the stabilisation isn't off, it's on and that's why it's vibrating.. There's blur from the shutter. It's better for static shot, or shot on motorcycles.
yes exactly, I wasn't thinking straight when I tried them all gung ho. The GoPro is not a cinema camera anyway and as such it's better to let it do it's thing. A polarizer only filter should be useful on a grey day to reduce the glare on the leaves and make the colors pop. I'll try in the spring
yes it would be the way to go. I don't have that piece of software as I don't really want to pay for it because I wouldn't use it that much. Maybe the stabilization in post using DaVinci or FinalCut Pro or Premiere Pro would do the same trick ? But I'm guessing the GoPro software would be the best because it's the GoPro ecosystem and it's dedicated. Maybe ?
Thank you for your input. Actually that made me think that I should probably film everything at 60 fps so I could have the option for slow motion on all of those clips. then the 1/125th would make perfect sense thus the filters be of use to force that 1/125th specially in summer or on snow. Otherwise using the filters but not forcing the shutter speed to a chosen speed would defeat the purpose of those filters. I was started to feel that I wouldn't use them much because it was best to leave the GoPro in all auto but filming everything or almost at 60 fps and 1/125th opens new perspectives and those filters would be of actual use. Thank you again.
Hello there! I bought a gopro hero 9 for traffic monitoring while in city. i need all the stabilisation that the camera can give and i would like to ask you if in this case i can add ad nd/cpl hybrid filter or only cpl filter to my camera without losing video smoothness. i have to mention that i only film 2.7k 60fps all auto. thanks!
if you need the most stabilization I found that it's better to let the gopro do its thing in all auto regarding shutter speed and iso, it will pick the best settings for the best stabilization. So I would go with the CPL filter only when you need some pop in the colors on a grey day for example. As it's not a cinema camera I wouldn't bother about the 180 degree rule, aka filming 1/48th for 24fps. However as you film in 60fps the 180 rule would be to force 125th s shutter speed so you should be OK with stabilisation even with ND filter. For everyday filming I wouldn't use them (ND filters) but they could be handy if it's super bright like snow or beach in middle of summer day, and even there I would just use them to have proper exposure because it's too bright but in all auto for shutter speed and iso and not force the 180 rule. As several persons noted in the comments it's not a cinema camera so we should not want to use it like such. Hope this help.
@@positiveattitudebymichusa ty for your answer. so, as a conclusion, i should only put a hybrid filter (cpl+nd 16) only on super bright summer days (as i wont ride the motorcycle in the snow - or just maybe if i go skiing and want some footages) with all auto settings, right? PS i had to make a conclusion after all, since those details you mentioned are not my strong point xd. thanks again and keep it up!!
yes exactly, when it's too bright like snow and beach, or very sunny. we had snow and yesterday I actually forgot the filter for my other camera and it struggled, it was too bright for my settings, I didn't expect to be that sunny, I didn't even have my circular polarizer and I would have benefited actually from the ND. Yes all auto settings for the GoPro to have smooth footage, let its computer do the heavy lifting. Little by little (steep learning curve) you'll get more familiar with some of the concepts (and learn by trial error I am telling you 😊 and you'll find yourself comfortable tweaking some of the auto settings with good results.
I would go for the CPL only filter because the other one like one commenter said is better for use in static shot as on a tripod or other steady device. So if you don't plan on using the GoPro on a tripod regularly you won't use them that much. a circular polarizer only would be much helpful to reduce glare and make the color pop more. Myself I bought one after these tests but then it's been winter and not much light nor much colors so I haven't used it yet. And it's also cheaper

Thanks for showing "how it looks" however. Very useful !
I wonder how it looks like if you turn off hypersmooth and stab in post with gopro reel steady !

Solution is to change the shutter speed to 1/125th when using nd filters.

Should i buy this for my gopro 10.since u mentioned its a shaky footage. Or should i buy the cpl filter only from frre well. Thanks
