However, with many retailers selling older GoPro models and all the options available privately via second-hand markets/eBay etc, here are all the various GoPro product lines you may come across: Session – A small, inexpensive GoPro that is little more than a box with a lens.

Despite all the compelling GoPro alternatives available, these 4 product lines offer something affordable for every level of photographer or video-maker.

Not all GoPros are waterproof without a separate housing. Newer GoPro models are on their own, but older models (such as the Hero 2, Hero 3, and Hero 4) need a separate housing.

GoPros can be used for non-professional photography. They’re especially good for travel photography, though a dedicated still camera will give you more control and better image quality.

Today we’re talking about GoPro Protune. This little known extra settings mode on GoPro cameras that is often misunderstood or simply ignored by many newer GoPro users. We’ll help you understand everything you need to know so you can decide if GoPro Protune is worth it for you.

Protune gives you more control over your GoPro photo and video settings. If you’ve ever played with a DSLR or mirrorless camera, it’s kind of like switching the camera into manual mode. GoPro Protune allows you to modify all kinds of settings like the shutter speed, exposure compensation, white balance, color profiles, ISO and sharpness, to name a few. By default, Protune is turned off and is accessible from either the touch screen on newer models or the GoPro camera smartphone app.

Who is Protune for? Protune is for GoPro users who want a specific look in their photos or higher quality image and video. Anyone who uses Protune should be willing to spend time editing after shooting or have a plan to use a professional Video Editing Service like Spivo"s to save time and energy. As Protune gives you the ability to fine-tune every camera setting, it’s a good idea to mess around with Protune before relying on it for a particular trip or shot.

It is absolutely not mandatory to use Protune. If you’re a beginner or have recently purchased your first GoPro camera, you’ll probably find the default settings to be pretty freaking good. Meanwhile, if you tend to be picky with your content, or are simply curious about what’s possible with GoPro Protune, keep reading as we’re going to cover every single setting in detail.

Depending on your model of GoPro, you might have some limitations when using Protune. Generally, Protune is only available on the higher-end GoPro models most commonly referred to as “Black”. On the newer models, you’ll be able to use Protune for either photos or videos, whereas some of the older cameras are limited only to shooting videos with Protune.  Moreover, on the newer Hero 7 Black and Hero 8 Black, you can even use a slightly more limited version of Protune for timelapse video and timelapse photo.

For the remainder of this blog, we’d recommend grabbing your GoPro to follow along and test each mode for yourself. Go ahead and grab it, we’ll wait :)

Shutter speed is the amount of time in seconds that the shutter stays open exposing the camera sensor to light. The most common shutter speeds as displayed as fractions of a second for example 1/125, or 1/500. The longer the shutter stays open, the more light and movement the GoPro sensor will receive.

For Protune video, the shutter speed is based off the video frame rate (FPS) and the available shutter speeds are multiples of the frame rate. For example, if you’re shooting 1440P at 60 FPS which is our recommended shooting mode on the Spivo 360, you’ll see shutter speed options of 1/120 or 1/240 (multiples of 60) on your GoPro. There’s a rule in videography called the 180-degree shutter angle rule which stipulates your shutter speed should always be double your frame rate to ensure your video contains natural movement. If you select a shutter speed that is too low, you’ll get blurred movement while a shutter speed that is too high will look like everything was shot in slow motion. Unless you have a very specific reason you want to change the shutter speed, it’s a good idea to leave it on auto for most applications.

The EV Comp setting gives you the ability to manually set the exposure which is the overall brightness of the photo. With Protune, you can adjust the exposure in 0.5 steps from -2.0 to +2.0, where a photo or video with ideal lighting will have an exposure of 0. If you want a brighter photo (e.g. shooting at night), you can consider raising it by one stop from +0.5 to +2.0. If you want to darken your shot (e.g. shooting in harsh direct sunlight) bring the exposure down between -0.5 to -2.0.

