Let me know what you guys think about the 'Try Hard Take Chances' t-shirt! I'm kind of in love with it! Also, anyone notice that the Hero 8 actually looked a little better than the Hero 9 at night? Interesting...

Alright guys 1/48th of a second when shooting video Set white balance manually to 3000-4000K to have a bit more of blue Set ISO min 100 and max 1600 because anything above is unusable Don't use a lot of movement because GoPro at night sucks Saved you nine minutes, you're welcome

2:04 video starts here

I appreciate the info, but as a new gopro owner I would of appreciated the step by step where to go on the gopro to make the changes you were talking about.

There's one other thing you can change. I prefer to keep the iso at 800. You can break the 180 rule and match your shutter speed. Shoot in 30 fps, and set shutter at 30. This is a better looking image. I actually think motion blur looks more natural when you match be the fps, not double it. There are videos on KZfaq comparing this. Check it out

I know in general filming at night just isn't the greatest, but I do a lot of night snowboarding (on and off of lit runs) so would you suggest any different settings given that fast movement will always be in play? Thanks for all of the detail in your video!

I want that shirt...put me down on the list....im ready lol. Great videos like always

I'm a simple guy, I see David, I click. Plus that intro music just gets me jazzed up! Side note: tomorrow is my last day at this job as my department got closed down, so hopefully I get a good payout to get a computer to start editing and be the land-locked, Canadian prairies, version of our man David 😂😂👏👏

I am hunter and use the cam in dark in the morning. Kindly if you help me setting thnks

I love your help in letting me explore this new media capabilities. I would like a recommendation for editing the movies I make with my 9. I may purchase an 11 if it’s needed. I’m 72 years old and need software easy to use to make videos .

Extremely useful, even when using older GoPros. I estilo use my Hero7

thank you, i only ever do low light! also... my personal saying is “everything is simple, but nothing is as straightforward as it seems”... guess which of us is the extrovert!

New GoPro user here. Your videos are helpful and awesome!

Nice video. Nice design T-shirt. Greetings from GoPro-beginner from the Netherlands.👍🏻

Hi David. Would you change any of these settings on a GoPro 12? What would you change?

I'll take a shirt! Shooting the POV of a dog at night with Christmas lights, let's see how this will look! Thanks again for this video! Taking chances!

After checking out lots of videos, your video helped me 😊 Thank you

I know its a late comment that may never get read. After extensive testing, I wanted a preset that can traverse from bright daylight into dimly lit interiors. As stated in the video the GoPro will apply 360degree shutter causing too much motion blur and 1/48 is a good shutter, however if filming out into the daylight that shutter is way too slow, my work around/compromise for this is to leave shutter on auto and film at 60fps. this way I can shoot in daylight and when I go indoors the shutter is allowed to drop to 1/60. Yes I loose a little light compared to 1/48. If only GoPro had a setting for minimum shutter speed instead of locking the shutter when in manual mode.

Thank you for all the instructions. I just got my gopro 9 recently. Yes, I heard enough about gopro can't shot good night scene but I know because they don't understand day and night always have different settings way.

Great info. I’m planning on doing some night fishing next season and doing some videos with my 8 and 9

Thank you Mark Romer I love you

Finally the video I have been waiting for!! Its actually not that bad... its nice

Now this video was great. Understood everything. Now waiting till it gets dark to test it with the Hero9

Great tips thanks alot. Yes cool logo for a t-shirt.

Love the video man I shoot test drive videos at night with my go pro hero 8 but 4k60fps and sometimes it looks way too dark. This video really helped me!

Just so nobody thinks they're getting short changed with the GoPros at night, just recognize that no camera shooting is low-light is ideal. All cameras need light. Just like our eyes do. When you think about it, our night-time vision is not that great either. Now do you see why cats, owls and wolves have such big eyes? "All the better to see you with...my dear."

Many thanks, very grateful for your videos.

Really helpful video, thank you! We shot the inside of a castle for next week and we had to move very slowly to minimise motion blur. Going to be trying this trick now!

