![]() ![]() The GoPro Hero 10 features a 4:3 format sensor, but most video these days is displayed in a 16:9 aspect ratio. ![]() With the Hero 10 so dramatically changed since its original launch, it’s worth taking a look at to see what else you can expect from the camera here at the tail end of 2021. Over that time, they’ve offered major firmware upgrades and even a post-launch hardware upgrade. However, GoPro hasn’t rested on its laurels over the past several months. Between its 5.3K 60 frames per second, upgraded image stabilization, and impressive cloud storage integration, it’s certainly the most powerful action camera available right now. Though it’s clearly an evolutionary update to the Hero 9, the Hero 10 goes far enough to offer very real advantages over its predecessor. When I reviewed the GoPro Hero 10 Black in September, I couldn’t help but heap praise on it. (GoPro has a page dedicated to spherical solutions.) On GoPro’s website, the rendered video can be viewed in various formats and resolutions, such as Rectilinear and Fisheye, and Full HD, 2K, and 4K YouTube viewing is only supported via Google Chrome, and you don’t get the full experience. The video then takes advantage of sharing solutions like YouTube’s new feature that lets users upload 360-degree videos. The footages are then edited using Kolor software, which stitches the videos together in order to create the spherical, panoramic content Kolor also handles color correction and rendering. To make the video, GoPro used a special rig that mounts multiple Hero cameras together into a position that captures a spherical picture the GoPro mobile app can be used to operate the cameras simultaneously. To demonstrate how Kolor works with a setup of multiple Hero cameras, GoPro created a 4K video, “Land, Air, and Sea” that allows the viewer to pan around a 3D-experience. The maker of the popular Hero action cams just acquired Kolor, a company that makes spherical media and virtual reality (VR) apps, like its 360-degree video player, Kolor Eyes (available for iOS and Android). Many of these products come from start-up companies, but now we can add a major force in the category: GoPro. Whether photo or video, spherical content lets you pan around, giving you a more immersive, 3D experience. ![]() GoPro: Land, Air and Sea - A Virtual Reality ExperienceIn the last two years we’ve seen several cameras designed to capture spherical imagery. ![]()
