@Keith_Menard There sure is. See my post here for instructions and links.https://forum.ballofspray.com/discussion/comment/434352/#Comment_434352

Here's the webpage were you can create configurations:https://gopro.github.io/labs/control/custom/

@Keith_Menard Those settings should capture a skier at 15 off. Testing is the only way to know for sure. In my experience, HyperSmooth "On" is good enough. "Auto" will likely crop more than necessary.

When using QR codes with speed controls, make sure to set "Camera auto off" and "Screen Auto Off" to "Never". There's a weird bug that requires the back screen to stay on. I set "Display Brightness" to 10% to reduce battery drain and overheating.

Camera PreferencesGPS - OnDisplay Brightness - 10%Camara auto Off - NEVERScreen Auto off - NEVER (THIS MUST BE SET TO NEVER) You can set the display brightness.

@gcam4 The H11 has 1.4x zoom with the Linear Lens. I'll shoot a sample tmrw and report back.

@503Kento The different levels of HyperSmooth, require different levels of cropping/zooming. The more stabilization required, the more the FOV is cropped-in. This allows the stabilized frame to bounce around the total FOV to deliver a stabilized image.

The different levels of HyperSmooth also behave differently:

• AutoBoost- maximum stabilization with dynamic cropping (meaning the amount of crop will change based on the stabilization needs), not recommended for pylon mounts.
• Boost - maximum video stabilization with tight cropping
• HyperSmooth On - maximum video stabilization with minimal cropping (recommended for pylon mounts).

The QR config won't change the stabilization behavior.

Once you decide on your resolution (5.3k, 4k, 2.7k) and lens (Linear or Narrow) with "HyperSmooth On", then adjust the zoom level to meet your preferred FOV.

@owennibley when using a ski-doc with more zoom, the skier will go out of frame. Holding the actual camera is the only option for zoomed in footage. Here's what happens with too much zoom - https://gopro.com/v/qzw6LWywWo42E

As for quality, the example above was captured at 2.7k, but you're not seeing source quality through this web experience.

I video every set (and payback on a laptop/desktop), which has been extremely helpful. Without a GoPro and ski-doc, it just wouldn't happen. I also use the beta firmware with speed triggers, to start and stop recording for each pass.

@gcam4 you are correct, the Narrow lens has been removed from GoPro HERO11 Black. Nevertheless, the same FOV can be achieved with HERO11s Linear lens and 2.0x zoom. Alternatively, you can over capture with a wider FOV and crop it down in post (app). With 5.3k resolution, you can make these adjustments in post and maintain the imagine quality.

From my experience with the Ski-Doc, you need a reasonably wide FOV. Wake Eye is better, but not available.

Is there something you want me to test? I have both H10 and H11 and can do side-by-side tests tomorrow.

Here are a few clips from another post.

2.7k 60 FPS with Linear Lens + Horizon Leveling, HyperSmooth On:

30% zoom at 28 offhttps://gopro.com/v/dMoeVlrv6l0gd

30% zoom at 32 offhttps://gopro.com/v/qznw80w0O0dnL

30% zoom at 35 offhttps://gopro.com/v/RoKQa9pnpVqz1

And yes, I work for GoPro :)

For me, the Reflex boot is too narrow, the HO/Edge boot is the perfect width and fit.

Steve Nelson is a legend, and a true gentleman.

@Bruce_Butterfield Thx for the feedback. At this point, I totally agree that she needs more time on the water. There are many areas for improvement, that a new ski won't solve. I like your idea of new ski next season when she's bigger and strong, and skiing shorter ropes.

Ironically, I just ordered a Reflex hard shell front boot (with an RTP). I got it primarily for safety, as these kids take some nasty wipe outs, but I'm sure it will provide additional support and control.

Thx!
