My GoPro Settings Explained 2021
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 เม.ย. 2021
- I get asked all the time what GoPro settings for motovlogging I use, so here are my GoPro settings explained one by one with some examples of the effects each setting has, and the best GoPro settings for motorcycles I've found best suited for me.
The whole topic of which are the best settings are very individual as they depend on where you're using the GoPro, what are the weather and lighting conditions like at the time, what experience do you have in terms of final editing, and also just your own personal choice as to what type of image you prefer comes out the GoPro.
I'll explain each of my settings and why I choose them, so by the end of this vid you'll have a better understanding of what the GoPro settings are all about, and you'll be able to go out and try for yourself.
Hope you enjoy the vid folks, keep SUBSCRIBING, keep SHARING, keep LIKING, and keep letting me know what you think in the COMMENTS section below!

Thanks again Bruce, just purchased a Gopro 9 to go with my 7 and session 5, now getting all my stuff sorted for my tip to Scotland in August for the NC500 and Skye anticlockwise. Cheers
Great video! I am a nerd for camera setting videos like this, enjoyed the comparison shots!
Loved that 😎👌 I’ve learnt more in that video about my camera setting than I have from any other video, keep up the good work .
Cheers Bruce...it's a steep learning curve and your advice and tips are certainly making the gopro a lot easier to get to grips with 😁
Great video! I was planning on making myself some split video footage to compare but you've done it for me. Thank you so much!
Just got my GoPro, and heading to Scotland in May... so glad I watched this... that’s me sorted Bruce, you’re a top man... ride safe bud 👍😊
I have learnet more in this video about my gopro camra setting .good work
thank you for this kind of information
Mega Bud! Love these tech focused vids! 🔝🎥🎬🆒💯 Btw.. New helmet looks phenomenal, nice upgrade over the Ruroc👌🏻 Love a peaked lid too🔥🔥🔥
Hi Bruce from New Scotland 😀 Fantastic video. I just got my GoPro 10 and this is a big help so thank you. Looking forward to giving it a go on the bike. Safe travels 🏍
Brilliant. Straight to the point and no messing 💯
Thanks for the tips
Thanks Bruce will be highly delighted if i can capture footage like that with those settings !!!
Very helpful thanks 👍🏻
Thanks for the info .👍
Thanks Bruce, another informative video. Always had trouble with gopro cutting my videos into like 5 minute segments on 4k 60 so will give your settings a go.
Great video, very well explained!!
thank you , this is the best video setings gopro for moto use thank you .
Thanks Chap, a really informative video! 👍
Cheers Peter 👍
Thanks Bruce, change my setting off out to try them 👍
Like the side-by-side comparisons! Good man for taking the time to do those! Thank you
No probs Sam, glad they’re of some use to you 👍
Hi your gix for the pop and crack worked great
Thanks
Nice to see your settings Bruce. Will give mine a wee fiddle!
Grat video, I've just bought the hero 10 and only used it once on the bike so far, I'm out in the morning using these settings cheers
Brilliant thanks. I have saved the vid so I can go over it a leisure 👌
Great video Bruce learning all the time . On a side note lovin the new lid goes with the tractor very well stay safe bud 👍👍
Cheers Dale 👍
Great video, Ill try this.
Setup looks great here Bruce! 🙌🏽
Cheers dude 👍
Awesome mate thank you for doing this video keep up the great work mate
My pleasure Darren, appreciate your comment bud, thank you 👍
Just bought the Gp 9 mate, thanks for the video, I wasn’t far off your settings too!
Cheers Simmo 👍
Excellent vid Bruce! Reminds me, must order another T Shirt (great quality)!
Thanks Mark 👍
Great video cheers
Good vid, thanks. Would definitely like a ND filter video please. Cheers
Cheers Bruce, that was so useful as I’m new to the GoPro
No bother Paul 👍
Excellent tutorial on Go pro settings.
