Hero

Until recently, the last GoPro I had was a Hero 2. I bought a 13 and it was a giant leap compared to the old camera. A lot of resolution and frame rate options. You can control the camera from your phone. I haven't had it very long, but I am enjoying the upgrade. If you're thinking about it, I'd go

I had an 11 and hated it. Crackling sound, and overheated so quickly. I actually reverted to using my Hero 3 black for a while. Once I got tired of the external battery pack solution to keep it going (it is old!), I ended up going back to the 13. Seems like much of the sound issues were resolved, bu

GoPro Hero 13 with Ultrawide Lens, I bought the bundle and it also came with the regular lens. It’s mounted on the forehead area of my helmet, right above the helmet front lip with the included curved mount. I believe the FWT athletes use this camera and lens combo as well, probably from the sponsor

Yes, you should get a camera. Best cameras will be DJI Osmo Action series, or GoPro Hero Series. DJI had a better battery run time, but both can be run from an external powerbank.

There are a lot of very cheap older gopro models on the used market, even the Hero 4 is 4k. But the older ones suffer more with low light. Avoid the Hero 9 and keep an eye on battery life/swappable battery models/waterproof charging capable models if you want to go with a powerbank approach. And per

I was using an old GoPro 6 and shooting 4k/30. I would record the whole game and note the time from start when a play occurred and then pull that clip and edit it at 720p. It worked and the videos looked decent. I just upgraded to a Hero 13 Black. My son is a catcher and I add a timer on each throw

I think that's only for the low-end GoPros like the Hero 4k and the Lit Hero. Even then, you could probably offload their footage and use third-party editing software to stabilize them, but honestly I find both of those cameras to be underpowered and horribly overpriced. The mainline "Hero Black" Go

For your exact use case (4-5 hour static painting sessions), I would optimize for reliability over “cinematic” quality. What to prioritize: No auto-shutoff/record limits Clean power (dummy battery + wall adapter) Unlimited recording or auto file-split Overhead mounting option and manual focus lock U

I film exclusively with the Hero 13's at the moment due to their excellent image quality and the amount of customizable options via the GoPro Labs Firmware (something no other camera company comes close to matching). The anamorphic lens really does make for some cinematic looking footage. The Macro

You’re spot on that an action camera is the way to go and if you’re looking for the absolute latest tech, DJI just released the Osmo Action 6 which is a total beast On the other side, GoPro isn’t outdated by any means either with the Hero 13 Black being still real great. So I’d you don’t need the bl
