GoPro HERO5 Black

• The phone app is really useful for display preview, control, settings etc.
• Supports clean HDMI out:
  • Go to the settings (pull down) and set “HDMI output” to “live”.
  • The back display turns off.
  • The FOV is really wide and it doesn’t support dark environments too well.

GoPro HERO10 Black

• Needs the Media Mod (physical frame with mic, connectors and accessory rail) for HDMI output. This started with HERO8.
• Can not record with both the battery inserted and a charger connected (impractical for e.g. timelapses).
• Requires a proper phone charger, if not it will simply refuse to charge/stay on.
• The phone app is really useful for display preview, control, settings etc.
• Supports clean HDMI out:
  • Must use the Media Mod for the actual HDMI port.
  • The back display turns off.
  • The FOV is really wide and it doesn’t support dark environments too well.
  • Other recommended settings:
    • Video mode: Highest Quality (for more appropriate resolutions etc.)
    • Resolution/etc.: Doesn’t actually matter for live output.
    • Lens/FOV: Whatever fits, but narrower means digital zoom and reduced quality.
    • HyperSmooth: Standard or off
    • White balance: Auto
    • Color: Natural
    • Media mod: Front (capture audio in front, using media mod mic)
  • When connecting HDMI (without Labs):
    • It starts in the gallery meny, press mode two times and capture once to exit.
    • To hide the HUD, press mode four (ish) times to mark the blind eye, then capture to select it.
  • Labs variant:
    • Go to gopro.com/labs and follow the instructions for how to install the Labs firmware on the camera.
    • If the app asks to upgrade the firmware, don’t. It will overwrite the Labs firmware with the normal firmware.
  • TODO Clean output?
