I just found mine! I just bought a HERO 10 for a scuba diving trip to Belize but remembered I had a brand new HERO still in it's box as a service award for 20 years of service with my company. It even came with a selfie stick. I'll use the HERO as a backup camera which is always nice to have.

Me three! I’ve recently started scuba diving and seen many guys using gopro to record their underwater experience. I’ve my gopro hero aging in the bookshelf for years as well. I’ve found it and fortunately it’s still working. I’m planning to use it in my scuba diving this weekend.

This was Extremely helpful my grandfather just got a GoPro for Christmas and had no idea how to use it he kept coming to me for help but I have never used a GoPro a day in my life. We came across this video and after watching it I feel like we both have a very good understanding of how it works. long story short this is the holy grail of GoPro videos, easy to understand by all ages.

@indidot6664 9 жыл бұрын

I said to the guy in the shop, if this is complicated I'm bringing it straight back. He told me to check out your channel. 'Will it tell me how to switch the damned thing on?' Yes. First time I've understood a camera since the old kodak days. Thank you from the world's greatest technophobe.

@marklappan2817 3 жыл бұрын

I was so happy to come across this video. I pulled out my Hero today that I received for Christmas many years ago and never used it. While searching for a video compatible with my model I finally found a video that applies - yours! With so many models I didn't what mine was - all I knew that it was sitting around for years. Thank you!
