It would be great to see what your editing tools and process looks like in part 3. I imagine you capture hours of footage on a trip that you have to edit down to a short, concise video. I always find that part so daunting.
Appreciate this video! I’m upgrading to Hero 12 this year, and had not really considered the Max. Great stuff. I’m trying to up my ski video game and doing a lot of follow cam work with my little rippers.
Great video Lucas! I'm getting ready to purchase the GoPro Maxx before my son and I head out to Utah to shred in December. Would really like to see a video on your settings and editing. Thanks!
Great stuff. Love your ski videos! Do you ever worry about falling and breaking the non GoPro camera? I know you're a great skier so maybe you don't think about falling, but I'm curious about the durability of non-gopro cameras
thanks dave! i dont actively worry about it to be honest. if i take a bad fall, i do check on the gear to make sure its okay but for the most part - its always been fine. sometimes, i will pack a shirt in there with the camera for extra padding.
Awesome to see this side of the vlogs! The 360 cam for skiing is just the best! A little more editing but so so worth it for how the footage looks. Im very confused why gopro hasn't made a new max?
it sounds like you've already been to some of the best! you could also try out brighton/solitude in big cottonwood or snowbasin/powder mtn in northern utah.
I am curios about your thoughts between this and the insta360 x3 i am wanting to get a 360 cam and i dont know if the max or x3 is better. do you have any thoughts on this? also i am a begining editor and i dont have a whole bunch of time for editing so also how long does it take to reframe these shots for each video? thank! love the content keep it up!
I don’t see GP Boom on the site. Where did you purchase it? Did you take the two piece and remove one of the arms because I don’t see the single arm on the website.
Several people I’ve talked to have recommended the R6. I know there’s an R6 Mark ii as well. You mentioned you like the 24-70 lens. I know 24-105 is also popular. For ski video - are the some advantages of the 24-70 over the 24-105?
the 24-105 is a great lens! the downside to the 24-105 is that its lowest aperture is f/4 where the 24-70 can go down to f/2.8. the lower aperture makes it so the background can get super "blurry" ill say. for most people, you probably wouldn't notice the difference, but i just like that look for my broll shots!
just saw that Canon is releasing a 24-105 2.8 lens. Looks like a beast of a lens for weight, size, and price ... but hits a pretty great range!@@LucasCatania17
Thx Lucas - great callout on the challenges with "getting the shot" and not pointing at your toes or the clouds when trying to set a Hero angle. Would you consider doing a "settings" video for Heros? You may have one already and I should look up but currently on the Hero 10 and just looking to have a couple presets to get me close when skiing or handing the gear over to a family member so they could just hit record and have a good chance of being able to capture the shots?
thanks scott. great points. i did make one last year that is centered around the hero 10 actually, but im definitely down to do an updated one for this year! could also tailor it towards the situation you talked about!
@@LucasCatania17 Thank You! I went back and bookmarked that video and will watch it over lunch! Stuck in the mid-west I really appreciate your documenting your experiences. What an epic year you had (great season recap video you put together too) and looking forward to going on this journey with you again this winter.
i was wondering whether the gopro max has the same field of view / same filming quality etc as a regular go pro (such as the go pro hero 11 black) with the max lens mod?
No it does not. The Max is still significantly wider than the hero 11 + max lens mod. Now the new hero 12 + max lens mod 2.0 in hyperview is very close to the FOV you can get with the max.
Yo Lucas, I have the GoPro Hero 9 and most trips, I try to record a lot but I keep getting sd card error and my videos continue to get corrupted/formatted . Any chance you ran into this problem and if you did, how did you resolve it bc last szn I lost a lot of good footage.
yo! i havent had that happen to me, but its definitely something people experience. i would recommend these 3 things: 1. make sure your SD card is all the way inserted (im sure it is but just make sure) 2. FORMAT the SD card after everytime you offload the footage 3. if it still gives you the error, my bet would be that your SD card write speed is too slow for the resolution/framerate you are shooting. might need to upgrade the SD card!
Thanks for the quick feedback, I'm thinking it's #3. I usually shoot in high resolution for a whole run so that could 100% be the reason. @@LucasCatania17
Awesome thanks Lucas. Always wonder about the gear so it’s great to see. Would love to see a vid on the editing process / software you use etc. Also “best practice” GoPro settings for skiing would be mint ! Thanks man
Hey Lucas, I live in Colorado and was wondering if you could spend more time during the season in Colorado in mountains like Breckenridge, vail, winter park
Thanks for the great content. I noticed you switched from your helmet 360 camera to a different camera to show the reality of the snowbird shot 15 line..That was sick BTW. Great scott also didn't really translate well in a 360 camera. Im planning on buying a camera that shows a more realistic perspective of the skiing. The 360 camera does a great job of filming a beatiful distorted scene and telling a general story, but seems to lack context on the actual ski run and how aggressive you are skiing it. Do you think this is fair? Is it possible to edit the 360 frame with settings, or should I stick to a traditional action camera setup?
Been waiting for this one. About to make the action camera plunge to add to my A7Siii and drones. Debating on waiting to see the new GoPro Max 2 coming out.
there's actually no fisheye or distortion with how i reframe my headcam. if there was, my skis would look stretched out or the trees would bend as they get to the edge of the frame.
@@LucasCatania17 thanks, checked it out. Just bought a Sony A6600 and purchased a Nanuk case to protect it skiing. You're brave not keeping the camera in a hard case. I'm not sure I'll be able to sit in the chair keeping it in the container...
I remember you messing with backpacks and I am not sure what that was all about.. I have thought about getting a GoPro.. It sounds like that 360 is what I would want.. I like the footage where I can see people's skis.. I am always checking out what skis people are on;)
Awesome video! Enduro batteries are game changers from the original gopro. I didn't have the camera shut off once on me, while skiing an entire run. Highly recommend the enduros!
i love talking about camera gear! so stoked to use the new cameras this winter.
don't forget about the livestream tonight at 6pm MST!

