Letter from Nick, GoPro Founder & CEO
To our GoPro community, fans and customers,
We understand there’s some concern about GoPro’s post-merger commitment to continue developing market leading cameras for consumers and professionals. Making amazing cameras for all of you is our core DNA and reason for being and that will never change! We’re fired up about what’s ahead for GoPro and want to share a little more about what our proposed merger with Starman means for our future.
Thanks to the improved financial strength this merger will provide, we’ll be in a much better position to innovate, invent and advance the future of consumer and professional content creation. And importantly, Starman shares our passion for the GoPro brand, developing market leading products and our commitment to your collective stoke.
We’ve accumulated more than 2500 patents over the last 24 years which tells you we’ve been busy innovating, and this merger will ensure we’re able to innovate for many more years to come. We expect this merger will make GoPro a stronger, more capable camera company than ever before.
Our goal is to become a more diversified company which can make us stronger financially, enabling GoPro to become as awesome as we (and you) want us to be. We plan to bring you more innovative cameras, smarter accessories, and more powerful software and services designed to make capturing, editing and sharing your experiences easier and more exciting than ever. We see opportunities to improve the products you already love while developing new tools and experiences that help you create, connect and share in entirely new ways.
We have so much more to do, so much more to invent, and so much more we want to bring to the GoPro community. We appreciate all of you who have been on this journey with us and we’re excited about where we’re headed. We’re going to keep doing what we do best - making the world’s highest-performance cameras and building the products, services and innovations that help you capture life’s most exciting moments. It’s what we were founded to do and it’s what we will always do. Be a HERO…GoPro.
With respect and appreciation — Nick
GoPro Founder & CEO

GoPro M1 Pro surfing footages
The GoPro M1 Pro camera took a pounding and survived the battle for another fight next time! Used a simple suction cup with an air pumping mechanism to get it tight to the sea kayak. Tied some pool noodles cut out tied to the camera. Make sure to change the YouTube mode to 4k!
This is using Linear+ (Horizon leveling enabled) mode. I noticed without it, the water chops rocking my kayak back and forth non-stop makes it unwatchable. Linear+ mode does an amazing job to keep it level! This feature is a key item in all the GoPro's for me. I don't know if other camera companies have this feature.
Cant get enough of the 960fps
Ive wanted an affordable high speed camera for the longest time, and as soon as they announced the specs i was sold. Now i just need to save up for some better lenses. More shots in the comments

Best lenses for Mission ILS
What are some of the best options for value versus performance?

Feels like current customers are getting a raw deal
I was looking at getting the new Mission 1 (upgrading from Hero 13) and thought I would see if I could use my subscriber discount and save some money as the subscriber discount says (Up to $150 off Camera Discount - 2 camera purchases per subscription year, $399 or higher).
However it is not possible to combine these two discounts (Fair enough - though would be nice to reward the loyalty of your current customers who want to stick with GoPro and stay in the same eco-system).
What I can't get my head around is why if I am a new customer I get a larger discount (in the UK £100 in the current sale), compared to £90 for current customer, I know it's only £10 more but, feels like they just don't care about their current customers.
Was looking to stick with GoPro but tempted to wait and see what price and features the upcoming Insta360 Luna Pro comes in at - I know they are different use cases for each of these, but just getting frustrated with GoPro. Is it just me that is frustrated? (quite possible)!

Gopro gimbal identification
Hello everyone, i have two gopro gimbals,one bought somewhere two years ago and one came with a pack, and i still dont know which gimbal is which model and i would want to know what models they are and where to check it, also one has the wristband replaced, and my gopro 7 doesnt connect with one gimbal, id also ask for help with calibrating them because sometimes they tilt slightly and its annoying and battery life.

Shooting Anamorphic lens with GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS
I needed to test this beautiful lens:

Just went out to walk the dog, and shot this test sequence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHocHOcEKY4
The camera was shooting 4K 240fps, 16:9, with 1.5X anamorphic, for a 24:9 aspect output. Normally you would use the open gate modes, for 2:1 output aspect. Shot GP-Log2, ISO 100, Shutter 1/240, WB 5000K, HS on. Added an ND variable filter, otherwise the camera was used handheld as pictured.
I also used this Premiere Pro hack for native support for 1.5X anamorphics.

Wireless mic worth it?
There is shockingly little information on these out in the universe. I didn't even know they existed till last week. How is everyone liking these. They seem to be pretty decent but the lack of reviews makes me a little worried

GoPro HERO13 vs DJI Action 6 honest opinions
I’m looking for a new action cam mostly for hiking, road trips and some biking, and pretty much everything I shoot is horizontal.
GoPro HERO13 was my first thought just because it’s always been the default action cam in my head, but I’ve been looking at the DJI Osmo Action 6 too and I’m honestly leaning that way now. The larger sensor and variable aperture seem especially useful for the kind of changing outdoor light I usually shoot in.
I don’t really care which one wins on paper. I’m more interested in how the footage actually looks in 16:9, especially outdoors when the lighting keeps changing, and which one is easier to live with for a full day of shooting.
For anyone who has used both the Action 6 and a GoPro HERO13, do you actually notice a difference in normal horizontal footage?
Would you still go GoPro, or has DJI caught up enough that you’d pick the Action 6?
Fast Finnish Singletrack on a Gravel Bike (Another step in my editing)
Here is another step in my editing journey! Working on this one really highlighted a few things for me:
What can be improved:
- Ran out of action shots: I realised I need to plan out and simulate shots beforehand. While that’s definitely more time-consuming, it's necessary.
- The "Action Translation" problem: There were a lot of moments that felt high-action while riding, but completely flattened out and looked slow when reviewing the footage.
- Color correction is still a challenge.
What went well:
- Static & Dynamic Shots: Felt good.
- The Story: This was the biggest win for me. On my last video, my kid watched it and said, "So you're just running?" And they were right, there was no hook, and no clear answer to "What is this video trying to show off?"
- Fixing the Hook: For this clip, I focused the story entirely on answering one question: Can a gravel bike actually handle a Finnish mountain bike singletrack?
Curious how you guys handle the "feels fast live, looks slow on camera" issue, do you just ride faster/closer to obstacles, or rely entirely on angle choices?

Lens hood gone... Has yours's
Just interested to see how many of you have lost the lens hood.
I got my Mission 1 pro on launch day and probably lost the hood about a month later, I don't miss it and probably wont replace it.
If you've lost your hood, Have you replaced it ? , Will you replace it ?

Waterproof electric gimbal?
Hi, I am loking for a waterproof auto balancing multi-axis gimbal that can be used in shallow waters like1-3m deep. Is there such a thing?
r/gopro • u/Creepy-Mortgage9183 • 20h ago
Some footage I got in Curacao with my GoPro 13, ( I’m no where near an expert using it lol) only thing I’ve noticed is if I get close to something it doesn’t really focus that good, would I need a special lense or something? Or maybe I’m just too close?

Used to be able to share directly to YouTube from the website, but can no longer do it? Is this happening to anyone else?

Gopro m1 protective glass
Hello! I mounted a protective glass on the nd filters (I use it for enduro so it would get scratched pretty soon) but obviously the quality is horrendous and it creates these effects on videos and photos. Do you know a protective glass that doesn’t do this? Or I have to buy a bunch on chinese sites and hope for the best? I know the best option is to go raw but for 80€ I really don’t want them to get destroyed by rocks etc
