Hero 9 Firmware 1.5 AVOID IF YOU STREAM [ New ]

[iamthemoose]

New firmware 1.5 locks your streaming bitrate to 800kbps. Down from 2500-4000kbps.

And since there's no way to roll-back, you're stuck if you use this for streaming with something south of a potato.

Hi, are you sure there is no way to roll back?  i just came from the other thread with the audio issue and there are guys that just downgraded their firmwares for some tests.

You can roll back by manually installing the previous firmware.

that I know Lol

Where do you get the previous firmware from? All the support people insisted that 1) it was impossible 2) it wasn't available

I must have spent an hour looking for it in various places.

I keep a copy of each release on my computer, just in case.

message me and I can sure find a way to get it too you.

You can hear in the call I asked them over & over to get me a way to make the camera work, sure would've been nice if they had just said "yeah we can get you the old firmware".
Would love to get copies from you :D
