    I've been using GoPro Labs for only a short while, thanks to one of your previous videos. I use the Overlay/Burn-In lab to place a date and time stamp in the video, and the Large Chapter lab so the recordings are in fewer 12GB files which I find are simpler to manage and edit than the default 4GB files. I plan to test more of the other features after watching this video, especially the EXPS and FAST labs

    Thanks for this.Even the forums gave the wrong info to disable a single preset. I only use my gopro 12 for streaming so I am playing with the rtmp and join presets so by rights, I will only need to scan the code without using the phone app. I also like the tusb so I can use a powerbank without the low power error and the clean hdmi is also great. Like you, I don't need camera settings. I do that with the camera however, being able to change ev comp while streaming is a bonus. Hopefully gopro will keep adding codes as we go along.

Is this available on the QR control Ap too or is it just the nine locations? Do I need to rescan the code every time the GoPro reboots or is there a way to keep the exposure lock location fixed where it was upon restart?

There is code DAUD that disable audio in video captures but I believe this only applies to recording and not live-streaming. One potential work around for this would be to plug in a mic adapter to the GoPro but not connect any mic to it. I believe this would accomplish the end goal.

    GoPro rookie user here. Will I be able to format my SD card once I already installed the Labs firmware in my SD card? I worry that the "UPDATE" folder would be deleted as well. What I usually do whenever I finish transferring my files to my computer is to format my SD card instead of simply deleting them. So a follow up question is, is formatting my SD card every time I want to delete my existing files good practice?

  • @GreatDayForAHike

    @GreatDayForAHike

    3 ай бұрын

    Both great questions. Yes, as soon as you have installed the firmware it is okay to delete the UPDATE folder or format the card. The firmware does not need the folder to be present on the microSD card to work properly. Yes, I consider it a good practice to format your microSD card at least once a month. I, like you, almost always format my microSD card after I have copies all files from it to my computer. This helps ensure my microSD card has maximum storage available before my next adventure and also helps prevent corruption of the contents of the card.
