10 more things you need to know about the GoPro Fusion! You guys might have
already seen my review of the Fusion and I think we can all agree it's an awesome
camera however there was 10 things I forgot to mention that are pretty
important. The first thing is that there's two stabilisation modes there's
full stabilization and anti shake full stabilisation means you can stay locked
on to one direction only regardless of which direction you point the camera
anti-shake however means the orientation is locked onto the person instead of the
background you can adjust this in Fusion Studio so depending on just how busy you
want to make your audience you can choose A or B next is the battery life
we know the Fusion's battery is pretty big and I've found from experience it
lasts way longer than the average 360 camera when I set it up to record at
5.2K and just let it roll it went for over an hour before it turned
off however this wasn't due to the battery running out of the battery we're
still at 45% it's shut off because of overheating
hypothetically doing the math it would last roughly just under 2 hours if you
stopped and started your recordings and then of course it depends how much
you're using it I was recording continuously non-stop but if you're
stopping and starting turning the camera off turning it on it's probably going to
last for a few hours if not half a day this brings us to overheating and does
it over here yes it does if you're recording 5.2 K video it will overheat
eventually unfortunately though this is only when you use the battery because of
another awesome feature of the Fusion which is its ability to plug into AC
power you can record basically forever here I did a test to see exactly how
long the Fusion would record for when plugged into power and it kept going and
going and going in my situation my 128 Gig cards allowed
me to record for 2 hours and 39 minutes which is pretty awesome for 5.2K
360 video I don't know if any other 360 camera that can do that I have 2
128 gigabyte cards in my Fusion and they ran out that was the reason I stopped
recording so depending on how much memory you have you could record for
several hours and when it stops you can just replace the cards and keep going
the Fusion was still alive 6 hours later and only stopped because of the
memory take note though that you will have to take out the battery otherwise
the battery will cause overheating and it will turn off
speaking of battery and other annoyance I have with the Fusion is sometimes it
turns itself on and drains the battery without you knowing I found some nights
when I've left it on charging overnight it had turned itself on in the middle of
the night and drained the battery as it was charging so when I wake up it had
about 18% battery it doesn't happen all the time but it is something
you do need to keep a close eye on one issue I talked about in my review video
was the lack of a self timer making it hard to take photos without physically
touching the camera or your phone well something that I forgot about was the
fact that the Fusion has voice control so you can take GoPro take a photo then
it'll take your photo hands-free if you're in a noisy environment that might
make this a little difficult however it's an option another way to activate
your photos and videos is using a GoPro remote you know the little remotes that
come with the GoPro Hero cameras you can use that with the Fusion as well so
which are the best microSD cards to use with the Fusion that will prevent
overheating this is the card I've been using the Samsung 128 GB EVO
Select that's been good at $39.99 and I bought 2 of them for the 2 microSD
slots of the Fusion GoPro recommends you buy this card and it's listed on
their site for $180 for two of them whereas here you
can see they're on Amazon for $31.99 per card Samsung and SanDisk are both
reliable for the GoPro fusion and don't forget about the SanDisk Extreme Pro
this is one of the best microSD cards you'll find for any 360 camera I would
recommend this however the Samsung cards I've been using have been great and have
not let me down yet I'll put a link to all three cards down in the description
so what's the fastest workload for getting your footage into Fusion Studio
so I imported all of the footage from this exact video that you're watching
into Fusion Studio using two different methods one was I connected the Fusion
to my computer via a USB C cable and imported directly from the camera the
2nd method was I took the 2 cards out copied the files to my desktop and
then I imported to Fusion Studio from there overall I found it was faster
importing directly from the camera this is because there's 1 step instead of
2 results may vary depending on your computer setup but this is what I got
with my brand spanking new fast iMac the Fusion also shoots basic slow-motion 60
frames per second at 3K so an option for good basic slow motion
