Hero 8

Is the Hero 8 Black edition supported?

Soon :)

To clarify, most stuff works, just have to get the specific settings working. Try it out and let me know.

I've not bought one yet. Was going to buy a hero & as your API supports it. But the Hero 8 has better image stabilisation and mounts, both of which are required. When you say most stuff works, I just need to record 4K in low light conditions with the image stabilisation - does that work yet? I'm happy to contribute if I can.

I'm waiting for GoPro to send over a H8 to try, I'll push an update this weekend that adds some MAX-specific settings. What I mean is, most API functions will work (change settings, start/stop recording, take pictures,....) but some settings are missing. Getting media off the camera should work as well, same for streaming (not 100% verified still).

Awesome, thanks!

I'm currently working with goprocam and a Hero6, Hero8 and a Max. one thing I had to change was: gpCam = GoProCamera.GoPro(constants.Camera.Interface.GPControl)

After this change it worked perfetly fine.

[KonradIT]

Nice, I have the MAX and already updated the API to support it, does GoProCamera.GoPro() not work?

[torolito]

GoProCamera.GoPro() did not work. Somehow it gave me back an empty string and did print “waking up…”

I can’t remember where it hung up exactly but once I figured out that the json parsing worked manually, I’ve tried to force the gpcontrol and then it worked.

If you want I can check where I think the problem is.

[torolito]

I think I've found it. The Hero8 is H19, will check later tonight, if I remember right.

GoProCamera.py Line 190 exceptions = ["HX", "FS", "HD3.02", "H18"]
