Just tried the 1080p 60fps superview for the Hero4, looks like you are travelling at mach 2 speed. Trippy. Anyone has thoughts and feedback about vlogging on this setting?

you also have to consider how many people are watching this crap on their phone or laptop. No 4k there.

I have a gopro Hero 3 and can only get 60fps at 720p resolution.

A friend commented on my first motovlog to shoot at 1080p and even at the lower frame rate, should be better.

Any thoughts? Which is the preference if you had to pick? Frame Rate or Resolution?
I always figured a higher frame rate would be better when on a motorcycle due to moving quite fast, head moves fast (gopro is on helmet).

Run 1080p my friend it will look better!

1080 - 30fps !! (sometimes 60 fps)

Ive been running 1080p @ 60fps on my gopro hero 3 black now and seems ok for the most part.

And your battery?

That's a big factor a lot of people don;t consider with the higher fps. Even things like going into the shade of some trees or a mountain look a lot better at 30fps on the GoPro so it's not like you only get the benefit when riding at night.

Had no idea about this, I'll have to give it a try myself.

Yeah testing all the modes yourself is the only way to get an accurate idea of what's best for you.

my battery life difference running 720 @ 60fps or 1080 @60fps is minimal.

Switched to 1080p 30fps on my virb,

I prefer the look, Wish my drift didnt die when i selected 1080

I find 30fps greatly improves YouTube compression too, so win-win.
