I did not see the price for the new model, but I see a PRO in the name, usually it means a bump in the price, waiting for news

The AOI Housing is 1500$, I don't think is comparable for having the feature in camera, and not considerable a workaround.

I think the focus peaking is just a software thing, it just compare where there is more contrast in the image. It is useless when the GoPro is used without any lens, but for who uses existing third party macro accessory, it would be a good feature, since the shallow depth of field. We will see if they decide to block the feature behind the GoPro 13 paywall, with only GoPro accessory, for now there is no new standard or Labs firmware update for GoPro 11/12, and there is still no GoPro Labs for GoPro 13.

Another video, I got the answer, bad news:

Another sofware update.... and i bet they will have an excuse to not bring it to the previous model, even if the processor is always the same...

I got 3 of the inon wet lens, really a good improvement

The thermal design and battery duration is for sure improved

If you watch 4k content on a 1080p monitor, you can't see the difference from a 4k video to a 1080 p video, the same here, 18.7k on a 4k monitor, you can't see the difference, even more since it is uploaded and compressed by vimeo. But the original file must be BIG, the advantage is that you can crop a lot without losing quality.

Thanks! I know about the ace pro issue, if I change from GoPro, it will be in some time, probably AcePro 2, Dji 5, and maybe GoPro 14 will be on the table, for now, I am happy 😁

I don't know much about battery, but they also added a pin on it, probably to better control for heat or something, and if this is the case, and this change bring a real improvement in thermal management, it could be justified. Imagine of they did not reverse it, and people seeing the same external form factor, try to jam a 5 pin battery inside a 4 pin receptacle. This if they changed it for a good reason, still, there is also the other possibility, where they just added a random pin, to make us pay more for newer, costlier accessories. At least they kept the same form factor, but I dont know if they will keep it forever, it's since Gopro 9 that they mantain it, while before it lasted less time. Probably it will be the cost of a new sensor/processor implementation.

For the low ligth it's clear the rankings, 1st acepro, then dji and last gopro, even the stabilization just stopped working. The same youtuber made another versus video, but in normal ligth, and there the difference was hard to spot. I am bound to gopro for now because I got the Inon bayonet mounting system, basically, like you @Davide DB, I am still with them for accessories support, but this month, AOI, should present their bayonet system compatible with AcePro and Dji. Two of my friend, already bougth the AcePro, and they are just waiting for this accessory, and I am keen to see the result footage too, hoping the transition is seamless, and the different and bigger sensor does not introduce other issue.

What do you think about the new GoPro now that is out? As a GoPro 12 possessor I am a bit disappointed, since all the improvement, except maybe the new bigger battery, does not change or improve the underwater use, and the hoped upgrade on the sensor or processor didn't come. Even the new cooling feature should not matter a lot underwater, since we use the best watercooling avaiable 😁 What do you think? Will you upgrade?

I know that aspect ratio suck for wallpaper 🫤 And even shooting high resolution, when cropped, if it's not a very sharp photo, it start to lose quality fast 🥺 @bvanant thanks for now!

@canislupus probably I have mistaken the focus light with a very narrow light beam, but for sure the DL07 does not have a narrow beam, but a pretty large one, and pretty powerful when near the subject, even on medium, I hope you can make it fit your need 😁 Still a good light for the price! If you want il send some video or pic of the beamof the DL07 on a dark room

Like the title, I would love if someone could share with me via mail some crisp underwater picture to use as my wallpaper, i searched online but with that dual QHAD resolution (5120x1440) a lot of image lose their magic when i use them. Thanks in advance to who will respond!

I did not get those, but looking at the spec, you could try one of these: Wurkkos DL20R ~37€ with a 15° spot main light and 66° flood ring Wurkkos WK20S ~36€ with a 25° spot main light and 78° flood ring Wurkkos DL16 ~35€ with a 11° spot main light and 73° flood ring

I got 4 torches from wurkkos: 2 DL07 as video ligth to use with the gopro (50€ each with 1 battery 26650 and charger) 1 DL70 as main ligth, (60/70€ with 2 battery 26650 and charger ) 1 DL61 as backup main ligth, a bit less strong than DL70, but a bit warmer ligth and more uniform (60/70€ with 2 battery 26650 and charger) All of them performed really good, and a lot of people in my club bougth them because they are pretty high quality for the price. I got first the DL70 and one of the DL07, and i did around 80 dives with no problem, finishing without problem 2 one hour dive with one charge, leaving the torch on on medium setting, and ramping it up when needed. Here the main selection of diving ligth they have: Diving light (wurkkos.com)

I suggest you to just take normal video and then extract the frames you are interested, and generally avoid use the gopro for taking still, in my experience, GoPro shine with video, and pretty much sucks with photo. But if you still want to take photo, you can try to use the burst option, and you can set how many photo to take in how much time, like 60 photo in 10 seconds, or 10 photo in 3 seconds. To take 5 photo in 15 second, as you asked, just press the button every 3 second when you like the action you see Ps: my profile cover photo is extracted from a video made with GoPro 11 and a macro lens, just as an example for the quality you can expect

For Raja Ampat, I stayed at Augusta Eco Resort, was a really good week, every dive there was something new, we were followed by Marco, the owner, and one of the dive guide. The owner are italian, and they work with a lot of local empolyees, and everyone was really good and professional. The diving, by standard, plan 3 dive a day, but on request, and based on the weather forecast they organize day trip with 2/3 dive and visit to the near island, or night dives on the house reef. From my italian point of view, food was ok, neither bad or stellar. If you don't plan a lot of diving or snorkel, the island where the resort is, has not a lot to offer, except silence and relax, since there is no other building, and you can walk around the island in about 30/40 minutes. By night you can find some coconut crab roaming around the island.

Inon replied to me that the novus product would not work because the dome it's not just acrylic, but it has also a coating layer, that would be stripped away during polishing. I don't know how bad the lens would be after total or partial removal of this coating.

I sent to you on pm the list of authorized repairs shop for inon, from their website, but a bit too late, since you already sent the lens. To open the lens, is pretty simple, you need to unscrew the 4 little screw of the lens hood, then there is another even littler screw, you need to remove it. After that, you can open the lens like a jar, with the outer metal part that unscrew from the main body. This metal ring, is what keep the outer lens in place.

Some video from last weekend in Croatia! The night dive help me a lot with the colour balancing, I love have only the torch as source of light 😁

Wurkkos USB Charger 2 Slots 18650 26650 16340 26650 Rechargeable Battery Universal Charger Charger for battery I use this bad boy for charging my 26650 battery, and support also 18650, super cheap, and if you get one of their torch, it comes with the package, if you select the option with battery. Got it for 3 years, still going.

Thanks, and nice shot on the blue ring octopus, I noticed that there is another camera in the shot, there were 2 stacked divers 😁? By the way, I already got the G55, and did some test: INON G55 and color correction test 2 Pretty good image quality, but a bit harder to mantain focus on the subject
