I’ve been seeing a bit of this around various forums. Does anyone here have experience with how well it works, and what frame rates and resolutions are available when using a GoPro as a v4l2 device?

Hi,
For launching v4l2 device, please refer to
Jetson Nano FAQ
[Q: I have a USB camera. How can I launch it on Jetson Nano?]

If the device is listed in v4l2-ctl command, you should be able to launch it.

Hi @DaneLLL

Thanks for the response. I am familiar with launching v4l2 devices. My question was specific to whether or not anyone here has had experience using GoPro devices as a v4l2 device on Nano. I am considering this.

Hi were you able to find a solution for this?

Hi @sadiac, I was not able to find a solution to this. Instead, I went with a USB Video Class interface camera and developed the system using gstreamer + NVidia acceleration.
