moshe_levy Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 All- So in an effort to improve my vids, I purchased a Go Pro Hero 4 Silver. I noticed that I have a great deal of control over the resolution, frame rate, ISO, etc. Can anyone tell me what a good "general purpose" setting is for motorcycle use? For example, say I want to film myself rdiing through driving rain? Is 1080p 30fps a decent "general purpose" setting? -MKL Link to comment
Sonor Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I am watching and waiting to learn on this thread. I have had very similar questions so bring it on!! Link to comment
TEWKS Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 A pretty good tutorial of the settings here. Pat Link to comment

Unless you want to make professional movie, you will find that 1080p is plenty. You definitely can't see higher than that for YouTube video. The big plus is that 1080p files are quite a lot smaller than the higher resolution files! Link to comment
Brooks Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 1080p is a good resolution and 720p is usable but if you can use 60 fps instead of 30fps your on bike video will be a lot smoother. Here's a recent video filmed at 1080p and 60fps using a GoPro Sessions camera. Be sure to click on 1080p when viewing. Link to comment
moshe_levy Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 That looks great, Brooks! Was the Go Pro mounted to your helmet? How did you do it? Forgive the newbie questions..... -MKL Link to comment
moshe_levy Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Also - Brooks - was this the "Wide," or "Medium" view? The cam give me 1080 with Wide, medium, or narrow up to 50fps. Or "1080 Superview" which is wide-only @ 60fps. -MKL Link to comment
Brooks Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Thanks, Moshe. The Gopro was mounted on the chin of my helmet and with the "wide" view. This fellow has a good video on how to mount a Gopro to your helmet He has a second video with some changes to his Gopro mounting Link to comment
TEWKS Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Brooks, I'm assuming Vimeo does not degrade the quality of your vids like YouTube does? Your video looks great! Pat Link to comment
Brooks Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Thanks, Pat. I've had trouble in the past with YouTube changing the resolution when I upload videos. Probably my fault in the uploading process. Vimeo doesn't seem to have that issue. Link to comment
