GoPro Setting

[CAMELLA]

I bought a GoPro Black and was curious to know what others recommend for the settings? I plan to use it with the suction cup on the boat and to record the kids while swimming.

We use our GoPro Blacks in 1080 24fps medium or wide view.

24fps is the frame rate of films
30fps is the frame rate of TV

1080 24 looks great online.

If you shoot at 60 frames, the videos slows nicely when edited to 30fps.

One cools shot is right on the arch, facing forward while underway.

Use the GoPro app and built in wifi to control the camera. This way you can see what you're shooting.

(I own a production company and we use them all the time if you have any other questions)

You can remove the fish eye when you convert the video for editing in the GoPro software.

I've been setting my to 720p at 60 Fps. I need to upgrade my computer so it cuts down the processing time when I edit the video. Also I can't use full 1080 video on my iPhone. I would have to cut it down anyway.

Thanks I'm sure the fish eye is for underwater.
