My planned big purchases for this year:

- Gopro Hero 5 or 7
- Play station or Xbox, can't be bothered to buy and maintain a PC for gaming or have time to cry over the forced Windows 10 updates.
- Bike jackets

Now gotta work harder to afford them.

Said just fuck it and pre-ordered the latest Gopro 7 black.

Been wanting to buy a proper easy to carry camera with stabilization. This seems to have hit the mark on features I want.

I have never ever pre-ordered anything before. Hope I won't regret this.

Trying to calibrate a gopro to remove fisheye effect with OpenCV.

The documentation of the script I'm using says "Lastly the program will calculate the total reprojection error. The closer this value is to zero the better. I usually like values under 0.1. Play around with the calibration, see what works and what improves it."

I spent all the afternoon recording video, extracting images and using the script. The lower error I got was 0.6, and the supposed undistorted image was actually more distorted than the original one.

So frustrated 😤
