GoPro to lay off 145 workers — nearly a quarter of its workforce

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

Crash Cams?

Just sharing my previous experiences with GoPros as crash cams. An older model, I think it was a GoPro Hero 6 but we used it as a crash cam on a road where there was good chance a car would hit the camera. And sure enough, the car sideswipes into the GoPro. We manage to recover it, and watched playb

content creation for cqb

I personally use a GoPro Hero 10 that was on heavy discount and mout it to a cap, so i get a slightly elevated version of player's eye view. I personally don't like the headband style mounts and i wouldn't wear it on my chest because arms/blasters block your shot. Shoulder mounts may work on your do

Best camera for a helmet?

(I'm not the person you asked, but...) One of the problems with helmet cams is that your head moves a LOT more than you might think! From wobbling and wiggling tiny amounts, to the abruptly yanking your head and looking over your shoulder, helmet cams seem to spend a considerable amount of their tim

4k Fence Mount Camera (non streaming)

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

For those who use a POV camera...

I personally prefer gopro. Having the hero 12 and quite happy about it. I like to mount on the helmet when snowboarding. It gives a nice perspective of the turns and the board and landscape doesn't look crazy stretched. There is the ultra wide mode or something like this, it is cool for when you are

Is there a decent action camera that doesn't require an app or phone to use?

What do you mean by fully use? I just bought an Action 5 Pro and an Ace Pro 2. Both do have to be registered to activate (and for firmware updates). But after that, you don’t need an app or a phone at all- it just functions as a standalone camera. So if the problem is not having a smartphone, two op

Best Budget Camcorder for Long Painting Sessions?

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 use a GoPro and have had good results with that. Its easier than an iPhone to get through the chain link unobstructed. I bought the Hero 13 Black at Costco and now I also have a GoPro to record vacations/excursions and timelapses. GC gives you an option of using an external camera to stream in the
