Other Go Pro HD shooting setting

[MES4888]

I was looking at some others vids and their shots seem alot wider than mine, now granted they might not be using a GO Pro. I have mine on setting 5 which is1080 i think, what do others use and what do you use to edit?


Thanks,
Matt

there prolly using the wide angle one

Can't remember what setting I use, but it's the least wide angle possible. But I mainly use it on my helmet. If the cam is on the nose area looking back at you, the wider angle may work better for you.

Thank you, anybody have any editing software they like

720 @ 60fps.

1080 @ 30fps is good, but 60fps is better despite the lower quality.

I use setting 3 on mine. I'm not a big fan of the fisheye-looking stuff.

I prefer the 60fps for editing

For most action sports 60fps 720p > 30fps 1080p

I've been using r5 because it's not as wide as the others which I think helps with the fish eye effect. Haven't really played with the other settings though. For editing I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio, but it wont work with .mp4 files so I have to convert it. I saw GoPro suggested Pinnacle Studio HD for editing with a pc so I'll probably give it a try.

r1 Wide Angle Standard Def 16:9 WVGA(848x480) 60fps
