How can you get rid of the jello effect and other artifacts when filming with the GoPro Hero cameras and a RC multicopter? In this video I teach you how I do it. Check out my website for more info.

My name's Tom Antos and I make videos. I am a film director and cinematographer with over 12 years experience in VFX & animation. Jak sie masz?! I'm originally from Poland ;) Check out my channel here: / polcan99
Glad I can inspire. Also thanks for buying my products... without this support I wouldn't be able to put out free tutorials.
I love how all of your videos describe all of the relevant technical detail in a simple and brief manner, along with your great demonstrations. Thanks again!
Tom, I appreciate the work you have done in sharing information about filmmaking. I am what you call a real beginner (drone pilot, cameraman, producer) and the learning curve is steep. Thank you, this is what I need to determine if I want to pursue a career path and take college courses. Your tutorials are essential to my success! Hope I can follow in your footsteps.
It's funny how we would never normally shoot outdoors without ND or matte box/hood, yet we take shocking liberties with GoPros and expect amazing results! Thanks for a great tutorial, and for reminding me that the same rules apply regardless of what type of camera you happen to be using.
Dude you are the man, your tutorials are so fun to watch, I don't even have a GoPro camera or most of your equipment but I really enjoy the tutorials, great job keep it up
I just got my Zenmuse Gimbal for my Phantom installed today. This video is a big help with some areas that I still had questions like Wide Angle, Motion Blur and completely resolving jello. I haven't flown my with the new gimbal but at least I know how an NV filter can help and I won't solely depend on the results of the gimbal alone. So I feel more confident. That's for explaining exactly what causes the problem and how to resolve it complete. I think it's important to mention the gimbal tho.
when it comes to film Tom Antos is just priceless!!
*mindblown* never even thought about this.. that the vibrations is cause due to the high shutterspeeds AND THAN the mindblown ND-filter solution - awesome "tutorial" Tom - thanks for sharing!! :)
Thank you Tom. I wish I came across this video years ago. I shot so many videos with lines and vibrations that I could not use. I never realised it was because it was too bright.
Mighty Man Tom, all the best
This is the most helpful video I've seen on this topic. Awesome DIY and great background/explanatory information. Great work and thanks!
Thanks so much for this video, Tom! I've been researching many of these issues for the past few days, so your timing was perfect!
Hello Tom,
you made me really happy, i was searching for a solution for this problem for a long time, many thanks from Germany.

Very helpful, Thank you sir! I think I have a whole new outlook now. This is such a great minor fix to a major problem.
I always come away from your videos a little bit smarter. Thanks!
please talk more about gopro on quad captor. seting up, connection. etc...
great show!!!
Tom, you have awesome tips! Both on this video and others! Really helpful for when I eventually pick a Phantom up for aerial filming. Thanks for a great post...subbed and added to favorites :)
I like the idea with the shade, but for filter I would use some proper polarized filter. This ND foil often it's quite smooth and could cause some optical distortions.
A 50mm Canon F1.8 and the Canon 70-200mm zoom F2.8
Those would be my choice for 2 must have lenses.
Just check out my website or the links in the description to buy the helicopter or the gimbal and everything else.
Thanks for making this video! I have about 40 flights under my belt and never experienced the banding/jello on my P2 with GoPro Hero 3 Black and H32D Gimbal, but I guess I never shot in today's lighting conditions either. Very informative and thanks again!
jello mainly comes with the 3D gimbal....
Right. I was speaking more to the banding but recently upgraded to 3d also. No jello so far at all thankfully. Mine came with anti interference board and I'm actually testing today in the same light conditions that gave me the banding before. Hoping for good results!
the board is only to help keep your fpv feed clean thats it...you will get jello with no nd on a bright day...
very informative!, i was wondering what those lines in my shots were, i thought it was interference with power lines or something but it it is the shadow from the props! good to know! thanks!
Damn, you can't even imagine how much you help us! Thank you very much! You're the man! :-)
Nice tut! Are you planning on releasing a DVD on how to build one?
So your filming in GPS mode? Also flying/ learning to fly without GPS in ATTI mode helps to capture better footage. I have had some really bad experiences with Phantom in GPS mode. 1. If during the flight the amount of satellites decreases under 6, Phantom will automatically go from GPS to ATTI mode... That may cause a lot of trouble. 2. If your flying close powerlines, large metallic structures (buildings etc.) be ready for Phantom getting Craaaazzyyy with capital C.
genius thanks tom :) i will give you credit when i win my academy award !!!
Hello Tom
thanks for the hints!
Pretty cool and simple ideas. Definetely quite useful!
Cheers
great video, very informative.
i did a flight today, nice sunny day, I have a go pro hero 3+ black, fitted to dji phantom 2 with a zenmuse h3-3d gimbal, shooting at 720p/100fps and still get lines and jello. couldn't understand why, because i though the gimbal dampens everything (and it clearly doesn't...)
will try the ND filter
thanks for the tip
Wow, fantastic solutions!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this ! Very informative and nice tips. Appreciate you sharing !
You should make this into a product! Like a kickstarter or something :)
Awesome as always Tom, thank you.
Fantastic video Tom.
Tom, do you have any thoughts on the DJI Phantom 2 "Vision"? Looks to be FPV out of the box. Any thoughts?
