OLD STYLE! BAD LOOKING

Se ve muy viejo todo, como un programa de Microsoft 98. Deberian actualizar toda la interfaz, botones mas modernos y las tablas mas fluidas con mas color y visualizaciones futuristas.

Feature request : Night photo lightning trigger support .

Iโ€™ve been having a lot of fun experimenting with GoPro Labs on my HERO11. The amount of functionality hidden inside Labs is honestly impressive, and itโ€™s opened up creative possibilities I never expected from a GoPro. The QR-code workflow took a little getting used to, but once I started experimenting, I found myself spending hours testing different features.

One feature Iโ€™d love to see added or expanded is support for Night Photo mode with motion/lightning-style triggering. As a lightning photographer, my dream setup would be the ability for GoPro Labs to monitor for a lightning flash and then automatically capture a Night Photo long exposure when the trigger event occurs.

Currently, motion detection and triggering work in some modes, but Night Photo doesnโ€™t seem to fully support this type of workflow. Being able to combine the intelligence of Labs triggers with long-exposure Night Photo settings would create a unique tool for lightning, fireworks, and other transient nighttime events.

Overall, GoPro Labs is one of the coolest pieces of experimental software Iโ€™ve used on a camera, and I appreciate the work the development team puts into it. Thanks for continuing to push the platform in creative directions.

Response from developer

This is a question for Labs forum as this is not an app feature, but a camera feature. Please ask on the forum.

Be prepared

Easy set up beforehand no time wasted great way to be prepared

Not optimised for the GoPro Max 2

Iโ€™m sure this works well for other GoPros but itโ€™s frustrating that I have the latest GoPro Max 2 and canโ€™t find the settings relevant for it.

The website allows me to set Camera mode to 360, but the app doesnโ€™t.

Fantastic App!

Apologies for the late review.

Iโ€™ve been using this app professionally for about 3 years now and it has worked flawlessly! Seriously impressive work, especially keeping up with all the suggested functions.

It was a life saver on my last TV show.

My sincerest gratitude for you creating this app, AND keeping it free.
