Thanks for the review ! Helpful. We need to do a better job on audio for POV. Sent this to our audio engineers :) One thing that's helpful is in the GoPro app you can "unwarp" hyperview to either a superwide linear or regular undistorted wide if you're an app user (soon for desktop app too!), or in premiere use FX Reframe to unwarp Hyperview and copy over your max settings to get something similar. That's what I'll be doing with my POV content. I should make a tutorial !
Thanks Abe! We could all benefit from a tutorial from you 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I was super impressed with max hyperview and definitely need to mess around with the fx reframe more on those clips. Thanks for all you do 🙏🏽
The MAX was ahead of its time, the video is so good. I have an Insta360 as well, but the MAX’s smaller size means it is still my go to. Crazy for a 4+ year old action camera!
first time really doing a video like this and it was fun! wasn't a totally perfect comparison as I don't have a true side-by-side rig, but hopefully this provided some insight on the different FOVs you can get with some of the main wide angle modes! would be happy to try and answer any other Q's this video might have sparked. so much more info regarding all of this stuff - coulda been a 1hr video!
@@thatmarcusallen I am pretty sure he uses Adobe Premiere Pro, it's one of the only editing softwares that allows plugins to rotate the GoPro max footage!
@bobdowd3211 hey bob. i use GoPro Player to render out the 360 files to a usable .mp4 format. then, i bring everything into adobe premiere pro and use the "fx reframe" plugin for adobe premiere to do all of my reframing that i was doing at the end of the video. so, to answer your question - when i was rotating the video in premiere, i was using a plugin that was built for the gopro max and adobe premire. hope this made sense.
Mammoth opens today. Waiting in line right now. Sucks I had to wait 3 months and 4 days to ski again and feel the STOKE. Decent terrain open for opening day. A long run from the top of Face Lift, down Saddle Bowl to Broadway.
Have been waiting for a while for a video like this to come out on Lucas channel!! very stoked, especially sense you are one of the people that’s been able to grasp all the small features each go pro has to offer, making it much easier for the public to choose exactly what they need!!! Now waiting for Lucas to ski the horse again!
I like the 12 purely for the sense of speed. I also think for my use case as a more casual user that wants as little post processing work as possible it’s the best option. Thanks for the comparison 👍🏻
Currently rocking a Hero 10 and making it work, but for my money, that Hero 12 + MLM 2.0 + ability to use an ND is looking awesome! I think you and Abe are somewhat of an army of two when it comes to the stuff you guys make with a Max. The other max footage I've seen is nowhere near to being on par, and the Insta360 x3 is probably a better camera tbh. Really enjoyed this video and the insights, I might grab a H12 bundle over Black Friday :D
Yessir honestly the 12 is a huge upgrade compared to the 10. And the MLM2.0 just introduces tons of other benefits that almost gives you a mini max haha And I appreciate that! Abe leveled up my MAX game and I really love what I can get out of it now! Thanks bro
Great video man. As a production minded snowboarder who’s always struggled with making GoPro content look good I really enjoy the behind the scenes. Camera settings, color grading, editing, etc. kind of niche but would love to see more.
Absolutely loved this style video, so insightful to see different FOV back to back like that! Thank you😁🙏🏻 also crazy to see how big of a difference the ND filter makes
A pro as always Lucas! Great review man, I have a 10 and the POV for social media is just not that great. I have been waiting for the max 2 - Nick Woodman said ‘it’s worth the wait’ so it’s possible it drops this winter.
You gave me much needed help in trying to narrow down my choice. Please give me your input on which one to choose from. I run a car club and we travel through the mountains but no one films our cruises. These things aren't cheap, so I want to make the best choice from the start. We do day trips only and they last about 2 hours max. I'd like to be able to film the cars in front of me and behind me simultaneously(if possible). It would be great if there was an outside mount that could rotate but that might be wishful thinking. I just don't know what to do but I've narrowed all of it to these 2 choices you presented. Please give me you thoughts!
