Insta360 x3 is game changer for snowboarding footage, i've heard in September they will be releasing x4, i wonder what tech they're going to use there.
Definitely reluctant to buy another one after I had all of the same issues you described but with my GoPro Max. Even with the Enduro batteries, it just can’t take the cold. And I live in Arizona…
The 11 is actually a better camera. Just turn off the gps on the 11 and you have the same camera. The 12 is just a software change and they’ve eliminated any way to have gps data, a true step back. As a long term GoPro user I switched to dji osmo 4 and it’s better in every way, only complaints on the osmo 4 is the remote will only stay on for 30min if not recording and there is no option to stop that (something dji should update) and also newly found bug where if you format the sd card in the camera it won’t be recognized in a pc so always format in the pc. Insta ace pro is another good option and I think their remote is even better but doesn’t have same FOV as dji (neither does GoPro) and no removable lens which is dumb and can’t believe same mistake made after the feedback people gave on the hero 8. If GoPro doesn’t knock it out of the park this year with the 13 then they’ll be completely obsolete, no quick mounting, no fast charging, poor audio (similar to insta but Dji audio is on a totally different level), need to use 5.3k for hyperview which makes the file sizes pointlessly large instead of a large FOV 4k, no gps with no gps remote option. Just really took a back seat this year with the 12 vs other options.
I have the Hero 10 and love it, but find the battery life doesn't do very well in the cold. I bring a few spares in my pocket under my jacket to keep them warm (same w/ the camera when not filming/going up the chair lift). Do those black/white enduro batteries help a ton with the extreme hot/cold temps?
Nice video, I have a GoPro 12 and Insta Ace pro. I am going to sell my GoPro 12. Between the low light ability and app of the insta I feel like my GoPro is stuck in the early 2000s. While day light they both rock the GoPro lacks everywhere else.
Definitely! Your video quality is great and I'd like to copy it. Everything cranked to max or some things turned down or changed for good battery life and proper FOV?
Still using the hero 8 here and shoot in 1080p, didn't see the point of 4k if im uploading to youtube or whatever. Wouldn't mind the 12 for the better batteries in the cold
I know a lot of people will place their helmet mounts right on the brim of the helmet and that seems to get both the board and the terrain in view. I got an action camera a year back and for whatever reason placed the mounting point higher up on my helmet, right around where the most curvature is. I have a lot of trouble properly capturing both the terrain and my movement in my videos and find that in order to see my board I give up the terrain and in order to see the terrain i lose my own board so much that you couldn't even tell which I'm on. Any suggestions on how I could fix this?
The operating time of the 11 and 12 gopro does not differ if you turn off GPS in GOPRO 11. But it is impossible to turn on GPS in GOPRO 12 because it is simply not there. ENDURO batteries do a great job in the cold. This weekend I was riding at -25 degrees Celsius, and one enduro battery on my GOPRO 11 was enough for about 30-40 minutes. With cool greetings from Russia. The review is unreliable. The differences between the cameras are MINIMAL
The best way to dial in your angle is to experiment with it. Record a few seconds and then watch it back to make sure it looks good. Hyper view is nice for helmet POV
Which software do you use for editing the video? I tried it on my iPad with GoPro quick, but that doesn’t work good enough for me so I’m looking for other software.