Ah this specifies not to do a lotta fast paced stuff but I wanna use my gopro for riding around at night with my bike. what do I do now?

Really appreciate your settings for the Gopro 9 and I intend to try these out shortly, cheers

I did a video with the time warp mode and then did an intro in standard and the lighting in time warp was amazing and bright, the standard mode was just dark.

Thank you for the video! I would definitely buy that shirt!

So I'm a doordash driver. Trying to find a budget gopro camera to strap on my head when delivering. Mainly when I pick up the order and drop off that's it. Doesn't need to be the best of quality as long as you can see a house number and is good enough to maybe make a video. Can you change these kind of settings on budget cameras? Or is this only for gopros?

So I can use go pro at. Igor? Or just get night vision ? What do u reccomend for night vision ? I subscribed n liked thanks

Hi sir, what’s the best mobile gimbal available in market?

Many Thanks for the tips! I've had mixed feelings about using a GoPro at night - Most videos I've seen on YT haven't looked that great, but every now and then someone posts a really nice-looking one that makes me wonder if it might be okay to try it. I'll hopefully be getting a GoPro in October and will try some night sessions using your settings :)

Thank you! Really good explenation!!!

Hi if we go car drive at night with bright lights ( City)what is your recommendations ?

i definitely would be interested in a try hard take chances shirt. thatd be dope. thanks for the quick tip tuesday. ill be trying it tonight!

WOW very nice so I have Hero 8 and on Sunday going to drive and see Christmas Lights, going to try this. Also would it make sense if I make ISO MIN 1600 and MAX 1600? Or just leave it at ISO MIN 100 and MAX 1600?

My GoPro 9 has a green tint to it vs my 7... have any suggestion how to fix that? Could it be my white balance?

I don't have POV and Travel as presets in my GoPro Hero 9. Is there a way I can add additional presets

I am definitely down for one of those shirts!

Great video! Thanks for going into so much detail. What would be the best settings for filming with the GoPro inside a house at night (Lots of lights on/Christmas tree lights as well)?

Super helpful. I end up shooting a lot at twilight and just after dark which coincidentally happens to be when you can catch some of the biggest fish. So this will be helpful for sure. Very much appreciated.

First time I watched your video and it was great.

Can show screen shots of it because I don’t know how to do it or anything like that

what if you want to record a runningroute on a forrestroute on night that only have regular lamps at intervalls is this something that can be good for that to?

Do you think i could get license plates at night even when the headlights are on?

Thanks for this video! Super helpful. I'm still using the Hero7 and something interesting happens at night-time shooting. Once I hit record, the video looks fine but before I do that, the preview shows a very blurry and out of focus video. So it's super hard to get a good preview of what I'm shooting with my settings. Do you know why it might be doing this?

Minor pedantic point. The aperture on the HERO9 Black is fixed at F/2.5, not F/2.8 (despite what the photo metadata reports).

How to control jerk in still footage inside studio video with lights?

Very informative. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍

Any idea how to film fireworks with the hero 9? Thanks

OK going to try these settings. Really wanting to do a night skate edit in our city for our channel. Going to do some test shots tonight! Thanks!

First, I do like the shirt. Second, I do plan on getting the Go Pro 9 as my first Go Pro. This will be primarily used for trips and vacations but for the low light settings I also have an iPhone 11 Pro Max. In your opinion should I simply stick to using my phone for those night time shots?

I keep hearing about freezing on the gopro line for awhile now. How much does this happen and is it frequent enough to discourage buying this? Is there a setting that causes this to happen more?

Another great video, thanks for the tips and settings for night shots. Also shirt is awesome to, I’ll take one!!

This apply to the Hero 11 Black too?

This was really helpful thanks dude 🤘

Aloha from Hawaii~ nice night walk video! i want to ask what type of camera you are using and the settings for night/low lighting scenes. Mahalo~!

I will try your setting. I just bought the HERO9 and used it in my last race. My footages before dawn are noisy and blurry. Thanks for sharing your secret, bro.

