BEST GOPRO HERO 9 (BLACK) SETUP + SETTINGS!! (BEST ACTION CAMERA 2020)
Buy a GoPro HERO 9: bhpho.to/3aoYVNb
Buy a Rode VideoMicro: bhpho.to/2XF79dC
In this video we take an in-depth look at how to setup your GoPro Hero 9 for the best quality video. Yes, this is a long video, but that is because the quality you can get out of your GoPro is directly tied to how well you understand and apply the varies GoPro settings.
We will cover every video setting the GoPro has to offer as well as when each setting is applicable in different shooting situations.
We start off with general preferences, move into the details of frame rates, resolutions, and bitrates, and finish with the best ProTune settings to adjust in different situations.
Overall, we take a complete look at the GoPro Hero 9 and how you can set it up for the best results!
Intro - 00:00
General Preferences - 01:15
Video Settings - 06:12
Framerate and Resolution - 06:58
ProTune Settings - 15:41
Shortcut Buttons - 23:18
Overall, the biggest thing you can do for your video quality out of the GoPro is to ensure you are using the correct Frame Rate and Resolution. The GoPro Hero 9 is capable of shooting 5K video. For non-action footage, this can be a great way to give yourself a little real-estate to punch in or crop in post assuming you are planning on exporting a 4K file.
The problem with 5K is that it can only shoot up to 30fps which is just too slow to really use to capture action footage. Instead, consider using 4K 60fps or 2.7K 120fps depending on how much slow motion you plan on doing!

Thanks for explaining what each setting means and how and when to use it. I got my Gopro9 two days and was a bit lost. This really helped me.

Thank you for posting such a helpful guide for someone like me who is new to GoPro. I've found other videos to be more about promoting the individual rather than dealing with the subject matter.

I LOVE your instructional videos. As a retired teacher of 30 years, I can tell you that you have a calling for this. I respect very much the care and preparation you put into your presentations. You never assume we have previous knowledge and your step by step instructions are excellent. Your generation has a speed of speaking that I find difficult so I just slow you down to .75 speed and it works out just fine for me. Thanks so much for your work!

I know I'm late to the party but this was a fantastic video! I've never used a GoPro before and had no idea what to do with all the settings. I watched several how to videos but they weren't very helpful. Your presentation is excellent, you describe everything very well and most importantly to me, you explain why to use the settings you suggest. Definitely a new subscriber here! Cheers.

At last!! Love it so much . If he continue to publish gopro 9 / max stuff, ill deleate all my ather chanels. So so good
WOW!!!~~~This guy is one of the best person that explains the GoPro settings , thank you
Excellent job of explaining the gopro hero 9 I’ve never had a gopro getting a hero 9 next week so this video will be a big help, thanks heaps 🙏
Thanks for the settings. Also with external audio, the mic adaptor currently doesn't work with the hero 9. An update will be coming in November.
Excellent video with outstanding explanations. I am wondering is you could produce a somewhat modified version that would help older folks like me that are new to the action cam world. I think it would be helpful to see a video that has separate setting provided in short segments. For example, Standard could be setting you recommend for normal home videos, like outdoor birthday parties, walks around town, etc. A screenshot of a typed summary of settings at the end of each segment would be great. A second Action preset could be for what most GoPro users do - live sports like skiing, biking, surfing, etc. A third helpful preset would be for recording Sport Games, like football, soccer, lacrosse, etc. I like to film my son’s football games and would benefit from your recommendations on the settings. A fourth would be Cinematic presets. Gemini Connected is a channel that has a helpful video. Your channel and theirs are both really exceptional. Thank you very much for all the great content.
Thank you for all the info. This totally upped my confidence in experimenting w/my new Hero9. Great video!

Yep! You’ll get better at it the more you use it. I don’t find it frustrating at all anymore.
Good video, although a note to those recording in 4k, make sure your editing software can handle it! Also make sure you have enough storage either on a computer or external drive to store it! Lots of people buy GoPros but still run quite old computers that lag horribly in 4k playback. If your just recording home videos you really don't need 4k, 2.7 or HD will still look great

the best tutoring video for go pro 9. simple and inclusive. Thank You.
In the middle of the tutorial, you said, "This wasn't shot on the GoPro" just as I was thinking, "Man! That's a good studio lighting!" The fact that you were honest about your tutorial meant a great deal to me. i just bought a GoPro Hero 9 to learn to use it for videography and I stumbled upon this video tutorial. Thank you! Speaking as an online tutor, I must say that your passion in tutoring shines. I look forward to learning more from you. Cheers from PA!

Outstanding job. I think you knocked it out of the park.
Thanks for a great video, Forest. Thank YT for recommending it. 😜 Question: If there's too much light coming into the camera due to a low shutter speed, wouldn't it be enough to lower the ISO instead of having to purchase a polarizing filter? You mentioned that lowering the ISO will give a better image quality anyway, so why not utilize this instead of leaving light out by means of a filter? PS. my name is Henk and yes, I really am a TroubleMaker 😄

Great review on the settings. I just picked up a GoPro 9 and this was helpful. I do quite a bit of mountain biking and I've experimenting with different settings. I like 4K as the resolution but not sure on the frame rate. I don't do a lot of slow motion but want a more "real" look as opposed to cinematic. Should I stick the 60fps?
@Lethal_Venom
3 жыл бұрын
Cinematic looking video is best done in 24/30 frames per second. If you are looking to capture fast action type stuff as it looks in real life you would want to use 60 frames or higher to give it a smooth look as apposed to the action being too fast for the frames per second and the video look not coming out very well.

Everything was explained in ways everyone can understand, and at a pace that was comfortable. Suggestions for adding equipment like light filters was appreciated. And formatting the SD card before filming would never have occurred to me. If you're new to GoPro like me, then I highly recommend you watch this
