The Bluetooth device is rated for 196', but would it be too much to ask for, say 1320' (1/4 mile)? I've looked at repeaters and transmitter combos, and extenders, they just seem geared for audio. Thanks a bunch!

@JohnKindle Жыл бұрын
Very helpful video. Really like your channel. Here's one more suggestion for an accessory that I find very useful----labels for SD cards. When on travel( or even at home-) it's tricky keeping track of all the micro sd cards from multiple GoPros, multiple drones, a DJI Pocket 2 , etc. So I keep all the micro sd cards in their SD card sleeves and label those cards to help keep track of content. I then keep all those cards in SD card holders similar to what you've shown.

I was on some epic hikes in Hawaii back in April 2017, including over some active lava flows down near the ocean. My wife and I rode bikes about 5 miles to get to where we were hiking. I captured some epic footage but I only had one extra battery and my first battery ran down quicker than expected due to my GoPro accidentally powering on in my pocket. Missed out on some neat footage.
@johnhpalmer6098 10 ай бұрын
Also, remember, the GoPro battery only lasts maybe an hour, the new Enduro will last longer, and holds up better to the cold so that helps, but always best to have at least 2 batteries, best to have 3, or 4 if on a long shoot. That is, per camera if taking more than one.

Great video, very helpful. How about using gimbal on the move? Are you using any? Or you find it to cumbersome? I'm still in between when it comes to my hiking gear. I usually have things attached somehow to my backpack either to film it from there or to quickly unmount it and use handheld. For photos I use DSLR so usually I look like Christmas tree with all the stuff attached ;) Gimbal is great but difficult to mount/dismount. What about Volta + hypersmooth in latest gopro? Is it enough without gimbal? Any way of attaching it to backpack and quickly unmounting or filming when mounted on backpack? I still haven't found a good setup/solution without switching accessories constantly. How are you traveling/dealing with it? Edit: I own GoPro 7 and I'll probably will upgrade to 11 to have internal stabilization
@GreatDayForAHike Жыл бұрын
Thank you. I do use a gimbal in certain filming situations, including most of the time when I am using ND filters. I use the Inkee Falcon or the Hohem iSteady Pro 4. If you are using Hypersmooth with the Volta, a gimbal is typically not going to be needed as long as you are in good lighting. If filming in low lighting Hypersmooth will not tend to work well due to the slower shutter speed and will create jittery footage. That is when a gimbal can be useful with Hypersmooth turned off. The Hero 11 does also offer a boost to the Hypersmooth which can provide an even greater degree of stabilization with the trade-off of a bit more cropping.

Hi Author of this channel. I have GoPro 10 and I am interested what would you recommend me as an underwater tripod for filming fish in still freshwater clear courses? I will submerse camera only while sitting in a boat, drop some boiled stuff in front of the camera or a minnow and leave camera and light on for about 2hrs and then comeback. What settings would you recommend for night and day underwater shooting? As a tripod I want to use a 5 liter plastic bottle with a handle on the neck, put some lead weights inside to ensure bottom is more heavy than top side, attach a camera with wires thru holes in plastic with lights on from AliExpress, 20m rated, tie a rope to a bottle handle and fix the other end of a rope to reeds. Cheers from Kazakhstan )))

The only accessory that I wanted for my Hero 11 is something that I could use to set the GoPro on my car dashboard securely, instead of using a suction mount for the windshield. Kinda like the old Garmin sandbag mounts that held the GPS without it sliding around. Simply does not exist.

I created this video that shows recommended best settings for the Hero 11 including general best settings: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9iTnpOJ1a3IoGg.html I recommend checking that out and then it could be a good idea to test out your GoPro with these settings in a smaller body of water closer to home (if possible) to ensure you like how the footage looks.

Hi G what is your thoughts on going from the H9 to H11 still learning a lot as i go on I started with the H3 on to the H7 now sitting with the H9 buzzed up about the 11 what to do
@GreatDayForAHike Жыл бұрын
Great question. H9 to H11 is an upgrade that would offer two big things: 10-bit video on the H11 vs 8-bit video on the H9. A more powerful chip on the H11 that gives more responsive performance with the touchscreen and normal usage of the camera. The H11 has lots of other features as well including the star trails, light trails, and other modes that do these things in-camera.

The difference can be subtle, especially when viewing on KZfaq and depending upon the filming situation. The difference will often be seen in scenes with the sky or clouds.

Concerning the DJI Wireless Mics, can you record sound with both external mics And the gopro hero 11 mic also? I am looking to be able to capture my companions' voices with the wireless and my own with the gopro itself as the photographer. Thanks!
@johnhpalmer6098 10 ай бұрын
I know this is a 4 month old question but here goes... If you have the DJI or the Rode Wireless Go or Hollywood Lark 150, they all come with 2 transmitters and a receiver, so you can use both at the same time, just set it to stereo and leave each mic on its own track and then mix in post. I have the Hero 9 and it seems it only either does the camera mics, the media mod or external, but combined so using a wireless 2 mic system is the best solution I know of. Conversely, get a Zoom or Tascam etc audio recorder and record your guest and you on separate tracks and then use the camera's mics or the media mod as scratch audio and sync them in post.

I use my GoPro to video for long periods. We all know the camera is subject to overheating. Doesn't the Media Mod hold the heat in and cause overheating?
@GreatDayForAHike Жыл бұрын
Overeating on GoPro cameras to the point the camera shuts down is not something I have experienced when using them with the exception of one time when I intentionally forced an overheat on the camera which took quite a bit of effort and special combination of settings and conditions including using it in a warm, indoor environment. Could the Media Mod make the GoPro hold in a bit more heat? Possibly. I’ve not ever had any of my GoPros overheat and shut down while using them with or without the Media Mod, so I cannot say for certain on that. The only action camera I have ever had overheat on me to the point it shut down while I was using it is the DJI Osmo Action 2.

It’s because during the course of 2022 I brought many, many accessories above and beyond these too. In other words these 11 are the MVPs. The ones I either had with me each time or if I forgot one of these wished that I had brought it. I probably brought along more than 30 individual accessories during the course of 2022 (not all at once). These 11 are the ones that made the cut as the best and most useful.
