:rofl: What kind of AI generated mutant GoPro model is that? Note the second lens :eye: on the side (above the power button). :rofl: I have never imagined that GoPro 360° cams could move :roll_eyes: eyes like humans can do.

• 64GB SD card

But the image displays a 128 GB micro SD card. :wink:

On your blog, you write about the success of previous programs. But where are the statistics from those programs?

Last time you seemed to be bragging about it was in 2024

Right, I would also love to see Camera Grant Program stats, not for the sake of bragging or competition but just to see how effective I am compared to others. My current bottlenecks actually are SD card space (or storage space in general), post‑processing speed, and upload speed. I can usually capture much faster than I can process and upload, so my backlog grows faster than anything else. :face_with_hand_over_mouth: But :index_pointing_up: with my latest captures, I have already adjusted my workflow to reduce post‑processing time. However, the effects are only going to become apparent after I have cleared my existing backlog.

Having said that, 64 GB SD card space seems like a bit tight, especially for an 8K camera like the GoPro MAX2. However, I am also aware of the latest price hikes for everything memory related due to the ongoing crazy AI hype. :woozy_face: It hurts everybody.

I really appreciate that Mapillary is going full steam ahead with the next Camera Grant Program iteration. :+1: Happy :compass: mapping! :smile:
