Hey! Anyone have any good links for go pro accessories for swimming and snorkelling? Currently have an Amazon floaty stick which works well but wanting something a bit less manual…

Also anyone got any good accessories in general / knock off ones they’d reccomend?

Thanks!

So today I filmed a soccer game, however , the sweat kind of ruined the whole video. Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you

I just got a Hero 11 recently. Was testing around and after 30 minutes the GoPro was overheated and the battery drained pretty fast. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

Hello everyone I was looking into getting a GoPro just to serve as a dashcam for when I'm on my bike so I dont need too many things.

I found someone selling the hero 8 with two sd cars and two battery's for $260 CAD (189 USD) which was my budget however I also found someone selling the hero 10 with the accessory bundle for $360 CAD (260 USD) and I was just wondering if its worth the extra $100 in this case or if the prices are reasonable in general for the two.

Thank you for your time reading my post!

Hi everyone, from what I was researching you can only shoot 5.3k 60fps in 16:9 ratio, except for a "super view" option. To my understanding this is taking a 4:3 image and making it 16:9.

Why doesn't gopro allow a 5.3k, 60fps, 4:3 ratio shooting? I would love 60fps 5.3k taller view for surfing, but they don't have this. Sounds like shooting in "super view" and then trying to edit it back to normal 4:3 in post is the only solution?

Hello fellow GoPro users. I had the GoPro 8 for about a year or just under, in the past 2-3 months I was not able to connect the GoPro 8 to my wifi, therefore, I wasn't able to upload stuff to the cloud. The way I'm using GoPro for is to record DJ sets when I'm out playing, then - I get back home and let the GoPro use the auto upload to the GoPro cloud - from the GoPro cloud I upload footage straight to yt. I spoke with GoPro few days ago and they offered me to send the GoPro 8 and they will send me GoPro 10 back, I was like sure I just want this bs to work properly. I just received the GoPro 10 l, it's all great and everything but for some reason, some of my SD card are not able to be uploaded, it's super weird coz it was all taken with my previous gorpo and I haven't used those SD cards for anything else.

Reason I'm stuck RN is because the GoPro cuts the long vids for 10 or 11 min short videos, then when it's uploaded to the cloud it comes as a full length vid, I'm not able to edit those vids in my current MacBook it's too heavy for him.

Any tips will be appreciated, I really need this footage in the cloud. Thx

Has anyone ever tried to mount the MAX under the saddle or under their garmin mount for cycling. What does the footage look like?

Hello everyone,

When I download the footage from my quik app, it does not downloaded in the best quality. I am using an android phone. Does anyone know why is this the case? Thank you

My 6monts old hero 11 mini didn't want record longer than 1 minute, and sometime less. After each capture a message appears on display like it trying to repair the file. Formating SD Card didn't help and also with brand new SD card didn't worked either.

So I brought it back to the shop. After two days I received the new one.

I'm afraid that new would have the same problem after while. So I'm concider to replace it with hero 11.

What are your experiences? Is hero 11 better?

I actually don't need the display, that's why I bought the mini and I like it very much.

Hello GoPro user's I am in need of some assistance. I am using a GoPro Chest Harness that I bought in order to hold a VR Tracker that I am building. I was having some issues around deciding on how I want the case to function as I don't actually own a GoPro so I have no way of knowing how this connects.

This is the harness that I bought off of Aliexpress "For GoPro Hero 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 SJCAM Insta360 X2 X3 DJI Osmo"

Now like I mentioned I have no idea how this would connect so I did some googling around and found the "GoPro J Hook Mount" to be the compatible object for this harness (seen below)

​

I am wondering if anyone has the sizing for the J Hook, more specifically its clip, that I could use in order for myself to CAD up the clip to be able to use on my VR tracker.

Heya! So I’m in the middle of a trip in Bali. I used my GoPro today while snorkelling and was using a SanDisk 64gb Ultra Micro SD.

