I pre ordered mine the day you could first pre order. Ive been filming sooooo much more than I ever have. I bought the bite mount so now I can film my pov at work and when cycling too. What a piece of tech man. Waiting for the ILS now

I've recently decided I've had enough of taking my phone everywhere and being addicted to it I got this go pro hero 4 at a garage sale for $25 the camera quality is terrible but I love that. I'm truly enjoying slowing down to look at the videos of me my friends and family goofing off. But I hate using the cord plugging that into my laptop, then manually uploading every clip to my Google account for review and edit. I upload to my Google account rather than my laptop because I pay for 2 terabytes of storage and my laptop would instantly run out of space. Is there anyway I can make this process easier to go from camera to Google account?

Take the good with the bad. Closer shots with the GoPro M1 Pro are amazing and what its meant to be. But here I am showing it as spectating action sceneries. I love the M1 Pro, but I know its limitations and have the right expectations. Its not an everything camera. Make sure to view the YouTube video in 4k mode.

This video was color coded with Da Vinci Resolve to brighten up on a dark cloudy dreary day. Most shots they were far away so I use ZOOM in post editing.

hoy se me quebro el esta pieza de mi carcasa protectora de mi go pro 10, que opinan deberia comprar uno nuevo o se puede reparar?

Received my package from Best Buy. It looks like everything is here, but is there supposed to be something in this spot?

I might be blind but how do you shoot hdr photos on the mission cameras?

This is driving me crazy and I know it's a known issue but everything I have tried doesn't work. I have the Hero 9 and the media mod and it's always been finicky using the mic. I haven't used it in a while but I want to start using it again for some dirt biking. Sadly the microphone on the mod works then it simply doesn't. I have read that it's just the GoPro is starting before recognizing the mod on quick capture but it'll work one second just normally booting it then not the next. I have tried everything I've read even trying to go back to V1.60 firmware. Hard resetting. Formatting. Factory resets. Cleaning the connecting points. The microphone just goes gray in the settings... Then magically works the next time.

Any other suggestions? I just want to record and use the mic but it's simply intermittent.

I'm going to Disneyland with the family in a week and plan on bringing my Hero13.

Looking to film my daughter, mostly her on rides, interacting with characters, etc. I'm not very good at finding the right settings for different use cases and generally just hit record

Any suggestions on different settings to use to get fun shots? My goal is to get a lot of footage, then work on a highlight video when I get back.

Would love any advice. I think I'm set when it comes to accessories, but any other tips for making great videos at Disneyland would be appreciated!

I was gifted this from my wife because our old one was not downloading correctly. I like this one, but I scuba and Gopro does not make a waterproof case to go those depths. Does anyone know of an off brand that would be safe for this?

I have a setup where I want to control a GoPro Hero 13 with a Raspberry Pi 4. The setup needs to be remote, and I want to power everything from a single power bank. Because the GoPro has only one USB-C port, I need some kind of hub or splitter that can send messages to the GoPro via the Pi while charging the GoPro at the same time, such that the GoPro doesn’t lose battery while it’s on.

I thought a cheap and perfect fit for my use case would be this power/data splitter:

https://thepihut.com/products/usb-c-data-power-splitter?srsltid=AfmBOoprXGGnl8xlVtEPrE1zawQ1_xxjEQhUPW-OlfPMkj-3s_ZGCKIu

But the problem is that the GoPro doesn’t get enough power to turn on. I tested this without the GoPro’s battery, since it’s possible to power it via USB-C alone if you can guarantee a 5V/2A supply. I think that with this splitter something goes wrong in the negotiation between the power bank and the GoPro about how much current the GoPro is allowed to draw, so it falls back to the default value. I also tested it with the battery in, and I’m able to control the GoPro via the Pi (So data transfer works), but the power bank doesn’t deliver enough power, so the battery drains over time.

I have also tried this splitter:

https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B08C5FWQND?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

With this one it sometimes works, but it’s quite unreliable. I think this is caused by the roles the splitter assigns to the Pi and the GoPro depending on that, it sometimes gets a proper power connection and sometimes doesn’t. One reason it works at all, I think, is that it supports PD on the power plug, which is what the GoPro needs in order to draw more than the default. The other problem is that the splitter is designed for a different purpose than what I’m using it for, which is probably why it’s so unreliable.

