Good and inexpensive stabilizer. Powered by two 18650 batteries (18350) and provides perfect video stabilization.

Device firmware is made throughmobile app, memory cardorPC.

Firmware via mobile application

To flash the camera through a mobile application, it is necessary that your camera and mobile device are paired via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the device must have access to the Internet not via Wi-Fi (since via Wi-Fi, a mobile device must be connected to camera) to download the current firmware.
App for iOS devices
Application for Android devices
The app for Android devices seems to me more capricious, but quite workable. There is a nuance: it is not installed on older versions of Android. I was flashing the old version and everything went well, while in the application I indicated that I had GoPro Hero 4 (5 and 6 are not in the application).
Link to the application
com.gopro.smarty_2.12.2116.apk(20.23 MB)

Flash Card Firmware

1. Download firmware bylink (current)or the version you need.

4. Insert the memory card into the camera.
5. Turn on the camera and wait for the message that the firmware has been successfully completed.
6. Remove the memory card from the camera and remove the firmware.
During the update, the camera will emit a series of beeps, the power will be turned off and on several times.
When the update is complete, a tick appears on the camera status screen.
Everything. Your firmware has been updated to the latest version.
Attention!!!If you want to install any specific version of the firmware, then download it exactly, and not the one that the link above. The link will always be the latest version.

1. Run Quick Desktop
2. Connect camera to PC via USB
3. Left click on the camera

FAQ

1. Why the computer does not start Quick?

There is no exact answer. Many people are helped by the demolition of the program, the translation of the system into English, the installation of the program, the launch of the program. After that, you can translate the system language into the familiar one and use the program.

2. My GoPro Quick is not authorized! What to do?

- Install version 2.0.1.4320 that comes with the studioTyts
- Login
- She herself downloads update to 2.5
- Download the latest version from the site and put it on top

The topic has been moved to the "Action cameras пїЅ.

[s35]

Bought today. Before that, gopro never existed. Is it exactly sealed? And then there are so many holes on the body ...

[psih999111]

Exactly. Microphones and speaker do not count.

[Lohophone]

I also bought a couple of days ago, and also had never had gopro before. While I found the opportunity to shoot at a narrow corner, I almost passed it back.

I did not think that I would have to become a topic-starter, I got used to the fact that for everything I buy, the topic is already there. And then a bunch of questions, but nowhere to ask ...

Plus, there is not just a narrow angle, but an FOV with no fish effect. Linear, in general.

[Newprog]

"FOV without the effect of phishing" is that what is called linear?

[psih999111]

NewProg,exactly.

[Lohophone]

Well, I would not say that fov is completely without distortion. Anyway, this is a very wide angle.

[tapochek_123]

I am also surprised that there is no topic about GoPro HERO6. I also look at her.
LohophoneI ask you to fill in the original video 4K 60fps. Also, in one of the reviews (on YouTube) I noticed that when the stabilization is turned on, the video detailing drops noticeably, but judging by the compressed YouTube is not true, I would like to clarify this point.

[s35]

Before this camera was Yi 4K. There was a separate video correction against the "barrel". Here while found the linear mode ...

[Globulopolis]

Does it make sense to buy the 6th or take the 5th.

[Lohophone]

tapochek_123 @ 03/10/18, 10:39

I ask you to fill in the original video 4K 60fps

I can not earlier than tomorrow night.

For me, in this camera 4k does not make sense, since the linear mode for 4k does not turn on, but there is no desire to watch 4k through the fisheye. 2.7k - the limit of possibilities for my purposes.

Immediately question to the experienced. Are there any normal lenses for this camera? Well, the type of fifty dollars to the camera? To put it and immediately shoot in 4k without distortion. Can there be any additional lenses?

[psih999111]

GlobulopolisIt makes sense to take the six, if there is no five. I had a treshka and I did not regret that I took the newest one. However, the price has fallen.

[tapochek_123]

Well, I'll wait for the originals, when it turns out then and fill in, the term does not matter. Ideally, you can do it in several modes for comparison - 4K, 2.7K and 1080, and if possible with different frame rates (from 60 to 240)
About optics - there are adapters for optics from DSLRshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii1baHrlm6M- but there will be a big problem with the widths
is for C-mount opticshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBWBtIxhhoc
There are ready-made lenses for example Pixaerohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuOYw9Ns6ZM- most likely these are easier to pick up for the angle and without distortion
It is necessary to google specifically for GoPro 6, but if you consider that the matrix size in all action cameras is about the same, then the problem can only be with the mount.
And yet - there are about 6 sprinkles, which means the 50mm lens from the SLR will be equal to 300mm

[Newprog]

And how bad are photos in linear mode?

[Lohophone]

tapochek_123 @ 03.11.18, 12:04

Immediately, a crop of about 6 means 50mm lens from a SLR will be equal to 300mm

Well, you understand what I said about fifty dollars, meaning the camera with a full frame.

P.S.
I watched a video about lenses. The first two options completely kill mobility. About the third video - this is the normal version. But only on the Internet there is information that the office itself makes only its own brand inscription, which increases the cost of glass by an order of magnitude. There is one caveat: the resolution of this lens is 5 MP. We should have more.

[tapochek_123]

C-Mount is quite compact, plus they usually have both focus and aperture. Pixaero as I see only focus, but it is more compact and there is a wider angle. I have a mirrorless camera and there is a C-Mount for it, optics from DSLRs, etc., but I haven’t dealt with Pixaero, I just read / looked in the internet. And the price of Pixaero is very expensive.
Objectives from surveillance cameras are also quite suitable, there are often matrices of similar size like action cameras. There even there are zooms, and the price is small, for the price of Pixaero you can buy them 5-10pcs and try all the options,
in the likeness of suchhttps: //www.aliexpress...d54dd88bebe7892b0ec6e4

On account of the resolution - of course there is poor-quality optics, but you can’t believe Chinese inscriptions either, it won't be confusing even if you find it with the inscription 24Mp. If you take a fixed lens, then the main thing is modern enlightenment and to search not frank china, but more or less well-known companies. In the topic about Yi 4K + I met a couple of links, if I find something I throw off here.
And in one of the reviews of Pixaero, I noticed such an inscription

For GoPro, replacement is possible with Hero 4 and Hero 3+. In GoPro Hero 5, replacement is not supported due to the hull structure.

tapochek_123 @ 03.11.18, 14:37

and there is a wider angle

I just can not understand why you need a wider angle? The one that is, and so very wide, even more than necessary.

While I found this option here. Painless and not very cumbersome. But it is not clear that the angle, although it is obvious that there should be less than without a lens.
