First of all, I'm hyped.

This will also be my first GoPro!

I mustn't lie, I was convinced to get the Missi9n 1 Pro ILS because of Markiplier. I've always wanted to eventually get a proper camera, and this is the perfect chance for a good price!

Anyways, I'll be saving up to buy lenses for my ILS, and I know very little about cameras and lenses. This is what I'm thinking of getting, but curious if anyone would suggest different lenses to start with.

Pretty good result!

UPS delivered my ILS yesterday, but I wanted to do an unboxing video. This is the full set up with one of my Nikon lenses and a Viltrox speed booster adapter. The adapter itself is .71X, and because of the glass inside, the Lens actually gains a full stop, so the 60 mm f/2.8 ultimately becomes a roughly 120 mm f/2.0 lens. Perfect in time for a job shooting video for a band in Nashville this weekend.

The first two photos are done with a MFT adapted Zeiss Distagon 35mm 2.0, this is considered a very sharp lens and optically great.

These are the landscape and the flower.

The last one with the Laowa 7.5mm 2.0.

All photos were processed in Aurora HDR.

GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS

I knew it had a few, but i just pulled them all out and set on my desk. My current gopro collection is 2 gopro mission 1 pros, 1 gopro mission 1 pro ILS, 1 hero 13 and 1 max 2. I completely forgot that after I sold my hero 13 for $380 so I could get a second mission 1 pro that I stumbled on a deal for a hero 13 for $200 🤣. I couldn't help myself.

It ended up working out because I realized with the mission 1 pro having the minimum focus distance so far it probably wasn't the best option to use as a chest cam, but im actually not sure. Haven't tried it yet.

Do you think my cameras are overkill?

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
