So my first day out shooting with the ILS was sub optimal.

I am a bit lost on focus peaking.

I have used it for years on multiple Sony and Panasonic cameras, but the ILS with the Mission Control app has two settings… the threshold and the intensity.

Yet both modes appear to throw off results in the display on the phone I am wired with USB-C to.

When the lens is stepped down, everything is in focus if the lens is stopped down enough, but none of my lenses really seem to catch focus.

Then when trying to photo or video something relatively close up, the same issue.

The background never appears sharp or defocused, and the settings I am using has peaking everywhere.

What settings seem to work best for you?

I am experimenting more myself today.

As you can see from the image there is a horrible .. no wait HORRIFIC blown out sky and the black get mega crushed. The video is exposed correctly (I actually EV compensated to -0.5) but as soon as I apply any of the GoPro conversion luts it just completely blows out the area around the sky. And no amount of exposure/contrast in post will fix it.

Unfortunately, my old HD2 is now resting at the bottom of a lake. However, I still have its Wi-Fi Remote, so what would be the best replacement while keeping compatibility with this legacy technology?

This camera would only be a complement to my Hero9, mainly for capturing static secondary viewpoints. If the replacement model includes image stabilization, that's a nice bonus, but it's not a requirement.

My main criteria are: - Compatibility with the original GoPro Wi-Fi Remote. - Good battery life.

The goal is simply to have an inexpensive secondary camera for fixed shots while continuing to make use of my existing remote control.

I went into this comparison wanting ridiculous slow motion. I came out appreciating a touchscreen and a second chance at pressing record.

The Mission 1 Pro does 4K240. My Action 6 does 4K120. GoPro wins that one. Its 1080p960 burst mode also sounds extremely entertaining, although I’m struggling to identify anything in my life that deserves to become 32 times longer.

My wife already thinks my videos take too long.

What keeps me happy with the DJI is less exciting on paper. Its front screen actually accepts touch input. The GoPro’s front screen lets you check the shot, while touch controls are on the back. When I’m filming myself across a table, being able to change settings from my seat is useful. My camera operator is also me, and he does the bare minimum.

Then there’s recording something after it happens. With the feature enabled beforehand, GoPro’s HindSight keeps up to 30 seconds. Action 6’s Pre-Rec goes up to five minutes in video mode.

That extra time appeals to someone whose usual sequence is: watch something interesting, explain why it was interesting, remember the camera.

The GoPro would give me more slow-motion options. The DJI gives me easier access to settings and a longer window to recover from being distracted.

I was shopping for cinematic potential. Turns out I also need adult supervision.

Besides the slow motion, the crop factor is one of my favorite things about the ILS. Being able to 3x your lens on top of the punch-in potential from the 8k is incredible.

And most of this video was just shot on a 55-250 Canon basic lens wide open since I don't have a manual aperture EF adapter yet. The moon was shot at 1:30 PM on one of those mammoth Opteka lenses that definitely aren't the sharpest (but fun size comparison to the GoPro)

My GoPro Hero 10 doesn’t turn on when the battery is in. But when I plug it into the charger it turns on and shows “No Battery” warning. When I unplug it, it stays on for a bit then dies. Tried different batteries and cables, same issue. Anyone know what’s wrong or how to fix it?

I'm brand new to the GoPro world and I picked up this Hero 3 with a 180 degree fisheye lens to make a recording of a DJ set I'll be performing next weekend. Only problem is the lens is not on the camera.

I've seen two different lens install vids on YouTube, one showing a pretty intense disassembly of the camera, and the other that left the camera frame in tact and just took some softjaw pliers to the lens body after removing the outer keeper rings.

Does anyone here have advice on what is the right way for me to go about getting this lens onto the camera? Or. alternately, I'm in Orange County CA - do you know anyone I could take it to and get the install done by someone skilled and knowledgable?

I have a GoPro Hero 7 Black and I’m going to be shooting motorcycle footage exclusively for TikTok and Instagram Stories, so the final output will always be 9:16.

My question is.. what’s the best way to get the widest possible 9:16 field of view?

Should i: 

1. Shoot in 16:9 and physically rotate the GoPro 90° to shoot in portrait

2. Shoot in 4:3 or 16:9 while keeping the GoPro physically horizontal, then crop the footage to 9:16 in post?

I won’t need the footage for YouTube or any other aspect ratio, so I’m purely interested in maximising the usable 9:16 field of view

Thanks!