Thanks 👍
Great video! Was easy to understand and not to technical. Perfect thanks
Awesome, glad it’s of some help 👍
@@teapotone going to help a ton. Trying to improve our setup so we can make better content. Thanks again
Great tips Bruce. Thanks.
No probs bud, glad they’re of use 👍
Nice one. I will try it on my GoPro 7 Black
Finally a GoPro settings video I can understand THANK YOU BRUCE 😁👌
Yes please if you could explain the filters side of things I would love that,
I’ve treated myself to a hero 8 this year and some polar pro filters, I really want to try and crisp this video making thing, so the mrs and me have some lovely memories of our tours ,
I’m struggling to figure the filters out tbh
Thanks again Bruce , a big help that one 😁👍🏼
Cool, no probs, I’ll get one done then 👍
Thankyou so much
Love from India ❤️
No problem, hope it helps 👍
Great video thanks for sharing pal . it has transformed my little videos 👏🏻👍🏻🏍💨LYL
Top man Pete, cheers 👍
Nice Bruce thanks.. I just push rec button 🤣 it works for me. Keep safe hope to meetup soon 🍺👍
Great video. I’ve just bought a DJI Osmo Action for my upcoming trip to Scotland next month and can pretty well replicate the same settings on that camera, so I’ll give it a go! Thanks Bruce.
Cheers Mark,
I’d be interested to see how you find the Osmo 👍
Great insight into personal settings and the outcomes, I use as near as I can settings on Hero 5 Black, but prefer linear on bike to superview as bikes in front always seem to far away, yes I know get closer 😂 thanks Bruce 👍
No that’s very true bud, you have to be mega close to the bike in front to get any kind of ‘close up’ in Superview 👍
Hello Big man. Just received my GoPro hero 9. I have used your guide to set my camera up. Here is hoping it works! 🙏😀
Great job Bruce, after 5 minutes in, all I could think about was can I afford a Go Pro 9? After spending a fair few hundred notes on mods for my MT recently, I know the missus will not be happy! I might need to come up with some “safety justification” to convince her! Anyway if/when I do get one, this vid and the previous one will give me the confidence to get it up and running quickly. Cheers pal, keep up the good work, it’s all appreciated.
I thought it was just my sausage fingers that struggle with the screen!! Thanks man, much appreciated for this, no more shitty vlogs for me!!! 💪👍
Ha Ha, mate that Hero 9 screen is terrible! The others aren’t that great either sadly, but I think the Hero 7 screen was better 👍
Great insights. I appreciate the effort you spent creating this. Thanks Bruce. I would love to fly over there and join a ChickenStrips tour one day once the world resumes some normalcy.
Thanks bud, you’re more than welcome in 2022 when I restart the tours 👍
THAT BEARD!!! THAT BEARD GOT YOU MY SUB!!!
🤣 Thanks bud 👏 Welcome to the channel 👍
another excellent and informative video. For me as a novice, it gives me a starting point. Hoping to get out this weekend to test settings. Totally agree with the screen, it is unresponsive and can be difficult to scroll and set values sometimes. Maybe a scroll wheel in future releases would be useful. Keep up the good work.
Cheers bud 👍
Thank you Bruce! After several failed attempts to get decent results with my new Hero 10 I came across this post/video. That changed things immediately! More or less copied everything you explain, minus a few things. That brought me on the right track! I'll never become a youtuber probably. More of an old school motorcycle blogger, with the intention to use video clips to spice up stories/posts. But at least now I can do so with decent results!
While doing research I also learned another thing. That TH-cam is not a technological democracy. That size and commercial powers (views) matters. That the bigger channels/youtubers and commercial enterprises gets priority. And thus will have at their disposal more server/CPU power, more quickly. Amateur like me will always have to wait longer to get the optimal Codec. But if it wasn't for your recommendations I probably never would have. Cheers mate!
