This is extremely well done. Clear, concise, and thorough. It also confirmed for me that when dealing with changing lighting conditions (e.g., hiking through woods to an open field), rather than changing the ND filter all the time, it will probably be more convenient to use a stronger filter and set my max ISO above 100. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for this! I'm really new to photography/videography. A while back, I used the suction-cup mount on my car, no ND filter, but had hypersmooth on high because I was going to be testing a really rough road. It's super-smooth footage but looking back, yes, the blur is bland. One thing I didn't know was that it would still be almost as smooth (barely noticeable) with hypersmooth OFF. So, I tried your suggestion with an ND 16 filter (sun/clouds) and hypersmooth OFF. It's amazing! Thanks again!

@rafat7684 Жыл бұрын

Hello. Thanks for your video. I have a question. If I want to make a video with very slow motion (60 or 120 fps), would there be any problem using ND filters? Would it achieve a good effect or if I use that amount of fps would it not be worth an ND filter? Do you recommend normal or polarized ND filters? I don't know if in low light conditions the fact of being polarized makes it look even darker .Thanks for your time and greetings from Spain.

I'd appreciate it if you could recommend any solution. Thank you.

@GreatDayForAHike 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your feedback. So my initial guess is that it’s possible this is from the filter. I’ve tested the circular filters before on the GoPro and then tested these square ones and with the circular I noticed more glare spots than with the square filters. So that would be my initial guess on this. You could also double check and make sure there isn’t a spec of dust or something on the inside side of the filter.

Good explanation. I like to use Linear plus Horizon Levelling when shooting videos from the windscreen. Why does this option disappear when Hypersmooth is turned off? Also what do you do when you get too much blur? I find sometimes with driving videos when using ND filters there's just too much blur when I'm travelling at speed.

@GreatDayForAHike Жыл бұрын

Both great questions. I believe Hypersmooth may need to remain on in order for Linear+ Horizon Leveling to work properly. If I have too much blur I'll either change the shutter to Auto and/or remove the ND filter and use auto shutter.

This is clear. However, I am not sure if its going to perform well if you are filming a mixture of open scene and inside forest, or a mixture of indoor and outdoor scene. The light difference is going to be much more than a stop. How to tackle such a problem? Increasing the ISO max or allowing for a range of shutter angles?

@GreatDayForAHike 5 ай бұрын

Great question. I would recommend keeping the shutter set to a static value but allowing for an ISO range of ISO Min 100 and ISO Max 1600. As long as the exposure is good in your bright frames with the ND filter you’re using and not overexposed this will give you some exposure range to work with in the less bright areas.

@GreatDayForAHike 4 ай бұрын

As long as you have your shutter speed set to 1/240 or higher on the GoPro you can keep Hypersmooth on and still use the ND filter to slow down your shutter speed to have a more appealing look to the footage. In other words you don’t just have to use ND filters for the 180 degree shutter angle and Hypersmooth Off. In this recent video I explain this a bit more in-depth. I did use an ND filter for all of this sample footage while still keeping Hypersmooth on. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLGilKWgrNDSYH0.htmlsi=trveJOZa5PdOkUie

@MstrRo1 Ай бұрын

The issue with ND filters is when Mountain biking and the camera if bouncing or where there is a lot of camera motion and gimbals are not practical. The greater the ND stops, to achieve 180 degree rule, the worse the stabilization so you must throw out the 180 degree rule and make stability the priority. A key detail that mounting the camera on a vehicle on a paved road does not encapsulate.

@GreatDayForAHike 2 ай бұрын

For that use case, I recommend testing out 60fps with a shutter speed of 1/240. This will allow you to keep Hypersmooth on while still getting a slower shutter speed from the ND filter. You’ll need to fine tune the exposure after setting the fps to 60, shutter speed to 1/240, and the ISO to 100. I recommend starting with ND8 and seeing if the footage is properly exposed or if it needs ND16. You can then fine tune the ISO to get a balanced exposure.

Great question. The ND filters do not provide water resistance or waterproofing on the GoPro like the standard GoPro lens does. From what I can tell this is the case with any brand of ND filter for the GoPro. Thank you for your support!

Any reasons to not use Linear + Horizon leveling with ND filters and a gimbal?