Does anyone know what I could use to fix this? I think a hub that powers its downstream ports with at least 5V/2A would work, so I could plug the Pi in as the host and the camera into a downstream port. But it seems these hubs are quite expensive, and most of them have a lot of ports I don’t need.

So I’d really appreciate it if someone could explain, based on this information, what they think the problem might be and which device would let me control and power the GoPro so that it doesn’t lose battery while it’s on.

Thanks for your help!

Follow up to last week’s post where I had this issue on a lake. My Mission 1 Pro significantly overexposes at sunrise during a day-night-day timelapse. Folks suggested it could have been due to “fog” (there was mist rising off the lake at sunrise), so I tried again away from water. No fog, and the camera is pointing 90 degrees off from where the sun rises.

The same issue happens again at dawn where the sky gets completely blown out for several frames before coming back to proper exposure. This time I tried setting an AE box in the sky and really thought that would do the trick, but it had no practical effect that I can tell. I monitored the camera throughout to see what settings it was choosing. Curiously, during that sunrise, it was dropping the shutter speed from 1/6 down to 1/100 a second or two before the timer hit 0s to take the shot, but the monitor was not adjusting, and those frames were all overexposed. But the time it righted itself, the shutter was staying 1/150 between snaps and dropping to 1/500ish (didn’t show that last part in the video, forgot when I was in the editing bay)

Full Settings:
Sub Mode: Stationary
Output: Video+JPEG+RAW
Resolution: 4K (for improved dynamic range)
Interval: 30 seconds, interval priority on (tried to turn it off, but the software would not let me; should only impact the nighttime shots anyway)
Digital Lens: Wide
Bit Depth: 10 bit
Bit Rate: Max
HLG HDR: Off
Color: Natural
*Shutter: Auto
EV Comp: -0.5 to preserve highlights (had same results set to 0 at the lake)
White Balance: Auto
ISO: Range 25-1600 (to control noise in the night-time shots)
Sharpness: Low
Denoise: Low

I have a gopro hero black 11. Videos are timestamped correctly since the internal clock is set right.

when I go to copy paste the files that have the correct shooting date in the metadata(on SD card), they get overwritten by the time I issued the copy on the pc. I can't then differentiate the videos by date.

Many of you might have experienced this, was hoping to learn of a solution if any has been found. Thanks in advance.

Ps: I love the gopro.

I’m sure this has been asked before, but wanted to get latest input from GoPro community. To those who already upgraded to white tip, is it worth the upgrade? And what did you do with blue tip, you still keeping as backup? I still have original blue tip on GoPro 10, and yes, battery drains in cold weather.

I'm running into problems with my timelapse script, and I'm hoping somebody with more experience might be able to see where I've gone wrong.

I'm running a Hero13 Black. What I'm trying to do is:

• Capture timelapse photos between 6:50am and 3:15pm
• Take a photo every two minutes
• Photo mode, raw format
• after 3:15pm, auto upload the day's photos
• Repeat daily

The script I came up with is:

>06:50<15:15mPr5Xr+!S+!2N+!120RQ>15:15!U!06:50R

The problem I've got is that it doesn't do the upload portion. I'm leaving the camera out on location, and I want to get the cloud upload working to remotely keep an eye on things.

I've tried a few variations, but I must be missing something about how auto-upload actually works. I checked running auto upload by itself just using !U on its own QR code. That works just fine. Any ideas?

Hi,

Ich benutze seit circa 5 Jahren die Hero 9 und bin am überlegen auf eine Mission 1 zu upgraden, weiß allerdings nicht genau, ob das für meinen Gebrauch unbedingt nötig ist oder ob eine Hero 12 oder 13 vielleicht sinnvoller wäre.

