These are the best settings to use for those who are familiar with videography. I will share my secrets to the best settings, why you would use these settings, and how to color grade gopro footage in Davinci Resolve 17.

I'm shooting using the Gopro Hero 7 Black, but The process is the same in Gopro 7, 8, 9 and Gopro Hero 10. Any of the Gopros work with the same principle, but hypersmooth is a very nice upgrade that the older versions lack.

This how to guide focuses mostly on ski and mtb footage, but all the principles can be applied to any type of gopro footage.