Good thing is that KZfaq have that +10 seconds video forward so I can go straight to the settings instead of wasting 9 minutes just to see the night mode settings. Good job KZfaq

I just ordered the pre-sale Ulanzi cage, underwater housing & battery door for the hero 9

Liked the shirt

I noticed that you used GoPro Color instead of flat. Why is that?

Great video.

What about daytime indoor settings

any tips for night, time lapse ,with the GoPro Hero 9? Do you already have a video on this.

Your videos are always helpful!

Should I just use my phone at night time? orr for example the iPhone 12 or xr

Thank you with greetings from Munich, germany.

recently got the go pro. going out on a bike at night. having blur in my videos. gotta test ur settings now. i did 4k 24fps i think. shutter left in auto, so that introduced blur. gotta change it and try again. thanks.

Okay so I just watched your video and I'm basically hopping the presets to my 9 & 10.. I do have one question regarding hypersons now I know you said you leave it on but my question is on the 10 what level of hyper smooth do you set yours to if you have to leave it on? Boost, standard, high???

Thanks man! Very useful!

Very helpful. Thanks.

def helpful bro!

Can we rename the presets? I'd like to make one and name it 'Night-time'...

Can we have the settings for Night Photo ??? @David

any suggestion for nighttime recording while riding on a motorcycle? Nighttime but headlights involved but still need detail in dark areas

Thank you for settings and explanation.

Count me in for the shirt! Haha great bid bud

Most useful content about low light

Hi David, great life motto on a shirt. I enjoy your videos. You give me confidence. Can you make a video on how to use GoPro 8 or 9 as a webcam? I tried to watch other presenters... sigh... Most left out the basic info. First I figured out that I had purchased GoPro without an sd micro disk. What can I say??? This is my first ever webcam purchase. My bad. ;) Then I found out, after much struggle, etc, that I had to upgrade to Windows 10. Okay I was in the dark ages. So two days of upgrading. So now I'm in the 21st century. Definitely a bonus!! Then I found out that I need to have a 3.0 usb cable, cause if you don't have one of those, all you get is the GoPro logo in Zoom. So I ordered one of those last night. It took me a long time to figure out that I needed the 3.0 cable. That happened last night. I remember at some point thinking... David wouldn't have told us this stuff, VERY simply!!! I actually did a search for David Manning GoPro as a webcam, and nothing came up. Maybe others are having the same trouble?? Oh and also... Thank you for the video about the Neewer accessories pack. I wanted a GoPro clip for my monitor. I knew the pack had one... now I have all the extra crazy stuff too. I already cobble a multidirectional mount on the monitor clip. It was very satisfying. Thanks again for making it simple. It gives me confidence.

Too long winded, get to the freaken point already.

Do you have a video teaching how to take light trails shots on the GoPro using mean Nd filter?

Cool. I will try all of that out on my 7 and 8!

Nice shirt! Also, have you tested out the night photo mode on the Hero 9? Wondering if there are any improvements! Great video again!

Can you change the brightness with the front screen (to save battery)?

Hows the still photo quality? Seen next to no reviews on that. I heard they can be decent tho.

clear and consise.

Great tips, David!

I really enjoy these videos, thank you!

Great tips for shooting at night!

Any link to fixing a video you previously recorded at night and wanted to edit

would be nice if gopro made its sensors a lot bigger

Hello I'm ready to buy my first little GoPro action camera and I watched your video regarding the night settings and comparison between Hero 9 & Hero 8 series. Apart from a sports camera I'd like to use this little guy also for some nice cinematic footage, I might use a gimbal mount as well probably for lower light situations. My question is do you recommend to buy the Hero 8 or the Hero 9 model? I cannot notice any significant differences between the 2 models at low light however I need the more stability to get at an average usage. Does the Hero 9 have more blacks on the low light situations? Am I seeing quite well? Are the 2 cameras performing the same more or less in terms of stable footage at low light situations? Sorry for questions shooting but I do not have any past experience with GoPro's before, thus your opinion and recommendation is more than welcome for me!

Im here to learn more about go pro before i buy, trying to do video vlog on the streets

Cool shirt! Be a good human is also a epic saying. Keep the good vibes a'flowing. Thumbs!
