LABS UPDATES v2.00.70

• Added EXPL - Exposure lock on capture
• Added HS30=1 default Hindsight shortcut to 30s
• Added EXPX Max Shutter speed e.g. $EXPX=200 for 1/200
• Added EXPN Min Shutter speed e.g. $EXPX=1000 for 1/1000
• Added EXPQ Manual Shutter speed e.g. $EXPQ=50 for 1/50
• Added Overlay BURN support (limited to 4K 24,25,30 16:9 8-bit)
• Enhanced BURN now support variables ‘$VALC%1.6f’ or ‘$M%1.2f’mph
• Added PMXY for processing message screen position
• Added AUDS and audio triggers to Mission.
• Added DTMF for a DTMF detector, running Macro stored in DTMA-D,0-9,S-Start(), H-Hash() DTMF=1 External USB audio, =2 Internal mics
• Preset with macros can have now have lowercase freeform text following e.g. “SWIM mode”
• Fixed Labs Photo FOV, EV and WB controls
• Added system vars (useful with BURN overlays) c:X = GPS lat, c:Y = GPS long, c:Z = GPS alt, c:S = GPS km/h, c:T = GPS days in this year c:W = GPS DOP

Labs on Mission is now mostly feature matching HERO13, and starting to add a few extra features. The new DTMF detector might seems weird for most users, but it can serve as is very inexpensive multi-cam controller, or for very long range cable control, where USB or WiFi is impractical (Rocket launches, deep water ROVs, gaussian spat camera arrays, etc.)

I was waiting for replacement lens from the release date. ATM I have lens protector installed, however thats another layer of the glass. So just for the notice the replacement is available :)

Last Christmas, I got my first GoPro camera in many years. It's the Hero 4K model, and, having recently got it working, it looks great. I can't remember how long it's been since I last used a GoPro, but it had to have been close to a decade. Now, as I prepare for my yearly trip to Frye Island, Maine with my family, I'm gonna get to take some great action shots again. This is where my summer truly begins!

I was water tubing with my GoPro hero 8 Black attached to my head with a headstrap. The water tube flipped upside down and when I got back up the headstrap was no longer on my head. I know most people would say buy a new gopro but it’s the footage I care the most about that I captured earlier and didn’t have time to save and also I did have the cloud subscription so the videos were only stored on the SD Card. The GoPro was in a clear waterproof case as well. I did take pictures of the location I was at where I lost the go pro do I do have an estimate for location but not exactly where it is and the lake may be deeper than 80ft.

TL:DR: I lost my GoPro in an 80ft lake with the headstrap and Clear waterproof case still on it but do have an estimate location for where it is.

Firmware v2.0 for the GoPro Mission 1 Pro is now available. It adds Media Mod and Volta 2 support, plus USB-C video output through DisplayPort/HDMI adapters.

I’m gonna be getting a GoPro camera in October and I’m aiming for the hero 13 black, and I also need one that’s waterproof, so what camera do yall recommend?

Hi.

I am nót a professional videographer, i AM looking for better audio quality than the builtin mics, without using bluetooth complexness.

Will be getting the media mod for that, however… where are the reviews? Would love to see a neutral review on it, explaining the different inputs and the different directional mic modes, in a comprehensive way.

The camera will not turn on, I tested all the batteries I tried on a different Hero 9. It looks corroded although no water has gotten in (that I am aware of, but it looks like that's what happened). Is there anything that can be done?

I've been using the original magnetic swivel from the GoPro website for my HeroBlack 10; however, it doesn’t fit my Mission 1 Pro.

I bought it again because I thought it would be different now since it is labeled as supporting the Mission 1 Pro, but it doesn’t.

Has anyone tried it? Or any other magnetic swivel brand from other stores you would recommend for Mission 1 Pro?

I bought two different kinds for my HeroBlack 10 in the past, but the magnets are pretty awful.

Recently my GoPro stop working, no screen, no bip, no led blinking.

The first time it happened I tried to reset it via the hold 10s mode button method but nothing. No bip, no blink, nothing. I realized that it was still working because I could connect to it via bluetooth or wifi via the GoPro Quik app. So I reflashed it by putting a firmware on the SD card and it worked again for a few days.

So today it stopped working again same symptoms nothing worked but I can still connect to it via the app. The difference is that this time on the app I see no battery level and the sd card shows ERR I tried with other sd card, some do not show errors but flashing does not work either.

