Product Information

There are filters that are measured to a fraction of a stop, but, for simplicity, we are using whole numbers here with the exception of a few filters.) Given that the availability and cost of some twist-on ND filters for newer GoPro cameras are comparable to friction-fit filters, twist-on ND filters are probably the best type of ND filter to use with a GoPro. GoPro offers two color options: Normal (aka Standard) and Flat (aka Log). Choose Flat/Log color if you plan to color grade in post-production, otherwise choose Normal/Standard.

When shooting outdoors during the day without flying under trees or in shadows, set ISO Max to 100 for the most consistent image. If you do fly in shadowed areas, you can set the ISO Max higher, such as 400, for added flexibility. If you’re flying in and out of a house, for example, you can even set the ISO Max to 1600 to account for the changing lighting conditions. Sharpness When the camera adjusts exposure, it looks at the entire image and calculates an average value for the current exposure, bringing it up or down to a middle grey value. To weight your dummy, consider using “wheel balance weights,” available in 5g and 10g pieces: https://amzn.to/3GDHCYd. Alternatively, you can use coins, chains, rice, or other weights that fit inside the dummy. I highly recommend using ND filters on your GoPro. They not only improve video quality by introducing the right amount of motion blur but also act as a lens protector in the event of a crash. Generally, to get a “cinematic feel”, we want to use a shutter speed of one over 2x the frame rate. So, with a frame rate of 30fps, we want a shutter speed of 1/60 th of a second. (The shutter is open for exactly half of the time of a frame).Where can you use this? Basically in any photograph with which you want to emphasize movement. Popular subjects include waterfalls, vehicular traffic, people (not usually portraits), seascapes, rivers, streams, clouds, and smoke. 3. Filmmaking: Nailing your Shot Using a GoPro dummy allows you to maintain consistency in your training without risking damage to your actual camera during crashes. In general, camera blur is not desired, but if you work with a tripod or alternative support with an ND filter and a slow shutter, that which is static in the frame stays static and that which moves becomes blurry.

A polarizer can increase contrast in sky saving details in the blue tones. Polarizer Filter effects on sky Give the video a more cinematic and natural look that is similar to how our eyes see while in motion.Use Auto only if not using an ND filter; otherwise, set a fixed shutter speed for a cinematic look.

ND filters are typically tinted glass and are usually sold in sets with various tints to suit a variety of conditions. Increased tint corresponds to a higher ND filter value. However, lowering the shutter speed by a lot can introduce significant motion blur in the footage. The 180-Degree Rule An ND filter can be useful for outdoor portraiture as it will reduce the amount of light getting to the sensor on a bright, sunny day when you have your aperture wide open. Sometimes, the combination of a large aperture and bright sunshine will be so bright that the camera cannot capture a proper exposure—even at its lowest ISO and fastest shutter speed. Using an ND filter in this scenario can allow you to keep your aperture wide open and darken the image enough so that the camera's shutter can handle the amount of incoming light.In street photography, you usually want to have your camera firing at fast shutter speeds. The ND filter can be a creative tool to slow your shutter down for some artistic blurring of street scenes, or, just like I mentioned above, allow you to shoot wide open on bright and sunny days. However, if you’re someone who wants higher customization with more ND/Polarizing filters, I’d recommend the Telesin Filters for you as they feature high transmittance.

ND filters come in various strengths: ND2, ND4, ND8, ND16, ND32, ND64, or even higher. The strength number indicates the amount of light reduction, with a larger number signifying greater reduction.The high sharpness setting in GoPro cameras can be overly intense and unappealing. By setting sharpness to low or medium, you have the flexibility to adjust sharpness in post-production using a video editor to achieve the desired level. Color/Profile YouTube compression can negatively affect your video quality, causing fast motion and detailed elements like grass and leaves to appear pixelated.
