r/gopro

Can someone suggest a way to mount go pro (hero 12) on the helmet so the camera is centred ???

I know it's an older camera, but the Hero5 Black is a venerable little beast of a platform... and I've managed to finally get SSH, console, and I'm working on USB video streaming/webcam OVC support.

For now it needs a Windows/MacOS/Linux desktop app. There isn't a TON of RAM available in the Hero5 Black and I have to be super light weight about what I add in there. When it's not being used, 'dropbear' ssh is turned off to save memory. But my intention is to get a USB networking + lightweight webserver in there to do the same debugging and control.

I'll never be able to bring it up to parity with everything the modern GoPro Hero cams can do, but my short term goals are:

• USB tethered webcam ( no more WiFi ridiculousness )
• Manual control for camera parameters via the app
• Stacked exposure mode for astronomy, and for "night shoot" style modes
• Motion-lapse / Trail-cam ( detect motion to snap short video segments / exposures )

All clips were shot in 4:3 4K 120fps ; ISO & SS - auto ; GP Log2 ; Bitrate - max ; NR & Sharpening - low

on the ILS + 7Artisans 10mm F3.5 + KF shimmer diff filter

GP log2 was transformed into Flog2C and graded with the Acros (official monochrome lut from Fuji)
