Upgrade from hero 10 to 13 worth it?

I’ve had my hero 10 since launch and haven’t been super impressed with the battery life. After my recent ski trip and all my batteries showing 90-100% and only lasting about 10minutes each. I started doing research on the new 13 and noticed they’ve upgraded the battery. Has anyone who upgraded noticed a big increase in battery life over the hero 10?

Need help with hero13 for dental POV videos

Hi I am interested in buying a Hero13 to capture pov dental videos like the title says.

I am thinking of headband mount and it would be angled downwards (My head tends to stay within 10 degrees of vertical with ergonomic loupes)

My working distance is around 20 inches so that's the distance the camera would be recording from.
It seems like the recording would be too wide even with digital zoom.
Any idea of what I could do (Something like a reasonably priced telephoto lens even with an adaptor) to give me an improved field of view.

Hope I explained this well and thank you for reading! Love the reddit community!

GoPro 360 footage warped after transfer… HELP.

Each time I transfer my 360 footage from the quik app to my phone, it is in landscape and greatly distorted. How can I save it in the perspective I want?! Preferably not distorted and vertical.

Tips for how to take underwater photos if you yourself are above water?

I would like to get some underwater images in pools and under logjams for a research project in a local stream that is mostly frozen over, with some areas of open water. Bluetooth connection is lost when the camera goes underwater, so shutter remote doesn't work. Any suggestions other than turning video on and just poking the camera around and hoping we get a good shot?

I have good tests with polycarbonate it’s almost 100% resistant to BBs and generally some hard hits but I have no idea if something that will cover and protect my lens ans display from those bbs(pellets) 🙏

Just impulse bought a 11 black, any third party max lens mods?

Hi, I've seen conflicting opinions on compatibility of mlm2.0 with the hero 11. I'm going skiing on Friday, been out the GoPro game a few years now while I was broke. I mostly do freeride sort of stuff, so love the look of the max lens mod where you can see your skis and the terrain below you. Are any of the third party max lens mods for the hero 11 worth it? I gather the official GoPro max lens mod 1.0 is trash, but some people say you can make the mlm2.0 work with gyro flow?

Any general tips? My last GoPro was he hero 7 black I bought new in 2018. Cheers

Some videos will not play from the Quick Cloud app on Iphone 13

I recently bought a GoPro 13.

Some video's from the cloud in the Quick app on my mobile phone (Iphone 13) are not opening and are stuck at "Processing your cloud footage" .

My videos are automatically removed from the SD card once the media is uploaded to the app so manually uploading again is not a option.

Does anyone have the same issues or know a solution?

How GOPRO folders do work exactly ?

Hello.

I am mainly doing Photomode_Intervals which give me 1 photo per X seconds I do decide. However I do not understand how the GOPRO folders do work exactly. I do have 101GOPRO, 102GOPRO etc

Do I understand rigth that each folder will have 1000 photos no matter when the Photos/Video are taken ?

I expected to have 1 folder = 1 shot of Photos mode...

Any workaround about it please ?
Thanks.

Turning off Auto Trim by default in the Quik app

Does anyone know how to turn off Auto Trim by default in the Quik app?

I am trying to edit my footage and I would rather select all the files and then manually trim them.

What I have to do now is select the files, go into each, turn off Auto Trim and then long press and Select All to get my full clip (even then I need to manually select the very beginning and end of each clip).

This gets a bit tiring.

I would also rather the music and theme were off by default (rather than on) as well as the Intro and Outro...

GoPro 9

Alright, so I’m trying to use my GoPro 9 as a webcam to capture myself and my PC gaming setup, such as the racing simulator guys do. I have the CamLink with the hmdi cord hooked up properly, I have the GoPro plugged up to an external usb charging station, such as an outlet. When I hook the GoPro up to TikTok and set up the camera, all is well for a bit, the video is coming through just fine, but after 10-20 minutes it randomly shuts down, it’s not hot to touch and just very confused on why it’s doing this. Has anyone else done something of this sort and knows why it does this? I hope this all makes sense.

Are gopro batteries this bad or do I have a dud?

I have a brand new 11 black edition.

I charge it up to full and in a week or so the battery is almost empty. The GoPro hasn't even been used.

Where is the power going? The air?

Quik alternate suggestions for MacBook

Just joined the Mac world and boy was I surprised to open the Quik for Mac app to find a message that "GoPro is announcing end of like of the GoPro Quik app for macOS". Although maybe not perfect, I loved the simplicity of pulling video from my cloud storage and throwing together a decent video in 15 minutes. Some questions regarding the matter:

  1. Is there a use for keeping the Quik application? I did notice that my Edits and Suggestions show in the Quik app and I can edit in these tabs.. so is it really dead? What's the deal?
  2. Should I just not use the app? I've done a little research and seen mention of the app hoarding storage. Is this a known issue?
  3. If I in fact do decide to switch to a different editor, what is the preference there? I have experience with Resolve, but again, really enjoyed the simplicity of Quik. Anything similar?
  4. What would be the best workflow if not using Quik? Download from GoPro cloud service? Pull media off SD?

Quite displeased with the state of GoPro these last few years.

Thoughts on Hero13 Accessories Bundle vs Creator edition

Hi all,

I've been looking to get a GoPro Hero13 for a while now, and it I just saw that they are having a sale, both on their website and major retailers. I wanted your opinion as I have never owned a GoPro product, which one would be best for me.

My main purpose for it is for a car review channel on youtube with a POV style of recording, similar to some big channels like AutotopNL. Obviously the main focus here is the camera which is the same regardless of the bundle, but would the accessories from the creator edition justify the price? I do like the Volta stand that comes with it, I just dont know if the other accessories are worth the $500 (on sale) vs the current $379 (also on sale) for the accessories bundle, which does come with an extra battery.

For reference, this is the accessories bundle vs the creator edition:

1. HERO13 Black Camera2. The Handler3. Enduro Battery (2x)4. Curved Adhesive Mount (2x)5. 64GB SanDisk MicroSD Card6. Camera Case

Creator edition:

1. HERO13 Black Camera2. Volta3. Media Mod4. Light Mod5. Enduro Battery6. Magnetic Latch Mount7. Curved Adhesive Mount8. Carrying Case

My GoPro Hero 5 got water leaked in, please help :(

Yesterday I took my camera to a little swimming in the river without a waterproof carcase. The camera didn't go too deep in the water, 2 meters deep at most. Suddenly the camera started failing, stopping recording, changing modes out of nowhere, turning on/off by itself out of nowhere every now and then, etc.

I opened the battery port as the camera was saying it was low on battery, and there I saw it got some water leaked in.

The videos that were recorded look good, however looks like the microphones got messed up since the audio only sounds like white noise.

Please help :(( I have the camera drying right now outside (It's summer right now)

Wildlife camera

Would a GoPro Hero 7 work well as a wildlife camera? I am thinking of using it in the back garden to record garden birds, hedgehogs etc. I have a wildlife camera which is motion sensor, but the image quality isn't up to much. I would be looking to place it on the tree in the garden, perhaps leave it on for an hour or two, maybe watch it live via bluetooth/wifi.
