How big is the gap between Gopro and mobile phone?

Sports cameras such as gopro are often used to compare the quality of video taken by mobile phones. In fact, if you look at the picture quality of the video, gopro and the mobile phone belong to the same grade. Because they are dedicated cameras, they have no advantage in picture quality. Some mainstream high-end mobile phones are not worse than gopro in video quality, because they are basically at the same level in original size, code rate and coding format. So what is the difference between gopro and mobile phone shooting video, mainly in these aspects:

Different lens angles

The focal length of mobile phone lens is different from gopro. Gopro's lens can reach 120 in the original state, which is an ultra-wide field of vision and even has a lot of spherical distortion, which is similar to the "fisheye lens" effect of SLR and can produce exaggerated deformation effect. Of course, the relatively new gopro has a built-in viewing angle correction function, which can shoot a wide-angle effect with less distortion. Mobile phone lens is generally equivalent to the focal length of about 28mm to 35mm, which belongs to the category of small wide angle and has no ultra-wide and fisheye field of vision. The use of wide angle, on the one hand, can shoot more picture elements, on the other hand, it can shoot exaggerated deformation effect, which is remarkable in sports video, but the distortion correction function needs to be turned on in daily video shooting. Mobile phones are most suitable for shooting ordinary recorded videos. For the super wide-angle effect, it is difficult to reach the breadth of gopro. Of course, some new models of mobile phones have also added ultra-wide lenses, and the two devices are also merging with each other.

The anti-shake effect is different.

The anti-shake of mobile phones can be divided into electronic anti-shake and optical anti-shake. Some mobile phones have double anti-shake performance, so it can be said that the anti-shake effect is better when shooting videos every day. But because the mobile phone is flat, the balance of my shooting posture is not easy to grasp. If I shoot a video with my hand without any anti-shake device, the stability is still not ideal. Gopro's electronic anti-shake performance is very powerful, especially the latest generation products, and the built-in anti-shake operation is very mature, which can achieve anti-shake effect similar to that of stabilizers. Of course, this is also based on image cropping, which is detrimental to the image quality to some extent, but overall, the look and feel can still meet the creative needs. If you shoot a moving video, it will be easier to achieve a stable effect with gopro. Mobile phones can generally meet the requirements of shooting fixed-lens video images.

There are differences in fuselage performance.

Gopro is very waterproof, even bare metal without waterproof shell can achieve ordinary waterproof effect. Although some high-end mobile phones have good waterproof performance, there is still a gap compared with gopro. Gopro is more suitable for shooting underwater pictures. In addition, gopro also has a wealth of accessories, such as handles, wear-resistant brackets, waterproof shells, stabilizers, special angle fixing devices and so on. And the fuselage is also very small, and it can be fixed in almost any position for shooting. Mobile phones are not as easy to use as gopro in this respect. In terms of shooting convenience, gopro is specially used to shoot videos, and it is very convenient to start and stop. It has special buttons and can also be activated by voice, so as to realize the specific design of functions, and the mobile phone needs to be touched to start video shooting after entering shooting mode. In addition, gopro has a special battery that can be replaced and disassembled, while the mobile phone adopts an integrated design, which is not conducive to long-term shooting unless it comes with a troublesome charging device.

In short, for shooting videos, if you need to shoot videos frequently, for a long time, in sports and in special environments, you still need to start with a gopro or similar products. If you just shoot ordinary daily videos, the mobile phone can already meet most of the needs. If you need to shoot high-quality video, neither device is a good choice. You'd better choose SLR, micro-single or video camera.

Advantages of gopro: anti-shake, waterproof, wide-angle, radio, compact and convenient, which are incomparable to mobile phones.

There is no anti-shake effect in low light or at night, and the picture quality is poor.

Cycling and skiing, including some extreme sports, mountaineering, downhill, skydiving, etc. . . .

Advantages of mobile phone: the picture quality is better than gopro day and night, which is the only place better than gopro.

GoPro and mobile phone positioning are different, each has its own advantages and disadvantages!

