1. GoPros perform terribly in low light, seriously, they're awful in the your house. Especially at night.

2. Clean the lens or casing, or maybe just set it in some rice, it looks like there is some condensation on the lens/case.

3. Are you using the best possible settings when editing footage?

I'm not sure best possible setting, I'm at recommended for Exposure, Contrast, Brightness, and Saturation.

I don't really understand what you said, but GoPros dont have any in camera settings for that stuff? It's all auto-exposure? Do you mean like in an editing program, that would only include doing some color correction?

Well I'm not expert at the craft of color correction/grading, but I do know that are no "set" numbers you are going to get best results with. It's all dependent on the shot you have, in that shot up there, not much can be done. Like I said, that was filmed in very low light and GoPros are not going to give you a good image in those conditions. I suggest going online, looking up how to use color correction for your specific editing program, then testing it out. I would test it with that shot though.

gopros are not meant for low, flat light. take that bitch outside and watch everything become perfect.

60fps is really bad for night. I mean the go pro still is bad at night but useing your go pro at 30fps 1080 exposes better at night with less noise.
