That landscape shot is nifty, but I don’t see the value otherwise. Although I do hate how the GoPro turns straight trees into bananas, but I only really pay attention when there is no riding.
8:26 I notice the distortion 9:07 same here. 9:26 Definitely looks steeper I agree, but still distorted. 11:13 To me all of these have too much distortion. You sohuld test L+ mode, I guess that's Linear + extra linear, nobody has shown this yet, only in the menu, so I know it exists, L (Linear), also Linear moder for MaxLens Mod 2 ( in new latest firmware), I've only seen this showcased in one video so far, and it wasn't MTB video just a person in an alley. Would be nice to see how that compares, as I hate distortion in riding vids, I have a no distortion ens on Hero 7 Black, so my footage looks much better when it comes to representation of the trail, but quality wise it doesn't. But I want the better image quality and bitrate of Hero 12. And blacks look really good on it. If the lens correction is good enough then I will buy it for sure.
@@MTBMcPhee oh sweet :) Yep domed lenses are the devil, you've got to be soooooo careful with them. On the upside, it takes a lot of scratches before you can actually see them clearly in the footage.. you should see my 11's lens after I filmed a shot of my welding from about six or eight inches away....... The native landscape shot is pretty sick, I think you MIGHT be able to get a similar result on an 11 by shooting in 4:3 and cropping/squeezing later (I'll try at Cooma this weekend), but it's a lot more work... being able to do that in-camera ALMOST convinced me to make an otherwise unnecessary upgrade 🤣
I thought you might of got a 360 with those funky angles whippy things in your narra video haha. With the 9:16 setting, does the camera still sit horizontal?
