YES!! Choosing "Linear" in FOV options instead of Medium will get you an even less fisheye look (that's why GoPro made that option) but I prefer medium for some reason.. It's like a happy middle ground ha. DEF should have mentioned this in the video tho my b :) Play around with it and see what you like best!! ✨
I was searching the web no lie last week looking for a good video on best settings for the hero 5 and bam my girl sara posts a video that gives the best straight forward answer 3 days later. Appreciate it. Knucks!
Get tips Sarah! I shoot a lot in 30fps so I can conform to 24fps, that subtle slowing often works really well in POV action shots for me. If it's not action stuff I will then almost always use 24fps like you said.
That's also great news about the improved battery life! That's my biggest struggle when shooting with gopros, especially when out in the water or something like that. Good to hear you're getting almost a day out of your Hero5.
Should use in 60fps so that you have the option of slow mo if needed in post. Doesn't have any effect because your sequence in post is set to 24 or 30 or whatever it's set to anyways
We just got one and I'm so excited to use it. We are headed to Mexico in two days for a month and will be using this go pro and the DJI Mavic. Its going to be EPIC!!
Hey Sara, if you press the power button and the top button at the same time (just hold them together) then you can change your settings using the buttons and front display screen. Just toggle through the settings. I just learned this myself.
Hum, little problem, this doesn't work on my HERO5 Black :/ am I doing something wrong?! I know that I can switch between the different modes using the "mode" button, or is it this that you mean?
Great video Sara ! I have been wondering about this a lot since I film mostly with the GoPro! This will help me a ton! Keep up the AWESOME work! Big fan!
This was super helpful! I've had a GoPro Hero 4 since last summer, and I was finding that I wasn't using nearly as often as I thought. But with these tips I can definitely find more use for the GoPro now that I know I can make it look more filmic. thanks fam 👌
I just got a go pro 5. and your interview helped so dam much I can’t believe it. Don’t stop doing wat your doing!!! Your great at it and easy to listen to!! Thank you!!
Sara,I love your videos and thanks for the review. If you didn't know you can navigate the menus by holding down both buttons and manipulating the setting via the touchscreen only
i just realized that ever since Casey quit, you've been my new dose of inspiration lol. I now check for Sara Dietchy videos daily and I really dig them. Thanks again for the informational video chick!
Gary Gallardo why did casey neistat quit youtube? did he become to famous or did his wife just get tired of his shit or did he just wanna be a full time dad?
Just bought a 5 black.. thanks for all your help. I am a fan of lower refresh rates/ fps like u... so i just adjusted accordingly and also I set to "medium" FOV. Thank you.
That was helpful! Thanks! What software do you edit videos with and also how do you color correct? Sorry if you've already done that in a video before!
PRO TIP: hold the side mode button and click the shutter button and it will get you back into the old school menu! A LOT easier to navigate while it is wet.
Thanks for posting the video. Learned alot. One question for you. For your underwater video, did you use a filter on your go pro? if so, which one was it?
Had not been here in a while Cx glad to see you're still making awesome vids ! also im sure someone else mentioned it in the comments but there's a way to use the buttons instead of touch screen,I think you have to press mode and on button at the same thing or something of the sort .. anyway keep up the good work :D
Nice info! I have a cheap SJcam instead, but thinking of upgrading soon to bump up the action video quality in the travel vlogs! Have you ever tried sony's action cams?
Great video Sara. Could you do a video on how to match color grades with two cameras. I have the GoPro 5 and I always have a hard time getting the color matched up with main camera. Any tips?
You can change settings without touching the screen. Just press the MODE button and RECORD button at the same time and hold it. you'll see a menu at the front of the camera where the little screen is.
yesss!!! you answered all of my original questions (thank you) but now I have two more. what editing program do you use for your gopro footage and what camera do you vlog with 🤔
Hi Sarah! I have the gopro 3 black. what I love is that I can change the battery for a new one. does the 5 comes with that option? thank you from Chile!
Very knowledgeable young lady. I was quite impressed. I am a fairly experienced still camera photographer, but new to video. Got my Hero 5 Black two weeks ago. Thanks for the helpful tips. Keep up the good work!
Heey Sara, Loved your videos! I do have some clarification related with HERO 5. 1. How is the battery time? After how many hours - I would need to change the batteries? 2. I'm from Mongolia, it reaches - 35 degree outside. You Go Pro hero 5 can work in that environment?
I don't know if people say this enough to you, but it's really awesome having you in the filmmaking game, sara. I know in a perfect world it wouldn't matter, but it is still pretty awesome seeing a super film savvy lady killing it...thanks for doing what you do and being all inspiring and stuff :)
Hi sara, so what do you use for post, and can you give me some guidelines to follow on choosing the right settings pertaining to frame rate, 1080, wide, narrow, ect. Ive got a 3+ silver BTW. Edit: lol next video up....but id still like to hear your take :)
I'm still using the GoPro Hero4 Silver. I'm waiting for the Hero 7 lol and hoping they make the screen a little bigger. A bigger sensor would be nice too.
YES!! Choosing "Linear" in FOV options instead of Medium will get you an even less fisheye look (that's why GoPro made that option) but I prefer medium for some reason..