Though I’m super upset rn, I’m clinging onto that 1% of hope that my files are recoverable. Error on the files on the camera are “Unable to view” and when I open up the SD card on my laptop I’m unable to see/ locate the files. ): Any help is appreciated 🙏🏽

Is it possible? This is the only device on my home network that I haven't found a setting to turn it off.

I'd hate to disable MAC filtering as a tool just because the GoPro can't do networking without randomly spoofing it's address.

Not afraid to say I know nothing about GoPro. Why am I using so much storage! I shot 11 videos ranging from 5-10min and it took up 90 GIG! That's HUGE! Only shot 4k25. My haggard old laptop won't even open the files and every time I attempt to transfer via cable I get an error (lost my SDXC adaptor) Background: I've been shooting vlog style on my phone for a few years, and it's great. I can review footage straight away to check lighting and audio, my Bluetooth lapel mic synchs audio as I record. But, it has issues. Like filling memory, I have to have my phone out in a dirty work environment, and I can't play music while shooting time-lapse. So I picked up some used GoPros to try instead. The 5 went flat before I could use it after being fully charged 7 days previous.... I was able to stab 25% into it while I was setting up and shooting intro. Set up a time lapse thay lasted about half an hour and it went flat and shut down. When I tried to export video it came up with an error, I figured corrupted and deleted it. No big loss.

My 7 was also flat, but being ran off a powered gimbal I could shoot with it. I usually shoot 4k60 and have to clear my phone of around 30-40 gig even 2 or 4 weeks, depending on how much interesting stuff I do. Shot the above mentioned 11 video. Can't view videos, can't export videos (my laptops fault. Not the gopro) so I don't even know if it's good! I also just noticed my "256" gig SanDisk ultra only had 119gig space on it. Damn AliExpress.... Before I sell these GoPros and all the accessories I bought, what should I try? Is there a way to quickly review footage?

Hello,

I have got GoPro 12. I need to set exposure to be taken manually from certain point by setting this "spot meter" (long pressing touch screen).

Question is - Will GoPro remember that setting after being turned off, or no, and after everytime i turn on camera i need to re set this spot lock?

Just got my new camera and went to get premium and it only accepts US zip codes for billing and has no alternative billing methods outside of a card. Anyone find a workaround to this?

I downloaded all my videos through the GoPro Quik app or so i thought i did because i clicked the download button and waited ‘til it finished. I had to delete it after to make space for new videos on my sd card. When i checked today, they were nowhere to be found. The sd card now has new videos. Is it still possible to recover the old videos?

How to connect

Unable to connect the gopro to iPhone.

Unable to detect.

Just got my hero 11 and been having nothing but issues with the app. App says new footage available to download but when I try, the app says no footage to download when there actually is. Also I can never download the new firmware update from the app. I'm an android user by the way. I have been using an adapter to upload footage to my phone for now but stupid me bought the gopro subscription for auto upload feature and I can't even use that ! Gopro is connected to my phone correctly and everything wifi is also good. What should I do next?

To give access to Quik to save a video, you need to give permission to "access your photos and videos".

But Quik apparently took this to mean it's ok to crawl all my photos and make random compilation videos, including sensitive tax forms and medical photos.

This is totally uncool and a big overreach. You can remove permissions for photos/videos, but then presumably you can't save? (Also, they've already had access to everything.)

Is there any way to allow saving videos but without giving access to all the photos on my device?

Also, there should be a class action against this, and they should auto-delete anyone's photos who didn't explicitly opt into all their photos being shared.

I recorded a few hours today. San disk extreme pro 256gb. I go to change batteries and put the camera on the desk for a few minutes. Turn it back on and the SD card is completely empty(was half full) . Kinda freaking out lol What do?

I’m looking into getting the 10 or 11 to mainly do Timelapse’s of thunderstorms. Is there much of a difference between the 2 as for as Timelapse’s goes? I know with the 11 you get the option of star Timelapse, but I’m not really interested in that.

I am trying to download a video from my GoPro to my phone. I downloaded the video to the GoPro app no problems. But when I try to save the video from my app to my camera roll it says not enough storage available. When I go to my phone settings it says I have 118 gigs available. The video is only 2 gigs. Any recommendations?
