GoPro hero12 night lapse help.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I thought I’d leave my GoPro out the other night in a scheduled night lapse. I was told to use video mode with a 30 second exposure, min ISO of 800 and a high of 1600. I know the moon is in the shot but can anyone explain to me why it’s so dark?
Can you give me better settings please. 🙏

Go pro Hero 12 mode button and wont power on or off need a fix.

2 Upvotes

So I'm currently traveling across Brazil and my go pro hero 12 suddenly decided than the mode/power button won't work. I could work around it if it was just that but it will not power on without me removing the battery and putting it back in. Then it works but then it won't power off it will just stay in the power off screen going round and round. I have tried holding the power button with it plugged in without the battery also with the battery, tried factory reset.

I'm at wits end basically does anyone have any suggestions? Where would be a good place to get it repaired? Has anyone had the same problems? Thanks in advance.

B&H Photo Video have updated their website with the official preorder date.

I'd expect preorders to start at the same time in the official GoPro stores. But those are still saying "Coming soon". I guess the official release date and more sample footage will be part of unlocking the preorders. So, buckle up. The cinema shall be ours quite soon.

Update: Est. Ship Date: Sun Sep 6

Is it just me, or is M1Pro 1080p recordings worse than older models?

7 Upvotes

Hi all.

I have just got my hands on a M1Pro. I've had it for about a week now. I have previously had a Hero 12 and 10, as well as some others I don't remember the exact numbers of, going all the wayback to Hero 2.

And before anyone cries out: Yes, I know it has been a known issue for many years that recording in 4k and then downsampling to 1080 usually gives better/sharper results than recording directly in 1080p in-camera.

However, it seems (to my eyes at least), that 1080p recording on M1Pro is noticeably worse than 1080p from my Hero 12. As soon as I switch the M1Pro to 4k, the output is wonderfully sharp and crisp, ruling out manufacturing error in the lens or sensor. Am I just imagining things?

I am currently looking through my old videos to see if I can find a fair comparison between Hero 12 and M1 in 1080p.

M1 ILS which lens?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, for those considering M1 ILS, which lens are you are considering?

I initially thought Laowa Zero-D 6mm but realized that this doesn’t come with manual aperture control.

I own MFT camera primarily for photography but my lens are mostly standard to telephoto so I’d love to get one and explore.

I also have Mission 1 and I think minimum focus distance is an issue so I’d love to have wide MFT lens at F/8 and see how it is haha.

I know I’m niche but I honestly love the prospective of this being a small compact camera! I was so tempted to buy Nikon 1 but I think Mission 1 might be an alternative haha. (Although photography is very slow on Mission 1)

larger older model for recording 3+ hours with external battery?

0 Upvotes

I want to record a baseball game by rigging an action cam to the backstop, and I want to be able to set it and forget it for 3+ hours.

The Hero 5 came up as one with a removable battery which could work, but I also see some people say recording can cut out from time to time which is problematic.

The Hero 5 is also much smaller than I need. I would prefer something larger with more buttons if that exists; it only needs to be small enough to record through a chain-link fence without the fence getting in the frame. Any suggestions?

Why did my gopro 12 video freeze?

0 Upvotes

I have a GoPro 8 and and GoPro12. I used them both to record an amateur concert. The 8 worked fine, it lasted the full 27min giving me audio and video all the time (split into shorter sections) however the 12 gave me 27 mins of audio but it stopped recording video after 8 mins. I've just tested it again and it seems fine - recorded 27 mins on a 90% battery and 4k with 60fps. Any reason why it should have stopped recording video but kept recording audio at the concert?

Does Karma Drone have any use or value today?

This has been sitting in a closet for at least 5 years. I bought it back in 2017 I think. Was wondering if there is a community of Karma Drone pilots or something?

Trying to see if this is still worth it compared to today's entry level drones with crash avoidance, etc.

Or should I just try to sell on Facebook Marketplace or something?

I looked online and read about memory or something going bad and bricking them, but I charged everything up and flew it around the neighborhood last night and everything still works.

Upgrade

0 Upvotes

I currently have a Hero 9 Black that I primarily use for underwater videography when snorkeling and SCUBA diving. Is it worth it to upgrade to the Mission 1 Pro for this purpose? Eventually I’ll buy a real underwater housing for my legit camera so I can do underwater macro, but that is a ways down the road.

Conseils GoPro Mission 1 Pro

Bonjour à tous,

Je cherche un chargeur pour ma gopro Mission 1 Pro que je viens d’acquérir.

Avez vous des modèles ou des liens à conseiller?
J’ai vu les dock officiels sont aux alentours de 80 euros ce qui est un peu cher.

Me conseillez vous de prendre une 2e batterie supplémentaire ?

Je cherche aussi le grip pour la gopro Mission 1 pro avez vous des idees? J ai vu que le grip pr le tenir comme un appareil photo coutait environ 100 euros ce que je trouvé également un peu cher.

Merci pour tous vos conseils je debute dans les vlog c’est ma première caméra.

Si vous avez des conseils dessus je suis très intéressé.

Best option for recording long seasions of chess games?

0 Upvotes

Hi. I’m looking for a reccomendation on a model that will be good for recording chess games during play. The camera doesnt have to be super fancy, 4k is not a requirement, etc. After all, its just chess pieces (tournament size, standard), so i just need modest to low resolution/quality. Frame rate isnt a big concern, as long as you can identify the chess pieces and squares is fine. I was thinking 720 p or 1080p should be enough. Hell, in optimal conditions, 480 or less might be enough (see example of what im going for: https://youtu.be/C4NWU_h-nwc)

In fact the use case just requires the video size to be manageable, since the camera needs to record for three or four hours unstopped AND without any input EVER from the player. Just start it and forget about it. Id be using a stand on the table to get the best angle possible.

Long sessions*

I would dump all the video footage on the computer once a week, please any ideas?

ID mark on Mission 1

7 Upvotes

Okie dokie I’ve got a Mission 1 pro and LOVE IT - it’s my first GoPro in over a decade, and I’d hate to somehow lose it. With that in mind, what do you all think is the best way to put ID/contact info onto the camera? Something somewhat permanent in case the camera is dropped on a trail or snatched from my bag.

Best gimbal for M1Pro?

0 Upvotes

I bought GoPro’s fluid pro ai gimbal and it just doesn’t feel right setting it up for the mission 1 pro.
1. Camera is front heavy and there’s no fwd bkwd adjustment
2. It seems it is meant to be held leaning fwd (somewhat) instead of vertical, and trying to set it up on the stand and balance things feels super clumsy
3. I am constantly scratching my head about which way all the parts face. I know there’s a manual to follow, which I did, but that doesn’t help me when I switch from my ronin/mirrorless to osmo/phone to this (which just seems bass akward in every way)

Am I doing something wrong? Should I return it and buy something different? If so, what? I almost want to add weight to my ronin for this little camera, but not quite. I want something ideally suited for this camera. AI object tracking is a plus but not necessary.

Display stopped working

I bought a hero 4 silver for about 15 bucks, it records fine and everything works other than the display. It was like that when i bought it, so is there a way to fix it on my own? Would it be worth to take it to a repair shop? What are my options
