Thumbs up for GoPro!

Your GoPro footage looks far better then some of the others that I've seen. Have you done any type of colour adjustments with the footage with some editing software?

Thanks for the AF speed tips! I want your 70-200mm lens!

@mikeschmeee no, came right out of the go pro pretty much

What ISO and f stop do you usually use for sports/wildlife

im looking at using this setup for an event im going to, instead of mucking around with settings, just keep it on M and preset these into the camera, so i can just snap like crazy and sort the photos out later. i wont want to get creative till postproduction or lightroom work :)

[QQQQcon]

@apprec8ive depends on the light and the depth of field I want, in general you will want speed so a larger f/stop and semi high iso is best.

@KTPhotographyNvideo work hard and you can accomplish a lot even at a young age. Dont be thinking I am getting stuff like this from my parents, I dont even live at home anymore.

@gajetjoe 19, my photography profits pay for my gear or else I could afford this stuff.

THANNKKKKKK YOOOOOUUUU SOOO MUCH my lens would always be blurry because of moving people in sports...... its sooo much faster :)

Solid advice. Canon has some other options from Nikon. My 7D has some different options but if people are getting into this stuff they should be able to figure it out.

Thank you so much for the great AF tips. Keep up the great work.

Good Video, but not for me :) maybe I am gonna need 5-10 years to get such a por. lens :(

@QQQQcon Wow! It's still amazing quality. The colours are just right! Maybe its the lighting. It seems like the GoPro is designed for high noon conditions although in the SLR world you want to use during those golden hour times. Maybe that's my issue with my GoPro footage. But I'm probably wrong on all of this. anyways. Awesome videos! Can't wait to see more.
