I’m not convinced that live streaming with a GoPro is worth it. Isn’t it better to edit videos and upload them later for better quality?
I see your point, but live streaming adds a personal touch that edited videos can't quite capture! It depends on what you're going for.
How well does the GoPro handle streaming in different lighting conditions? I want to ensure my live streams look good whether it's sunny or cloudy!
I tried live streaming with my GoPro HERO8 last weekend while hiking, and it was amazing! The video quality was great, but I had some issues with connectivity in remote areas. It's definitely best to test your signal before you go live!
