GoPro Hero & TC For Synch

[Thomas Beach]

Can anyone tell me what the standard GoPro Hero 10/11 matching TC for double-system should be? Given it runs at either 30 or 60 fps, run 30ND for standard 30fps recording? And straight-up 23.976 for 24 fps in 4K?  Thanks in advance.

I would think you will need to match A-Cam unless you are shooting only with GoPros.  If production is running multiple frame rates across different cameras, you need to work out with post what they synch plan will be, since they will presumably be doing some sort of pull-down to intermingle the footage.

More likely, they will just run everything at 23.976 and that's what you should use.  It's news to me that they would use anything else.

Thanks. Yes, I should have made my query clear in that I was talking about only GoPro shots. Appreciate you confirming 23.976.

I mean ... that's a common default, but you still need to check with your client to match whatever workflow they are using.  It's not impossible they will want a different frame rate.  Just uncommon.

A Timecode slate should be on hand as well.  Just in case.  And it indicates that you are thinking ahead for post.
