1 use screen protector with the front camera 2 hypersthoom high is enough,better not go to boost level. 3 wide is good option 4 choose hight for bit rate 5 leave white balance with auto 6 set shutter auto is best choice 7 max iso better set 400,at night set higher. miss point is welcome .

Native white balance is a flat profile, it gives you the most flexibility if you plan to edit your videos in post

@ramezbishara6400 4 года назад

Similar to S-Log on DSLR's..? Would it be fair to try it side-by-side with that kind of footage from my Sony set up?

@frisisir 4 года назад

@@ramezbishara6400 it's basically shooting raw. It retains the most amount of information in your capture. You would only shoot raw or native if you plan on color grading. A great comparison would be to take a native and one of the presets.... Then try color grading the 2 shots. You will see much more flexibility in the native.

@BladeRunner-td8be 3 года назад

@@frisisir Just ordered my GoPro8 so have been watching videos about it. This is interesting because I was just about to write the same thing you wrote, sort of. It had to do with RAW setting and how it was used for editing which I learned before I even purchased this camera. So now I learned from you that color grading is the only - or maybe the main reason to use RAW or Native. Side note: Years ago I took a photography course while in college and sort of remember a few terms used in this video. Thanks for your helpful comment. And if the creator of this video reads this I want to thank him also. I took copious notes about every tip shared. Cheers, John Noe

I really like your video. My son has a Hero 7 black and was impressed with the quality of the video we made of an issue with a drone. So, I bought a GoPro not knowing anything more than it was a GoPro. It turns out it is a Hero 8 Black. After I got it, he came over and we discovered that there is a difference. I have started investigating my GoPro, and your video is very informative. I'm watching it for the second time, and will be watching it again. Thanks for the info.

CAMERA BUTTER SELLS LENSES FOR THE GOPRO 8

@geekinthegarden3927 4 года назад

Great tips, thanks. Native White Balance makes the least amount of correction to the colour of te image leaving it basically as it comes off the sensor without processing. If used with Flat colour profile it gives the most latitude if you want to colour correct/colour grade in post production. I often use it especially at night when, for example, the camera may want to add more blue to compensate for the yellow/orange of sodium street lights. This then means that signs and lights that are blue can get over saturated and out of gamult. By using Flat and Native the camera doesn't fiddle with the colours at all and grading in post is a bit easier. Using a cheap credit card sized colour chart at the beginning of a shot also helps getting the colour right.

@alex-from-germany 3 года назад

I upgraded from H4 to H8 about a year ago and one of my favorite things is the GoPro cloud along with the automatic footage upload. For a starter the auto upload saves a lot of time because when you get home, arrive in the hotel room or whatever, you plugin your GoPro so it's charging and the upload begin soon enough. You can even allow GoPro to delete uploaded footage. At your laptop or computer you can use Quik (legacy software but still available I think) to watch the footage and download it. Cool thing, each day has it's own folder. Basically the only thing I am missing is an extension for Adobe Premiere Pro, so I can access the cloud directly. Basically like Adobe Stock but for GoPro. Not to mention that when having lots of footage it's way cheaper than a regular cloud such as Apple or Google. The Web view is pretty neat as well which has been improved recently. One can filter by month and sort by create date for example.

@jessicaclapper2164 4 года назад

Super great video! Just ordered it and it should arrive tomorrow so getting some background on what to change right away for settings and the best options! I have the GoPro 7 which I was/am happy with. I use mine mostly outside on out farm and with livestock. Also my Australian cattle dog wears it when we are training or for other fun things so can’t wait to try it. I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing those presets that you have added for quick change in videoing.

@ChuckieDreyfus 4 года назад

Quick question... Since the Hero 8 media mod (with directional mic) isn't out yet, what is the best audio setting to use to maximize and improve sound of the Hero 8's internal mic when vlogging? I noticed that turning off WIND setting enables the mic to work in stereo. But that isn't too optimal when you want to talk in front of the camera since it captures a lot of noise all around, plus the audio of your voice doesn't sound too front and center (audio sounds kinda spacey). Will enabling "wind" change audio to mono? Or at least use the front mic only?

