The video stream delay of different camera models is listed here. The delay is affected by the WiFi signal quality and number of connected devices. Also, we noticed different latency between various WLAN adapter manufacturers.
Many cameras create their own WiFi network. In this case you have to use a LAN cable, a second WiFi adapter, or a LTE connection for internet access. Take a look at this table which shows if you need a second adapter for the internet connection.
macOS sends applications into a sleep state when they are in background. Please disable the sleep state for the webcam tool by entering "defaults write com.gopro2webcam.vcamtool NSAppSleepDisabled -bool YES" into a terminal window (without quotes).
The Webcam Tool is an app that allows users to turn their Canon, Nikon, Sony, GoPro Hero, DJI Osmo Action, or Xiaomi Yi 4k+ camera into a virtual webcam for use in apps such as Skype, Zoom, and OBS Studio. It is available for both macOS and Windows and offers features such as the ability to run multiple webcams at the same time, customize audio and video delay, and support for up to 4k resolution.
The Webcam Tool offers a range of features to enhance your virtual webcam experience. These include the ability to run up to 4 webcams side-by-side (depending on the camera model), show the same camera in multiple apps at the same time, autostart the app in the background and auto connect to cameras, use a custom waiting image, and customize audio and video delay. The app also supports audio output (depending on the camera model) and up to 4k (38202160)/60fps resolution (depending on the camera model).
Are you in search of a versatile camera control app that is compatible with a range of GoPro models and available on multiple platforms? Camera Tools, is a highly recommended option for any photographer seeking advanced camera control capabilities.
The Webcam Tool available here supports multiple GoPro USB webcams. This means it is possible to use multiple GoPro cameras as webcams on a single computer, for instance in OBS Studio. The tool is available for macOS and Windows.
I do, however, have other raspberry pi machines dotted about my house (dating back to the original V1!), that have webcams plugged into them, running "motion" and then streamed so I can keep an eye on things when I'm not at home.
The thing is, that the software,"motion" only streams one frame per second, no matter what I put in the config file...and yet, the software that's streaming over "webcam/?action=stream" through octopi is closer to 10-15 FPS.
The unit sits on a rounded yet multi-surface shell. This is actually interesting because it allows you to put the unit on almost any angle and have it sit by itself. Here, let this animated gif explain:
This is even more notable because getting extra 360Fly sticky mounts is both complex and expensive, whereas getting more GoPro sticky mounts is a two-cent affair (ok, maybe $1 affair). So I prefer to use generic GoPro sticky mounts, especially in places that may not be permanent (i.e. a rental car, skis, etc..):
The entire time the battery icon is also displayed on the app. This is really the only way to see either battery or SD card status. Note that if/when the unit runs out of storage space (32GB), it will not record future clips until you deal with that situation.
VR is Virtual Reality, which implies that you can interact with the environment. So not only can you rotate your view 360 like in a 360 cam video, but you can move forward and back. Typically, this is limited to video games or other computer generated environments (though, there are certainly exception cases).
Plus, consumers now know what 360 action cam footage is, and have a vague understanding of how to interact with it when they stumble on it. Further, increased attention to the adjacent VR world is drawing more and more interest to 360 action cams and platforms. All of which is good for consumers.
A watch with 5 bar water resistance rating is suitable for showering and swimming, but not for diving. This is an action camera, but when you want to use it to document a dive from the start when jumping of the boat into the water like divers do, it may be damaged. I have seen divers jump into the water wearing their divers watch, but their underwater camera was gently lowered into the water using a basket and a rope. In the test chamber, only static pressure is tested, but not dynamic pressure. A watch with 20 bar is suitable for diving, 10 bar for snorkeling.
The Wikipedia article is a great example of mixing up or making up facts. Take the ISO/DNI standards noted in first section of the article (standards based, great). Yet that directly contradicts the table at the end of the article (made up, often copied).
Does any software package allow you to merge GoPro/Virb video with this video? I can speedup the GoPro footage to make it interesting to watch instead of like paint drying & am thinking I would want to mix the two together.
