Meeting Summary…
At April’s meeting Ian Lessing gave a whole-evening presentation on the versatile GoPro Hero3 [Black Edition] camera for video, time lapse, and the GoPro Studio editing software — and answered questions about the camera specs. He showed the hollow-pole mount [it floats] that he used for some action surfing video: the camera comes with a waterproof housing. With no focusing [fixed lens] and no moving parts the GoPro makes a perfect camera for action captures. Ian opened the GoPro Studio editing software and showed the different ways to edit both video and time lapse footage, which are in high-resolution and broadcast quality. Ian also demonstrated how the camera can be controlled (directly) through the iPhone.
We only had time for a short Q&A session at the evening’s start: Ian showed how to send an Email message to a Group of recipients — using Contacts.
