Comparison of GoPro Camera Models for Shooting Video
Each GoPro camera model offers a different selection of video features and functions and is capable of shooting at a variety of different resolutions.
Because the top-of-the-line HERO5 Black includes all of the video features and functions to be covered in this chapter, this is the camera model that I primarily discuss. Tables 11.1 through 11.3 describe the shooting resolutions, FOV, and FPS options available for the HERO5 Black, HERO5 Session, and HERO Session, respectively.
