On very hot days, remove the battery and connect a USB C cable to a battery pack. I do this recording very long drives in the Philippines in 5.3k 30fps Hypersmooth on 200Mbps bitrate with Extreme Pro sdcard

Professional photographer here, relatively experienced video guy, but brand new to GoPro. You’re one of the best GoPro guys I’ve seen. You have a profoundly strong grasp of understanding photography and video and I learn so much from all your videos. I just got a GoPro 12 for my bday this last month, and it’s my first. I’m loving it and getting even better results out of it from watching your videos and applying the techniques and settings you teach and recommend. I’m not using it for action, just vlogging and fun documenting of my family. My next step is to download GoPro labs and do even more fiddling. Love your content. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Sometimes a differing perspective is nice but not as a full time Dash cam! Here is an example of what I can do with my Hero8/11’s: 1 piece of AstroTurf, size approx 3x3 inches square. 2x pieces of lightweight 1/4” wood (I.E., pine) angle cut from point to approx 2-3 inches height and 6” inches length. Glued with popsicle sticks into a ramp. The ramp serves as unobtrusive cover for the GoPro. A small battery supply connected via short length of wire (USB to USB C, for example) to provide ample power continuity to the GoPro camera. The set up is placed approximately 10 feet forward of the pee wee/little league batter box. A video of all the kids when at bat is a treasure! All parents must sign to approve each child or the video, of the disapproving parents, is deleted! A keepsake video for the parents, as all kids are permitted how ever many swings to make a connect with the ball! This can be set up easily for an actual game or even just a practice session!

Excellent video! As a new user of the GoPro 11, I had a lot to learn, as I upgraded from a GoPro 3 after realizing that I NEEDED video stabilization. Recently I had two problems: 1. I was surprised to see motion blur when I took video of a birthday celebration inside a restaurant, but I did have hypersmooth turned on. 2. I was using my GoPro to record my golf swing practice, and it overheated on me on a mild 70° day. Hypersmooth was also on by default even though the GoPro was mounted on a tripod. Your video took care of both of my problems!!! Thanks very much, and keep these videos coming!

Hey there, Firstly, great channel deserving of a much higher Subscriber count. Hopefully that happens in a short time period as i know these videos take a while to make. Alot of your content has been helpful to myself as i own the GoPro 11&12, and always take them both on hiking trips, along with the myriad of accessories (including the Moza Mini P Max). Now a question... You have touched on GoPro accessories in a few videos, but i don't believe you have ever mentioned the GravGrip. Are you aware of this fairly new US company ? Its essentially an hydraulic leveling device for Action Cams or Phones. Very simple, clever design. Just an internal cog and gear, rust proof, and inexpensive (especially if you're in the US, which i'm not). Mine arrives in a couple of days (to Australia), and i plan to use it on the Telesin 3 meter (118inch) Selfie Stick to mimic drone like shots, and in scenarios whereby a drone is not practical, like in heavily wooded areas. Anyhow, just thought i'd mention the product, as it has only been reviewed a handful of times on YT channels that i have seen. ....cheers

@GreatDayForAHike 3 ай бұрын

Thank you for your feedback and support. I do know of the GravGrip, but I have yet to test it out. The use case you mention sounds like a great combination with this tool. Sounds like I should look a bit more into the GravGrip. Thanks!

Great video, thank you for putting all this information together! In terms of overheating, most of the content creators do not consider use cases where people use their action cameras not for content creation but to capture family and personal moments. In such cases there is no point capturing 1 or 2 minutes, one just wishes to capture footage continuously for 30-60 minutes. If you add on top of this that people might use their action cameras during their holidays in places where temperature might be between 20-30 degrees Celsius all day then unfortunately these cameras overheat after 10-12 minutes of continuous recording and take time to recover.

@GreatDayForAHike 3 ай бұрын

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, in scenarios like this removing the battery and powering the GoPro with an external power bank may help prevent overheating as some others have helpfully suggested here in the comments. I recommend trying that if you’re experiencing overheating. Thanks for bringing up this scenario as well.

would that be a way to power a GoPro Hero 12 Black via a External Power, like a power bank, not having a battery in the camera?

Do you like to have many small clips or do you prefer longer clips? Will that make any difference when you are editing?

I like to do many, small clips. That way I am only filming what I actually want in most cases. I find it saves me time later on when editing.

Ok. But i want to use a GoPro to record a wide shot of a solar eclipse event. What do you recomend?

@GreatDayForAHike 3 ай бұрын

You’ll want to ensure you set your exposure based on what you want to capture. Do you want to capture the sun itself getting darker and the shadow going across the sun? If so you’ll want to use the spot meter and expose the sun with priority. If you want to show a general view of how the lighting changes in your scene while also having the sun in the frame then I recommend setting both the ISO and shutter speed to static values at the start. Then when the eclipse starts happening your GoPro isn’t showing the shutter speed or boosting the ISO to offset the decreasing brightness. Having a static exposure triangle will give real emphasis to the eclipse happening.

@pandaxcvii 3 ай бұрын

About recording long duration videos, I've tried removing the battery and powering the GoPro 12 directly with a power bank. Works great. I've recorded over 3 hours non stop with no issues.

@GreatDayForAHike 3 ай бұрын

Yes, also a great tip. If the filming situation allows for this, using a power bank is a great option.

@JayandSarah 3 ай бұрын

Please explain details. Do you remove the battery and connect the powerbank to the go pro somehow? In the media mod? What type of power bank... please give info this is a great suggestion.

@GreatDayForAHike 3 ай бұрын

@JayandSarah Here is how I personally do this. First, I use the GoPro Pass-Through door which can be popped on to replace the stock door. This isn’t necessary, but is an alternative to keeping the battery door wide open which also exposes the microSD card. It’s a $20 accessory: gopro.com/en/us/shop/mounts-accessories/usb-pass-through-door/ADCOD-001.html?gad_source=1 Second, I use this power bank from Anker: amzn.to/42sv5kO It powers the GoPro with or without a battery and it holds 20000 mAh of charge which is plenty for many hours of GoPro usage. That is the combo I use for time lapses, night lapses, and any time I want to power the GoPro while using it, or to give the GoPro a charge in between using it.

@JayandSarah 3 ай бұрын

It would be hard to say for certain but that is a good sign. If you bought it direct from a major retailer it should be genuine.
