Which of the five have you been guilty of?! Let me know! Also, what other questions do you have that are GoPro related? Any other videos that you want to see coming up soon?
SUPER HELPFUL!! I make chin mounted POV MTB videos to recap trails, and capture the fun we're having. Your tips will help me situate myself at the tops so that the riders I'm filming talking will be front lit...sun behind me. Your tip to "treat it like it's a big camera" is also a reminder to move my head slowly from person to person as riders are talking. Some of the gold from the rides is in the funny conversations, and I have to fight my instincts not to turn normally. The issue is...now I have "Blair Witch" footage, and I can't the transitions out without also cutting out bits of the conversation. No bueno. I also need to work to get more "off the bike" footage and different perspectives, which relates to your "five second" clip minimum. Also...one tip I got years ago might help with your "stabilized walking" shots that you were doing by holding the camera cupped in your hands. If you turn the stick upside down and let the camera hang down, and hold it out in front of you at arm's length, that will help stabilize it just by utilizing the physics behind gravity wanting to pull straight down on it.
Great tips David, that's exactly the way to use a GoPro and get cinematic like footage 🔥. I don't treat it as an action cam and people are always surprised on how good my videos look. But i must admit i am guilty of the last one, i actually forget that it's so small and that you can literally put it almost everywhere and get really unique perspectives with it. My angles are pretty standard, i'll take the note to work on getting more creative angles on my next videos ✌ Cheers!
@@DavidManningvlog It's a great tool to always have with you and it's fun to shoot with, that's why i love it so much 😁My Sony cameras must hate my GoPros, they get much more action😅
Since I follow your channel my gopro stuff is much better. My main struggles continue around lighting and creative camera placement. Your settings videos always offer great information.
Lighting is always the tricky one! In a dream world, there would always be a very thin layer of clouds in the sky and the sun would perpetually be about an hour from sunset🤣
I knew you'd go inside your van. You should have shown the Osmo Action 3 inside your van with the same settings. Good video, of course everything is subjected to expectations and personal creative goals.
Great tips as always. One of the tricks I use when backpacking or hiking, because the terrain is so rough and uneven, is to attach the camera (using a snapmount and a GoPro pole mount) to one of my trekking poles up by the grip, this can be done with a selfie stick as well, then turn the pole upside-down so the camera is on the bottom, then hold the top of the pole, thus "Floating the camera on the bottom. I use this method for low angle shots, but you can raise up your arm and create chest high shots as well. I am not guilty of any of those things because I watch David Manning videos...
I've done that off roading in my 4x4 so you get a sweet shot from almost ground angle at speed. You actually get to see the wheels in motion, etc. Very cool!
Im always learning and i thought i was across most of the settings. However i went underground canyoning in Wales and ran 60 fps and a quick shutter. Footage was useless. Made a video but it was so dark, the processing made so much noise but learned a valuable lesson that day. TBH i think even a big camera would have struggled. It really shows how amazing the human eye is! Fanks David.
Hey David, I make rock hunting videos on beaches. The GoPro is excellent for getting smooth videos of walking. It's also good at keeping the horizon pretty level which is really important on a beach with a built in level in the background. After scanning the horizon, I go in for a shot of a rock I just picked up, but the GoPro is awful at close ups. Is there any camera that is good for self leveling shots and also close ups?
Yeah, the GoPro has about a 12in minimum focusing distance, which means that anything closer than a foot won't be in focus. Have you looked into a Sony ZV-1? That's a killer camera for what you're doing! Not quite as stabilized as the GoPro, but for macro shots of the rocks, it would be awesome!
You’re the man David. Great tips! I’m guilty of several of these. I definitely treat it like it’s light and small. I don’t hold my shots long enough. I use the wrong settings. I’ve gotten lazy with unique angles.
I just realized you’ve never done a full van review/walkthrough video. Would love to see how you and your family use it and what you like/don’t like about it.
Awesome tips david, i have been following all of your gopro tips and recommendations videos and it has helped me start my own youtube channel. Thanks to you i am using all of the right tools for the job of filming quality videos for my audience and with this video i now know what i need to do to use those tools to get best filming techniques to make my gopro footage look as captivating and professional as possible when im filming. Love your work mate keep it coming and ill always watch.
Bro I just watched your video last night on which settings you prefer and usually use for your shots. I tried it this afternoon with great lighting and it came out amazing.. I can’t wait to try them during night time for my night right using my motorcycle. Thanks brother
I just got a GoPro to film powersports and I am guilty of all five. But, in my defense, I was aware somethings were wrong and I could do better. Thanks for the tips.
