    Is Gopro good for porn?

    Is Gopro good for porn?

    If so, which should I buy and what extras should I get with it?

    If not, what would you go for?

    I have shot with a gopro hero 3 black, still need good lighting as with any camera. sometimes it turns out really good, sometimes not so good (area's blown out) Sound from mic is usable but not great. The new hero 4 is supposed to have control over iso etc. so that should make it a bit better. make sure and shoot in medium to lessen the distortion.

    for amateurs GoPro would be a great choice.

    Make sure and get the backpack. not sure how anyone could use it without one.

            I asked a shooter to try out a GoPro for me, turned out that the GoPro really isn't meant for indoors, not great in low/room light, so you'd need some additional lighting. If you were looking for a really old school amateur or surveillance camera type look it would work.

                The GoPros are not well suited to porn the field of view is way too wide causing distortion across the entire image. Its cool for Broll and maybe a few novelty shots but simply not good for porn even in 1080PN mode (I have a Hero2, 3 black and a 4 black)

                great for outdoor sports not so much for indoor sports

                      I bought it and i don't like...
                      Bad quality.
                      maybe i will use it for "toilet scenes" and some POV extra, but defiantly not as a main camera.

                        fpr web shooting an inexpensive canon nikon or panasonic or similar that shoots 1080P or MAYBE 4K...Im holding off on 4K till H.265 is finalized and HEVC is common right now not many 4k tvs but it cant hurt for the future

                        for pro work like broadcast Id look at something like the sony FDR-AX1 which is 4K if yer gonna spend that kinda cash get 4k for sure

                          heres some stuff I shot with a hero 4 black its not even in 4K mode (which is even wider field of view)

                          there was some added light...sound is muffled cuz its in the waterproof case...youll see why its unedited other than re-encoded at 5mbps