Thanks Knut,
Yep youtube does favour the bigger channels certainly, it’s a very dark art of which nobody truly knows the ever lasting secret as the algorithm changes frequently via ai 🤷♂️👍
great video thinking of getting a gopro , very interesting video 👍
Thanks Paul 👍
They have their little ‘quirks’ like shutting down randomly, or not powering on unexplainable, but I still think they’re a good camera for on the bike. I used the GoPro subscription scheme so got a good discount t on my Hero9 with the media mod (essential for connecting up a Lav mic in your lid - means you don’t need that God-awful audio adaptor thing).
Great tutorial for us mere mortals. l live in Spain were l really don’t need to ‘fiddle’ with settings to much. l currently use a GoPro 8, l use similar setting to you.. Back in the day when using color reversal film in an olde worlde camera l very often under exposed a little to saturate the color…..it’s a fine line though..if you got it wrong you were screwed…
On the Hero 8 the file size for all settings of 2.7k and 4k are the same per minute if you set it on high bitrate mode but consumes more battery on 4k.
Grey walls looking slick Bruce. Way better than the white. Some great tips in here, you've even convinced me to think about using the EV comp a bit more. Though I tend to be way more extreme with the ISO lock cos of the ND filters and such. Have you ever considered messing about with the Gopro Labs firmware? YOu can globally change settings with a QR code and also choose to have 12GB files instead of 4GB. I'm seriously considering it but yet to find anybody that's tried it in real life!
I’d heard about them but not tried as yet bud👍
Some great advice there Bruce, cheers 🍻 👍. Perhaps it's time to upgrade from my Hero 4!!. Cheers Steve
The Hero 4 is still a firm favourite because of its rock solid audio and reliability bud👍
The video quality is definitely poorer quality though.
If you do my audio fix from the previous vid, you shouldn’t have audio issues with the new GoPro’s, but they are still somewhat ‘quirky’ in terms of their reliability at times 🤷♂️👍
Hi and good video
just realised your video was on boxley hill in kent near me haha
Useful video, your image quality looks good, I'm stuck with a lowly GoPro Session (I like it's small size) so not much to alter in settings, i generally stick with 1080/60 & GoPro Colour
The Sessions are a great wee camera, I’ve got a few Session 5’s and they’re really useful for some auxiliary shots 👍
Wow thanks so much for this. I found with boost on in the hypersmooth I get more of those image break ups. Is there anything else that can affect the break ups? Your audio tips were great too. Does everybody drive on the wrong side of the road over there? 🤣
Nice one thanks for that. I'm having trouble seeing the GP9 to 4k 60....i have heard its a bug with the latest update. Can you set yours to 4k 60?
Tanks
just bought myself the hero 8 and the media mod
I like the "ON AIR" sign in the background
Cheers bud, still too dark in the background, need some more accent lighting I think
@@teapotone I can barely see your helmet
Sadly that’s what she said 😞🤷♂️
Great vid! Mad the tweaks, looking forward to seeing the difference. I sorted the popping and crackling, thx. As soon as I sorted the audio I then got a message “No SD card”...........aaaaaaahhhhhh 🤬🤬🤬🤯🤯🤯. Pulled the battery a couple of times, reformatted the SD card when I got home and it’s gone away. “GoPro, the gift that keeps giving.” 😊
Mate their firmware is a nightmare at times isn’t it 🤦♂️
Glad your audio is sorted, and hope you get some great footage by playing with the settings 👍
That was very interesting stuff right there I will be saving this one for when I actually got a camera loads of useful info cheers Bruce and also are all cameras available more or less the same cheers : D
Cheers Malcolm,
All cameras utilise aperture, shutter speed and ISO. If you do t know what you’re doing then just whack it on auto and off you go - but altering the aperture, shutter and iso levels can really improve the image quality and also allow much more in terms of post editing etc.
