I"ve decided that GoPro is really targeted for users with much younger eyes than my own. The small LED screens on both the camera and the remote are a challenge for me even with glasses on if I want to do significant changes to the settings of the camera on the fly. In fact, more often than not, I connect to the unit with my phone, so I can do these things with the app.
This combined with the desire to be able to see playback immediately and ensure I got the shot, made the Touch BacPac a no-brainer. You can easily playback anything that you"ve recorded as well as quickly change the settings all without having to take the camera out of the housing. The screen is the same size as the back of the camera obviously, and that"s just enough screen size to be VERY useful.
The bacpac is easily installed. Take the camera out of the housing, and the bacpac plugs into the slot on the back of the camera. Very easy, that"s all you have to do, the camera will see it and use it automatically. Although the bacpac does have it"s own on/off switch so you can use the camera without the screen on sucking down precious battery life.
The other part of the installation is you will have to replace the backdoor on your housing with one of the ones included with the bacpac. It does include one that is waterproof, so you can still use your gopro underwater even with the bacpac, and you can touch and control the bacpac underwater as well. Your gopro will look like it put on a bit of weight, but it"ll still work just fine with all of the attachments.
What"s the downside? Well there are two. One is battery life. It seems to reduce battery life by about 20-25% in my experience even if the bacpac is off. With it on, you"ll do well to see 50% of the normal record time. The other downside is you can only have one bacpac on the camera at a time, so you can"t use the battery bacpac in conjunction with the LCD. I suspect many other Hero3 users do the same thing I do, which is tote a pocketful of spare batteries if you need to shoot all day.
Despite the battery cost, I do recommend this highly. It makes it is much easier to see what you"re doing with your settings without having to resort to connecting the app. And you can see what you"ve recorded without having to go to a computer, which is also very valuable considering gopros are generally used out in the wild.
Make sure the GoPro is charged. Charge the GoPro by using provided USB connector and plugging it into a computer. You can also use the GoPro wall or automobile charger.
If the GoPro still does not charge, please use the microSD/Micro USB Port Assembly Replacement guide to replace your assembly. A poor connection inside the Micro USB port may prevent your GoPro from charging.
Older computers do not have the hardware to support HD playback. Ensure your computer can play the video by checking if it meets the GoPro Studio Software minimum requirements here.
You can have choppy video playback if you play the video streamed from the camera over USB. What this means is if you have the camera connected to a computer by the USB cable and you play the video from the files on the camera, without transferring the file to your computer, it can come out choppy. This is due to the USB connection not being fast enough to play the HD video back in real time. Before playing back a HD video, copy or transfer the file from your GoPro to your computer, then playback the video.
Updated - January 29, 2014 Whether you are just getting started with underwater image-making or a serious cinematographer, the GoPro Hero3 / 3+ is a versatile, fully auto HD camera, perfect for making underwater moments lasting memories and as a competent B-roll camera. While YouTube and the like have a gazillion underwater GoPro videos, most are, let"s just say, bland. We"ll share our tips and techniques for getting the best underwater images from your GoPro Hero3 / 3+. Preparing Your GoPro for Underwater UseFirmware and Memory Cards GoPro regularly updates the firmware for their cameras; so always make sure you have the latest, as it will help your camera perform more reliably. And while memory is cheap, don"t cheap out on your memory cards – GoPro has a support document with memory card recommendations for the GoPro Hero3 / 3+ cameras, as well as their other cameras, which can be found on their web site. Here are a few cards that we"ve tested that perform best in all GoPro capture modes: Lexar 32GB SDHC 600xLexar 64GB SDXC 300xDelkin 32GB SDHCDelkin 64GB SDXCLCD Touch BacPac and Anti-Fog Inserts For underwater shooters, the LCD Touch BacPac is a must have for framing your shots. The touch screen doesn"t