@iancraig 4 года назад

Native is only really for those who want to do their own colour grading. It is almost like ‘raw’ and has most latitude for stretching colour. I directly compared Native with 5500k in sunlight and they come out ‘similar’. Native has a little more red though. For many, especially in sunlight, if you try shooting in Native and in post, boost the contrast until blacks and whites are ok and then big boost to saturation. This gives a great picture. After that, if you’re up to it, tweak the white balance and you can get a really excellent picture in comparison to GoPro colours.

@carlodefilippi6914 4 года назад

Sorry for asking: when setting in slow motion mode does it says it will create an HEVC file? I ask because I love extreme slow motion videos that my hero 7 black can do (1080/240) but many video editor can’t handle those hevc files. Great tips anyway 👍

@wjohnson100 4 года назад

To protect my lense I got the protective case. I do a lot of underwater video so I needed it anyway. It makes underwater video so much better. Sometimes air bubbles can get into the microphones which muffles the sound underwater and pretty much ruins any chance of good audio. The protective case prevents that completely, with the added benefit of protecting the lense just like with the older GOPROs.

@aquasurfer9 4 года назад

I just bought the DJI Action. I like the screen on the front that shows what is being shot when doing a selfie. It also has memory for different settings. Looks like the 8 has a much better interface than the 7 that I tried for hours to setup and try to figure out what pot the software designers were smoking when they built that menu (non menu) structure. Looks like they had somebody come in that reworked the logic in the menu system. Sorry but having written menus and user interfaces since the late 70's for me to take more than 5 minutes to figure out the OS is not a positive feature. Great video.

@matthiasmuller5173 4 года назад

V Anand Pillai He told the tips. Limit ISO Max to 400. Perhaps change clolour to Flat because you get a little more details. GoPro is better the better the light is. Lowlight is nearly horrible. Hypersmooth does not function. So use a gimbal. The 8 is better than the 7, when you are recording against light. Use low FPS settings of possible.

@DynamixWarePro 3 года назад

I got a Hero 8 after not having a GoPro since the Hero4. I wanted it as it has 50/60fps in 4K over the Hero 9 which has an oversharpened look to the 4K and 5K is only 25/30fps which I noticed can make panning shots look a bit jerky but not with 50/60fps. Good tips. Native WB is for colour grading/correcting but unless you are using the GoPro as a B camera and need to match footage with another camera, I just stick to kelvin and hold up a white balance card at the start of shooting so I can easily correct the white balance in editing. One other thing I have done is to turn down the exposure to -0.5 as having it on 0 tends to blow out highlights too easily. I agree with turning down the max ISO. I also set the sharpness to medium as high is way oversharpened for my liking and low is a bit soft.

@zoubtube 4 года назад

Keep your 7. Don't waste your money. From what I can tell so far besides hypersmooth high setting which seems to only work well with lots of light most of the other features have limited use cases. Also, whoever okayed the door latch design and memory card slot position, should be fired. Same goes for the decision maker for the removal of the replaceable lens. Not sure how many people have fog issues but I primarily use these cameras scuba diving in cold water and ski/snowboarding. I never had an issue

Also would have like to have been able to use the Hero Black 5 camera bracket/case which cannot be used on the HB8, no screen protector, and can't be used in underwater case bought for the HB5.. Design flaw, or just something to make you buy more specialized accessories for the HB8.

Hey, I really enjoy your reviews. Have used the Sony FDR X3000 since it came out, but tired of not seeing what I'm recording. Just purchased the Hero 8 and concerned about battery life. Fully charged and then playing around with the settings for 15 mins (no recording) it has already lost over 20% of the battery. Does this seem right to You? The camera is also pretty warm which surprises me given that it hasn't been recording anything.

@j.s.3414 4 года назад

Out of the box pretty much all setting are turned on which drains battery quickly...but even after tweaking, it'll get about 70-80min of video on a full charge. Not alot, but it's a very small form factor with a TON of software running in the background.

@andrescruz9448 4 года назад

Native just means there is no white balance correction being applied to the footage so are getting the native color balance of the sensor. This is intended for people that color grade their footage and usually shoot in the flat color profile as well so they can correct the white balance and color exactly how they want it. Auto white balance is often regarded as the worst white balance setting for video because it will often change gradually throughout the clip so it's a nightmare or even impossible to get all your colors to match when you edit and color grade the final video because every scene goes from cool to warm, warm to cool, etc....
