    Default Recommended Go Pro settings for night time video?

    I have a Go Pro Hero 5 Black. I've been trying to figure out the best settings for night time video. I know most camera are not all that great in low light situations, but does anyone have suggestions for camera settings that don't make the picture look all messed up?

    I also have a Hero 5 Black, and have not found any settings to get good video at night. ISO 1600 is very noisy. Can be improved somewhat in post.

    Thanks. I found the same short comings with the 1600 ISO setting. I've watched some videos that have pretty good night time shots, but I'm thinking they may be using a better or more modern camera neither of which can fit into my budget at the moment. Anyway thanks for the reply

    I’ve got the Hero 9 and haven’t been able to make it work well in low light. I guess even the new 10 isn’t great. I guess the iPhone 12 does better video in low light.
