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?
