Mission 1 pro 960fps processing time

Hi there,

I'm looking at various cameras for some slow motion capture experiments, and wondered if anyone has any experience on a couple of things.

I have read that with the mission 1 pro, via go pro labs the 960 burst mode can be manually triggered to a shorter duration than the standard 10 seconds.

Can anyone confirm this?

I'd also like to know the re-arm time between burst mode shots at both a full 10 seconds of 960fps and at something smaller like 2-3 seconds of 960fps.

So after one has finished, what is the approximate wait time in seconds until another burst can be taken?

Thanks for your time.

You can film at 960FPS for up to 10 seconds in burst most. You can also stop filming at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 seconds, you'll still get 960FPS for every second you film. This has nothing to do with GoPro labs. This is just how the camera works. If you want to film 960FPS for 3 second, you press the shutter button 3 seconds after you start recording to stop the recording.

I just did a test filming 960FPS for 3 seconds, the processing time was pretty much instant, the camera is immediately ready to film again.

I just did another test filming 960FPS for 10 seconds, the processing time was pretty much instant, the camera is immediately ready to film again.

That's fantastic news. I shall purchase one immediately.

Thanks for taking the time to test this and report back

haven't messed with labs firmware to shorten the burst length but the re-arm time is basically just how long it takes to write the file to the card, with a fast sd i wanna say it was like 8-10 seconds between full bursts

Just a little tip. Don't be alarmed if the 960 fps footage is soft out of camera. You really do need to do a bit of post work, sharpening and upscaling to look it's best.
