Feature request : Night photo lightning trigger support .
I’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 it’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 I’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 doesn’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 I’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
I’m sure this works well for other GoPros but it’s frustrating that I have the latest GoPro Max 2 and can’t find the settings relevant for it.
The website allows me to set Camera mode to 360, but the app doesn’t.

Fantastic App!
Apologies for the late review.
I’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.

Sends my Hero 7 into spasms.
Highly NOT recommend. Sends my Hero 7 spiralling into all sorts of random stuff. I set a photo timelapse for shutter open 2s, interval 30s and it takes a photo every 3 seconds RANDOMLY.