work underwater, but can be used to set your jump settings prior to insertion into the housing. Never use the "Touch Door" or "Skeleton Door" that comes in the box with the LCD Touch BacPac. Use of either of these will immediately flood your camera or be the source of a flood while on a dive. The Anti-Fog Inserts, while a bit pricey, are a useful addition. Sealing your GoPro in a low humidity environment and use of these inserts will prevent your GoPro Hero3 / 3+ from fogging up on a dive, which can give you unwanted vignetting or the foggy look of a super soft filter. Batteries and O-Ring Maintenance Unfortunately, the battery life for these cameras is fairly short. The best solution is to have several, fully charged batteries on hand to swap out when needed. The batteries on the GoPro Hero3+ are dramatically improved adding increased capture time during a dive. Charge your batteries the night before, and the use of a third party, external charger will speed up the process. As with any camera housing, it is crucial to inspect the rubber seal for debris (sand, hair, lint etc.) and to ensure that nothing (like your anti-fog insert) is inhibiting the housing lid from obtaining a tight seal. GoPro Underwater SetupRecommended Jump Settings Our preference is to run the GoPro Hero3 / 3+ Black in 1080p 60fps wide mode, and sometimes in the 2.7K resolution 30fps mode. Here"s why: If you wish to slow down some fast action you"ve captured, the 1080p 60fps will allow you to put that footage into a 30fps timeline in your video editing software, and it will playback at super-slow motion speed. If you want to have the latitude to reframe your footage and crop in a little tighter, or run image stabilization on the clip, the 2.7K resolution can be used on a 1080p timeline. For the Hero3+ Silver edition, we prefer to use the 1080p 30fps wide mode (these cameras will run 60fps in 720p mode only and do not support any of the higher ultra HD resolutions). Turn Spot mode OFF to let the camera evaluate the entire scene for better exposures.Turn ProTune OFF, as this feature requires more work when editing in post.Joel Penner mounts his GoPro to the top of his SLR setup to capture "B-Roll" footage.Go Red! Color Correction Filters Topside, the GoPro cameras are a no-brainer for capturing pretty stunning, wide angle, HD footage in good lighting conditions. Underwater is a much different story, with the camera needing the addition of a red filter to help correct your images from being all blue or all green. Our red filters of choice are the Flip3.1 Filters from Backscatter Underwater Video & Photo, made specifically for GoPro Hero3. The Flip3.1 features a top flip filter as well as a side flip filter – you choose which filters you want to attach based upon your dive plan: SHALLOW Filter (5-20 feet), DIVE Filter (20-50 feet), DEEP Filter (50 feet+ with excellent visibility), or the greenwater filter. Flip3.1 color correction filters will bring back the vibrant hues in your GoPro underwater images at every depth. As part of the research and testing team for these color correction filters, we don"t use our GoPros underwater without them, and love that the three different red filters for blue water diving aid us in capturing vibrant footage at all depths. GoPro Underwater Shooting Techniques To see what the GoPro Hero3 / 3+ is capable of underwater, watch this recent video from Bonaire, using only GoPro Hero3 / 3+ cameras and Backscatter"s DIVE and DEEP Flip filters and video lights. White Balance and Adding Light The GoPro cameras perform optimally underwater when they have plenty of light. And since it is an all auto camera with no manual controls, you can"t tell it what white is, making the addition of red color correction filters absolutely crucial for your footage to pop with color. Using the DIVE filter and video lights captures true colors in photos and video. Here are some tips to get the best footage from your GoPro while in the water: Plan your dive and attach the correct color correction filters for your planned depths.Shoot with the sun at your back for the best color in your images.Compose your shots with a slight downward angle to achieve richer color and contrast for your images.While snorkeling, on the surface, there is no need for use of the filter. For depths between 5-20 feet, flip the SHALLOW Flip3.1 filter into place.For the 20-50 feet range, we always use the DIVE Flip3.1 filter with video lights. Remember, the GoPros perform better with good lighting conditions, so if you"ve got video lights, use them with your GoPro set-up too.Once you get below 50 feet, the DEEP Flip3.1 filter is