What is the crop factor of the GoPro ILS?
I usually say the GoPro ILS crop factor is 3x, but it's 2.7x when you're not using image stabilization. However, I wouldn't use it without image stabilization (even though it requires using higher shutter speeds) so let's just say 3x, because it's easier to do the math.
GoPro ILS Crop Factor
The crop factor of the GoPro with is commonly referred to as 3x. However, when not utilizing image stabilization, the crop factor is actually 2.7x. Despite this, many users prefer to operate with stabilization enabled for smoother footage, even though it necessitates using higher shutter speeds (because of how the stabilization processes each frame).
Summary
With STABILIZATION: Crop factor is 3x
Without STABILIZATION: Crop factor is 2.7x
Preferred Usage: Most users opt for 3x for better stabilization
For simplicity in calculations and understanding, it's often easier to stick with the 3x crop factor when discussing GoPro footage.