Generally, you want the overall color tone looking natural rather than tinted and to have objects that are white in person be white in your photo. White Balance is commonly written in Kelvin (K) color temperature units (e.g. 3000K) and is adjustable from 2300K to 6500K using GoPro Protune. Dark environments such as a candlelit room will be around 2300K, while bright sunlight can be around 5000K and up. The correct WB should take into considering the color temperature of the light source. For example, sunny shots have a different temperature than a cloudy one, so we’ll provide some examples of which WB temperature to use for various shots.

Since WB can vary quite a bit depending on the lighting, it’s best to use it when your light source is very constant. If you set the WB incorrectly, you’ll end up with a strong unrealistic looking color cast. If the WB is too high, the shot will come out with orange tint meanwhile, a too low number will come out bluish. If you are shooting with multiple different cameras or GoPro’s, it can be a good idea to set the WB to the same temperature across all cameras so everything looks the same. This tactic often used by wedding photographers, even though most don’t shoot with GoPros.

ISO is a setting that sets the GoPro sensor sensitivity to light. On GoPro cameras, the sensitivity ranges from 100 (low sensitivity) to 6400 (high sensitivity). Generally, you want to set the ISO to the lowest possible number while keeping the shot properly exposed. Higher ISO numbers such as 3200 or 6400 should only really be used in low light (night time settings) as these shots will have more graininess/noise.

On the Hero 7 Black, you can set a min and max ISO, whereas former versions like the Hero 5 Black have the option to set only a max ISO and your GoPro will automatically adjust the ISO up to that number. If you know you’re going to be shooting in a specific scenario like in direct sunlight, it can make sense to lock the ISO to a specific number or range such as 100 (min) and 1000 (max). If you’re reading this, you know that GoPro’s aren’t exactly known for their low light performance. As such, for capturing northern lights, starlight, or to shoot a thunderstorm at night, it makes sense to lock the ISO at 3200 or 6400.

Sharpness in photography is a term used to describe the overall clarity of an image in terms of both contrast and focus. There are three settings for sharpness on your GoPro: High, medium, and low. The default setting is High which helps your GoPro shots look lifelike, with lots of contrast, detail, and texture. If you plan on editing the photos or videos, you can consider bringing the sharpness down to medium or low. Keep in mind, it’s always easier to add sharpness in when video editing than to reduce it.

The color setting on GoPro Protune is one of the simplest as there are only two options: GoPro (color) and Flat. The default setting is GoPro color which will color-correct the image profile in camera. Meanwhile, Flat offers a more neutral color profile which is popular amongst cinematographers. The Flat color profile captures more details in the shadows and tames down the highlights (bright spots), which is great for shooting on a cloudy day or on a sunny day where there are lots shadows. Without editing, photos or videos shot with the Flat color profile will appear much less impressive, although they will offer you more control over all image aspects such as contrast and saturation in post-production.

With the normal GoPro color profile, the shadows tend to be darker and the highlights are brighter which can make it a harder to balance when editing. The colors tend to be more punchy and the shots have with higher contrast. GoPro color saturates the image quite a bit more than Flat and can even make some scenes (especially the sky) look a little fake at times. For quick shots that are ready to be posted online with little editing, GoPro color is a great option. Meanwhile, if you want to have the added flexibility in post-production, or you’re shooting with multiple cameras and plan to match up the footage, it’s a good idea to shoot with the Flat profile.

Stereo: use Stereo when the wind is not a factor. This mode will force your GoPro to utilize both microphones to record audio. Filming a vlog in a backyard or quiet place could make for a good opportunity to use this mode.

Wind: use Wind on windy days or if your GoPro is mounted on a moving vehicle. If you’re going for a motorcycle or boat ride, use this mode to prioritize wind reduction in the video.

GoPro’s aren’t really known for their audio quality and we’ve never bothered to take it off of the auto setting. If you have, let us know in comments what you filmed!

Finally, tapping reset will restore Protune to its original settings. On the newer touch screen models (Hero 5/6/7/8) you’ll be prompted on an extra menu to confirm you want to reset to the default Protune mode.

Nice work! In this blog, we’ve covered everything you need to know about GoPro Protune. With your newfound knowledge, are you going to use Protune on your next adventure? Let us know in the comments below or on Instagram.

