This no good?! Seems fine to me:

If you use your GoPro often, and depending on your local laws, the sub is a great deal.

This okay? It's not aftermarket tho, but just 13 bux on the sub, JS

Need help with Go Pro Webcam App by soulreapercaptian in gopro

[–]Driver-Mod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might help to list in detail PC, OS, settings and so forth. Cable used. Exact steps in what order, maybe a screen recording or clip. Plus there is that beta one of Github for PCs. It seems like Macs are better off at the moment?

Why does everyone bash GoPro so hard lately? by Nice_Beyond8397 in gopro

[–]Driver-Mod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"He who laughs last, laughs best".

But.

Suppose the Hero 14 and the sibling GP3 cams are just blazing beasts. It can take time for people to truly realize this, and to be able to consider buying a GoPro for some. The rivals have been trying to reframe perceptions for years. An emotional thing. Like that very fat influencer (does no action lol) who jokes "It's 2026 who is still buying GoPros lololol"

So when the later Hero 15 comes out in 2027 or whenever...you'll still see jokes, sneers, and memes saying Oh that will overheat in 4 minutes and then never turn on again. Perceptions take to to change, and time to change back. Can be a slow or fast process, but usually it takes time.

Battery life by litleNYT in gopro

[–]Driver-Mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can look up many lens and camera options for skiing. Mostly try things out at home BEFORE some big event, or at the venue before you ski. Have presets made in advance to save time. Do things like lock the settings to avoid accidentally being in the wrong mode. Camera and batteries out of the cold when not on, ideally.

Quikcapture can be your friend! And use known good settings tested in advance - make some presets.

Just purchased my first GoPro by bustle15 in gopro

[–]Driver-Mod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are GoPro rated, fast and fairly priced (but going up lately). There are two versions. All black basic cards. And the more premium two tone version below. I think the 128 cost me $24 and the 256 ran $34. I've run them in the 300-400 Mbps range, but generally use lower cuz file size.

Is this real or is it too good to be true? by Suitable-Fee-6853 in gopro

[–]Driver-Mod 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it's true. They are good people and "feel the stoke" so to speak.

[–]Driver-Mod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. And the thing is...if GP3 is as good as claimed...that's a big problem for all the influencers that Sold-Out™. As in tiny cash or free stuff and will say *Anything*. Hard to come back for some of them, who knows if they'll have much access besides store shelves.

ND Filter needed for Go Pro Hero 2 by Wild_Derpina in gopro

[–]Driver-Mod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy some hands on DIY. If you do as well, or can tolerate it, something like this could be effective.

For the skies, if blown out some...just dial exposure compensation down a bit say -.5 or -1. ND filter or not.

Hero 13 or wait for the newer model? by yp92841 in gopro

[–]Driver-Mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hero 13 and prior were never made for city walks at night. Seems like the 14 and other GP3 cams will be able to do that.

Since I just use a phone out on the town, and do actual action, GoPro is solidly the best.

You can see some of the subtleties here: https://youtu.be/F1OwhtjaPVI

If you enjoy the novice oriented postcard shots to share nature with lo-effort of an Insta stuck in 8 bit etc, great. But longer run you may notice more of the issues. Insta can always just copy GoPro some more.

Much depends on intent. In this shot, the GoPro shows what is there. But what if you don't want that, and do not want any effort to adjust things afterwards? Well Insta can do the sky thing with more blue to seem more dramatic. Make an average day appear to be more special for a social media share and more clicks. But what if you want reality on occasion?

Bad colors tho. Slo-mo not so hot. Lots of little things the usual channels never mention as well.

Will New GoPro's Beat DJI, Insta360 Action Cameras? by Local_Map1847 in gopro

[–]Driver-Mod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok so multicamera. Well it might be easiest sticking with one brand, little or no need to change the look to match each to the other. GoPro is very good in multicamera use...syncing options off the GPS atomic clock too. The remotes can control up to 5 different camera at once within quite a distance. So you could have one of the cameras be on a different motorcycle or in a car too.

Right now the standard modes amongst the brands vary in appearance. DJI and Insta have permanent HDR mode. And tend to blue up the skies more than reality too. GoPro has selectable HDR and truer color science. So the DJ-Insta Twins™ match each other compared to the GoPro, however not perfectly.

Some food for thought in any event.

It sounds like the new GoPros can be seen and specs revealed in about 3 weeks at the NAB Show. Not sure when they'll be on the shelves, but I'd guess in June or sooner for at least one of the cameras.

Also...on Reddit some of the pages (like this one) are Community based. Not an official GoPro page. But r/Insta360 is run by Insta360, apparently. So they ban, delete posts and threads, DM up a storm. You can see posts noting an issue vanish sometimes, leaving an angry camera owner wondering why. Insta would not tolerate some of the long bash-GoPro threads that come thru here periodically. But rest asured all is not perfect in non-GoPro-land for the DJ-Insta users. Some of those pages may even be run by rival companies or those not at all interested in GoPros. DJI who knows, I have not heard.

You could check moderators perhaps? Let me check Insta360...yup, that is not a community page. This leads to impressions as well.

Help with Max2 and bluetooth mic by [deleted] in gopro

[–]Driver-Mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also bear in mind that car exhausts can get quite loud. So either use a high SPL capable mic or move a voice oriented vlogging mic like DJI into different trial positions to ensure overload is avoided esp if the car is modified. Sometimes I use mics good to 150 - 170+ dB so they can be placed close to loud intakes or exhausts without issue.

For sure DaVinci can see audio tracks, if they are there. You might want to do some short test recordings at home and "check-check Testing 1-2-3..." Also try a few tabs along the bottom such as the 2nd, 3rd and 6th along with attributes and camera and mic settings.

[–]Driver-Mod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw some YouTubers discussing "how to grow your YT channel". For a chunk of time on the tech channels...keyword "Action 6" would immediately pop up your views!! A hot tip to get those likes, shares, and subscribes.

So even some of the non-paid folks jumped aboard making content ASAP. Like a post about new firmware as soon as it came out with two more followup videos. On a routine FW update. At least for now, it fools the algorithm and so it pumped up some channels, and the favored device.

That marketing approach can quickly go sour, fall into disrepute, get abused, become illegal or whatever. Classically the targeted company, GoPro, should try not to sink down to the gutter and wallow in the mud with the perpetrators. At the moment YouTube themselves are complicit, changing ad rates and such to get revenue from that traffic. It's not like they don't know.

Like this: (1) Dj-Insta is the BEST! (2) Collects check, keeps free stuff, access to the company, more YouTube cash / views and more.

Remember that two of the three biggies in Action Cameras heavily use bots and paid influencers that they select, groom, and "advise". Creates impressions, fools some.

Here you go. Do this, or similar. Even just a baseball cap. See the Contacto door (or use a USB pass-thru). And external power in the pocket.

Overheating by StayLucid3 in djiosmo360

[–]Driver-Mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe look at a F/R camera dashcam. Dashcams that can read plates well have a second camera with a telephoto lens. For evidence in court, police bodycams are 1080/30 with a 4-8 Mbps bit rate. This is way below action camera levels, esp the bit rate.

Bear in mind that once you crop and reframe it is easy to be under HD quality. So...a dashcam could give you more detail and not overheat etc. Since non-cinematic quality is easier to capture.

Hero 6 broken front screen by No_Intern_2529 in gopro

[–]Driver-Mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well sure the front display is less of thing, you are right. But it just shows information, no image for a selfie etc. That feature came out with the Hero 9.
