I ordered this from Amazon based on your video, great video by the way! I will be using it on the end of a fishing rod, lowering it down around 90 feet deep, then observing schools of fish, structure, etc in the ocean. Is there a way I could view the video while doing this? If not, then is the best way to reel it back up, take out the card, insert into a laptop, and view the video that way? Thanks!

@DOUGandNIKI

Жыл бұрын

You should post those videos!

I have to ask what kind of microSD card (and its specs) did you get for the camera? As well as what settings you had for the video (resolution, ISO, etc.) because I just got a Brave 4 (because it's very budget friendly) but my video is coming out noisy/grainy.

@DOUGandNIKI

Ай бұрын

So, I almost always use Sandisk Extreme's for my microSD cards. I don't remember exactly what settings I used, this review was a while ago and I've tested/used so many camera's since then! I generally try not to do crazy custom setups when I do these because I think it's not really representative of what a normal user's experience will be so I normally leave it the way it was out of the box. Are you using yours in full light or low light?

I just got one. plan on useing it . for trail riding and mudding. prob clipped to my hat or useing a head mount.. may end up getting some mud on it. alreadyhave a idea how i can waterproof the remote.. id be happy doing 1080p at 30-60fps. but im a absolute noob to camera's

For me I just shoot it at 60fps and then drop that into a 30fps timeline and I'm at 50% speed. I use Premiere Pro.

Thanks for this video. I did have a question, does it have a USB C port so I could connect and power a wireless mic receiver? Or would I need a different camera? I've heard the GoPro's don't offer that feature but some others do but I can't find anything that talks about external microphones.
