Your GoPro files contain much more than just video. Telemetry Classic for GoPro reads the GPS, accelerometer and other sensor data from your videos and converts it to other formats for advanced work
The new version of Telemetry Extractor can read data from many more devices (Insta360, DJI, GPX...), visualize it alongside the video with interactive maps and charts, process it in many ways to clean it up or create new values, and it is actively being developed for more features and support.
The data is embedded in the video file in a custom format by GoPro, but with Telemetry Classic for GoPro you can export it to:
There are hundreds of possible use cases and your imagination is the limit, but here are some common ones:
Pay once. Use forever!
Plus, get support for one year, then optionally extend it for a fraction of the initial cost.
These cameras contain GPS and more data: HERO13 Black, HERO11 Black, HERO10 Black, HERO9, HERO8, HERO7 Black, HERO7 Silver, HERO6 Black, HERO5 Black, Max and Fusion.
These cameras contain some data (accelerometer, gyroscope) but not GPS: HERO12 Black, HERO (2024), HERO11 Mini, HERO10 Black Bones, HERO5 Session and HERO7 White.
The HERO4 Black can record metadata into the videos if attached to a Bluetooth metadata device, but this has not been thoroughly tested. All the other mentioned cameras can do this too.
Test your video files with the free Telemetry Lite for GoPro.
Depending on your camera model you will have some of these: GPS (latitude, longitude, elevation, speed), gyroscope, accelerometer, exposure time, white balance (Kelvin and RGB), sensor ISO, average luminance, image uniformity, scene classification, face coordinates and smiles, predominant hue, camera orientation, image orientation, gravity vector, wind processing, microphone wetness, AGC audio level, disparity matrix...
Not directly. For that, use Telemetry Overlay instead. It is a user friendly, yet professional tool for creating your custom overlays, not just for GoPro cameras but for many compatible data sources.
Yes. You can merge the extracted data with Telemetry Classic for GoPro. The original videos do not get merged. If you need to also merge the video footage and display continuous data, use Telemetry Overlay.
