@@Gemini_Connect It’s true. My wife commented on how easy it was to watch and understand the content. I’m older and just have shot video on a Sony HDR when the kids were little. Editing was nonexistent or poorly done with flipping screen transitions and that kind of stuff. I am trying to figure out the best way to film our son’s college football and lacrosse games. I just got the Hero 9, so it is very new (the old Sony records in 1080p at 60i but in MTS format - which is a pain). Please consider doing a video on best settings, filters, and simple edits for folks filming their kids football or soccer games. I think you’d get a lot of interest from both old and young parents that want to share those moments with other family and friends. In any event, I will keep watching. Thx.

Question about the Sermonic Blink 500 Pro: What are your settings for the mikes/transmitters? I’d like to end up with ONE audio track IF that’s possible (and as easily as possible). I’m more into the videos showing our hikes, etc., however, I’d like to add audio from my BFF that’s actually audible. So, my Saramonic set just arrived. What are your recommended transmitter settings (other than turning off the mute button).

@Gemini_Connect 3 жыл бұрын

Turn off mute, and make sure sound is set to Mono (instead of Stereo) if you want single track audio. Test out the mics on your subjects and with your camera to make sure the audio levels are where you want them. May need to dial up or down the gain. But other than that, those are the only settings we tweaked.

@HaloMediaRecords 2 жыл бұрын

your videos really convinced me to get gopro 9. I did some shooting in the city but the results were not very good. Especially the sky on a sunny day made the sky glow and the buildings that were white also glowed. another KZfaqr suggested turning down the exposure while others suggested getting an ND filter. Some suggested that ND filter will not correct the brightness captured by the gopro on a sunny day and will only slow the shutter speed. Could you please explain this? Thank you I appreciate any advice.

Both turning down the exposure and using an ND filter will help with shooting in sunny weather. ND filter explanation - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/apqcjKx_vKyUfZs.html

Two question, i use my GoPro H9 at my work, and i work in tunnel construction, do you have any tip on settings, all my videos is dark, and its almost impossible to bump it up in post production, (i am pretty much an amateur), and how to get rid of the blinking from led lights? The lights we have are modern led-lights and you get som kind of blinking from them, i guess it has something to do with framrate and the led-lights HZ number? Lasse

@Gemini_Connect 3 жыл бұрын

Two things affect darkness: ISO and shutterspeed. Try setting ISO Min to 100 and ISO Max to 3200, or even 6400. If that doesn't work, also set the shutterspeed to 1/120, and the resolution to 4K60fps. This will give you the best odds of shooting in low light, BUT if you tinkered with shutterspeed, your footage will be shaky, so I recommend using a gimbal (the Moza Mini P is my favorite for the Hero 9). The blinking LED lights are due to the light bulbs in your workspace. The only way to avoid this is to use a bigger camera like a Sony A7sIII.