the way to go. At these deeper depths, the quality of your footage will be totally dependent on how good the visibility is.Whenever possible, compose your scenes with a good amount of neutral sand or reef that doesn"t have a lot of green growth on it. This, plus your color correction filter, will help the camera find what is "white" in the scene, giving you truer looking hues in your footage.Avoid The Blurries and The Wobblies The GoPro cameras are the ultimate for capturing wide-angle action in a very small form factor. Underwater, they can capture a field of view of 127 degrees! The only limitation is its minimum focusing distance of 12 inches (8 inches for Hero3+). Frame your subject any closer than 12 inches (8 inches for Hero3+) and your footage will be blurry. And since it"s a wide-angle camera, the small critters are not a good choice of subjects- think subjects the size of a basketball and larger – divers, larger fish or schools, turtles, sharks, reef scenes etc. Since the form factor of the GoPro is so small, it is very difficult to obtain stable footage without mounting your GoPro to something else. If using your GoPro as your "B" camera, mount it to the top of your dSLR housing. Your strobe or light arms will act as outriggers, keeping you steady. If solely shooting GoPro, mount it to a two handled tray system that supports the use of video lights and keeps your capture stable, like Backscatter"s GoPro Double Handle and Tray. Two handles provide much needed stability when shooting GoPro underwater. Adding video lights to your GoPro with Flip3.1 color correction filters will make your video pop with vibrant color. Keep your arms rigid and let the action come to you, or fin through your scene. Mounting your GoPro to a tripod for use in sandy areas or reefs where no damage will occur is another great option for capturing stable footage. Select the spot where you"d like to set-up your tripod, start filming and retreat from the scene for a short period to capture those critters" natural behavior. A tripod for your GoPro is another way to capture stable underwater footage.Taking Underwater Photos with the GoPro The GoPro can take great photos too! In the photo mode, the GoPro Hero3 / 3+ takes still images with a resolution up to 12 megapixels. However, since it is a fully auto camera, it chooses ISO and shutter speed based upon lighting conditions. To obtain vibrant photos underwater, follow these tips: Attach the appropriate red color correction filter(s) for your dive plan.Shoot with the sun at your back.If you have video lights, use them deeper than 10 feet. The best results come from the brightest lights.Make sure your subject is 12 inches or more away from your camera"s lens for a sharp image.Be as steady as possible when depressing the shutter button.In photo mode, this image of a turtle was taken without a filter.Even though the GoPro has no manual controls, still images like this are possible with the addition of a color correction filter, lights and a steady hand.
The GoPro Hero cameras are a great choice for easy underwater video. Today, GoPro announced a new camera, adding touch screen convenience to their entry level camera lineup.
The new GoPro HERO+ LCD is now easier to use than ever, with a new touch screen and several features that help share your adventures at the fast speed of social media.
There are many different aspects to using a GoPro to film underwater video. At the Underwater Photography Guide, we have been building a series of GoPro tutorials to help you create the best video possible.
SAN MATEO, CALIF.(June 1, 2015) –GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRO), enabler of some of today"s most immersive and engaging content, has announced the availability of its new HERO+ LCD camera. Capturing life-like high definition 1080p60 video and 8MP photos, the HERO+ LCD features a convenient touch display for easy shot framing, settings control and access to an all-new in-camera video trimming feature. Like the entry-level HERO, the HERO+ LCD is built directly into its waterproof housing. The simplicity of this all-in-one design now combines with expanded features to make capturing life’s memorable moments easier than ever.
Rugged and waterproof to 131’ (40m), HERO+ LCD also includes advanced features like HiLight Tagging and in-camera video trimming to make it easier to identify and share your favorite moments. HiLight Tagging lets you mark key moments while recording and during playback so you can easily find them later, and the all-new video trimming feature allows you to create short clips in-camera for easier sharing without a computer.