GoPro is a sports camera, which is the oldest in this field. You can climb the mountain and go to the sea, wide-angle anti-shake cattle X, portable and convenient. Faster than a mobile phone, it can be competent for various environments and bearing platforms, such as bicycles, motorcycles, cars and airplanes. It's just that you wouldn't expect it without it.

Without macro image quality and blurred background, the effect of shooting fixed the picture is not as good as that of a mobile phone.

Everyone has a mobile phone, so I won't say much. There are great differences in mobile phones at various price points, such as Samsung note 10+, Apple 1 1promax. The camera is definitely the best, much better than GoPro. After all, in many scenarios, mobile phones can't work.

If we only talk about image quality, the latest gp9 is not as good as some flagship models, especially Apple. The anti-shake effect is not ideal. After ordinary electronic anti-shake processing, the phenomenon of frame adjustment appears. Gp9 will be released in three months, because the picture quality is much worse than that of Apple and Huawei.

Gopro is a sports camera, which is mainly used for skiing, water carrying, surfing, diving and other sports.

The main differences between mobile phone shooting and gopro are different underwater shooting, different visual angle deformation and different sound control.

Nowadays, people should not have mobile phones without camera function, so they can take pictures whenever they want. If the phone configuration is not bad, the picture quality is ok. Although it is not as good as a camera, the quality of mobile phones with general hair ring pronunciation is suitable for most ordinary players.

The image quality of gopro is a little worse than that of a good mobile phone, but it is enough, but the playability of gopro is far greater than that of a mobile phone.

First of all, the volume is really small, just put it in your pocket, not much bigger than a mobile phone, and there is no burden when you go out.

Ultra-wide lens has its own characteristics. Even if many mobile phones already have a wide angle, they are not as wide as the dog's perspective.

As soon as the waterproof shell is installed, there are mountains and seas everywhere from top to bottom. The new model of Dog 7 is bare-metal waterproof, and the mobile phone is generally only splash-proof. Drifting and snorkeling, underwater photography should not be too high.

All kinds of accessories, tie head, tie hands, hang bags, free hands, convenient.

It is recommended to bring more batteries. The battery is too small to last long. Take out your mobile phone at this time.

A person may be a master in his own field.

I happen to have a GoPro in my hand. Usually don't need it, just use it to shoot a little delay. First of all, it is a sports camera. As the name implies, it is a camera used in various extreme sports. Since 1 is a sports camera, anti-shake is essential, which can ensure that the photos you take during any strenuous exercise are clear and stable. Cell phones are impossible. This is also my favorite sports camera, which can shoot super wide-angle field of vision. It's a small benefit for us lazy people who don't want to wear more lenses. The compact body can be used as a small wide-angle lens, and it has been equipped with bare metal waterproof function since 3 GoPro5. This shows that you can fight without any worries in rainy days. There is still a certain gap between the above three mobile phones and GoPro, especially the anti-shake function.

I've been doing gopro for over a month.

To put it simply, if you shoot from a fixed position, there is little difference between the mobile phone and gopro, and both can be shot clearly, and the mobile phone is more convenient to adjust the distance and the scene switching. Gopro may need software adjustment, which I have never tried.

If you are exercising, such as walking and shooting, or running to shoot, or riding a bike or taking a car, then the advantages of gopro are obvious. The whole video will not make people feel uncomfortable, and it is clearly shot from a wide angle.

In terms of mobile phone software editing, the video shot by mobile phone is naturally convenient, because there is no need to download the app like gopro, export the video from the app, and then save it in the mobile phone and edit it with software.

To sum up, I prefer to use gopro, because it is small and unobtrusive and can be taken at will. You can put it in your pocket when you're finished. After all, it is a bit conspicuous to shoot with a mobile phone, and gopro is not worried about jitter. Although downloading videos with the app, it is quite simple and smooth.

How big is the gap between GoPro and mobile phone? GoPro is a sports camera and is said to be an underwater camera. I think there must be a big gap between underwater video shooting and land video shooting. I have never realized how big the gap is, and I can't tell the specific gap.
