Title: The Fat Cricketer Video's
Post by: Simmy on August 30, 2016, 04:23:57 PM
Our Saturday Skipper doesn't like the gopro as its unprofessional  so haven't used it all this year.

But thought i would get it out for a Sunday League game few weeks ago.

If anybody fancies a laugh

thanks very enjoyable, some good lines being bowled earlier, funny how the spinner given the batsmen the big send off after being given out caught of his pad, clearly poor umpiring exist across the planet.
suggest to your gully just to lay down on the turf in that region he stop more.

Keep posting the vids they are great to watch!!  I've watched some others on Youtube from the Umpires POV and they were good as well as it was not only a different angle but a little more stable.  It would also be nice to have a little more zoom to get a closer up zoom on the ball at times but with the GoPro thats not really an option.  (Do you have it set on 'Narrow' mode?)

I think its Set on Wide not narrow as when im stood up to the stumps you get more in.

Not yet tried it on narrow for cricket.

The quality is better at 4k obv but only get about an hour of recording

Think he was hoping ump would make up for the shocking decisions earlier.............

Is the ump related to bash? Lol.







But seriously where's your betting vid? I wanted to see you smoke some sixes!!

I find 1080 fine.  I played around with mine yesterday and 'Narrow' view isn't an option on 2.7 or 4k so I think you'll find you have to use 1080 or less. 

I would 110% recommend using the mobile phone App to run it.  Very, very easy to use.  Allows you to adjust all the settings on the fly like Protune, low light, view your field of view as its recording which is great because then you can tell straight away whether you have your recording angle/positioning correct, rec/pause, delete files easily and many more options.
