Brett Barley did you shred yesterday? I was boogin on sea isle hills. Bro the paddle was an arm breaker but it was worth getting pitted and spitted on some 7 -8 ft chunks. I was going to go paddle out at the turns but there were some dudes doing step-offs so I didn’t want to get in the way.
Duuuude. I literally packed my GoPro away years ago because even when I was getting tubes I could never see the roof of it flowing overhead, and I’ve been shooting in 720p this whole time. Your tip on using 4:3 then compressing down to 16:9 got me so hyped to get it back out again. LEGEND!!
i should think this episode should bump you up to 20k subs. you def know your stuff! today's technology seems light years away from the VHS camcorder days.
Thanks so much for all your tutorials! I really appreciate that you don't just target beginners, but you also target people who are a little more advanced surfers. Most tutorials are on the basics. Could you make a tutorial for bailing in heavy barrels?
Bro when I tell u SOOOOO helpful!!! I got super bummed today..trying yet another GoPro mount out in the water and my footage came out TRASH again! I was abt to throw the whole GoPro away!!😂😂 U legit touched upon everything that was giving me grief out there! Thank u!!!!💯💯💯
Hey Brett. Thank you for being selfless in your videos. I have had a GoPro for several years now but only started using it last year for surfing. So many of your pointers have helped me in this video and several others. Lastly, I’ve just started creating some videos for getting in surf shape when not living near the ocean. Any suggestions on how to gain traction? I appreciate you.
This was super helpful. It did not dawn on me that I could attach a leash to the camera for added security. I plan on getting one now before heading out with my new camera!
So, so helpful! Picked up my first GoPro, and really struggling with footage. I don't really care for filming myself (board nose mount), but haven't been able to get POV to work well, so it's what I default to... This video really helped out. One thing I really struggle with is POV making waves look almost flat... 16:9 in 1080 Superview really flattens it out. A head-high wave almost looks like it's knee high. Great tip on adjusting the camera in the water! Thanks!
Just wen I thought u couldn't top the last tutorial!! Well done.. always had problems with the screen ratios. N the angle of the camera. Epic brett epic
its all about if you want to edit your videos or not and if you just want to put them straight to your computer or phone just use the beginner settings. :)
its not even funny how much better my footage just got! Ive been using the pro settings and i didnt even need to put much effort into the colour grading
I started my channel in 2006 when CZcams started. Just posted surf edits when relevant. When I started the vlog in March 2018 with weekly videos... all I’ve done since is document my surf sessions. Which I already did prior to the vlog. I’ve been surfing professionally since 2008 so it’s been a natural transition content wise
I don't believe so... I just mentioned what frame rate you CAN turn it on. I personally don't like the stabilization, as it crops into the image by 10%, so you lose part of the barrel view. the Hypersmooth IS really cool though, but I'll more use that on land than in water.
Nice use of the mirror. Please please please post a mirror image vid of Namibia for us regulators! Haven't seen anyone do it yet, It would be a nice tease. PEACE
Love the videos Brett! I know this is an older one, but still super useful! What would be rad too would be a video on your video editing workflow! What kind of software you use and more advanced editing tips. Keep on keeping on!!
Good tips, I was surprised you did not Wifi connect via mobile so you can easily show the menus. Much easier to settings on Phone app. what about a link to the mouth mounts cant find one with that strap .
Thanks! the links to the products are near the top of the video description... also i showed the menu via the gopro instead of my phone so people could see how to navigate through it all. not everyone is gonna use the app. i know i dont... it saves battery life not having wifi on.
Picked up a combo through your link, hopefully you get credit for it... might want to add the combo mount/leash link if that’s an issue... loving the tutorials especially on surfing techniques. Hopefully I can put them to use soon, bc it has been too long since I have been in the water
Thank you so much Brett. That was super helpfully. I got a question do you use the waterproof housing or just the skeleton mount ? Can you do a tutorial on your solo shoot. keep the videos coming Yee Yee.
Hello, i have an issue with the gopro touch screen and can’t find any answers online. I have the lockscreen on but water droplets or im guessing my chin keep unlocking the screen and switching from video to camera or timelapse. How do i solve this?
Question: from what I can tell, it’s only possible to use the HyperSmooth Stabilisation at 60FPS or lower... have you noticed much of a difference between HyperSmooth and Standard Stabilisation? I’d like to shoot at 120FPS but also like to use HyperSmooth...
you can't hypersmooth anything over 60fps, that's correct. Hypersmooth is SOOO much more stabilized than standard stabilization or no stabilization, it's incredible. BUT, for POV barrel footage, that stabilization crops into the image, and you lose out on parts of the barrel. so you have to be pretty deep for it to look good. I have only shot barrel footage with hyper smooth at kelly slaters wave pool, cause the waves were so long i didn't want to shoot 120fps. but long story short... i'd shoot 120fps for almost everything, and maybe turn on 2.7k/60 Hypersmooth for a wave or two on long heavy barreling days.
sweet vid - gained a new subscriber - married 20 yrs and father of 3 groms who love the ocean (san diego) - just bought a GP7 to start taking footage of them all - question, what's the best post footage software to use for editing?
Not 1000% but 100% I’ve used the Hero 5, 6, & 7 without the underwater housing and the only issue is sand getting stuck in the hinges of the battery door. So you need to make sure it’s clean so it locks all the way.
Excellent video! Just to be clear, when licking the lens, you mean the actual lens on the body correct? Not on a water housing, or screen protector, etc? Thanks!
Back when this video was released there was no 4K/60p option... 2.7k/60p was the highest resolution that still gave you slow motion. You need slow motion in surf clips cause things happen in a matter of seconds, or less. So shooting in any resolution at 24p gives you zero ability to slow moments down. Even still, nowadays 4K/60 isn’t that slow... I’ll normally shoot in whatever the highest resolution the camera offers while still shooting 120 frames per second.
Totally confidant. I used it in double overhead + grinding tubes just as is and never had an issue. Just be sure to rinse with water so the battery/SD card door stays free of debris
Thanks for the tips! Just got GoPro Hero 9 to film my surf and cannot seem to find any information about using it without the protective casing, as the GoPro mount brackets (the attachment part) under the camera do not seem too sturdy for the camera weight. My setup is very similar to yours, no floaty protectice case. Although I know it is the leading action camera company in the world and their products are high quality, but was wondering maybe you would have some reccommendations about that? Thanks!
Love the tips Brett! I use the Gopro Quick app to edit my footage but I can't find where to compress the image from 4:3 to 100:75. What program do you use to edit?
hey, another clear cut tutorial :) much appreciated, often wondered how high i should angle to actually capture the barrel so huge help. I really like the way you pull your frontside rotations, i can get them but consistency is where i struggle and i can only land to reverse. A tutorial or some tips would be amazing. Anyway, keep doing your thing and i'll keep watching :)
Hi again Brett, would you recommend a GoPro Hero8 dive housing for surfing for extra camera protection? ¿Do you go surfing with the GroPro Hero 8 as it is? Thanks so much!

