Go Pro tips and tricks

[WallaceMFG]

I've used my hero 3 Black on my dirtbike a lot. One thing I've noticed is that on rougher terrain having a higher frame rate can make the videos not look good. I'm sure on a smooth surface like pavement this probably isn't a problem, but you never know.

I usually run mine at 1080p @ 30fps, which consistently gives good videos, and I believe that is the resolution and frame rate that the camera defaults to.

The app is great for being able to see what is in front of the camera. I hate it when you think you're going to have a cool video, but then when you watch it you can hardly see what's going on. Also being able to control the camera through the app is nice, it can definitely make up for not having a remote.



The GoPro Cineform studio is pretty good at editing videos, but being free it doesn't have too many extra features. If you're a big time video editor, you'll probably need to invest in better software.
