HERO7 Black Low light [ New ]

[danielr15]

Took my HERO7 Black to the beach last night for some sunset shooting at the beach. I think it turned out pretty good. Amazing stabilization and performance.

Very nice, like it.

Best part, I did absolutely no editing. Got home and opened the GoPro app and told it to get new media from camera. Woke up this morning and this is the video that was automatically created. Love QuikStory and really love this HERO7 Black.

Awwesome footage.   GoPro shows  its true colors:  Was your shots During Golden hour    Do you remember your settings you used, or just let the camera do its  job. again thumbs up and  excellent job

[danielr15]

It was during the last half hour of sunset, and it was overcast, so we didn't quite get the benefit of golden hour.
4K/60fps
Protune ON
ISO MIN 100
ISO MAX 800
Sharpness Medium
Color Flat
Everything else Auto

As it got later I did some shots hand held running along side the horses. I wanted the stabilization without the blur/Warp so:
4K/30fps
Shutter locked 1/240
ISO MIN & MAX 800
WB 5000K
Sharpness Medium
Color Flat

This is all off of one camera and created automatically with the GoPro QuikStory. We actually used four different cameras for a promotional video for the horse riding services on the beach. I have a ton of footage to go through and properly edit. Love the simplicity of Quik and GoPro HERO7. Zero effort and quality video.

thanks @danielr15  snapped shot  the   protunes you used and will  keep that in mind when I am out on that  surise and sunset days .

Here is an edit that I created. Considering the first video took no effort, as it was auto created by the GoPro app and Quik Story, I'm not sure if mine is much better (if at all). 😉

Low light, panning shots and excellent footage - are you sure you used a GoPro

Just goes to show what can be achieved when you learn how the camera works and how the settings interact with each other - well done.

Four cameras eh?  Ever been tempted to walk into a room full of vloggers and shout GoPro Turn Off?

LOL, actually my kid's love to mess with me (even the two year old) by seeing if they can control the cameras with voice commands. Funny, but also kinds annoying when I've forgotten I've turned the feature off and I'm the one yelling at the camera, "GoPro, start recording!" I swear it was one of the youngest first words.

About the video, thanks, and yes, understanding the camera is key. Perhaps most important is a willingness to try and rest different combinations of Protune in different environments and done settings that work best for you.

Correction to the settings I gave earlier. Apparently I did not switch to 30fps when the sun set. Looking at the video files, everything was shot in 4K/60fps. Shutter was locked to 1/240 and ISO MIN & MAX 800 with WB 5000K, Sharpness Medium, and Color Flat.
