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
@GreatDayForAHike8 ай бұрын
Those are both great QR codes as well. The overlay/burn-in is neat for specific use cases and I know a lot of GoPro users that love the Large Chapter feature.

Thank you very much for all the know how you shared in this video! Really useful, especially the EXPT Setting as I use my GoPro mainly for mountainbiking in the woods. I've tried it last weekend, but got overexposed footage when I got out of the forest. I understood the EXPT Setting as "do not go to a lower shutterspeed than 45 degrees of your current FPS" which would be 1/192 for me, but faster shutterspeeds should still be allowed. Am I wrong with this? I'll do a test tomorrow without biking and the activated ISO/SS display.

Hey - great video. I use GoPro labs and never knew about the extras drop down menu. I am not sure how I missed that! Question for you - I use the custom exposure lock settings on the website. 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?

@GreatDayForAHike5 ай бұрын
You’re welcome! Unfortunately, I don’t believe there is a QR code that makes this possible. 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.

QR codes will not overwrite other QR codes already scanned unless you do a different variation of the same code you’ve already scanned. Example: You originally did BITR = 200 but then you decide to change that to BITR = 150. When you scan it, this will update the BITR setting to 150.

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?
@GreatDayForAHike6 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.

Well it basically broke my hero 9. Wanted to make the highsight timeout more than 15 minutes, installed the firmware but during QR code generating I added command "!LRT:Y:1" because chatgpt said I need to. Well it was a totally false information, and now im stuck with the screen with "gopro labs beta firmware participation terms apply" text. It doesnt disapper, I cant do anything. Tried to install back the official hero 9 firmware, but had the same result without the text. So I see what the camera sees but that's all. It is also really hot, after being turned on for like 25 minutes I couldnt even hold it in my hand. Quickly took out the battery before it explodes:D So yeah, I guess that is the end for my camera.:/
@GreatDayForAHike2 ай бұрын
Yes, I find ChatGPT to be inconsistent in the accuracy of information in its present state. Manually reinstalling the GoPro stock firmware via the microSD card and then doing a full camera reset should return your GoPro to the factory state. If your camera still feels hot I recommend making sure you’re using a GoPro genuine battery and a recommended microSD card. Even though these aspects should not directly relate to the QR code you used from ChatGPT, if the battery isn’t genuine or the microSD isn’t a recommended card, either of these could have started causing a problem around the same time. I had that happen once with an older GoPro when I didn’t have a recommended microSD card.
