The GoPro Mission 1 is an almost perfect release from GoPro, after owning it for a month, I have some thoughts on what it does right and where it can improve. What do you think the Mission 1 does right, and where would you like to see the camera improve through firmware updates or future iterations?

After watching ChrisMeetsChris’ video mentioning Mission 1’s newest GP-LOG2 LUT — created by Abe Kislevitz — that brings the cinematic look from the normal preset over to GP-LOG2, I thought I’d test it out in Vancouver during the Sweden vs. Canada chaos in Vancouver last week. I have to say, I’m loving the range this log format gives you, and I think it’s a pretty decent starting point for a grade.

Have you tried the LUT linked below? If so, how do you think it compares to the release LUTs?

I’m new to the action camera world and I need advice on what size and speed of SD card. I’m only using it for my upcoming honeymoon and future trips. Nothing extreme.

Do I need a fast card? Or would anyone do for sightseeing videos? The camera I bought is a DJI Osmo Action 4 Standard above. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TY.

Hi all, debating what to do.

I want a good action cam for trips with the kids — to compile highlight reels of our adventures. Nothing too crazy: zoo, parks, go-karting, that kind of thing.

Right now I have a Hero 7 with three OEM batteries from 2017/2018 and one aftermarket battery. They're all showing their age, so I'm after something that lasts longer between swaps, plus a bump in video quality.

The Osmo Action 4 Essential bundle is on sale for $189.99. It only comes with one battery, but that single battery probably outlasts a couple of my aging Hero 7 cells. Still, it's only one. The newer cameras (Ace Pro 2, Osmo Action 6) come as two-battery kits on costco.ca, but for about 2.5–3x the price — current-gen camera plus two OEM batteries.

If I go with the Action 4, an extra OEM battery later is ~$50. Otherwise I'm stuck with aftermarket cells (2–3 for $50, questionable quality).

So my questions:

1. Is the Action 4 a big enough upgrade over a Hero 7 to be worth it right now?
2. If my Hero 7 batteries finally die, I could just run it off an external battery pack and be careful around water as a stopgap — does that buy me enough time to wait for a clearance deal on a newer multi-battery kit from Costco?
3. Basically: is the image quality on the Action 4 that much better, or should I wait it out?

Thanks!

After using the Mic Pro for several weeks on the latest firmware, I created this video to give an honest review of the Mic Pro in various recording settings. I include untreated indoor tests, windy bike tests, and outdoor tests in a nature reserve with straight out-of-mic raw audio, as well as Davinci Resolve processed audio. I hope you like this one, as I dedicated quite a few days to its production. Anyway, thanks for your time.

Livestreaming to YouTube and other platforms like Twitch and u/Tiktok using the DJI DJI Australia and New Zealand mimo app can be a challenge.In this video I feature Restream , an easy to use Livestreaming platform, and answer u/dji livestreamimg questions i have received from my youtube community.

I'm thinking about buying an ND filter for my Go Pro Hero 13 Black but idk if i should get an Variable or a set of ND Filters. Switching the ND's all day could be pretty anoying but i'm not sure if a Variable effects the quality. Any experiences and recommendations? Thanks in Advance!

Hi there, I am looking for an action camera with the following specs, anyone got any recommendations?

-Accurate Date & Timestamp on videos, down to seconds

-Able to set date and timestamp easily, including seconds

-can be powered by an external USB battery

-weather resistant without being sealed inside a clear case muffling the sound

I currently have a Sharper Image 720p that kinda does what I need and it can be powered by external USB power bank. However, the video quality is low, it has a low limit on storage card size, and the timestamp is not accurate down to the second.

Looking for something I can deploy reliably in field settings since I have multiple instruments that are all time-synced.

Thanks