I did not know you can change the settings in the water like that! So clutch!
seriously that was SUCH a game changer to learn for me as well!
Best GoPro how to video ever. @gopro needs to give you a raise!!!
Or sponsor me... I’m not a GoPro athlete, I just love using them.

You're a hero brett. Thanks for the tips dude. Keep shredding 👌
Thanks for the tutorial... makes me appreciate the quality of your videos even more..

Awesome. This was short, concise and on point! Thanks!
Thanks Brett, I’ll try tomorrow for the first time
Brett Barley is the man! I just posted my first two POV videos using this info. Thank you Brett🙏

This helped a lot. How about a video on editing. What software/settings/etc to get best clarity when posting to CZcams/Instagram.
This was super helpful. It did not dawn on me that I could attach a leash to the camera for added security. I plan on getting one now before heading out with my new camera!
Fantastic summary
Brett great video for my Gopro.
I watched so many videos and this was the most intuitive for surfing and kitesurfing. Thanks again

Excellent video! Thanks a bunch man. Wishing you tons of more view. Killer tubes too!
Great video, just wish we had more sunshine in the winter in the UK as the gopro is awful in lowlight
Sick vibe Brett, thanks for the in depth share.
Thanks heaps. Planning to get a new GoPro before my Java trip in July. Hoping to nail some footage then.
Thanks Brett. Really appreciate your advice. When u going to do some, “How to...” vids again? They’re the best!
Thanks for the tips. Gonna try it tomorrow.

This is awesome.... thanks Brett. Love watching your edits!
Thank you so much bro... Awesome settings
Awesome video, very helpful. Was skeptical about getting the go pro but now seeing that mount and your suggestions I’m in... thank you!
HI, I'm French and I don't really understand, which setting is best for surfing? Beginner? intermediate or advanced?
its all about if you want to edit your videos or not and if you just want to put them straight to your computer or phone just use the beginner settings. :)
Nailed it again Brett. Epic vid
Dude Amazing vidéo thanks for all this importants GoPro triks & tips

stoked to have you along!
Perfect video just what I needed to know!!
Thank you

Didn't know I needed to watch this, thanks legend!

Thank you Sir! Can you tell me if it’s really 1000 % waterproof from all your experience? Thank you.
Not 1000% but 100%
I’ve used the Hero 5, 6, & 7 without the underwater housing and the only issue is sand getting stuck in the hinges of the battery door. So you need to make sure it’s clean so it locks all the way.

Excellent video!
Just to be clear, when licking the lens, you mean the actual lens on the body correct? Not on a water housing, or screen protector, etc? Thanks!
Oh my, no. Haha. Definitely mean licking the lens of the water housing.
@@brettbarley Ah, that clarifies a lot haha thank you!
Most helpful for this hack. #LensLicker
Thanks Mate! Was there any reason ‘stabilisation’ is off on the advanced settings?
stabilization crops into the shot... so you miss out on part of the barrel.
Can you or someone explain why you don't use 4k setting for surf but fishing you do?
Back when this video was released there was no 4K/60p option... 2.7k/60p was the highest resolution that still gave you slow motion.

Even still, nowadays 4K/60 isn’t that slow... I’ll normally shoot in whatever the highest resolution the camera offers while still shooting 120 frames per second.
Hi, just bought a black 7, do you need an extra waterproof housing? Or are you totally confident in all wave sizes it'll be fine?
Cheers great vid