Very very interesting, thanks ! I own both the Max and the 12 with Max 2.0, and I’m too surprised by the quality of the « old » GopPro Max. It’s colors are way better than the Insta 360, that I find ugly (cyan skies, greens rendering..)
Awesome breakdown!! I'll be sure to try out all these different settings on the slopes this season. Can't wait to get back out on the ice! You're the man!
This was awesome. I really want to see a full video on your editing workflow!! I have a Hero 11 but wish I would have gone for the Max. Now I hate to buy one because it seems like GoPro will be updating next year sometime. Have you ever tried the chest mount instead of helmet? I like being able to look down and see 100% for sure that it is recording and doing what I think it is.
Thanks Dan! I should do an editing video it just seems like it would be so long haha. The max 2 is definitely gonna be a beast so just up to you but I think the max is still great. I’ve never tried the chest mount but I am always taking my camera off my helmet before each run to ensure it’s set properly. I take a lot of time to film haha
Trouble I have with a chest mount is that my hands are so prominent in the shot. I’ve had a few days with chest mount where I’m disappointed by footage since the hands are so distracting!
My gopro max is giving me a hard time recording video.When im recording after few min. the screen will turn black and and continuesly recording the audio only.And the footage will play for a min.until the screen shut off and pause but with audio until the time you notice it.
Is it just me or did him putting on the ND32 filter to the Hero 12+ drastically cut down the wind noise? Anyone else notice that? Or am I just loosing my mind? Most likely the latter! 👊🏼
Such a helpful video. I’ve been planning to get the 12 and was debating about the mod upgrade lens. Your video was so perfectly timed since I had not pulled the trigger on buying it yet and will do it this weekend. GoPro should send you some commissions :)
It's very important to make videos like this. Loved it! I have a question if I want to make videos for myself and my family what gopro should I buy? Hyped for tomorrows video!
Great Stuff. Was considering getting a camera for our ski trips but was worried about helmet mount vs other mounting options. I am not doing extreme stuff like you but I am tall and when in trees I tend to hit lower branches so thought mounting on chest would be better. Would be cool to see the difference view from different mounts.
Very interesting video. I feel like with the 360 camera could make up for a lot of my poor camera work. I also like the idea that I could make 2 separate videos of my kids on the same run.
Love this content Lucas! May have missed this, but did you have horizon lock on for your hero 12 + MLM? Was just reading that stability may be worse with horizon lock on. I have had it on so far and no issue
Hiya, Love your videos like always. I have a question about the app that you're using for the gopro; what's the name of it and where can i install it? cheeers KL
Great vid especially cause I’m highly considering getting my first GoPro. Seems like if I’m just using for recreational use I should get the regular GoPro. But do u think it’s worth it to spend a bit more money for the 12 or just opt for the 11?
Its too bad you cant get the ND filter on top of the max lens mod because the FOV really is miles better. I have a hero 7 that i barely use at this point just cuz its so annoying trying to get a good angle, half the time i do a run the frame is completely off. It does ok with rhe chin mount on my full face mtb helmet but 360 cameras really are a step above when mounted on top
Question about the GoPro Max setting: How can you have 5.3k resolution and HYPERSMOTH ON? Cant find hypersmoth when Im not in "Hero Mode". Would be really happy if someone tell me how to turn on Hypersmoth with high resolution (5.3K)
Am I alone in thinking the new hero12 shots looked blurry? I’m casting to my 65” tv and it just looks a bit off to me compared to all previous episodes.
@@LucasCatania17 i dont know if blurry is the right term, but like digitized instead of real, something just a little bit off. i watched another skier posted video of this alien cam he was using, and he looked like a video game character to me, not a real person. that was the feeling i had watching the hero12 footage. just my 2 cents. love the channel, watch daily, counting down the days til my colorado and tahoe trips this winter.
