Battery

Hey people I have a go pro 10 for around 3 years and today I found my go pro displays a message that battery is low and turns it off automatically. When I turn it on again it has 53% percent. I checked the battery and it’s getting chubby of course seems a problem but in your experience How long a battery lasts usually. BTW is the blue battery.

Got some Hero 13 Batteries and Charger... for my Hero 8

I've been stupid and asked, for christmas, for an official gopro charger with batteries, thinking that every gopro uses the same batteries (for some reason).

Is there a way to buy some kind of adapter to make the batteries work for my gopro or did I totally fucked up and just threw 100$ into absolutely nothing?

Which Gopro should I purchase?

I will be traveling and want to record my adventures. I am thinking of getting a gopro to film my trips. Anyone have any specific model they think would be the best. Is there really any difference between the newer versions and the older cheaper versions (ex. 10 vs 13)? Thank you!

Travelers! Do I need permit to film when I travel?

I am going to Uganda next month and when I google "can i film in uganda" i get a lot of results saying that I need to apply for a permit that I need to pay $175 for 30 days filming.

Is this applicable only for professionals?
I am just going with a small group of friends and I am thinking about bringing my action camera for personal documentation of the trip.

Floaty install

The foam seems really stiff and maybe not big enough for the 13. How to make this fit? How hard can I force it?

Just got a Hero 13 for Christmas, what accessories should I get?

Worth getting a mic? I’ll be fly fishing, dirt biking, skiing, and snowboarding, I already ordered the clear waterproof case for it.

Is the 8 to 13 good idea?

Hi all I have left over points on my loyalty program and would like a new GoPro. I was wondering if it was worth upgrading from my current camera 8/max to a 13. Cheers finn

When will the MAX 2 360 cam be released

Need a 360 action cam and would rather not buy a Insta360 V4 if GoPro will launch the Max 2 in 1st quarter of 2025. Will the Max 2 eclipse the V4 for performance and editing software?

Should I get a hero 5 session or GoPro hero 2024?

About 120€ difference for me. My application would be recordings on my vintage cars and maybe some track racing. Looked at a few videos and the quality does seem to be a bit washed out on the session. Would like some opinions, thanks!!

HELP! This red light keeps flashing and we can’t turn it on

We got this GoPro Hero for my 14 yo for Christmas. The red light has been flashing on the front and the back all day. The screen will not turn on anymore. He did get it on when he opened it, and it had 20% charge. It immediately died and we’ve charged it for hours and it’s still flashing. What can we do!?

GoPro13 Black

Hi, I just got a GoPro 13 black for Christmas. My only question is, is it ( without a case) waterproof? Like if I'm outdoors recording and it starts raining will it mess the camera up if I stay in the rain or if I drop it in water?

First gopro! Just need some help with setings and stuff :)

So basically I got a gopro for Christmas (Hero 10 in think?) And since I'm an avid skier I wanted to get some cool videos of me doing some fun stuff. I want to film in atleast 60 fps but whenever I set it to 60 or higher it always goes to 2x slowmo or something, will this make all my vids slow or does that get fixed automatically? Any other tips and stuff would be totaly appreciated too :)
