Rock_InhabitantWhat’s up with GoPro hate these days? I understand that the vast majority of GoPro users are holiday skiers who think they can put together a cool edit when they can’t ski for shit and don’t know how to edit. But I see tons of cool shots and entire edits sometimes shot on gopro. It’s really convenient to use for people who ski sick lines in the backcountry and wanna film it easily. I kinda wanna get one just to film my backcountry shenanigans or family ski trips and put together a cool edit. What are the thoughts
dopesnowenjoyerNot sure if you mean gopro in specific or action cameras in general but fuck gopros shit dies in 5 min in the cold
armchair_skierIf you want your video to look like an unskippable youtube ad use a gopro
If you want to look like a human dildo on hill wear a gopro
SurfinCowAt least the pov is still good to watch, insta 360 cams are the most heinous thing to come out of the action cam industry. Absolute dog water to watch something filmed on one
StaticWhat do you mean? You can adjust the exported framing to be any POV....Do you mean when it's in its widest 360 view? 360 cams are FAR superior to regular action cams because of the ability to adjust the framing.
hank.skiThere is no such thing as a camera that does everything. Gopro is the industry leader in the thing that it does, which is stable, high resolution, immersive point-of-view footage, in a portable and lightweight body. People who hate on Gopro either don't know how to use their camera correctly, or they want a different camera that does something else (which is fine, but if you genuinely appreciate cinematography, you should appreciate what Gopro enables that other cameras don't). The new enduro batteries last all day, they make a mount that charges your camera while you hold it, and you could put 10 extra batteries in your pockets and not notice the additional weight. There really isn't a valid reason to hate.