GoPro’s have a fixed aperture of 2.8, so we have to work with the other settings as detailed in this vid 👍
Good information and very helpful The problem I'm having with my new gopro which got me looking for help is pixelation around the speedo and on the pavement directly in front of me, like the line between what's moving past me and what's moving with me, i.e., the bike. Everything else is acceptable but that pixelation on the pavement drives me nuts and I can't unsee it. Thing is, I can see it in your video too! Is just something gopro users need to learn to live with?
I experimented with high and medium sharpness. I like the high sharpness contrary to what is told by most on youtube. I like it crisp.
Aye I’m the same - but I’ve got to say, looking back at all the footage I took side by side, there are times when I really liked the low/soft sharpness and medium settings too
@@teapotone Yes I agree with you. One setting can't do it all. But for a person who is not looking into the details and see's footage as it is, there something catchy about the high sharp crisp image. I seem to enjoy it more overall.
hey mate v useful video thanks, been testing out my recenlty aquired gopro 7, before i do some bike travels of my own, longish term goal is to ride to tokyo... Will give these setting a try, along with your audio settings. small note, on the final list of settings at end of video, it looks like you've set EV Comp to 0.5, rather than the -0.5 i believe you were aiming for. Im not sure how easy it is up update, im guessig not very. ha Cheers Tom
Cheers Tom,
Yeah that should say -0.5 🤦♂️
Great video Bruce, I want to start moto vlogging as soon as I get a bike so this was really helpful. hope your doing well. Just want to say that it has been great listening to all your podcasts. Never listened to anyone’s podcasts before but yours are awesome. I have a question, I might be looking into a GSXR 600 or 750, this might be a silly question but do you know why the 600 or 750 do not come with abs? 👍🏻
Hello Dan,
Thanks very much bud, that’s great to hear you’re enjoying the podcasts!
None of the Gixxer’s used to have abs actually, I think it wasn’t until about 2012-2014 that they started offering it on the 1000, and of course they don’t do the 600 or 750 anymore 🤷♂️
@@teapotone thank you 👍🏻 yeah I have seen and on the 1000 but I would crap my pants on that thing ha ha it’s so fast. It’s weird why abs is not on the 600 or 750. Guess it’s not a major deal breaker though. Just have to be a bit easy with the brakes but its not like I will be taking it to the track so just road riding mainly. Thanks for the reply Bruce 👍🏻
Nice one Bruce, n ice run thru for us mere mortals, finally can get out and give my go pro a go, what kind of memory cards do you use?
Cheers Paul, I use the SanDisk Extreme Pro cards
Deal: SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB microSDXC Memory Card + SD Adapter with A2 App Performance + Rescue Pro Deluxe 170MB/s Class 10, UHS-I, U3, V30, Red/Gold www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07G3H5RBT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_6Q6AX1T5XFJT5JY8A0H6
@@teapotone Thx again man :-)
After the last one on sound issues, changed my settings and now is so much better, Thanks, hope this one can improve my footage quality too, Good skills Bruce, I’m enjoying these technical vids😎
Cheers Simmo, glad they’ve been of use for you bud 👍
Cheers Bruce, I'll give that ev comp of -0.5 a go for next time I'm out on the bike. I run different settings depending on what bike I'm on, my Moto Guzzis get the 60fps treatment as road stuff is quite fast, whereas my Beta footage, I record at 30fps as I am going slower, so the smoothness is not missed and it is more often than not lower light on the green lanes.
Motonosity is lucky to live in perpetual sunshine, where as we have to contend with often all types of weather within the same ride so what he does may not work as well for us.
