Sunny Sheep

This shows why a gimbal is highly desirable for a gopro!
Attaching to the bike is even worse - fixing on your head somehow is smoother.
This is just handheld, you think you are holding it still but the bike jiggles too much.

However with appropriate music you can almost 'use' the movement for a pop video feel. I think slowing some sequences right down like where the dog is alongside could be rather good.
 

Esk Valley market day run

This is coming back from Ruswarp after taking some sheep.
There's still half a dozen of last years lambs left!
Spent a surprisingly long time playing around with levels and white balance on this, at first it seemed decidedly 'red' but once uploaded it looks a bit green in parts to me?

Also there are times when too much sky is in frame which  made the exposure too dark e.g. looking down the railway line near start.
In Premiere you can tweak the levels just like photoshop but it then needs to be keyed into adjacent parts needing different treatment.

After spending about an hour editing then two hours rendering then 3 hours uploading, Youtube decided to stick at 95% processed for three hours.
I eventually uploaded it (another three hours) again and it went straight on. The first upload never did complete so deleted it

I'm not sure it was worth it but all good learning curve.

Westerdale wild daffodils

The Farndale daffodils are rightly famous, however they are commonplace alongside most of the North York Moors becks and rivers.
Hero 4 handheld,  Mostly 60fps slowed 50%

Exchanged Hero4 Black

I bought a GoPro Hero4 Black, in February - and have been mighty impressed with the video.
The stills are good too even taken as a screengrab later.
I'm still not quite decided if it's best to record everything flat and process later or let the camera do the processing.

When I do the grading it seems to look sepia tinted to me - but on auto things look too saturated and skies very cyan.
Like all previous cameras it will take a while to wok out what's best.
This has not been helped by the wifi being very temperamental from new so after a couple of weeks arranged to exchange it.

You kind of need wifi + the app, as in the interest of battery life and tiny size it doesn't have a screen other than a small front LCD which is mainly to show what mode it's in.
You can go into sub-menus on that but it's really hard to see and not backlit.
Replacement has only been here a few days so kind of starting over again and very busy just now with lambing and poor weather.

First one is with original cam that went back - still not 100% happy with this especially first part.
Do like the trees but wish I looked up!
From replacement last Sunday. And finally a screengrab still from 1080p video.
It can record at 4K which would given even better stills but the 4K files are huge and it runs very hot if in the case! I can cope with 4K from the Phantom 3 but for routine video shorts 1080p is enough.
