GoPro’s new Fetch mount lets you share your pooch’s point of view

Ever since the GoPro Hero series became popular with all kinds of amateur and professional videographers, the company has introduced many different mounting solutions. The tiny action cameras can be attached to helmets, skateboards, bikes, fishing rods, car bonnets … and now even dogs. Yes, you read correctly – GoPro has just unveiled the ‘Fetch,’ its first canine mounting solution.

The ‘Fetch’ is basically a harness no different from your regular dog harnesses, with the main difference being that it comes with two mounting solutions for GoPro cameras – one on the top, so you can put a camera on your furry friend’s back, and one at the front, located at the dog’s chest. Thanks to the durable and waterproof housing that is available for the GoPro Hero cameras, you can have canine friend film any kind of outdoor activity.

In case your dog gets a little wild, the cameras attached to the ‘Fetch’ can be secured by an additional camera tether so they don’t get lost should they come off of the mount. The ‘Fetch’ fits all dogs 15-120lb and comes with fully adjustable straps that can be fitted individually to each dog. The chest mount is removable so the harness can be fitted to smaller breeds as well. For the dog’s comfort, the ‘Fetch’ is padded throughout.

The ‘Fetch’ GoPro mount for dogs is now available from GoPro and at retailers for $60. Of course, if you want to do it the right way, you’ll also get the GoPro Sportsman mount for rod-shaped objects. This way, you can put two cameras on your dog, and an additional one on the stick that you’re using to play fetch. Let the games begin!

ReelSteady makes GoPro Player ‘reel’ useful for filmmakers

GoPro’s proprietary video-editing software, called GoPro Player, just received a major update that greatly expands its capabilities. While before it was a useful piece of software for owners of GoPro’s Hero and Max cameras, it now offers extra features with the introduction of GoPro’s ReelSteady software, as well as other significant upgrades.

ReelSteady previously existed as a stand-alone application for applying an extra level of stabilization to camera footage. GoPro already has impressive “HyperSmooth” stabilization built into its cameras, but ReelSteady now offers a significant boost to that stabilization, utilizing the more powerful computing performance of a desktop or laptop computer. Horizon leveling can also be applied as part of this process.

The GoPro Hero 10 Black is the company's most recent addition to its action camera lineup. I've had a chance to spend almost eight weeks with the camera to find out if the on-page specs translate to real-world usage? Here's what I loved about the Hero 10 while using it in my day-to-day life and short travels.
Seven things I loved
More responsive
The GoPro Hero 10 is much more responsive than the previous iterations of the camera. When I reviewed the Hero 8 and Hero 9, one of my biggest concerns was usability. While the functionality was amazing, the usability was not. Well, no more.

Thanks to the new processor, the GoPro Hero 10's usability is as good as its functionality. GoPro has finally done justice to its camera. Navigating through the interface feels on par with my iPhone's camera app. The new camera was a joy to use, thanks to a more responsive interface.
Amazing photos and slow-mo
