Hero 3 frame rates
Does anyone have a comment regarding the best frame rate to select for a backpacking documentary (ie, where everything is being shot at a mere 2 miles per hour)? GoPro's manual seems to suggest that anything below 1080p60 should only be shot on a tripod.
Are images optimized at p60 and just too much motion blur is seen at 48 and 30 frames? Also, is editing problematic for 1080p60 with older Macbook Pro laptops using FCP 7? I'd use a lower frame rate if I could get away with it if for no other reason than how it hogs SD card storage space. |

I was afraid of that.
Do you happen to know if putting side by side shots done in 1080p60 with 1080p30 look strange? Can you tell the difference, particularly if the motion within the frames are low speed (walking at 2 mph)? |

The brightness may change as you will have half the amount of light coming in at 60fps as you would 30fps.

Re: Hero 3 frame rates
Will that only be noticeable under low light conditions? In other words, anything other than bright and sunny?

Re: Hero 3 frame rates
I would guess it would but it shouldn't be that hard to correct honestly. In my opinion and coming from $4,000+ cameras, GoPros SUCK horribly bad in low light and if you're getting good footage in low light, it's not low light, it's just enough light. And if you can prove me wrong please do, I'm tired of getting links to sample videos that either were not even shot with GoPro or that someone shot at 15fps to get more light but motion blur up the wazzooo.

Time lapse will get you, though, when every image is close to 5MB. I filled up a 32GB card in just over 2 hours.

For the majority of people, 1080p30 handheld will result in shaky, strobe-like footage. In the hands of someone who knows better, you will end up with footage that has smoother, more deliberate movement and the strobing will not be an issue. |
