How to set up your GoPro properly to get the best quality footage
Nobody could have imagined, 15 years ago when GoPro launched their first 35mm film camera, what they would today become. While there are many great action cameras out there, the GoPro still remains the most popular. But it’s not going to give you the best settings right out of the box.
This video from Filmora as part of their Travel Series delves into the GoPro’s ProTune settings. Filmmaker Justin Brunelle explains how to get the most out of GoPro’s dynamic range by using flat profiles with ProTune. We also see how to get consistency from shot to shot by using the manual exposure controls.
Essential items and accessories you need to pack on your next travel shoot
Deciding what gear to pack when you’re travelling to shoot photos of videos is often tricky. Different destinations and plans can require different items. You’re not going to need crampons, for example, if you’re going into the desert. But you might, if you planned to explore the Scottish Highlands in winter. There are some things, though, that are very useful regardless of where you’re going or what you’re shooting.

Not all of it’s related to photography or video, either. Some of it’s for general safety that you might not even have considered.
