The Absolute BEST GoPro Settings for FPV 

Pro tip: Some pilots also like to film their videos at a higher framerate, but post the video at exactly HALF of that framerate (Ex. Film at 60fps, but post in 30fps). This can allow you to have less motion blur while maintaining a more "cinematic" framerate. Try it out!

Man, I got into FPV probably about 4 months ago, and I feel like every time I've had an issue or a question, you've released a video explaining it so well. I literally got my GoPro 10 yesterday and boom. Love the content, and love the no BS and concise way you explain things. Thanks from random follower.

i dont have a fpv drone or gopro but the thumbnail made me want to watch the video

Holy cow, this couldn’t have been better timing. I just got a GoPro 10 a couple days ago for FPV and was thinking about looking up this exact question on RU-vid. Thank you Matt!!

Super helpful thank you!

Another banger! Locking your iso to 100-100 is the single biggest thing you can do to make your footage look better.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video Matt! I've been doing film work for a long time and still love a well-made how to video to sharpen up my skills as technology advances. I was recently watching gimbal God, he has videos about snowboarding that I have also been applying to my fpv. He suggests to 4 times the shutter speed when using hypersmooth. All love and 🙏 thanks again.

Hey man, love your videos. You helped start my journey in cinematic fpv, please keep the content coming

Another great video, glad that you explain it in the easy way!

This is a super informative video for my gopro thanks I’m a big fan of your channel 🤩.

Amazing as always bro 👏

Awesome tips, thank you😊🤙🏻

Hey man. Great video as always - a great insight into settings I've steered clear of changing for fear of messing things up! I have a question relating to the exposure setting and choosing the right ND filter. I'm familiar with the exposure triangle from my photography days, but how do you choose which ND filter to use? In a DSLR you'll have a measure of exposure to work from before you take the shot, so do you take some test footage pre flight to see which is best or do you have any rule of thumb you work from?

Yes. Absolutely and totally approved. I might have to watch this again. Thanks Matt

Omg I have been waiting for this video, I felt it coming and I was right. Thank you so much!

Hey Matt! This is always a great place to spend some time. And you are right, I will have to watch this a few more times!

Thanks Matt!

Although this is something I already know, it was nice to see it from your perspective and I like your explanation. I feel like the hardest part is not the shots or even flying, but learning how to edit to the full potential of the video. Keep them tips coming.

Thanks man, much appreciated!

what a fantastic video. thank you Matt!

The video I needed. Thank you

Good stuff as allways man love the high tier content

Thank you for the informative tips settings matt love your videos ❤

I got my hero 10 yesterday and couldn’t find a video on this love your videos!

You are the number one Matt! Nobody explains like you. Maybe you just missed talking about other gopro models like 9, 8 or even 7, but I think your informations are useful for these models too! Thank you!

Amazing guide

Długo czegoś takiego szukałem. Dzięki!

Thx for these presets man 👌🏼

Thanks guy! You create realllly good content for us beginners.

Dude deserves more subscribers. What a well detailed video. Thanks man

Killer job on this. I've watched alot of videos but this one I can understand. Thanks

Nice video and thanks again

Very helpful! Thanks!

Amazing video. I already knew everything about cams. Thanks for the Skip note.

Hi Matt!, Love your channel! Lots of really useful stuff you´ve giving us here! Kudos to you! Ive just got one question, regarding the low sharpening option on the GoPro; Why have it at low, whe you need to sharpen (And then I assume also lengthen your rendertime in post), when you can have it sharpened to begin with. What am I missing here? Thanks in advance!

Great video!

Been a lurker on your channel for a while, but I liked and subscribed after this video. Thanks for your hard work!

You are a very good youtuber. You have the craft of pacing, communication, keeping attention etc. That's its own skill, and you've got it.

Thanks for the settings at the beginning

This is EXACTLY what I needed. I’m a total noob when it comes to cameras and drones and this makes me understand my GoPro a lot better. Thank you

This is the video I have been waiting for! Thank you for the insight. It would also be awesome to see a short video of you in post adjusting a videos image quality to your liking (color grading, sharpening, etc.)

Great video! I’ve been following you for a while and bought the cinelog 25 with the naked hero 8! Question: I started flying cinematic where I fly indoor/outdoor in the same shot. Problem is that the image is underexposed once I get indoors. (ie flying through a door or window) in this case would you keep the shutter to auto?

I literally subscribed solely based on the the respect I have for you just posting your settings at the beginning. Still watched the whole video. Thanks you sir.

Matt...agree with most of your settings (nicely done!). Always enjoy seeing what settings others are using. Regarding seeing what 'frame-rate' some filmed at (4:51) folks just need to be aware that it also depends on the GEAR ICON set in the lower right hand corner of the RU-vid video. If your not selecting the highest option available then you could be looking looking at a lower video resolution. Frame-rates look correct but video resolution may be off. Not sure what your using for editing but worth mentioning (as I ran into this myself the other week). If shooting in 5K/30fps, then give PROXIES a try (if using Adobe Premiere Pro). Had zero issues using PROXY files for my 5K edits. Premiere makes this so easy now in 2022. Again, nicely done and explained!

Thanks for this. Flying my first gig tomorrow chasing a brand new street bike for my local power sports shop! Going to be using this info!