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® connect the HERO+ LCD to your GoPro App-enabled smartphone or tablet for easy camera control and shot preview when your camera is mounted or out of reach. The GoPro App also allows for easy content sharing to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and more and combines with the new in-camera video trimming feature to form a convenient content sharing solution.
“HERO+ LCD illustrates that even as we push the limits of life capture with bleeding-edge devices like the HERO4 Black, we’re also focused on delivering accessible, high-quality capture solutions to anyone wanting to GoPro,” said Nick Woodman, founder and CEO of GoPro.
Whether you are a first-time user or a GoPro veteran, the HERO+ LCD is an impressive capture solution. It combines GoPro’s famed image quality, versatility and durability with WiFi connectivity, long battery life and touch display convenience in an all-in-one design.
If you’re looking for one of the best GoPro cameras, let us start by saying you’re making the right choice. When it comes to the best action cameras available, GoPro cameras are without doubt up there among the best.
But hang on, with so many models available, which one is right for you? The latest GoPro Hero11 Black, surely? Well, not necessarily. It’s not quite as simple as the newest one is the best for everyone.
Obviously, price is a big factor here, and many of the older models are now much more affordable than the newest ones. For your budget then, you might end up finding that an older GoPro is best. It also depends on the features you need. The GoPro Max, for example, offers 360-degree video, which is something not found on other models in the lineup.
Luckily for you, we’ve tested every GoPro still available to buy, so you’ve come to the right place for advice. In this article, we’ve rounded up the five latest models of GoPro, from the Hero8 Black to the very latest Hero11 Black, comparing their features, strengths and weaknesses.
The GoPro Hero11 Black has a large 1/1.9-inch image sensor with an 8:7 aspect ratio. This squarish format lets you capture expansive views, but more importantly, gives you much more flexibility when editing the video afterwards. In the GoPro Quik app, you can output your video in a number of formats, including the TikTok-friendly 9:16 ratio.
While the outside hasn"t changed from the Hero9 Black, the GoPro Hero10 Black sports a new and improved processor on the inside, which translates to video recording as high as 5.3K/60 fps, as well as 2K video at 240 fps, and 4K video at 120 fps. On top of that, it has a larger 23MP image sensor, and manages to shave off a tiny bit of weight.
While not the best GoPro camera overall, the GoPro Max does have a major point of difference from the others — namely its ability to shoot 360-degree video. Unlike most 360 cameras, the GoPro Hero Max has a small display on its back that lets you view what its cameras are looking at. We didn"t find it quite as handy as we"d expected, but the large display does make it easy to navigate and change the Max"s settings without having to use your smartphone.
The GoPro Hero Max also has a HyperSmooth stabilization feature, so your bumpy video will look nice and smooth, and image quality from the camera — up to a max resolution of 5.6K/30 fps — lives up to GoPro"s typical high standards. Plus, GoPro"s app is loaded with features, including the ability to livestream video from the Max.
With the GoPro Hero9 Black, GoPro not only took the criticism of the Hero8, but also added a much-needed feature: a front-facing display. This small screen now shows a live preview, making it much easier for selfie artists and bloggers to frame themselves in videos and photos.
The Hero8 Black was the first GoPro to have its mounting "fingers" built directly into the camera, which makes it a bit easier to attach accessories. You no longer need to use a case if you want to attach it to accessories, such as a tripod or helmet mount. Unfortunately, it also means that cases and lens adapters you had for older GoPros won"t work with this model.
GoPro improved the motion stabilization to make the footage from the Hero8 Black the smoothest we"ve seen from an action camera (until the Hero9 and then Hero10, at least), and the overall quality remains as great as ever. The Hero8 Black has also been updated to work as a webcam, and its HyperSmooth 2.0 video stabilization works with more video settings — though not as well as HyperSmooth 3.0 and HyperSmooth 4.0 on the Hero9 and Hero10, respectively. But for $279, it"s the best GoPro under $300.