Which in the end make the offering including two sensors (such as the Nikon one) a lot more interesting in my opinion. The SP360 4K is also sold as a pair (although that offering is just two cameras at twice the individual price, so not extremely attractive).
My uncle rode across the USA last year. He took some cool videos with his GoPro fixed to his handle bars but ultimately they were lacking in that the stuff you really wanted to see was off to the sides.
It might have helped had it been helmet mounted but not much since you really have to watch the road.

I have some old cameras i was using for sports and they're fast for birds, but because they are old models i am thinking about to upgrade them to something new, so what are your recommendations for birding/wildlife and sports/action cameras?
A lot will depend on your budget, but the top performing current model similar to your 1DX / 1D3 would be the EOS R3. If that exceeds your budget threshold then consider an EOS R6 Mark II.
I am surprised that you didn't mention something like R5 or even R7, in fact i am very much looking at R7 as a replacement or upgrade to 1D3 and 30D first, then later i can think about something either Canon R3 or another brand like Sony as replacement for 1DX, i am still happy with 1DX, but 1D3 is already so outdated and i am very rarely using it.
If i go with something like R3 or R5 or R7, then how fast my EF lenses can be, i mean i might not replace the lenses, but i will try to know what i can do or decide, if i can win a lottery or sell my house then i can buy big lenses, but is the future now only for mirrorless so i don't hold any longer on DSLRs?
EOS R5 is widely expected to be due for replacement by an updated model in the near future, so while it is a good choice that's why I didn't mention it. Also it has the least sophisticated AF of the models mentioned.
Yes you can use your existing lenses, they will operate as fast as they are capable. The RF lenses may be faster depending on the models being compared. I've kept many of my EF lenses and use them on the mirrorless cameras just fine.
Ah ok, now i understand, then i better not rush and think about R5, and for R7 in fact it is a new camera so the ISO capability is definitely much better than old models, i try to stay maximum ISO 3200 even under low light, i use it in the field so i try not crank ISO so high, and with f2.8 lens i can even live with ISO2000 maximum, those new cameras are regards for as high as ISO20000 also, that is a lot of exposure crank, even in the worst lighting in the stadium i rarely go as high as ISO 6400, and the main thing about R7 is that it is a crop factor camera, i always crop with my 1D3 which is also 1.3x and i crop a lot with my 1DX, so R7 with its higher MP and crop factor could be better, but i have to listen to you.
I saw two of old press photographers i know moved from DSLRs to R3, i am sure they moved to R3 for a reason, so you mentioned that camera, in fact R3 is an upgrade to 1DX to me, while for 1D3 or even the sold 1D2N i used to have i don't need to go with a full frame camera, and i always use two bodies where one is having 300mm and the other is either 70-200 or 24-70/24-105/16-35 depends on the situations, i think the prime is always fast with many bodies so i use it with 1DX, while my new 70-200 mkii with 1D3, i think this 70-200 will shine with R7, but i will look at R6II, not interested in R10.
I have many cameras but all are old, my main landscape and Portraits is Sony A7R which i will replace to another Sony latest one and also Hasselblad digital medium format, but my first cameras were all Canon such as 1DX which i still have and want to replace it, and 1D3, 5D1, 30D, 1Ds3/1Ds2, i believe i will replace them all, in fact my A7R replaced all my Canon full frame, i use 1DX for sports, but it is outdated anyway.
The only lens i have for sports are EF 300mm f2.8IS mk1, 70-200 f2.8IS mkII, 135 f2 and 85 f1.8, other lenses aren't much of use such as 100 macro and 100-400 mk1, i stopped photography back in 2015-2016 due to many issues in my life, and now i am trying to upgrade to latest i can for another decade maybe, i don't do much of photography so i am not after new models always, but i think like 8-10 years is long enough to hold anything and time to upgrade for another long time, and i will try to get back to photography and sport photography also.