Your video inspired me to buy a DJI Phantom 2. *thumbs up*
It might... try it and let me know
one thing you didn't say was what resolution and framerate you use
This was an awesome video. I learned a lot. I am really curious about your controller though too. Do you have a monitor hooked up to that? If not, what is the shade for that seems to be attached to the controller?
Tom I have a question. Have you not experience the problems with the gopro like others on the forums have? Battery drain, update problems, stop recording, etc...
Excellent video, very informative.
Thanks Tom.
Great! I also found that polar or nd filter minimize jello effect.
BUT!
At the same time the video will be soft, not so sharp than before.
I don't speak about motion blur while moving (this is normal, and i like it),
i speak a general sharpness reduction even when hovering with my copter.
Do you notice something similar?
Thank you for this video, very very informative
I already did that :)
Very nice video.... Great advice.. Thanks
Great tips, thank you very much.
What settings was the footage shot in with the ND filter?
Awsome information, thank you
Awesome! (:
Can we still purchase the videos you made on how to make the modifications on the dji phantom and what we can buy?
great video!
very helpful. thank u so much!!
nice vid,.. now if I cud find enof change in the sofa for the quad and the gopro
Hey Tom,
How were you monitoring the quadcopter? I see you had a monitor along with the remote.
Good info here Tom, thanks.
I would think you should use wrattan ND filters meant for camera lenses rather than ND gels designed for studio lighting or window tint. I think you'll find that the wrattan ND filters are much more optically pure and give a more accurate color balance. Only problem is that they seem to cost around a hundred dollars each these days. Maybe better to buy from one of the companies selling them ready to slip on the lens.
Great video!!!!!
thanks for the tips!
Doesn't footage shot with ND gel suffer from IR pollution? Basically with glass ND filters, visible light is heavily reduced, but IR rays hit the sensor like without filters (so, increased exposure time due to the visible light reduction, brings up the unwanted red/magenta dominant in the shadows)... It seems like the gel ND suffers even more of this problem. :(
nice tips i will try thanks
great video sir!
Tom, do you know of another cam that will be great, but without the Gopro cost?
Why does all the footage with the ND look more purple? Is it easily corrected in post?
I have the zenmuse h3-3d gimbal....do i need to counter balance the weight of the filter so i won't burn up my motors? someone else suggested putting a coin on the back using velcro.
just take off the clamp and bolts that hold the gopro in... it weighs about the same.... unless you crash hard the gopro will stay in....
i can't cut circle's:)Thank you for your video and time.
how can you have a preview image of the gopro? and how much range did you have?
Hi, do you guys think it will work on the phantom 3 camera?
why did you bought nd6 and nd12, can't you put 2 layers of nd6 to make a nd12 ? does each layer of nd gel softens a bit more you image so 1 layer is acceptably soft but 2 or more layers gets too soft ? thanks.
thanks for sharing- have you noticed any difference in forward flying speeds with the added drag from the lens cover?
Yes, because quadcopters are so aerodynamic,,,,, of course you won't notice...lol
Maybe once I'm done working on all my films. I'm working on 3 films at once now :-0
Very clever!
good info. thanks
Great info..! Thanks for sharing.
very helpful!
can you make a full video showing how to build thks
Would car tint work the same way for the ND filter!
CZcams Question: Can anyone explains me whenever I upload a video with a copyrighted song, I always get flagged and I'm unable to post the video for several months. Does anyone else have the same issue?
I want this setup, where to find the heli?
I've tried this mod- and with each cut out ND filter gel circle I place into my lens protector the gopro 3 video image gets darker and darker yet I thought the gopro was supposed to automaticaly slow the shutter speed down in 'lower light' and therefore keep the image at the same level of 'brightness' even with the ND filter 'shades' in place (the clips with teh ND filter/s in place in teh video aren't darker than those without them)..? Do I need to change a setting in my gopro 3 camera to ensure it automatically changes the shutter speed or otherwise what do you think is going on? Thank you for anyone's feedback
That's exactly how its supposed to work. Put the nd filter n camera will automatically slow down exposure so u have more motion blur/less artifacts but yet the video is just as bright as before.
I found the frame rate didn't stop jello for me - you may be talking about the prop shadowing.
Well thats what i said frame rate didnt change it. The nd seems good idea.
Why didnt you use your green DJI?
Thank you Great
i mean how to set up the helicopter with the camera
Does changing the frame rate help at all? For instance changing from 60fps to 30fps? Thanks!
its a micro vibration that matches with a hight shutter speed the gopro sets in bright light...might go away a 60....but shooting in 2.7 24p is so nice!!!!
So. Hmmm. I guess no iso adjust on Gopro?
What gimbal you are using?
Where can i buy this helicopter?
The Tarot GoPro Hero 3 gimbal
Nope :(
it works but the video quality goes down alot !
too bad the nd destroyed the quality.
no it does not...actually makes it look better... gives you motion blur....when the sunsets or its cloudy you dont need the nd....
Great DIY video, but I agree that the ND lessens quality a bit. Just buy proper ND filter
Bill the Butcher yes it does - it kills sharpness and contrast
like to get one for myself
interesting
John Stressed - your name speaks for itself.... get over it and be thankful fer christs sake.
Thank you!! The video is so helpful.
great info great job.thank you!
