Yeah, my Freewell ND Filters do not fit any of my [4 ]Ace Pro cameras? I am afraid I am going to break the camera to get it to lock in! I bought two sets through Insta 360 and one set of 4 filters works while the other set of 4 filters, does not work!
I recommend making sure your shutter speed is not any slower than 1/240. If the shutter speed is faster than 1/240 you shouldn’t have any jitter or ghosting.
Well that sucks! So an ND filter + 60fps is not recommended unless we turn off stabilization and use a gimbal when using less than 1/240? What's the point of using a small camera only to make it bigger/heavier with a gimbal? What about if I'm not moving while filming, can I use anything slower than 1/240?
If your camera is stationary then yes, you can use as slow of a shutter speed as you want and have the stabilization off since that isn’t needed when you’re not moving. The jitter and ghosting will only happen with movement and the shutter speed being too slow.
hi mate! i came little bite late but i have a question for u... How important is have the active HDR off or on when im using ND filters? im using my camera mainly for motovlogging, i deeply appreciate sharing your knowledge for us. Peace and have nice weekend!
As a videographer I really appreciate this review! by far the most informative. May I ask? If I want to motovlog whilst riding on a superbike, what are the best FPS/Sutter speed settings to get smooth stabilised footage? I want that cinematic motion blur. But how can I get this with the shutter speed so high in order to get the stabliser :(? Can the go pro 12 do 24 FPS with 50 Shutter? and good stabilised footage?
I've been making videos with the gopro hero 7 black for few years now and I was wondering ever since why was that jitter and ghosting was happening, didn't even know what to call it. I was shooting with 60fps and 1/120 shutter speed, mostly with an ND8 filter. I started filming with these settings from the beginning so I didn't have any comparison actually, I just thought this is how it films... Thank you for your informative video!! Now I gotta figure out how to get the best image for motovlogging...
whats the longest timelapse shutter speed allowed? also, with a power supply connected, how long have you shot for? I'm wanting to do an 8 hour timelapse during the day this friday and needing to know if it'll do ok out in the heat. Thanks
Yes, I like to do all night star trails and night lapses. About 8-12 hours total depending upon time of year. I use a power bank to my power my camera all night.
i´ve got a question: Rollercoasters often have lights below the trains and can therefore create cool trials when you take pictures of them in the night with a low shutter speed. However the surrounding makes it hard to take pictures with a low shutterspeed because these get way too bright if exposed too long. Would these filters help creating such pictures?
@@GreatDayForAHike So then a mechanical gimbal is needed right? Because digital stabilization in Ace Pro becomes poor? And that does not buy ND filters :)
Love it! What would be a good setting for Timelapse at night in a city setting? Specifically, I want to capture light streaks of passing vehicles. And would you still recommend ND in that shooting environment? Love your videos on the Ace Pro! Enjoying this camera a lot!
A static ISO of about 400 and a shutter speed of about 2 seconds should be what you’d want to aim for with vehicle light streaks. I’d recommend keying in the ISO of 400 and shutter speed of 2S first and then do a quick test to see if the exposure is right. If it is overexposed using an ND filter will enable you to get to that 2S with proper exposure. Whether or not you’ll need it will largely depend on how dark it is outside of the vehicle lights in the rest of your scene. Have fun!
@@GreatDayForAHike brother thank you so much! Thank you for your quick response and your awesome advice! I love your channel. You’re my go-to when it comes to tutorials!
I have a gopro and i shoot most of my video in 4k or 5k but when i transfer my footage from gopro to my computer how to i convert the video from hevc to mp4 or h264 so i ca edit it any guide?
Great question. So, as long as you have the HEVC codec installed on your computer (if you’re using Windows), you don’t have to convert the footage first in order to edit it. The HEVC codec is a 99 cent one-time cost from the Windows store. If you do still want to convert it and don’t want to edit the clips as they are you could use a free software title such as Handbrake. However, one of the issues with converting is there can be some quality loss or compression before you get to edit the native clip and this can further reduce the quality of your finished product. So I recommend keeping that in mind.
Excellent - purchasing the Insta360 today for a trip next week. One question on the filter pack - can I rotate the CPL even through it's square - if no, then is it any good? Thanks.
Great question. It doesn’t technically rotate in the sense of turning a dial but the filter can be popped off and replaced at any of the four 90 degree angles over the lens cover.
@MartinHarvey Yes, with most CPL filters there is typically a difference in placement but this one looks the same no matter how I place it and I don’t see any specific instructions that say it must be placed a certain way for the CPL effect.
@@GreatDayForAHike HI, it is only fit one side of my Acepro there are spaces between the camera lens and the ND filter. I don't know how it fit like it does in yours video. Thank you
Yeah, my Freewell ND Filters do not fit any of my [4 ]Ace Pro cameras? I am afraid I am going to break the camera to get it to lock in! I bought two sets through Insta 360 and the all are actually too large to lock into place! If I angle it over the lense before trying to lock into place, it does not snap into place... If I squarely insert it over the llense it is to big and does not lock!????
@@zed3dez123 I had the same problem. I bought one set that worked... I ended up buying two more Ace Pros and another set of Freewell ND filters for the 2 New Ace Pros I bought through Insta 360. Sane set of filters, but the new case of ND Filters did not secure to the lense?! Defective! How could that be?