Great video as always David. Yes I recently realised the 5 second tip when I realised my footage was too jumpy. Also love the idea of thinking of the go pro like a larger camera for panning. So right too about unusual angles you have inspired me. Shame it’s an overcast wet day here in the uk 😂
Good day David, just a quick question about the Snap mount. I purchased these after watching your review video. I have the GoPro 11 and i purchased the handlebar mount from Go pro to mount my camera to my trekking pole for a thru hike next March. The problem I have is I cannot get it to tighten down enough, as I walk it slowly starts to creep down until eventually hanging upside down. Have you run into this problem and if so, how did you fix it? Thank you and congrats on the new baby.
Back to the Rode Videomic Pro? I switched to the Sony EM…R2D2 (whatever it’s called) and tried the Go II but I find myself missing the Pro again. Thoughts?
I'm back on the VideoMicPro+ train. The differences are mostly preference, but I just love the audio coming out of this thing and a the end of the day, ya gotta like what you're making!
Great video as always! I’m most guilty of #5. 1,2and3 I have under control! 4 sometimes gets me. So I’ll watch your video on settings again.😊 I have a couple of questions about mounting it on the outside of you car and driveway 60 mph. Do you have specific settings for this? Also, as a motorcycle rider I have been hit with some nasty stuff flying up from the road. Do you worry about the lens being scratched?
Hahaha! Solid points Ray! I don't have specific settings for outside the car, but as for the rocks kicking up, I always keep an extra lens cover on hand. Back when I used to ride a motorcycle, I had a few lens covers get cracked by rocks. A quick cover switch and you're back at it! You can pick them up on the GoPro site for like $20
Thanks for the tips! Def need to slow things down when panning the shot. Also, need to stop making my hiking videos look less like a FPS video game! Did you use the GoPro for audio? If so, what Mic/Lav were you using?
🙋♂🤦♂Yup. Guilty of all 5 at some point or another... and not just with the GoPro. The drones, my Canon R, the big expensive camera one of my bosses lets me use from time to time. I am always reminding myself of these no matter the camera.
David, those were all really good tips. I use your settings and my video colors look amazing. But they are overheating my camera when I shoot inside the car (with the air on). I am trying no battery and no battery door (have external power). Any suggestions on a fast and good memory card? I've switched over to DiVince Resolve as an editor.
The main cause of heat on these cameras is frame rate. Higher frame rates will heat them up quick, so stay down in the 30fps range to get the longest life out of them👍
Guilty as charged on all counts. In my defence however, a lot of the time it's a case of grabbing footage when I can (often on top of my stills setup) and the situation/priority means it comes second. You don't want to hold on a race car going away from you for five seconds when there are ten more heading towards you!! Taking on board the advice to practice some stuff over the winter before next season starts!
David back in the day you posted a video on the proper way to export videos for TH-cam but now that the new Premier pro 2023 is out do we still wanna go through MEDIA ENCODER? Because it sure does look a whole lot different than from your video back you're video back then are you ever gonna do a new one and updated 1? Just curious
Looking to invest into a GoPro for a family vacation to Disney. Not planing to record while on rides but mainly walking around park and taking fun videos. Would a GoPro be best for that if so what would the best settings for that.
david! it's ya boy Matt Jackson I just got the hero 11! I've always shot in 2.5k with my hero 9's but i'm thinking about jumping ot 4k, 10 bit & high bit rate. Is that going to add a whole bunch of extras size to my files? :(
New to GoPro here. When you put it in weird locations, like the outside of a car. Do you just let it record continuously and then pull over to stop the recording?
What lavalier mic are you using if I might ask? I am using a Boya but the last two videos I've done, the audio messes up for just a second or two after I've been recording a few minutes....sounds like I crawled in to an aluminum can...lol Not sure what causes that, cheap mics? These were like $149 on Amazon. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi David, thx for the tips...and to spot common mistakes we all do/did 😉
I knew you'd go inside your van. You should have shown the Osmo Action 3 inside your van with the same settings. Good video, of course everything is subjected to expectations and personal creative goals.
Excellent tips. I'm very guilty of the fast jerky camera movements.
For sure one of the most common! Because they're so dang small, it's actually harder to move them smoothly
@@DavidManningvlog I 3D printed a rig with a handle that helps a lot.
For me it's mostly not taking long enough shots and then in editing... Well you know how it goes. Thanks for the tips
Gahhhh, that moment in the edit when you realize your clip isn't long enough for the edit you're trying to make! The worst!!!
@@DavidManningvlog absolutely 😭
