GoPro settings that we have used on past launches, such as the one here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qNUDRwAlL0
(Note: we've done video using our GoPro Session, with other cameras taking still pictures):
Explanation of some of the above:
3 - Caution when selecting Wide or Ultra Wide; per John Flaig's HAB photography guide, when using Wide or Ultra Wide "the horizon can appear to bend and bounce whenever the camera moves".
4 - This allows the camera (when at 48fps or above) to reduce the frame rate in low light conditions to achieve optimal exposure. We were OK sacrificing frame rate for better exposure with the variation of light that we expect to experience.
5 - Similar to if you put the GoPro inside of your car but wanted to have the exposure tuned to outside your windshield, select this if you can see the payload insulation at all around the edges of your camera frame to be sure it focuses on the lighting outside your box. We had this disabled since no payload was in our field of view.
6 - You can post-process to apply the Protune edits using GoPro studio after the fact, if you decide that you want to.
7 - We also prefer to set the correct orientation prior to the launch, instead of leaving it up to the accelerometer in the GoPro, so there is one less thing that can change on us during launch preparation. The orientation is locked once you start recording, so if you remember to hit "Record" when upright, this will prevent any need to edit in GoPro studio after the fact. We prefer to set it (correctly) and not have to worry about edits.
Charging: Also, remember that the GoPro can record while charging. We use this external battery booster (5400mAh) with a USB splitter cable to charge all our devices (GoPros, tracking cell phone) while in-flight: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LVFFQ9S/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