While all of the best GoPro cameras (with the exception of the Max) share a similar design, there are a few differences, especially between the Hero10 / Hero9 Black and older models.
With the Hero8 Black, GoPro redesigned the camera so that the mounting "fingers" — used to connect the camera to GoPro accessories — are built directly into the bottom of the camera. This way, you don"t need to attach a case if you want to mount the camera to a selfie stick or some other device.
However, unlike earlier models, the Hero8"s lens cover cannot be removed; other GoPro models let you take this piece off so you can attach other lens covers, such as filters and the like. The Hero9 rectifies this issue and the Hero10 keeps the same layout.
All GoPro models have a rear display which you can use to frame your shot and adjust settings, as well as a front-facing LCD that shows your recording time, battery life, and more. However, the Hero9 and Hero10 have color displays on the front, which can also be used to frame yourself in a shot.
The GoPro Hero9 Black was the first GoPro that can shoot video at 5K resolution, albeit at a max framerate of 30 fps. The Hero10 ups that to 60 fps. Both the GoPro Hero8 Black and Hero7 Black can shoot 4K video at 60 frames per second, as well as slo-mo video at 1080p/240 fps.
One of the defining features of the best GoPro cameras has been electronic image stabilization, which goes a long way towards smoothing out shaky action cam footage. GoPro calls its technology HyperSmooth; hyperbole aside, it"s very effective. Newer (and pricier) GoPro models have more advanced versions of HyperSmooth.
If you"re taking really shaky video, though, we recommend the GoPro Max; because it"s a 360 camera, and recording everything around you, it"s the best at maintaining a level horizon no matter how much the camera bounces around.
We"ve got a separate guide to the best GoPro accessories, but if you"re still deciding which is the best GoPro camera to buy and just want an idea of how much extra you might need to budget for add-ons, here"s a brief overview:GoPro Volta: GoPro has just released this combined handle, remote, battery and tripod and we"ll be giving it a try very soon. The company claims it can triple battery life, while the remote functionality works whether it"s attached to a camera or wirelessly via Bluetooth. For $130, it looks like a great addition to a GoPro.
Mounts: You"re almost certainly going to want to attach your GoPro to something, whether it"s a helmet, a bike or a snowboard. Neewer makes an inexpensive (about $30) 50-piece kit(opens in new tab) that includes dozens of options.
Audio upgrades: Sound isn"t the GoPro"s strongest suit, but you can improve it by adding GoPro"s own Media Mod(opens in new tab), or an external microphone for as little as $40.
Batteries: You can never have too much juice — after all, you don"t want to be stuck halfway up a mountain with a dead GoPro. For $10 you can buy an extra battery plus a charging case(opens in new tab) that you can take on the go.
Of course there are dozens of other GoPro accessories, including waterproof cases and floatation devices, screen protectors, extra lighting, extra displays and more. Check out our full list of the best GoPro accessories for more.
Simply put: yes. Aside from being great action cameras, there are actually a few other things that GoPros can do. For a start, GoPro released software that lets you use the GoPro Hero9 and Hero8 Black as a webcam. Follow our guide to how to use your GoPro as a webcam for more details.
GoPro also launched livestreaming for its Hero10, Hero9, Hero8 Black, Hero7 Black and GoPro Max cameras. However, in order to use this feature, you must be a GoPro Plus subscriber, which costs $49.99 annually. The subscription also provides unlimited cloud storage of GoPro footage, no-questions-asked camera replacement, and up to 50% off GoPro accessories.
The only way to test a GoPro camera properly is to put it through its paces in the outdoors, so that"s what we do. We take it to a ski slope, or out on a bike, or to a beach, and we use it in the kind of situation anyone buying it would do. We also make sure to test it in a variety of lighting conditions, and to specifically evaluate features such as motion stabilization so we know how well it performs.