@GreatDayForAHike Жыл бұрын

No reason you can’t use that lens mode with ND filters and a gimbal. It should work well.

OK, we agree on the need for motion blur, we slap on an ND filter, set the frame rate to 30 and the shutter to 60. But on a sunny day we're not likely to be able to use the GoPro screen to know that the exposure of our test clip is "correct". It seems like we'd be more successful by leaving the shutter on Auto so that the video can be exposed correctly. But that kind of depends on having some experience with ND filters and just knowing what number to use for a given amount of outside brightness. Thoughts?

Good thoughts and question you pose here. A few solutions: GoPro Labs offers a QR code with a histogram. This would be useful for this scenario. If one want to strictly adhere to the 180 degree shutter rule this makes it a bit more challenging if in situations where lighting is changing. GoPro Labs also has some QR codes for shutter angle and some other exposure related settings. These could also be useful for this scenario.

@@GreatDayForAHike I've not heard of GoPro Labs--thank you! Yesterday I mounted my GoPro to my handlebars and captured a 15 minute video riding down the parkway. It is very sharp, and to make matters worse I had stabilization turned on. The result is pretty jerky, but this setup would be good for extracting individual frames from the video. With regard to shutter, some of the video was out in direct sun, some was in the shade of heavy trees, etc. In that case I don't know if a single shutter would work well, since it's VERY hard to deal with exposure fluctuations in a video editor like Resolve. But if an auto shutter were to vary a lot then so would the motion blur. It's tricky I guess.

@GreatDayForAHike 10 ай бұрын

@SteveMartinUSA Absolutely. This video may also help you as I explain how to install the Labs firmware and how to ensure there is no jitter and ghosting if Hypersmooth needs to be left turned on.

I have the gopro10 ever since I got it, I can't record proper videos at night. They look like a $5 dollar camara quality. I seen some videos on how to improve it but I don't see any changes. Any suggestions...

@GreatDayForAHike 2 ай бұрын

Yes, this is caused by Hypersmooth not working properly due to too slow of a shutter speed at night time. Hypersmooth is a form of electronic image stabilization (EIS) and it won’t work properly without a faster enough shutter speed. In this video I explain this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5uDq5aknprXqas.htmlsi=53FpuNTqiMGhCdsg In this video I provide my recommended low light settings for the Hero 12 but these settings will apply for the Hero 10 too: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lc2Fft2Vur2uZo0.htmlsi=MjODC7ij4HqxiSGV Hope this helps you.

So do you need a nd filter indoors or at darker areas as well for motion blur?

@GreatDayForAHike 3 ай бұрын

Motion blur relates strictly to shutter speed and having a slower shutter speed relative to frame rate. An ND filter is a tool that limits the light reaching your camera’s sensor. This then allows for slowing down the shutter speed to let in more light. Indoors and darker areas generally have low enough lighting that an ND filter is not needed in order to get a slower shutter speed.

@pete2324 Жыл бұрын

Just want to make sure I understand that last part about the gimbal. I have no interest in purchasing a mechanical gimbal for my GoPro. So that being the case I shouldn’t not bother with ND filters?

@GreatDayForAHike Жыл бұрын

You could still use an app like ReelSteady to stabilize clips in post production but that feature in the GoPro Player app costs $99 which is more than the cost of these gimbals when they are on sale.

Hello there! I am new to the GoPro world, so this is super helpful. I have a question though... Are the sample videos provided here, specially the one which shows the difference of the beach with or without the ND filter, edited in post? I am running into an issue that my video seems over expose when I shoot on Flat to color grade later. Thank you again for a great video.

@petesig93 Жыл бұрын

Every recommendation I have heard has said to set the EV to -0.5 as the GoPro tends to overexpose. I have done this and have no problems with overexposure. Light quality from skies and bright days is excellent. I am not using Flat colour though.

@GreatDayForAHike Жыл бұрын

Yes. Agreed, setting the EV to -0.5 will help greatly with getting the proper exposure.

my issue with the hero 7 is that all my exposure is judged by my eye, there is no actual -ev settings, has that changed from the hero 10? will you tell if its exposed or do you have to just look by eye and see.

You still have to look by eye on either the camera itself or in the Quik app on your phone. I recommend the Quik app for best accuracy.