for sure! i'd love to share that process. thanks for watching brian!
Yep, I concur!!! Hook us up Lucas!
@@LucasCatania17make it brother
I'm a smaller ski review channel and this was really helpful, thanks for sharing! Cheers
sweet - glad it was helpful dude!
Awesome video! I can’t wait for part 2 and 3
thanks bro!
this is an awesome video man. love any video about how to film on the mountain. thanks!
glad you liked it luke!

awesome! the hero 12 is definitely a superb camera. especially coming from the hero 10 or lower imo!
Seeing through the lens of some incredible ski adventure keep up the great work guys
thanks jack!
Stoked to see this years ski vids!!!!!
stoked to make them dude!
I would love to see more on the actual settings, editing, or using the ND filters with the gopro 😁🤙🏻
sweet - will do!
@@LucasCatania17 thanks 😁🤙🏻

What are your GoPro slomo settings?
I love you Lucas! Can you recommend ski mountains in Utah, my family went to snowbird last year, we’ve been to park city, deer valley, snowbird, Alta!
it sounds like you've already been to some of the best! you could also try out brighton/solitude in big cottonwood or snowbasin/powder mtn in northern utah.
@@LucasCatania17 ok! Thanks
100% want an editing video! I know you use Adobe Premier. Would you ever consider DaVinci Resolve?
sounds good! yeah i've used davinci before and its great. just so used to premiere at this point and its a bit more friendly with the gopro max!
I am curios about your thoughts between this and the insta360 x3 i am wanting to get a 360 cam and i dont know if the max or x3 is better. do you have any thoughts on this? also i am a begining editor and i dont have a whole bunch of time for editing so also how long does it take to reframe these shots for each video? thank! love the content keep it up!
i would just get the insta360 then! much more user friendly.
I don’t see GP Boom on the site. Where did you purchase it? Did you take the two piece and remove one of the arms because I don’t see the single arm on the website.
Yah just using one arm for skiing!
I been thinking about 360 to add to my videos but not sure on GoPro max or insta 360 yet 🤔
both are great cameras! waiting on the max 2.0 :D
@@LucasCatania17 yeh will look into it. Need to step up our game this winter! If you ever make it over Japan get in touch 🤙

That was interesting. Certainly l wouldn’t say no to more info.

You had me until you recommended their backpack. I like their new mount to do 360 filming from a helmet.
not really recommending anything - just made a video about what i use!

the 360 cameras are fun but definitely require a bit more work. hopefully the new gopro 360 camera is a bit more user-friendly!

Hero 12 + max lens mod 2.0!

How do you get smooth b roll shots like 10:33 Also what resolution and fps to you use for these shots?