The sad reality is that most GoPro most footage never gets used. Life"s busy, most people don"t have the time or ability to put together a video they"ll be super stoked on. If this sounds like you, consider using our Video Editing Service to get a professionally made video of your GoPro adventure at an affordable price.

Everyone loves a GoPro camera, and no doubt it"ll be a top seller this holiday season. But this year there are even more GoPro models to choose from than last year! So we put together this quick guide and comparison table to showcase the differences between the new GoPro Hero6 and Fusion versus the older Hero5, Hero5 Session, and Hero Session. This should help you make an informed buying decision and find the best GoPro for your needs (and budget).

The new GoPro Hero6 is this year"s top of the line (full sized, non-VR) GoPro camera with 2x the performance of the Hero5, improved image stabilization, enhanced QuickStories, Touch Zoom, and 3x faster offload for transferring your photos and video via the 5GHz band. As far as improvements to image and video quality go, the Hero6 can record at up to 4k60 video resolution and take photos at 12 megapixels and 30 frames per second. It has improved color accuracy and exposure to retain more image details and preserve real-world color, as well as better low-light performance with a higher ISO than previous models (which also helps to reduce blurred shots). The Hero6 now supports exposures of up to 10 seconds in automatic mode, where the Hero5 was limited to 2 seconds. And the Hero6 has a faster frame rate of image processing, so it"s able to shift from dark to bright regions significantly faster. Last but not least, the Hero6 boasts improvements to Auto White Balance capabilities for more accurate automatic scene detection and a new feature that enables automatic detection of underwater scenes (you can take down to 33 feet). Although it looks almost identical to the Hero5 (probably a good thing because you can share accessories), the Hero6 comes packed with enhancements to its photo and video capabilities – which is where it matters – and still comes with features you expect like Wifi, Bluetooth, voice control, a touch display. And of course it"s waterproof up to 33ft.

The GoPro Hero5 boasts a 12MP camera and up to 4K resolution video. Although outperformed by it"s Hero6 big brother, this camera is still a great buy with its built-in waterproof capabilities (no case needed), one button controls, Wifi + Bluetooth auto-upload capabilities, wind reduction, voice control, video stabilization, touch display, location capture, and the ability to capture RAW + WDR Photos. The Hero5 was the premiere version of the GoPro last year and still a great buy this year too.

The Hero5 Session is almost identical to the Hero 5 in specs, except in a smaller and more compact form – which may be a big plus if size matters to you. The Session only offers a 10MP camera (instead of a 12MP on the Hero 5), but like it"s big brother, handles up to 4K video. Other than camera resolution, what you"re sacrificing for a more compact size is a touch display, location capture, and ability to capture RAW + WDR Photos. Also note that if you"re looking for compatibility with the GoPro Karma Drone, you"ll need to go with the Hero5 or Hero6 because the Sessions are too small.

With the Hero Session you still get the benefit of a smaller and more compact camera compared to the Hero 5/6 and traditional GoPro models, but you lose a few key features like voice control, video stabilization, and the ability to auto-upload to the cloud. Additionally the Hero Session only offers an 8MP camera (as opposed to 10MP on the Hero 5 Session) and 10 frames per second burst mode (as opposed to 30 FPS). For the smaller price tag, you"re also sacrificing 4k video, as the Hero Session only records up to 1440P30 video resolution.

GoPro is as much a lifestyle brand at this point as it is an action camera, and some travelers are just looking for a quality and affordable sports & action camera and can sacrifice the GoPro name for a less expensive price tag. For that reason, I"ve also created this list of Best (And Cheaper) GoPro Camera Alternatives which you should check out to see some comparable action cameras that are less than half the price of a GoPro.

In my opinion, this is one of the key features of the GoPro cameras and it shouldn’t be overlooked. Yeah, I know … I don’t read the manual of all the gadgets I buy either, but you want to nail this one down.

I’ve literally browsed through hundreds of hours of GoPro videos that I edit for customers and trust me, I know that the Field of View can make or break a scene.

So the GoPro Field of View is a setting within your GoPro camera that allows you to select between different zoom-in levels. Obviously, when you zoom in, the actual amount of the image will start to get cropped.

