Who here has a gopro?

[BigMotherTucker]

I have the hero4 silver and I see on youtube that some people are shooting in 720p 240fps. I dont have this setting on mine. I have the 3.00 firmware, so what gives?

Anyone have any insight?

Hero4 silver and black should have it unlocked with a firmware release that dated back to last year. Use the app to change your settings.

Make sure ProTune is off.

OK... I just tried that. No effect.

I don't think it shoots a true 720p at 240. You may need to be in WVGA. Looks like your firmware is old. They are at version v03.00.00.

Now if I set it to WVGA I can get to the 240fps. But everyone on youtube says theirs is at 720. I flashed my firmware last night using what was on gopros site. My current one reads HD4.01.03.00.00, doesn't this mean im running v03.00.00? Im honestly asking.

 

[aTotal360]

Probably so. Pretty sure what is happening is that it's recording at WVGA at 240fps natively, then the gopro app (or other NLE) is up-resing it to 720 during the export.

Confirmed v03.00

I've emailed their tech support. You're probably right. My problem is I don't use the gopro software on the computer. I like dumping the raw files in final cut pro.

I'll report back what they say. Thanks for the help.

Customer support update.

The silver does not have 720p 240fps
