The GoPro App

I like to use my GoPro on the motorcycle, mountain biking, and on my dogs.  The girls (dogs) love to swim and wear the Fetch mount. The most common video resolutions and modes I use on my HERO4 Black are 2.7k for any first person POV, time-lapse mode for pics, 4k30fps for follow cam shots, and 720p240fps narrow is a fun one to use for any ultra slow motion shots that you want to have a more cinematic feel. My ah-ha moment with my GoPro came when we released the GoPro app. The ability to save photos straight from the camera onto my  phone was a total game changer.  It’s especially cool to pull photos from my camera, color them, and upload to social media all on my phone.  Very cool feature!

Carry the HERO everywhere, everyday!

GoPro is an incredible tool to capture all activities, but I really fell in love with the camera when I realized I was able to capture a photo of what I was feeling in the moment. Now I have my GoPro in my purse at all times. I primarily use my camera to take photos, so I would recommend using the time-lapse mode to get the best photos or 1080p30 while shooting video.

Time-lapse and 960

I love the water and to travel, so the first time I got to take this camera out in the water I had no fears if I was going to ruin it because of its durability. It was pretty awesome! I use time-lapse mode for all the activities I do. For fast paced activities I do a photo every half second, and for slower paced or indoor activities I will bump it up to 1 photo every 1 or 2 seconds. For video, I often shoot in 960 which is good for general shooting and not running out the battery life. I t may not be the best for our professional media magic but it does the trick for me!

Many global corporations have also started to more actively support IWD by running their own internal events and through supporting external ones. For example, on 8 March search engine and media giant Google some years even changes its logo on its global search pages. Year on year IWD is certainly increasing in status. The United States even designates the whole month of March as ‘Women’s History Month’.
