You can but unfortunately you can't just plug in a 1/8" mic plug. See here: community.gopro.com/t5/Cameras/hero-7-black-external-microphone/td-p/243484

I put a copy here. Let me know when you get it and I will remove it: jmtsolutions.com/files/

Where in Europe? I spent a few years in Germany (and traveled to many countries around Europe). Europe is very nice.

@@vmdirt Poland. Well.. it is but it is also a very diverse continent. Depending on where you go, you experience something different. Every single country is totally different from its neighbor. In my neighbourhood, there are some wooden houses that were built in the communism era standing right next to modern splendid apartments. Sometimes it looks hillarious :D

It was the raw video straight from the camera. Whatever bitrate it records in.

It's definitely something with how KZfaq transcodes and compresses the video. The video looks stunning before uploading to KZfaq. I haven't been able to figure it out.

GS1200 Cork I got a hero session four and I love it but I think it’s time for an upgrade!

It's because of the youtube encoding and your bitrate

GS1200 Cork use H.624 format when uploading to KZfaq that’s the best and fastest

What video editor do you use? I've tried several things and my final output video always looks grainy

This is west st louis illinois

east st louis

It is east of St Louis but it is not East St Louis. :)

Actually this video is the best quality I've been able to get on KZfaq. It looks pretty good in 4k actually. But, if I record in 1080p the original video before uploading looks just as good or better than what you see in this video at 4k, but on KZfaq it looks absolutely terrible. I don't want to have to record everything in 4k@60fps because the file sizes are huge and very hard to work with and very time consuming in all areas of edit, upload, processing etc.

yeah, i don't think i've seen a good quality 1080p video of hero 7 on youtube.

And it's not a GoPro issue. It's a KZfaq compression issue. I have seen some really good quality GoPro video on youtube so my theory is KZfaq compresses video more significantly on videos that aren't going to make them any money.

I used to mount my Contour Roam cameras on the side of my helmet but the GoPros are not aerodynamic at all so I mounted this one on the chin.

This is not an exported video. It is the raw video file copied straight off the card. But the bit rate on it is around 60,000 kbps.

@@vmdirt hey so you mean this is a video straight from the card without any post productions? Did you used nd filter on this?

Uuu ty tu😂

@@Kamilusiek_najlepszy_youtuber No kurde xD

All defaults.

@@vmdirt Wtf... Is my cam broken or what

@@vmdirt Do you can add me on facebook or something? I have big problems with my cam...

I do not. I wish there were better options for that.

Yes, those were completely default settings. I have always had very bad luck uploading video to KZfaq and have the quality be anywhere near as good as the original raw files played on the home computer. I have found most of the problem is on KZfaq's end. I have never been able to upload a good quality 1080p video. What I have found is that anything above 1080p with a high bitrate seems to come out the best. Now I shoot everything at 2.7k 60fps Linear POV and when I edit any video in Davinci I make sure to upscale it to 4k and set the bitrate to 60,000 kbps. KZfaq compression still makes a few things look bad (e.g. riding through a stand of trees), but it's the best quality I can get. As far as tuning things in the protune settings that's where I could use more knowledge. I also picked up a copy of Davinci which I think could help get the brightness and color right if I knew more about how to use it. I've been getting better with it little by little. This video is just an upload of a raw GoPro file of course.

@@vmdirt Thanks for such an in-depth reply. I think a lot can be improved if shot in the "flat color profile" should help to keep the dynamic range from clipping (which can make high contrast tree shadows appear just black instead of gradients of gray as it should). With the flat profile you can color correct in post process.

Awesome! I just changed the settings to flat color profile. It might be a while before I get to record another video. Snow has moved in.

@@vmdirt Which videos are 2.7k 60FPS linear? I'm trying to decide whether to use 4k 60 wide or 2.7k 60FPS linear. 4k60 doesn't have linear FOV support yet.

I tried to name all the test videos with the mode I used. This one for example was in 4k Wide, which is what I recorded this particular video in. But like you said, 4k doesn't allow Linear FOV so I have decided to go with the 2.7k/60FPS/Linear for my motorcycle videos. I think Linear is the best FOV or motorcycle POV video. Anything I upload at this point will probably end up being recorded at 2.7k (or 1080P if it's video from my Hero 5), but upscaled to 4k before uploading to KZfaq. I have found that I can upload a video to KZfaq that was recorded in 1080p and it will look terrible on KZfaq, but if I upscale it to 4k, keeping at least the same bit rate as the original video, before uploading to KZfaq, it looks very good when played back as a 4k KZfaq video.

What area? What's Moto? I haven't ridden my ZX10 on the street much the last couple of years. I'm usually on my Super Duke.

@@vmdirt O'Fallon, right off the exit by the highway, up the street from Scott AFB. I've seen u a few times last season lol

The video is closer to Troy. I don't believe I got my ZX10 all the way down to O'Fallon on that road in the last couple of years. There are several bikes just like mine in the area though.

This video was all default settings except for that I listed in the title (4k@60fps FOV=Wide)

I replaced the electronic damper with a manual one.

vmdirt no I meant the stabilizer on the gopro lol...Is that on?

Ha ha, I realized what you meant and came back to fix it but it was too late. :) Yes, it is on.

Also, I have upgraded the firmware since I took this video and I think the jerkiness is now gone when turning.

Sure

@@vmdirt thank u!

Are you uploading the raw files from your GoPro or did you edit them before uploading? If you are uploading the raw files sometimes it takes several hours before KZfaq renders them at full resolution.

vmdirt I usually upload to my Mac book ( iMovie ) then KZfaq and it shows it’s uploading in 4K but it’s been a couple days and it’s still 720

Unfortunately I don't know anything about Macs or iMovie but have to assume iMovie is transcoding your video. If I upload the raw files directly from the camera using a web browser KZfaq renders them to 4k with no problem (other than taking several hours). But, I can also edit 4k videos in Davinci Resolve and upload to KZfaq in 4k with no problem.

Yes

This video was all default settings except for that I listed in the title (4k@60fps FOV=Wide)
