It seems counterintuitive, but I'm a beginner, so could you maybe explain this to me? Thank you. I also bought a wind muff that covers the entire camera.

[@DaveLisowski]

@@okletsgo9135 I'm just now seeing your comment, and you may have figured it out by now, but the electronic wind reduction doesn't sound great. It cuts the audio in weird ways and can make it sound very "thin" or even robotic. Basically, the methodology in this video is to remove the need for electronic wind reduction by using physical wind reduction (via the mini dead cats he puts on). A lot of the time, the tiny bit of wind noise you'll get with the dead cat on will still sound WAY better than the electronic wind reduction doing its thing.

[@TheOnlyJohnAbraham]

I may be mistaken but I'm pretty sure the raw audio track setting only affects the separate WAV file that's generated while the wind setting only affects the audio baked into the video file. I keep the wind reduction on and set my raw audio to low and choose which track to use based on the situation.

[@seanl7921]

I cannot believe that I have tried mountain biking so many times on Killington, VT where I live nearby, and I did not think to flip the camera upside down at the 45 degree angle to save myself the face palms of the horrendous video footage that soon followed.

[@erikstijnen]

I appreciate this video very much although one thing: the white balance setting on 5500k is seriously not ok for me! Colors are simply too warm and white is not white. White balance on auto, together with Flat colours (and no sharpening) gives me the most realistic result. This gives you the best output for processing afterwards.

They do have a wind foam case for it, that way your gopro still looks nice at the end of the day, it does great with wind, and you can just take it off and put other cases on it also. (I have a gopro hero 8) 15:00 The case also costs like $8 and protects it too.

[@softbreeze941]

Foam acts really poorly against fur which is basically transforming the force of the air movement into moving physical hair furs. Foam just has tunnels for the wind to spread away from mic but most of the wind can still get trough in windy conditions. It might work well with just the wind of riding the bike but when there already is heavy wind on top of the mountain the fur is the deal!

Go pro any settings footage dsnt matter U should teach us how to RENDER it.. cause no matter how good the footage if upload it to youtube it will get pixilated

[@bartbruin]

That has to do which codec you get from youtube: avc1 or VP09. Basically, it means that when you have VP09 you get a better image on youtube. To get this you've got two options. Or you need to get more subscribers and views or upload in 1440p or above. I had the same problem with my videos as well and since I've uploaded in 1440p I automatically get VP09. To check if you have it go to one of your videos, right-click on statistics for nerd and you will see it.

[@idarkmagiciani8511]

he has an editing video up already

[@OurMTBJourney]

I found that when exporting my footage from Adobe Premier editing the KZbin 4k export settings from 1 pass to 2 pass render gave much better results. 1 pass works fine if the footage is stationary, however when you are flying over dirt and past trees the 2 pass method does better and your footage doesn’t end up looking like mud. Also KZbin compresses footage more in 1080p than in 4k, so watching the same footage in 1080 will be more pixilated than watching the same footage at 4k simply due to how much compression KZbin applies.

[@lizjoyride]

Thanks for a clear explanation and for showing each step straight through. I'm changing my GoPro settings now for a test run later this afternoon. Super cool video and presentation!

You can check out the results on my channel. The Royal Enfield Interceptor video was done using this method. Compare that to the Harley Davidson Iron video where I used the GoPro's audio. Massive difference. Hope it helps 😊

[@danp2509]

that's why he has the "dead cat"

[@DanielWiersma]

Better to remove wind noise mechanically using a deadcat or deadkitten instead of using wind noise reduction software. You can always remove some noise in post production if you need to, but then you have at least raw data and more freedom to get it how you want it to be.

[@SuggyRacing]

The best way to get bike audio noise is to use something like a zoom audio recorder. Mount it under the seat. The benefit of those is you can control the input gain so It doesn't distort. Can even run a separate mic closer to the back end of the bike. Just wish I could do it on my track bike. But no where to mount it 🙄

What do you use ? Thanks

[@slinkytrips]

@@user-md3je2qq7x From Hero 7 onwards they use a single clock rate sensor (30Hz) and the camera interpolates other frame rates (24/25 etc) this is why GoPros own launch videos are always in 30fps. It also helps that most KZbin viewers are using 60hz screens (easy division for the graphics processor).

[@brother-ql]

@Northern Amauta 24fps would be cinematic with a 1/24 or 1/48 shutter speed but that doesn't work well with the HyperSmooth stabilisation that you generally want to be on when capturing a bike video. In addition, the lens used in an action camera won't produce "cinematic" footage as everything is in focus and there is no depth of field. The bad pixely image is due to KZbin's compression, not the original footage of the camera. ​@@slinkytrips Any hint where I can find more about your statement? The one that 30Hz is the native clock and everything else is interpolated? Sounds very strange to me.

[@jamaliciousben]

Horizon leveling (at least in my experience) is limited not because it doesn't do a good job but because it forces you to shoot in linear mode and if you're wanting to capture POV action with a gopro wide or superview is going to produce a much better shot. I'm hoping the Max Lense Mod will allow us to turn on horizon leveling but provide a wider field of view. Fingers crossed! If it doesn't work as well as hoped I'll be getting the stabilizer too.

On the audio settings, if you're setting it to "Low" then it will do the wind cutout on the video's audio track but the WAV file will have no editing, so you'll end up with all three microphones tracks.

@theloamranger First of all, I totally respect your process and I admire your technique. Your production quality is the best I have found for your style of content. That being said, I must respectfully disagree with the auto wind noise setting on the Hero 7, 8 and 9. I have been using them without muffs of any kind for a few years now and I feel I have had GREAT results (not perfect) using the auto setting. When the wind does encroach on my footage, I either deal with it (I use music in my vids, and that helps a lot) or I don't use that part of the clip (it's rare that my videos would be ruined by losing a 3-second clip of wind noise). But to each their own... I did purchase some of those dead cat patches that I'll be experimenting with. I will to tests with and without them and also with and without the auto setting enabled. We'll see where that road leads... I have also been using them without any stabilizer/gimbal and my footage isn't too bad (I think it's a fair compromise to have a *tiny* bit of shake if that means I don't need to have all that hardware strapped to my helmet. (Oh, yeah - I use a helmet mount, not a chest mount. I have found it. works FAR better in terms of stabilization and smoothness). Regardless of my personal preference, I want to make sure you know that your stuff is GREAT - I am loving every minute of it. I have decades of experience in broadcast graphics and editing, and I truly admire your quality. Keep up the GREAT work! (I just joined your Patreon)

Great Video! Iv been hesitant to pull the trigger on the Quark gimble for my Hero8 when i'm riding dirt bikes but I think you have sold me here!

Thank you!! I’m just starting out with a GoPro and I’m glad I will have things dialed from the get go.

Well done Ryan, off my bike from injury but I did get the 9 and started to play with it. Basically the same as the 7 with few changes. I did get some deadcats and will be turning off the wind setting. Looking forward to checking it out. I am really missing my Ripmo and now the weather in BC is changing. All this week will be hero dirt and I can't ride!!

Great video; exactly why I subbed. I will note that if you encode your videos using VidCoder/Handbrake, it seems to remove the GoPro grading and change the output video to the 'flat' profile. This can serve as a workaround for those of us that mistakenly bought a Silver on the cheap.

would be awesome if you could show a little of what you do in post and what software you use! your videos are some of the best quality on youtube

So stoked to try this!! Picking one up next week.

Got a Hero9 today to slap on my helmet for motocross riding and street bike on the track. Hope these settings are applicable! Oh, also to use on a roller coaster tomorrow night. Thanks for the vid!