Hey Lucas. I would like to ask you, why you choose on the "hyperview GoPro 12" frame rate 24 and not higher? You used the best resolution with the less frame rate. I used today your settings on my GoPro 12. At the beginning i thought i messed up but later on my pc i was happy about results. Please let me know. Thanks!
I personally really loved the hyperview + nd but it sucks that it doesn't control the exposure so the footage in the shade isn't the best. Is there anyway to get that similar, immersive footage using the gopro max? (I don't really know how it would be possible but I'm planning on buying an action camera for this upcoming season)
You could still have the exposure controlled if you set the shutter to auto and increased the iso max to something like 400! Locking the shutter at a specific speed like I did there will make it so I am guaranteed the correct motion blur, but if you still wanted the auto control that the GoPro gives - you could slap the ND filter on and leave the shutter at auto!
Hey Lucas, I shoot (nothing like you) with a Hero 12. Would it be better for me to film in super view vs hyper to minimize the distortion or is the wider image worth the hyper distortion? Great vid as always!!
Great review thanks! I wanna buy a GoPro for my bf this Christmas but I’m still unsure with what I would go with and I wanna buy it this week since there are really good discounts. I like the 360 videos but the resolution is way better with hero 11. And there’s the hero 12 too. He would probably take videos on his snowmobile and on his motocross. We go skiing and snowboarding once in a while too and it’s the first time he’s gonna be using a GoPro. He doesn’t really like editing either so I’m probably gonna be the one doing it but I’m a beginner. What would you recommend I buy?
@@LucasCatania17that was my thought exactly when I was reading her comment. I was thinking the her 11 or the 12, but since they are new to action cameras I’d personally lean more towards the 11 if I were them. Either way though, the 11 or 12 would be perfect for her and her boyfriend. That being said, if I’m being really honest, if she could find a place that sells them, I would even recommend a hero 9 or 10. Those are insanely good cameras with almost all the same features as the newest GoPro models (the 11, 12, and Max). You could probably get a Hero 9 for super duper cheap and then use that extra money you saved to buy some accessories. Because we all know that you can’t dive into the world of GoPro and action sports cameras without becoming a accessory addict! LOL I’m joking, but not really! Haha. No but for real, I’d do a hero 9 and then take that left over few hundred bucks and buy a decent sized 512 GB microSD card or maybe a few smaller ones (instead of one bigger one), buy an extra battery or two (because I guarantee you’ll end up needing more than one battery), and then buy a few different handles and/or mounts. Trust me, if this is her boyfriends first action camera, all the items I just mentioned are all things you guys will end up buying anyway. I think a lot of people go into buying GoPros and action sports cameras thinking they can just buy the camera and they’re good to go. Lots of people don’t realize you need to buy a storage card, a pole or handle, etc. I guess what I’m saying is maybe if someone had a tighter budget, who was also brand new to world of action sports camera, going with a hero 9 or 10 and then buying some accessories…. Is the way to go. I dunno 🤷🏻♂️, though. I’m just a random dude on the internet voicing his thoughts! 👊🏼👊🏼
@TheCureThatKillz anything below a hero 10 is a major upgrade to the 11 and 12 in my opinion. The 8:7 resolution and hyperview mode that you get with the 11 and 12 is a game changer especially for skiing.
The max lens mod on the hero 10 won’t be as wide as something like hyperview that I showed in the video, but definitely your best option for the hero 10!
For sure but hero10 is fine for me, I don't want to spend money on hero 12. For me POV shots are most important, thats why I asked about max lens. Do u think in my case it’s worth to wait for gopro max 2.0?
@@LucasCatania17 oh ok that’s good lol I was gonna say! if they were yelling at yall then they shoulda put someone further up cuz they weren’t visible enough.
@@LucasCatania17 I thought the same thing, and I'm wondering if it darkened it up enough to bring in the motion blur like you can with the ND filter... Have you ever manually set the shutter speed for it?