Aye absolutely, I found his settings and those of some American mountain bike channels is too dark for our British ‘sunshine’ 😂👍
@@teapotone The UK is poop on occasions.... but by jolly, we have far better roads to play on! :D
Thanks for your brilliant video mate ! About the angle you've got on your videos, I can't manage to get the same road and horizon space on my shots, even though the gopro 10 is pretty straight on my helmet chin. Is there a hook that is a little bit longer to attach the gopro on so I can tilt it up a bit and get more of the road ? (I'm in super view)
Thanks bud,
Yep I use the J Hook which I got in this Grab Bag from GoPro
gopro.com/en/gb/shop/mounts-accessories/grab-bag/AGBAG-002.html
Just gives you that bit extra room 👍
Great vid and thank you for the insight into your set-up, some good advice. One question tho, if your shooting a 2.7 or 4k will it make a difference with TH-cam 1080p?.
Thanks again for the great vid sir.
Thanks Tyke,
Yep even though TH-cam usually downgrades/downprocesses 4k footage to 1080, downgraded 4k footage is generally still a bit better than standard 1080.
Plus if you download at 2.7k or 4k, youtube will give the viewer the option to watch it at 2.7 or 4k if their internet speed is good enough 👍
@@teapotone Cheers Bruce
i can't figure out why but in my recordings with the GP9 the asphalt "toplayer" appears te float still above the actual road.. can't figure out why.. But learning a lot here will keep comming back!
Should i use auto level or not? Im using it on my motorbike too
How long did you find the battery lasted on your settings Bruce?
Cheers Bruce - really useful info. What’s the latest best method to connect an external mic? Do you still need one of those dodgy little £50 adaptors?
Cheers Allan,
I use the media mod with the Hero9 now as my helmet cam - it allows me to connect the Lav mic without the adaptor.
Was absolutely perfect and I had no audio issues whatsoever using my ‘anti-crackle audio settings’......
But, then I did the recent Hayabusa vid and once your speed is decidedly illegal, the sporadic crackling returned 🤦♂️ There wasn’t much of it though, and I’m not sure if it’s a physical thing caused by turbulence on the mic connection itself, or perhaps interference caused by the camera’s software at certain sound frequencies??? I’ve no idea at the mo
To connect powered or non powered microphone to your gopro without media mod you always need £50 adaptor... unfortunately
sooo use sharpness high if its cold outside so its crisp like the weather, then low if its warm haha ?
Great vid Bruce, one thing to mention if you're using the Hero 7 with the mic adaptor plugged in (not sure if it's the same for the 9 with the media mod?). Check your mic is set to Line In and not something else like Powered Mic or boosted audio etc. so you don't end up speaking to the camera for 30 mins and getting garbage/no audio...not that's ever happened to me...oh no...
😂👍
Hello! With these settings can I configure my hero 7 black? And how do I avoid oversaturated skin color with go pro color? I'm new to this 😟
Thank you! Quite helpful! I have been so far using 4K but really it's way too much and I don't even use it.
Question: What do you use to edit? I have been using Resolve, as I would not want to pay for a Premiere license just for my home made stuff.
Cheers Daniel,
I use Final Cut Pro X for editing 👍
Very useful video as always! As it's now two years old, i was wondering if you had any updates or are you still using the same settings? I recently bought a hero 11 to use on the bike. Thanks!
Cheers Luke,
Only thing I change these days on my 9,10 and 11’s is I set the EV to 0 on n the UK as it’s usually overcast, so -0.5 can be a bit dark
@TeapotOne spot on! Thanks for the reply mate! 👍🏼
Hi can you do a more update video on the gopro 11 or 12 please
With the new GoPro’s, certainly from the 10 onwards, you can just switch them on and use them.
Just use the ENDURO batteries, I get way less issues using the white ENDURO batteries 👍
I thought I recognized this area, That's Boxley road!!
Hi Bruce, are you back out riding yet? I have been out for a couple of short rides whilst the advice is still to stay local, I think it's the end of April before we can officially go further afield? Have you any plans to test ride the Honda CMX 1100 Rebel? I'd be interested to see what you make of it, it's mostly US reviews on YT so far, I live in the SW of UK, keen to find out what the Rebel would be like for spending longer periods of time in the saddle like half a day with only stopping for fuel.
Hello bud,
I’m the same as you, only been local so far.
