GoPro – Necessary Video Upgrade for Every Sportsperson
Posted: Nov 06, 2015
The feeling that every athlete experiences – the adrenaline-filled rush and the fleeting landscape as they whiz by cannot be described by mere words. For many years, people have tried to carry bulky cameras in the hopes of recording these moments. The results, while promising for some things, were barely on the same level as the real thing. That all changed when GoPro cameras arrived on the scene. With high quality recording capability in a miniscule package, athletes were able to record and share their videos as they truly experienced it. From recording insane stunts to unexpected failures, GoPros are changing the way athletes train and prepare.
GoPros have revolutionised the way we record on the go. Anyone can use it to record and share videos, but athletes have the most to gain from them. While coaches can make videos from a distance, a GoPro offers athletes the videos from own viewpoint. This is a great tool for enhancing training, memorising courses and tracks, recording their improvement and more.
The GoPro Hero series offers a wide array of features and advantages that are perfect for even the most rigorous sessions in any environment. These cameras can record videos in resolutions of up to 4K for crystal clear video quality. While all modern GoPros offer an ultra-wide field of view (FOV), the top end models also offer medium and narrow FOV options. Most of them also offer up to 80fps for ultra-slow motion shots as well. Professional grade GoPros can record at up to 120 fps at 1080p, with even higher numbers at lower resolutions. With options for burst frame, time lapse and continuous photos, low light and night light photos and recording, GoPros offer athletes a myriad of choices.
Before the days of GoPro, big, bulky and expensive cameras were the only way to record and analyse performance. The associated high costs kept it out of the hands of all except a handful of athletes. Their use was also largely limited to team sports. With miniaturisation and dwindling prices, GoPros are now used by everyone from skiers and cyclist to surfers and sailors. The athlete’s perspective also allows coaches to understand an athlete’s concerns better. The videos also help athletes and coaches evaluate and analyse the videos to work on improving performance, often shaving several seconds off their times. Finally, GoPros can be used to help in equipment and gear selection. While this was largely dependent on lap times and course times in the past, the videos allow for understanding how the equipment affects performance in real time.
In the sporting world, every moment can make the difference between victory and defeat. GoPros can not only give you the competitive edge, they are also a fun tool to share your perspective with your family, friends and fans.
