Tools Mentioned in this Video:
Inkee Falcon Gimbal: amzn.to/3cGgclU
Moza Mini-P Gimbal: amzn.to/3HMnRNM

Using gimble is absolutely a great step up. I'm using my cellphone gimble but have made a house-made case for GoPro cam, using a cheap cellphone case from the dollar shop to hold it well (And of course counterweight at other empty ends of the case, using a few quarter coins!

You’re welcome! 1x zoom is the GoPro default. This means there isn’t any zoom being applied. I don’t recommend doing zoom while recording on the GoPro because it will be digital zoom which will degrade the quality of the footage. For any zooming needs I recommend doing so later on when editing. This will give a much better quality finished product.

I was searching for how to set for night recording and I clicked on your tutorial! I stopped using my GoPro 8 as it was not showing the date and time correctly and it would turn off mid recording even if the battery was full charged. So I put it away and started recording on my iPhone 14 Pro and 13. That worked for awhile but it wasn't a perfectly smooth recording on the iPhone. I am back recording on my GoPro8 while I am cycling, will the settings you have shown here work for me as I am cycling in both day and night. I have some recorded and the clip is really dark at night, I don't remember it being so dark when I use to record on the GoPro a lot when I first bought a couple of years ago. Do I have to reset this for day and for night every time I start to record?

In general you are likely to still get best results with Hypersmooth turned off and the GoPro mounted on a sturdy mount. I recommend testing it with Hypersmooth on and Hypersmooth off and see which gives you the best results. If it is stable enough with Hypersmooth off this should still be the best result.

@GreatDayForAHike Жыл бұрын

That could be a tricky situation to film in low light. You could still keep Hypersmooth off and use ReelSteady to stabilize the footage later on but ReelSteady has a cost of $99 (an optional add-on to the GoPro Player software). If you turn Hypersmooth on you would need to make sure the shutter speed does not get too low otherwise the electronic image stabilization will not work properly and it will cause jitters to your footage (Hypersmooth needs clear, sharp frames to work properly). If Hypersmooth is turned on I would recommend keeping it on the lowest setting and maybe boosting your ISO Max to 1600. One of those situations where it would be useful if you could test twice with each setting and then find which works best for you. Not sure if that is possible but if it is I recommend that. Have fun!

Yes, the GoPro can do some low light and night time shooting but it has to be used with care in these settings due to their not being much flexibility due to the sensor size. Low light filming is not really a scenario where any action camera is going to be the best option. For best results a more costly option such as an APS-C or full frame mirrorless camera will be useful.

When I start filming everything is fine but after 45 seconds the monitor/screen gets darker and after a number of seconds the screening goes black. I have to touch the monitor/screen again for the image to appear again. My question then is if it should be like that or if there is a way to remove this function.

If you set shutter to twice the frame rate (1/50) more light is able to get into the camera and the footage will also have the proper motion blur (180 degree rule). Otherwise those settings look pretty good. High sharpness could create some issues depending upon the setting.

Why shoot at 5.3k/highest resolution-24fps? Why not 1080p-24fps? You didn't explain the reason why you recommend shooting at the highest resolution. You only explained the reason of choosing 24fps.

@GreatDayForAHike 2 жыл бұрын

Great question. I shoot at the highest resolution possible because it will give me the highest resolution this camera is capable of which gives me a lot more flexibility when editing and the footage has more detail and looks better. If I want to downscale the 5.3K or 4K to 1080p on a 1080p timeline while editing, then the footage will look extra good as long as I set the footage to 1080p so that it does not lose the resolution. When setting 5.3K or 4K footage to 1080p a lot more pixels are crammed more closely together and it looks extra good vs simply filming in 1080p.

@GreatDayForAHike 2 жыл бұрын

Night time and low light filming is not a primary use case of the GoPro and most who own a GoPro will likely use it 90% of the time or more in good lighting and during the daytime. This video is to help those who own a GoPro and want to film in low light learn how to get the best results. I do disagree that if you use a gimbal you can use any settings you want. Using a gimbal does not alone guarantee good results. The settings very much still matter. For instance if someone selected an ISO Max of 100, sharpness of High, or leave Hypersmooth on they will not get good results in low light. The settings do matter. I’m glad you like the Pocket 2 for night time filming and I hope you continue to enjoy that. The Pocket 2 has several physical design and feature limitations that the GoPro Hero 10 does not have. So it really just depends on what you want to do with the camera and what works best for your specific use case. Everyone has different goals and use cases for their specific situation.

Yes, the GoPro is not designed to be great with low lighting and that isn’t a use case GoPro markets it for. For truly good low light footage a full-frame mirrorless camera is recommended.
