I have noticed that when recording with video, video timelapse, or timewarp, the video uploaded to Mapillary tends to be lower quality at 4096 x 2048, compared to the 5760 x 2880 I got from photo timelapse. I have also noticed that Google Maps seems to have the 5760 x 2800 resolution when recorded on video still.
I did some tests and the links for them are below.
I would be fine with the photo timelapse but I want the MAX to take more images about twice as frequently than this. I think the video timelapse would be the perfect speed for taking photos but I can’t take photos faster with photo timelapse. Which is what I need help with.
Yes, I think the GoPro MAX has slightly lower resolution for video than photo (if you’re seeing higher resolution on Google that might just be upscaling). In general I think the resolution and compression hit is worth it if you are capturing in a very dense area and don’t want to miss the details. Otherwise the video or video timelapse mode provide very nice data and upload time savings.