I can see if I can get hold of a Rebel bud, will see what I can do 👍
Great !Lots of Info Sir🤟 i just got a hero 10 ,came frm hero 8,still hving prblem with audio cracking on my sportsbike upon reaching highspeed,should i leave the wind noise at auto or off if the mic is plugged?thanks
The wind noise setting has to be either stereo or off, just NOT auto 👍
@@teapotone thanks🤟
Thanks Bruce, really useful video! How do you find the battery life on the Hero 9 with those settings? Cheers, Andy
Thanks Andy - I get between an hour and about an hour and a half usually with the Hero 9
@@teapotone thanks Bruce, that's about what I get from the Hero 7 Black in cold conditions but with 1080 setting. I have invested in a power pack that gives a lot more life although it's an extra lead. Am thinking of investing in the 9 as it's not that more expensive than the 8 at the moment (surpised the 8 hasn't dropped more in price. Hope everything is well with you and yours.
All good here thanks bud 👍
Would you choose a 7,8,9 or 10 if money was no issue?
Thanks, a very useful video. I've just fixed my gopro to my helmet but using a purple panda mic, I'm getting a lot of breathing noise. Admitadly, I have only tried the helmet on indoors to see how the settings work and not on the bike yet, but hope to in the next day or so. Ive tried different positions for the mic, even had it facing rearwards, but I still get a lot of breathing noise. I've tried the mic with and without the dead cat. Any suggestions, thanks
… don’t breathe so hard 😉
Seriously, it’s all about mic position. You just have to find a position where you get minimal wind noise, minimal effect from your breathing and air flow when talking, and optimal pickup of your voice.
For me, using the Shoei Hornet ADV lid, I find the best place is towards the top of one of the cheek pads, around the height of my top lip
@@teapotone great, thanks for coming back so quickly. I have a Shoei neotech 2 and it being a flip lid limits some of the possibilities. I’ll try slightly higher in the helmet and take your sound advice of breathing less hard! 👍🏼
Did you already go over what accessory you’re using to film ?
Sorry bud I don’t understand what you’re asking here?
Hi Bruce, great video for Gopro users :o) i hope you don't mind but may i ask about your settings for exporting videos ready to upload to youtube please?
After i have edited my videos and uploaded to youtube they are incredibly "pixelated" wheres on my pc when played they are nice and clear so i wondered if i may ask what settings you use to export the file please?
Thanks.
Hello bud,
I use Final Cut Pro X to edit and export generally at 2.7k format (as I film at 2.7k most of the time) and export as an mp4 file
@@teapotone Hi Bruce, thanks for the reply. I too export as MP4, H.264 Video codec. do you know what Bitrate you export in?
I thought you may record in 2.7 or 4K as your videos are lovely and clear but i'm sure i read youtube only displays upto a certain resolution? I understand you are starting with higher quality footage any way :o) just bugs me how quality is lost when i upload mine :o/
It does seem like if you are a smaller channel, TH-cam seems to drag the ta feet when processing your vids to a higher resolution (where available). I noticed that with my new podcast channel, it seems to take forever for the high quality resolution versions of the vids to be available, whereas on the main TeapotOne channel they seem to be almost instant.
There’s no option for bitrate in Final Cut Pro X, I just set it as ‘H.264 Better Quality’.
Looking at your vids, is that a GoPro your filming on as it looks more like Drift footage? It’s quite flat colour wise and doesn’t seem to have the contrast or saturation of a GoPro. Are you filming at 1080 or higher? What bitrate are you filming at? Is it set to auto or do you use manual controls for white balance, exposure etc?
Best bet with GoPro is to whack it on auto, highest bitrate, with GoPro colour then do some filming and upload a test file just to see if it makes any difference.
@@teapotone the main footage is a drift ghost xl, set at 1080p 30 fps, exposure 0, bitrate high, filter normal , ISO auto . I also export as high quality when i have edited.
I have just bought a cheap Gopro 3+ for a rear camera, but that footage has not been edited yet :o)
Thought so - the Drift footage just isn’t in the same league as GoPro or Osmo sadly, that’s why I left them 🤷♂️
Hey Bruce, I'm currently in the market for a Hero 8 or 9,but currently a bit stumped! lol
Does the Media Mod for the 8 & 9 do away with the need to have the Audio Adapter, therefore not having it stuck onto the side of your lid? 🤔
Yes mate, it allows you to plug the 3.5mm jack from your Lav mic directly into the media mod - much cleaner setup and so far no audio issues when you use my wee audio fix from the previous vid 👍
@@teapotone Cheers mate, Though still undecided which 1 to choose, but promise I definitely won't do you out a job! 🤣👍
Do you record in 60fps just to be able to slow down the footage? And export in 24-/30fps? Or do you also edit/export in 60fps?
No I record my on-bike stuff at 60fps just because I like the crisper image it provides - HOWEVER, I’m experimenting more with the ND filters currently and I think my personal taste is changing a bit as there are times when I like the cinematic look these provide.
I export at 60fps if the majority of the footage is onboards, but if it’s a podcast or more studio focussed, then I export at 30fps usually.
Not a vlogger but still interested in how you get your footage
Cheers Simon 👍
Can you film at 60fps but upload at 30fps (does this do anything - is it possible)
Just got a GoPro and that’s helped loads, any ideas what mic set up I could use to help with the wind, and where to buy??
Sorry to ask, I’m sure you get loads of this, another numpty!!😂😂😂
No worries, I’ve done a vid on it actually -
th-cam.com/video/0wJ5vtksVkc/w-d-xo.html
I have everything I use in my Amazon shop - amzn.to/2S0FUqx
@@teapotone cheers Bruce, just clocked it after I sent the message 🙄🙄🙄
Moving on since this vid Bruce, have you now got the 10? Seems a few peeps are having freezing issues and SD card errors…
Aye I’ve got the 10 now, not had any issues at all so far to be fair. I have heard a couple of other folk who have had freezing issues and SD card corruptions though.
I’ve had all those issues with the Hero 7 and 9, whereas I know others who never had any problems.
I think it’s just luck of the draw to be honest 🤷♂️👍
@@teapotone Thanks Bruce, been looking at them for Morocco,if it goes ahead
Do you still record in one minute sections, I’m sure I’ve heard you say this before but can’t find the video. I’ve just bought the GoPro 11 and I can’t find in the settings to be able to change recording lengths from continuous recording, which ends up half hour in one go. I would be grateful if you have any info or tips. Thanks Trevor
Hi Trevor,
I have the camera set on ‘one touch record’, so as I’m riding I just hit the record button on my cameras and they start recording (there’s a few seconds start up delay obviously).
I then record for however long I want and hit the record button again to stop.
@@teapotone thank you for your rapid reply, right I’ve got that and know what you mean.
I have done this and just wasn’t sure if you had as well on 1 minute sections. Think I will get a remote as well.
I’m getting set up to start another channel and your videos are a great resource and influence to many. I’ve just started watching your videos from when you started and I admire you with your principles in going full time to Live your Life.
Keep it up. Thanks Trevor
Bruce you have used loads of cameras but what is your favourite?
For onbike stuff it’s still the GoPro - I love the variety of mounting solutions available, I love the stabilisation and image quality it provides (when it works) - just the versatility of the product.
I’d like to try the Insta360 OneR and One X2 but can’t afford the outlay to buy them at present - however Lamb Chops swears by them. I found the original OneX wasn’t reliable enough for me and seemed to suffer from vibrations issues at higher speeds on the bike - but again Chops seems to do fine with his.
For off bike stuff I love the DJI Pocket 2. It’s a fantastic little camera that lets you do so much, and I also love the Mavic air 2 drone for the cinematic stuff.
