Like many of the people leaving comments here, I'm hugely greatful for your time in show casing a fundamental flaw in what should be a premium camera. I thought it was a simple fault in my camera until I come accross your video. Like you I've been using GoPro for years and loved the 7 black, simple but silky smooth footage. My 10 black still isn't perfect at Cinematic 4K, 120...so I've tended to use 2.7 | 120 and it's working well. Thank you 🙏 😊

Thanks for taking the time to test all of these settings. This problem has ruined otherwise lovely clips for us. While it isn't perfect, this is way better than before. Much appreciated!

THANK YOU. We vlog in narrow when we're talking to the camera, but I could never figure out WHY this was happening when I would pan across things. OMG it was so annoying. Definitely taking the time to do this moving forward.

Thanks for posting this video. I recently purchased a Hero 10 and noticed the judder when panning as well. I tried your settings and it was much, much, smoother. I then experimented with your settings, but using 2.7K and 120fps instead, and it was as smooth as glass.

that was a thorough test... great

Thanks for this great video! We experienced stuttering pans quite often with our Hero 10, and this confirms my suspicion that the Hyperboost is the primary culprit.

Thanks for this, and for having the clarity of mind to try all these steps. I was getting so goddamn frustrated in the field that I’d just put the GoPro away and use my mirrorless or phone. Appreciate it a lot.

Wow, thank you so much for this!! I have struggled for the last few months with the stuttering videos from my hero 10 black. Have gone through hours of research online to find your post. I appreciate your thorough test and finding a solution. Since I am using it for real estate, I use your settings but go between using linear and wide lens depending on the shot each will work for me. But the surprising thing is that it works best in only one direction: panning from right to left, but slowly as you suggested.

Thank you for highlighting this problem! 11 black works same way, thats why gopro is useless for cinematic. SV mode gives awful optical distorsions. Solvetion is DJI osmo pocket2, even with poor sensor but properly cinematic shooting. Now I have both and I'm very dissapointed with gopro and this issue

Thanks for the analysis, the stabilization really annoys me, good luck 😉

Cant wait to try your solution. I just got a gopro and was panning in linear today and noticed the jutter during playback and I have an 11 so the problem has not been corrected. The camera also seemed to have a problem staying in focus as I was panning so I will try the 7 second rule. Hopefully you will make some more gopro videos. I would bring this to the attn of gopro if you haven't. thank you.

Thanks for testing all those settings! Switching to shutter 1/120 also helps to significantly reduce choppy playback.

Thanks for the video. That helps a lot. I think the biggest game changer here is not using linear...

After having the same issue with the Hero 9 I found Super view good as well. Just need to do some tests. This panning issue has also made editing a lot harder. Thanks for the vid mate.

Thank You So much😊

You saved my life!!! I had the same problem. Too bad this problem is mainly in linear mode. I hope Gopro will fix this in the future. Thanks a lot for this video 💫😊

Thanks a lot for this video, it really helped me out, as I had been searching for a solution for over a year now! Best settings for me seem to be lens on Wide, then Hypersmooth on standard. Hypersmooth on High seems to make it a bit worse. Also, possibly lens on super wide would be even better, but it makes the fov too wide for my purpose.

Very helpful, thank you!

Also if you wantto use a 3rd party stabilization software, then you definitely want hypersmooth turned off. In fpv drone flying, the smoother you are at controlling the model and things like throttle control, actually having hypersmooth turned off is beneficial to being able to see certain flight characteristics. In some cases the hypersmooth creates problems.

Thanks for sharing! we have had this issue with the new gopro hereo black 11

This problem has truly frustrated me. But I have to say, I didn't see a solution to this problem in your video, with all due respect.

Thank you sir

Just an fyi "Cinematic" isnt really necessary to mention. That's just the name of the presets u make yourself

Using 60FPS solves the problem in my case, 30FPS to a somewhat lesser degree. Most of us are watching on 60Hz screens. Hence 24, 25 and 50FPS look awful. Watching your video I see under "stats for nerds" that it plays back at 50FPS (fifty) for some reason. This does not fit to a 60Hz screen.

Thanks for this. I will give the settings a try on my GoPro Hero 9 Black. It's driving me mad as I film hotels and it seems to be getting worse! I used to use Linear all the time so stopped that and have tried switching off the Horizon Leveling to see if that made a difference. One thing I did think of is I always use the Max Lens Mod so might try without that. This vid I made on a fairground ride which highlights the juddering kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o6iokpCkuMjdp4E.html