Your videos are so usefull and straight forward. Thanks! One question: why do u use Reelsteady if the GoPro 9/10 support built in stabilizations? It makes it an extra proces..

Well explained! What do you think of gryoflow? Can gryflow match ReelSteadyGo for the stabilisation?

Well explained :)

Great Video!! What are your thoughts about the gopro 11 vs 10

Thanks 👍👍

I watched your video to not break your average view only because your intro and because you respect time of your viewer Thank you so much. lots of love and respect.

Great video

Great vid

Nice job 👍

Thanks so much this is my second season and I just bought a gopro hero 9! FYI I apologize in advance I'm kinda a groupie I bought basically all the quads you have because I value your opion so much! Just finished my johnny fpv rig but I used tmotor pacer v3 1950kv and a dji mamba f722 mk2 55amp stack! Having these settings for the gopro has helped me so much along with this video to understand the gopro and help me to capture the best quality videos!!! Sorry for the long winded comment but....your awesome and do so much for our community and I want to thank you very much! Happy flying and have a wonderful week 😊

What i want, in 15 Seconds video information. Best settings video ever !!!

Matt, i cant thank you enough for putting out this particular video, it means a lot

My man dropped the sales pitch in the first 3 seconds 😱… now I have to watch out of respect, you got me. Well done.

Great Video! Another helpful GoPro Tip is shoot with Native color balance. GoPros limit colors to achieve color temps so "Native" lets all the color and light the sensor is receiving be recorded. It helps with low light grain and color accuracy. Note it will make red look more orange but there are LUTS to fix it.

thank you so much.. I got it 😉🤙🏼

Hey! thanks for videos like this, they are very helpful! maybe could be good to add that if you shot in 4:3 linear you wont be able to process it on reelsteady, you should put it on 16:9 from the start.

Awesome video! If you had the gopro 11 back when you shot the hotels, what would you set the gopro 11 with?

Great video, Thank you, What is the best GoPro Angle for FPV to recording. 45??

Any tips and tricks ima open book iv watched you from your first you got really good and your video and flying is gotten good 👍

Haha great intro! I didn't watch the video because I use similar settings. But just love how you make your videos!

What do you think of shooting in 8:7 5K and cropping it in post production?

What do you think of the eachine novice 4 Fpv drone bundle? Is it good or bad for a newbie

@Matt Pochwat thanks for the video. Do you know if the ss can go below the fps on auto? Because you cannot set the ss lower than the fps in manual mode, so I dont know what the gopro is doing on auto. Can it set it lower than the fps?

Hello, will 25fps filmed at 180 bit rate at 4k shuttle speed 1/160. Will these settings stop blur? Best regards

showed the settings in the first five settings, what a real gangsta

I am into all this…. Using Hero8. I have been experimenting with some pro mist filters. Excellent video for all levels. There is a PM variable ND and mist available have yet to try that but it could be good!!!

Great video man. I have my first paid gig coming up trying to get my gopro game straight

Im planning on using Gyroflow. Should I therefor enable hypersmooth or not?

Tks alot 🙏🏾

7:24 - Very interesting bookshelf! Did Amazon Books put you up to this!?! :-) - Very eclectic collection. I feel like my own bookshelf needs updating...

For white balance and colour do you use grey card, and colour checker?

nice vid men

Can you use GyroFlow with Go Pro and does it matter if you have Hypersmooth on or off?

What spec computer would you recommend for no limits with editing?

Which GP 10 mount are you using with Polar pro ?

Great video. Now we need something on how to adjust things in post processing for amateurs.

Ok but do you shoot in 30fps and edit on a 24frame timeline or do you edit in the timeline of what you shot it at?

Ive been into fpv for a lot longer than you and yet I keep ending up here learning stuff. lol Great video!

Nice one but when i use 30 FPS and 1/40 Shutter with ND filter iam getting too much motion blur?

dude grew like crazy

Dam bro most people won’t understand how long that video must’ve taken to make. So much valuable information packed in here 🙌🏻

How is it going?. Matt, that's fantastic recording,:)

May I ask why everytime I upload whatever I captured from my GoPro to my Computer there is a separate audio!? The video itself has audio already and I think its taking up space on my Gopro storage space.

What about the 11 mini ??

Great vid. Subd

When you using slow MO?

What do u think, Low or Med sharpening? I mean more sharpness is great for Instagram

@Matt Pochwat Did you ever experience some microvibrations for Gopro 4k Footage after stabilizing it with reelsteady ? You recommend to you for instance 4K, 30FPS and Shutter 1/60 - With double Frame rate I have always issues when flying slowly or having low light conditions. I tryed to use 4K, 30 FPS and 1/120 Shutter so using the frame rate 4x -> That made it a bit better but still not 100 fixed. Any recommendations?

Great info, now you need to do a post editing video. :)

lol just saw you were at the monkeyvault parkour center! awesome :)

How hard can it be for gopro to allow customizing profile names? Unless I fly daily, there's no way i can tell distinction between few profiles without checking settings.

can I use shutter speed on auto ? and ev not auto?

For Hero 8, 4k 30fps 4:3 or 2.7k 60fps 4:3?

Hey, do you need to shoot 4:3 if you want to use gyroflow or just use standard 4k for example?

Is it cold in Canada?
