GoPro settings, tips and accessories for windsurfing
Hi
Just got my first GoPro today, Hero 7 Black with some accessories (super suit case, Flymount mast mount, helmet front mount and Ion helmet, floaty, 2*128gb memory cards, secondary battery and charger, screen protectors) , mainly for recording my windsurfing progress. Assuming many use it or will use it, i believe this topic will help advanced users and starters like me.
Settings:
I checked some youtube videos about settings but there are different suggestions for watersports. Would love to hear some windsurf specific suggestions (especially protune part) for starters like me who has no idea about editing. Feel free to give advanced tips for others as well :)
Accessories:
Hero 7 black is waterproof for 10m, but i worried about scratchs due to salt and sand so got the super suit. Then i learned it makes the sound very bad. Can't decide to use it or not, which mic setting to use if i use it?
Planning to use it as helmet cam for most of the time, but olso got a boom/mast mount to be able to see my faults. Hope floaty won't be a problem. Any suggestions where/how to mount?
Some tips I learned by watching videos:
- 4k/60 doesn't have hypersmooth even though it says it has, its a bug.
- Shutter should be double the fps. But then you can't chose EV comp which is brightness i guess (?).
- Its best to keep white balance at native and color at flat if you are into editing colors
- High sharpness is too high for most, medium is better for action videos.
- 1440p (2.7k) has more vertical pixels, so better if you want to see what your feet are doing (not sure about that since it says 16:9 for all?)
Cheers
