How To Shoot Video With GoPro Hero 9 Using ND Filters

Video Leave a comment

ND filters are essential for creating professional-looking videos. ‘Why?’ you ask? The video settings of the GoPro are simply too limited for always achieving the best possible exposure for the lighting conditions one’s in. Especially shooting in bright daylight can be a challenge.

In this video I go over my cinematic video setting for the GoPro Hero 9 and how to use ND filters to get the best possible results – professional looking video.

Ultimate Timelapse Tutorial for GoPro HERO 9 Black

Video Leave a comment

Creating time-lapse video is super fun! A sequence of single images are being combined to a video that shows your scene change dramatically over time. This could be the movement of clouds, stars, or even the day turn to night.

In this video, I am going over the settings for creating a professional-looking time-lapse video with the GoPro Hero 9. Here are some shooting intervals to get you started:

1 second
Moving traffic
Fast-moving clouds
Drivelapses

1- 3 seconds
Sunsets and sunrises
Slower moving clouds
Crowds

15 – 30 seconds
Moving shadows
Sun or moon across sky
Stars (15 – 60 seconds)

1 – 3 minutes
Growing plants
Construction sights

Once you are done shooting your image sequence, follow the steps as outlined in the following tutorial to create your final video clip.

Just in case you are still not happy and would like to give your video a dramatic, processed look, check out the LUTs and Instagram presets in my shop.

BEST Low Light Settings for the GoPro Hero 9 Black

Video Leave a comment

GoPros aren’t renowned for their low light capabilities, however with the right settings, the results can be pleasing. In this GoPro low light tutorial, I go over all relevant settings, like shutter speed, ISO, and picture profiles. I explain what they mean and how to use them.

For the very best results you want to keep your ISO as low as possible, use a low framerate and low shutter speed. The settings that I usually use are:

  • Resolution/FPS: 4K/24p
  • Lens: Wide
  • Hypersmooth: On
  • Bit Rate: High
  • Shutter: 1/48
  • White Balance: Manual (3200k-4000k)
  • ISO Min: 100
  • ISO Max: 800
  • Sharpness: Low
  • Color: Flat

Shoot video at night with the GoPro like a pro!