Sara Dietschy So medium, implies middle ground, Haha. Sorry for the poor humour.
Sara Dietschy you don't need to use the rear screen, hold down both buttons and all your settings can be changed via the front screen!
Sara Dietschy hope that helps^
Thanks! I am about to start a youtube channel and I am about to buy this gopro so this advice were perfect.
I was searching the web no lie last week looking for a good video on best settings for the hero 5 and bam my girl sara posts a video that gives the best straight forward answer 3 days later. Appreciate it. Knucks!
I LOVE how you explain things for someone like me who isn’t super camera savvy. 🙏🏼
Get tips Sarah! I shoot a lot in 30fps so I can conform to 24fps, that subtle slowing often works really well in POV action shots for me. If it's not action stuff I will then almost always use 24fps like you said.
That's also great news about the improved battery life! That's my biggest struggle when shooting with gopros, especially when out in the water or something like that. Good to hear you're getting almost a day out of your Hero5.
Leftcoast Media House wow that's actually an awesome suggestion 👍🏽
Leftcoast Media House - i actually found the exact opposite - I get much shorter battery life than with my Hero 4 silver
Should use in 60fps so that you have the option of slow mo if needed in post. Doesn't have any effect because your sequence in post is set to 24 or 30 or whatever it's set to anyways
shoutoutJT i do the same.. always 60fps just in case I want to do a slow mo but anything I don't put in slomo i change to 24 fps
We just got one and I'm so excited to use it. We are headed to Mexico in two days for a month and will be using this go pro and the DJI Mavic. Its going to be EPIC!!
Hey Sara, if you press the power button and the top button at the same time (just hold them together) then you can change your settings using the buttons and front display screen. Just toggle through the settings. I just learned this myself.
dude just learned this from you guys --- HECK YEAHHH FAMM thanks for the protips :)
Sara Dietschy Are you telling me I just taught the "to be" vlogger of the year something? LOL! Dang, made my day! keep killin it!!
Hum, little problem, this doesn't work on my HERO5 Black :/ am I doing something wrong?! I know that I can switch between the different modes using the "mode" button, or is it this that you mean?
You may have to update to the latest firmware.. First try pushing the mode button, and while holding it in also press the top button.
Thank you very much! It works now, it was a short press :p
Great video Sara ! I have been wondering about this a lot since I film mostly with the GoPro! This will help me a ton! Keep up the AWESOME work! Big fan!

Gary Gallardo why did casey neistat quit youtube? did he become to famous or did his wife just get tired of his shit or did he just wanna be a full time dad?
Casey didn't quit UA-cam. He stopped making a daily vlog for a while and now he's back with *almost* daily vlogs.
Thanks for the info Sara. I'm thinking of getting the hero 5 after your review.
This is so helpful! Thanks for the amazing content

Too hyped IMHO. She wears me out.
Appreciate the tips Sara

Wow what good timing. I'm about to buy one of these for my EF College Break trip to Australia!
Hi Sara what editing tool are you using for edting your pics and videos? Thanks! 😀
What's the best app for edit my videos from go pro 5 black?
Thanks
Are you able to change it to medium on your GoPro hero 3?
Hi Sarah! I have the gopro 3 black. what I love is that I can change the battery for a new one. does the 5 comes with that option? thank you from Chile!
Great Info Sara. Thanks!
hey Sara dietschy whats the music at the start of this video I can't find it anywhere
GoPro is the best! We love using them for our footage
Is the go pro camera good for doing my make up tutorials and fashion for UA-cam? Because I’m thinking about purchasing one .
Wow this helped! thank you so much!
Very knowledgeable young lady. I was quite impressed. I am a fairly experienced still camera photographer, but new to video. Got my Hero 5 Black two weeks ago. Thanks for the helpful tips. Keep up the good work!
Great video Sara!
sara .. which program(s)do you suggest to do post work on?
Dang, never been this early on a Dietschy vid : )
Thanks for the tips!!
I bought the 4 when csotco had it on sale, do you think these tips would apply similarly?
Why do you prefer medium field of view over linear?
they don't
Paul Tkachenko linear is Not full screen at least when I use it
Hey Sara do you know if those features to make you gopro footage look like a normal camera only on the hero 5
the audio from my GoPro Hero 5 sounds awful.. a lot of static noise in the background. How is your audio so good in the Belize vlog?
what is your favorite post editing software for the gopro?
I have bought a couple 4's does that have good lighting of is the 5 better. I shoot mostly with my go pro
Heey Sara,
Loved your videos!
I do have some clarification related with HERO 5.
1. How is the battery time? After how many hours - I would need to change the batteries?
2. I'm from Mongolia, it reaches - 35 degree outside. You Go Pro hero 5 can work in that environment?
are these features ideal for vlogging in rooms or just outside?
I don't know if people say this enough to you, but it's really awesome having you in the filmmaking game, sara. I know in a perfect world it wouldn't matter, but it is still pretty awesome seeing a super film savvy lady killing it...thanks for doing what you do and being all inspiring and stuff :)
Hey did you know about the apps for the GoPro? Also, if you press the mode button you change it to video, photo, etc.
Sara, does the 4K have the fish eye look since it only has the wide pov?
Which intermediate codec do you use to edit the GoPro mp4s in?
awesome video thanks for the help!!
new fav youtuber ❤️
Do you have any presets that you use to grade your footage?
Hi, nice video, tanks for all this information.
i like your fangs. Thanks for the info!
hi, thanks for those tips. 👍🏽
But i have a question, can the hero5 shoot 4k without that fisheye look?
That little edit work on the running cheetah was cool
Hi sara, so what do you use for post, and can you give me some guidelines to follow on choosing the right settings pertaining to frame rate, 1080, wide, narrow, ect. Ive got a 3+ silver BTW. Edit: lol next video up....but id still like to hear your take :)
Just have bought Hero 5 Black! Thnx for the review...
Great tips!
I'm still using the GoPro Hero4 Silver. I'm waiting for the Hero 7 lol and hoping they make the screen a little bigger. A bigger sensor would be nice too.
