Eh - what you mean?

The movies here are filmed at 2x speed, if speed is what you ask about.

The Timewarp, Timelap and Hyperlaps explained:


Timewarp was introduced in the Hero 7, which was my first actioncam in 2019. The potential was obvious, but they had limited the picture quality to preset schemes with too high contrast, too oversatured colours and thus the mode was more or less useless. In the Hero 8 they made Timewarp mode open to all the usual ways to alter quality of the images, like saturation contrast, exposure, colour temperature and so forth. Since then it is THE killer feature of GoPro cameras, and it is the reason why just one year after the Hero 7 I also bought a Hero 8. The 8 also had better battery life, lower working temperature, and an even improved digital image stabilisation - you do not need gimbles with these cameras, you just do not need them. Since then, I exclusively film in Timewarp 2x and 5x. It gives, with bicycle speeds around 20-25km/h, virtual speeds in the film of either 40-50 km/h, or 100-120 km/h. In other words: it looks as if being filmed from a car.

Meanwhile there are the Hero 9 and 10, but I am not interested. They use new battery, are bigger, and in the main just add a front colour monitor for selfies and youtube streamers, which i have n o use for, and even further imroved Timewarp and image staiblisaiton, now even neutralising dipping horizons". I do not need that either, and the asking price imo is way to high now, 500-600 coins. Thats much money. I strongly recommend to get an 8 for reduced price now.

The Hero 8 battery lasts for me around 80 minutes, and a 64 GB SD card records two hours of timewarped film material, that is either 4 or 10 hours of real tour time. I can use batterieds form the 7 in it, too, with just 10-15 minutes less lasting time.

Its some fantastic piece of hardware kit. Very, very good. And so small.