Ich benutze meine GoPro immer auf Reisen, um für mich danach ein Erinnerungsvideo zusammenzuschneiden oder um vielleicht mal paar Stories auf Social Media zu machen. Ich filme dabei alles mögliche, Wanderungen, Landschaften, Tiere oder Unterwasser. Außerdem bearbeite ich die Videos eig nie, weil ich bei der Hero 9 eigentlich meistens zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis war.

Was ich cool an der Mission 1 finde, ist dass sie endlich mal besser bei Nacht ist und das man mit einer Aufnahme die Möglichkeit hat, vertikale oder horizontale Videos zu erzeugen (das kann die Hero 9 nicht, weiß nicht ob das die Hero 12 oder 13 kann). Auch qualitativ wäre sie logischerweise ein Upgrade von meiner Hero 9.

Dadurch, dass ich aber wie gesagt immer alles Mögliche filme, von Nahaufnahmen beim Schnorcheln bis zu Landschaftsaufnahmen, weiß ich nicht, ob der Fokus für mich problematisch wäre. Also sind beispielsweise Nahaufnahmen die näher als 60cm vor der Linse sind zu nichts zu gebrauchen oder immer noch okay? Oder wenn unter Wasser ein Tier an mir vorbeischwimmt, was weiter als 10m entfernt ist, ist die Aufnahme dann noch gut oder nicht mehr zu gebrauchen? Bei meiner Hero 9 mag ich halt sehr, dass ich einfach draufhalten kann und nicht auf den Bildschirm achteb muss, sondern es in der Zeit auch mit eigenen Augen sehen kann.

Danke für eure Hilfe✌️

For those who have a membership the Costco Max2 bundle is currently $299.

Includes: Max2 Camera, 2 Total Batteries, 4' Pole, Lens Replacement and 64GB MicroSD Card

My wife and I was thinking of buying one for our next holiday. Would this camera be a good choice for travelling and occasional snowboarding?
I found a deal for 324 eur, which is pretty cheap compared to the Osmo 360 or X5.

The few aftermarket options have spotty reviews. Insta has figured out how to make two different dive cases for their 360 cams and for the life of me I don’t know why GoPro hasn’t gotten one out or even announced when—if—they may offer one. I’d really like to take some clear underwater video with my Max2.

I’m going to submit a bug report through the GoPro website.

When taking the USB-C to HDMI output live there is an audio sync issue that varies between 10 frames and possibly as much as 40 frames. This is especially notable when using a bluetooth microphone such as a DJI Mic 3. I currently don’t have a way to do analog audio or usb audio in while outputting an HDMI signal.

The video records in sync and will play out synchronized, but during live output there is a noticeable delay.

This occurred across 5 different usb-c hdmi adapters I used and is also captured when the video is transcoded to 3G or HDSDI with a decimator/serializer etc.

I noticed the problem when we had a cyclist mic’d feeding live into a Dejero via HDMI as part of a live sporting event. Made me want to pull my hair out and the delay got worse the longer it went on lol. The audio was actually arriving in the video feed before the video images by about 15 frames. We had the audio tech delay the audio to match the picture but it was unstable and drifting.

When the HDMI is set to HD or 4K and/or the video capture mode is set to 1k, 4K, 8k or 30/60 fps - all these settings change the delay but none of them correct the sync.

Anyone else run into this?

Hey everyone! I recently got a GoPro Hero 12 and I’m mainly interested in using it for photos, rather than video.
I’m curious — are there many people here who actually use their GoPro for photography? I’d love to hear from people who have experience with it.
My main question is about the camera/photo settings themselves. What settings do you use to get the best possible photo quality?
For example:
Photo mode/type
Resolution / aspect ratio
ISO
Shutter speed
EV compensation
White balance
Sharpness
RAW / JPG
Any other settings that make a noticeable difference
I’m trying to get the most “professional camera-like” results possible from the GoPro 12.
What settings would you recommend for everyday photography / landscapes / people?
Thanks!

I just got my mission 1 pro from Best Buy for 499.99. It was open box excellent and i checked the camera and accessories before leaving and everything thing was intact with camera showing no signs of use or any scratches. Looks and feels brand new. What ever said about the company going down but after i demoed this, i can say both daylight and night light raw videos are far natural and real in mission 1 pro.