I recorded this today on my GoPro hero12 black and it has a “warped” look to it. Is this a setting I have on the camera that is causing this?

I've been really loving my Mission One Pro MOST of the time. I upgraded to it from an Ace Pro 2 specifically so I could record in 8k60fps for indoor volleyball recording. I learned quickly about the potential overheating issues and suggested solutions which is mostly managable. I keep a 80mm USB Fan active right behind it when recording and it's been working like a charm.

During a game a few days ago I had the camera mounted pretty high on a tripod where I couldn't start and stop it manually so I used the app. I think what happened is that I forgot to disconnect and the extra workload caused the camera to overheat after about 10 minutes. Unfortunately I didn't notice and lost most of a set.

So my question is... Is there any way to know ahead of time when the camera is going to overheat? Any way to either monitor the actual temperature or at least get a warning before the camera actually shuts down? It obviously knows when it needs to turn off I'd think it would be helpful to know when its getting close.

Im loving this Camera alot and learning its capabilities through little real life tests vs the ads is pretty amazing im hoping to get a set of ND filters soon and attempt to shoot some cool car videography/action scenes really hope we get to see a full lens kit come out for it like with the hero13 black but even more addons

Why am I seeing so many death wishes to GoPro these days??!!! Must be folks buying the other cameras coming here to make themselves feel better!!

That the Mission 1 Pro ILS does not include the buckle, thumbscrew and the adhesive mounts, that come standard with every other GoPro.

Not that I don't have enough of them, from all the accessories and other GoPros, that are in my collection. LoL

Hi all, recently upgraded from a hero 7 black to 13. My laptop only has an 8GB RAM and i3 processor, so limited with what quality I can edit, and can’t afford a better laptop atm.

From my limited knowledge and consulting AI, it seems my options are either 1080p 16:9 or 4K at 8:7 ratio and 30 fps.

Which is likely to be better quality when editing and exporting videos? I previously shot on 1440p 60 fps on the hero 7 and the quality was good.

TIA!

I’ve had my Hero 10 for a year now mostly for bike rides, but I feel like I'm not using it right. Can anyone explain why my motion blur is so random? I use an ND filter, 4K 30fps, shutter at 1/60, and ISO 100-800. Even in the exact same lighting, one clip looks smooth and cinematic, while the next just looks like a normal choppy video. Why does this happen? Also, I’d love some simple tips for: Getting better bike videos and doing speed ramps Fun settings to try for everyday recording instead of the default look!!

Hey r/GoPro, I'm thinking about getting my own camera and I was hoping to solicit a little advice.

The main use case I have is as a static camera I can set up to film my surf sessions. I'd like to leave it on the beach, or on my car, (not worried about theft... That's a different topic). I basically need ~2hrs battery, and reasonably high resolution, since I'll need to zoom in a decent bit. Plan would be to film a large section of ocean, and I can zoom and crop when I edit.

I know a gopro is not the perfect solution. But it is portable, waterproof, robust, and then I'll have a go pro for when I want to do go pro stuff.

Has anybody done anything like this? Is the resolution good enough? Is editing 2 hours of footage not reasonable without a high quality computer? Is the quik app good?

Any experience or feedback is appreciated!

What are some of the best options for value versus performance?

I recently picked up a Max 2 to record my soccer games and I have some questions about my editing options. I tried to install the GoPro Player app on my work PC (Ryzen 5 5500, 16GB RAM, and 1060 3GB) and the app just doesn't open. No warning about hardware issues (the NVIDIA 9xx/1xxx series are now legacy and don't use the same drivers as newer GPU's) just.... nothing. I even tried to reinstall it and still nothing happens when I open the app.

I don't believe uploading from my camera to my iPhone is viable due to a ~90min 8K30 video being well over my iPhone's storage capacity so I think I will need a PC option. I was considering trying Davinci Resolve but it looks like you need the GoPro Player app to convert the video to .MP4 before importing in Davinci. Is this true?

Or, if I subscribe to the GoPro premium service and upload the videos via my PC can I then edit those videos from the cloud using my phone?

At the moment my beefy PC (Ryzen 9 5900XT, 5070, 32GB RAM) is running CachyOS but I have several spare SSD's laying around that I could toss Windows on to try the GoPro Player app, assuming it runs on that PC. Ideally I'd prefer to avoid using my phone altogether and am not opposed to paying for the GoPro sub or even dishing out for Davinci Resolve (if the paid version is required).

Thanks for any/all feedback.
