At this point the battery on the Hero10 Black was running low, but the Volta was able to record the timelapse and top off the battery at the same time. So I attached the camera to an El Grande extension pole to hold it as far away from me as possible, while using the Volta as a wireless remote control to start and stop recording as the dog’s approached the end of the ramp.Īfter a short break, I used the Volta’s tripod to frame myself on the Hero10 Black’s screen and record a timelapse video of me attempting and failing a yoga class. I attempted to hold the Volta and capture the dogs jumping-or landing-in slow motion, but couldn’t get close enough to the action. There was a competition at some point, but if you ask me, everyone’s a winner when dogs are having fun.
Later that day, we got up close and personal with a dog jumping contest where over-excited pups would jump off a dock into a pool of water.
I wasn’t forced to decide when I should snap a photo or record a video. I thought it perfectly captured the moment, and I didn’t have to do anything other than have the GoPro on and recording at that exact moment. While the video is exciting if not funny to watch, I opted to save a single frame as a still image. At one point, a member of the GoPro team fell out of the raft and into the river, but we were able to pull him back in within a few seconds, all of which was captured on video. I opted to attach the Hero10 Black to my paddle using one of the available pole mounts.įor the next 20 minutes, a guide, myself and three other rafters went down the river, chanting and cheering as we navigated the rapids. It can, however, survive sitting outside during a light rain storm. We had to remove the GoPro Hero10 Black from the Volta because it’s not waterproof enough to withstand dunking in 40-some-odd degree water. The weekend started off with a whitewater rafting excursion where we were encouraged to attach the Hero10 Black to our helmets, paddles, life jacket or hold it in our hand as we floated down the river.

It has built-in Bluetooth that turn it into a completely wireless remote control.Ī fellow attendee of the Mountain Games told me at one point during the weekend “It’s like holding the power of Hollywood in your hand.” And while there’s plenty of hubris in the statement that also happens to be on the Creator Edition’s webpage on GoPro’s site, there’s also some truth to it.
#AUTOPANO VIDEO PRO 2 SYNC MOD#
There’s a light that sits on top of the Media Mod which is essentially a case that has a built-in microphone, and adds a couple of extra ports - USB-C and a mini HDMI - for connecting your own external gadgets like a microphone to the GoPro.īelow the camera is the Volta Battery Grip that not only can provide enough power for an extra four hours of 4K recording to the Hero10 Black, but it also acts as a tripod with two legs that fold out of the handle. When you look at the complete Creator Edition setup, it looks somewhat intimidating. As someone who lives in Colorado and absolutely loves Vail, I jumped at the opportunity to spend a few days in the mountains with likeminded people, capturing everything from axe throwing to whitewater rafting on a GoPro.Īt the end of the long weekend, I came away with a newfound appreciation for what GoPro is in its current form, and what it’s clearly trying to become with products such as the Creator Edition and what’s been hinted at coming later this year. And to prove it, GoPro invited a number of influencers, creators and a couple members of the media, including yours truly, to Vail, Colorado for the GoPro Mountain Games in early June. The Creator Edition makes it clear that GoPro wants to be viewed as a company with a camera that can do it all. One year of the GoPro subscription service.This bundle starts at $531.95 - a steep discount from $834.94 - and includes all this: However, with the release of the Hero10 Black Creator Edition, it’s clear that GoPro is looking to change the narrative. And as smartphone cameras continue to improve with each release, there's a compelling argument for the age-old saying that the best camera is the one you have on you. A blessing because there’s a definite need for tiny, ruggedized cameras perfect for filming movies, a day on the slopes or a morning of fishing on the lake.īut also a curse since it's easy for consumers to view GoPro as a company that makes cameras that aren’t for everyday use. GoPro is a company that’s synonymous with action cameras, and this may be both a blessing and a curse. The Quik app and GoPro Subscription are the Secret Sauce.