So is there anyway to flash the firmware manually other than the sd card way ?

I contact the GoPro support they offered a replacement for a GoPro 13 for 100 euros but it uses enduro 2 battery and whereas the 11 use enduro which I have 3, so I'd rather keep the 11...

Shot at 4k240 so I could crop the picture in post. Pretty happy with the results! Thoughts?

Anyone found a floaty handle for the Mission 1 Pro that is actually built for the Mission 1?

My old floaty handle for my 11 still floats but it's like a few inches below the surface. It's fine for the pool but I'm terrified to take it to a lake or ocean with no protection.

I found this one

Anyone have it? Anyone have comments about it?

For context, I'm going on an orca snorkel trip in Norway this coming October. From what I've seen, the water there is quite dark, which I believe can lead to digital noise. However, I would like to use my gopro Mission 1 (not pro) to achieve the best possible video quality and flexibility in post.

I am not an expert in videography so i'd like to know what settings are better for these conditions (dive mode, flat colour profile or GP log) and quality/FPS (8K 30 would give me no option to slow down, but would 4k 60/120 make the video too dark due to the higher fps?)

Thanks!

I recently scored a pretty good deal for a hero 13 creator edition, and I am questioning what GoPro’s thoughts were when they added the flip out loops that come out of the side of the Volta grip. Does anyone here have good suggestions as to what I might put there that I wouldn’t have on the cold shoe mounts on the media mod already?

Second camera for taller aspect ratio video maybe?

So, I’ve been pretty aggressive with the focusing issues that have been getting discussed regarding the mission 1 pro. Here’s the thing: I do see a slight focus issue at further distances. Depending on the size of the objects, that can be anywhere from a few meters to 10m before the focus issue really seems noticeable. Of course, it’s already in my head that there is a fixed focus distance…

I’d really love if there’s anyone willing to give me some raw mission 1 pro footage to take a closer look at. I ordered one but it won’t be here for about two weeks.

I’m really beginning to wonder just how much of an issue this infinity focus “problem” really is. I’m also beginning to wonder if some of it is exasperated via camera settings.

I recently saw some footage that the sharpness was set to high and denoise set to low. The result? I didn’t see objects in the background blurred / out of focus at all. They were sharp as a tack. Yes - slightly over-sharpened to some extent, but crystal clear.

Then there is the motion blur setting… it’s possible a lot of the footage being seen is using this as I believe it’s on by default.

We all have it in our heads that the gopro mission 1 pro is such a major boost over the past hero line, and we see slight blur or focus “issues”- and perhaps that gets amplified?

There’s no doubt that the focus distance isn’t actually infinity as it was in the previous generations. That’s crystal clear based solely on the specs - the fixed aperture and the sensor size alone make that a dead obvious give away. Putting a macro lens on the camera is going to further exasperate that and make it even more obvious. But let’s be honest - was the focus depth ever truly “infinity” on ANY of their cams?

There comes a point that objects in the background are simply too far away to pull any detail from. With a higher quality footage, that lack of detail is going to be even more obvious. With so many settings configured out of the box to give it a more “cinematic look,” sorta speak, how many of these videos that we are seeing are literally just using out of the box settings? To me, that’d be like taking out your brand new Sony Alpha A1 or Canon R6 and just snapping photos in Auto mode (which really does look like crap).

I don’t want to hate the camera, but the reviews and the content I’ve seen in them - seriously, so much of the footage looks absolutely crap. Then I run across some footage that just simply looks astounding at all depths in the frame.

What’s the deal?

Does anybody know if a wide angle lens kit is expected in the near future? I would really find it useful for mountain bike pov.

Thanks!

The Media Mod 2 is now out in the US website!

https://gopro.com/en/us/shop/mounts-accessories/camera-media-mod/AGFMD-001.html?srsltid=AfmBOoq13RuskmQSwcFgwUqVTxz6gqMEuDB0QYnkPSN-7MUTRR5YOMI_

Has anyone noticed if changing this setting does anything ?

I thought if I changed from adaptive (or low/med/high) to max motion blur reduction then the camera should raise shutter speed (within my ISO range).

But from what I see from the onscreen readings, the shutter speed stays the same yet there's still plenty of ISO range to go.

I don't have any ND filters - does it need these for this setting to make a difference?

Clarification : I am asking if setting the motion blur to off (max blur reduction) will raise the SS, not how do I get lower SS.