GoPro does that through the Field of View. But instead of using the lenses to do the zoom, it actually crops into the sensor to change between different FOV options. So the quality of the image and the resolution will be the same.

You can find the FoV option under the Resolution and FPS menu, or, starting with the GoPro Hero 4, you can simply double-tap on the LCD screen to change between different FoV options.

Obviously, the quickest and easiest way to zoom in with your GoPro is to use either the Medium or the Narrow Field of View options, depending on how much you want to zoom in.

So basically the Superview option will allow your GoPro to capture more of the vertical action. It actually combines the 1440p which has that ugly 4:3 aspect ratio but captures more stuff on the vertical, with the 1080p format which is great because it’s wide but doesn’t capture that much of the action on the vertical.

Since we’re at it, for this kind of scene – in which the subject stands still in the center of the shot for the whole time, you want to use something called spot meter. It’s a very useful GoPro feature that allows you to set the exposure based on a specific area in the shot (e.g. your face). It will make a ton of difference in image quality. Give it a try.

If you are interested in finding out the exact angles each FOV setting uses you can check out the GoPro official website for this information. I think the actual degrees don’t vary that much from one model to the other when using the same FOV setting.

Keeping with the retro trend, Jolly also recommends this jukebox that is giving us a serious dose of nostalgia. It features both AM/FM toggles, Bluetooth connectivity and an auxiliary input if you"d like to connect your devices manually. While its LED light display is another feature Jolly loves, she says the sound is also "surprisingly good" for its price.

This Chromebook does double-duty as both a tablet and an "ultra-portable" laptop, according to Jolly. She says not only is it lightweight, but it is versatile and can be used for both work (thanks to the included keyboard) and gaming. According to the brand, it is the first Chromebook with an OLED full HD touchscreen display, which makes for a better viewing experience. Plus, the battery can last for up to 15 hours on a single charge (and it can charge back up to 80% battery in just one hour).

If they don"t want to carry a camera, these high-tech shades make for an innovative way to capture photos and videos hands-free. Not only do they feature a camera, but the built-in speakers and touchpad also allow you to listen to music or take calls while you wear them. According to the brand, the glasses can capture up to 30 videos or up to 500 photos per full charge, which typically lasts for up to six hours with moderate usage. For those worried about privacy, Jolly says the glasses feature a light that comes on when the camera is enabled, so others around you can tell whether you are snapping photos or videos, too.Best tech gifts under $50

Digital photo frames are a great gift for those who don’t have a lot of room to display pictures, but still want their family and friends displayed. This frame has a 10-inch touchscreen that can display over 10,000 images and videos.

For those on the go, the GoPro HERO10 in black is a must-get. The camera can take 5.3K60 and 4K120 video resolution and 23 megapixel photos. It’s waterproof up to 33 feet and automatically uploads footage to the cloud while charging.

The latest Apple Watch is the Series 7, which has the largest display yet on any model. With the new watch, the display is always on so there’s no need to raise your wrist or touch the screen to check the time or any of your fitness goals.

These cameras are coming out so fast. The testing of their latitudes and weighing their pros and cons is a daunting task. I have started to rely on some waveforms as well as false color recently and I have to say, the waveform does nothing for me. The false color is everything — finding a monitor that I can trust and count on to deliver what I see on the 24” will be conveyed to the 60’ movie screen. The DM 250 is an OLED display that is crisp, clean and delivers beautiful blacks.

We start this second part with a close up of the Blackmagic Smart Videohub 20×20. What I love about this router is the little built in LCD screen so you can see all your connections and select it with a spinning knob on the panel. You can effectively route your video simply by looking at the video and can connect and route any combination of SD, HD and Ultra HD video, all on the same router, all at the same time.

Now, let’s see it in action on our Rim Of The World tests. You’re going to see we have our Blackmagic Mini Panel and DaVinci Live Grading on our Macbook linked up to our Flanders monitors. This is so we can match our cameras using split screens whilst we are on set as well as color grading the image coming through so the Director can see pretty much EXACTLY what he’s going to get whilst we are on set. It’s a huge advantage and a giant leap forward for our industry.
