Does anybody know if a magnet will stick to the suction mount? (Dropped it in a pond)

I was kayaking last weekend with the suction mount attached to the front of the kayak. It came loose and I lost my GoPro in about 4 feet of weeds.

I’m thinking of going back and trying to magnet fish for it, but not sure if a magnet will actually stick to the GoPro or the mount. Can anyone tell me if this would work?

GoPro Settings HELP w/ Indoor Lighting

I don't know what I am doing wrong but my frustration level is at MAX right now--LOL.

Recording Space: 11x10 room with a standard ceiling fan mounted in the middle with tri-lamp fixture attached to it. Bulbs are 9W, 3K temp, LED.

I can't seem to stop the graininess. Color seems off to a certain degree. It's no where as close as what my iPhone 13 records video wise.

I have studio lights I can use, but I would rather not keep lugging / setting them up just to use my GoPro since I don't need them for my iPhone.

I have tried a variety of settings but as mentioned, nothing comes as close to my iPhone. Tried 4k 25 fps, shutter speed variations, ISO max 1600, etc.

Can anyone relay what they use in a similar recording environment?

GoPro 12 or something else? What accessories?

I’m wanting to get a GoPro (or other action cam, maybe the DJI action cam) to record my drives and upload them to YouTube, what GoPro should I get? I generally like getting the best of the best, and buying brand new which is why I’m considering the GoPro 12. Also what accessories should I look into to mount the camera to the ceiling of my car to record out of the front windshield? What about recording audio? I’m also going on a toad trip soon, that will probably be 15 hours of driving, what’s a good way to capture that? I would be stopping along the way, and would like to capture most if not all of the drive. I’d also like to capture parts of our vacation and the things we do. Any recommendations is greatly appreciated.

Help, why my video looks like this before I edit it?

Gopro11. I have been having this issue for a while. The video looks grey and lifeless until I color grade it on Dvinci resolve but it shouldn't look so bad to begin with.

Here are the settings I use: 4K 30fps, Linear, Hypersmooth on, 10 bit on, bit rate hight, shutter auto, EV -0.5, White balance 5000K, Iso min 100, Iso max 1600, Sharpness medium, Color vibrant. Am I doing something wrong?

Data overlay for gopro with gps

I'm a cyclist and I'm considering getting a GoPro. I intend to record many short segments from a single ride (let's say a total of 30-60 minutes from a 5-hour ride). I want to combine all these fragments into a single video with an overlay.

So, I'm wondering if I get a GoPro with GPS, would I be able to use third-party software to add the overlay based on the video data automatically? Or is it limited only to GoPro software, requiring manual syncing of the video with GPX data in third-party software?

How do you achieve this with the Hero 12?

Timestamp Batch edit in plus.gopro.com seems gone

For some reason, all my videos I took yesterday have the timestamp 1 Jan 2016. Thank you gopro.

I loaded them into plus.gopro.com, but the batch edit seems gone. No more date picker.

Okay to delete footage off of the SD card once it's uploaded to the app? Running out of SD card space. Would wipe the whole thing if my videos will be safe on the app.

Are underwater filters worth it?

Hi all!

I am kind of new to capturing underwater media and also to GoPro in general. I've watched a fair amount of videos and posts and can't seem to find a definitive answer...

Is it better to use red filters made for underwater (like PolarPro) or are they not worth it/not necessary?

Love to hear your guys' opinions on it!

Battery backup problem

Added a Suptig 7800 battery to my 11 Black. It worked fine with my 4 Silver, but the Gopro says there isn't enough power... that the camera needs 5V 2A, which is exactly what the Suptig puts out... ideas?

GoPro 11 settings for trail running

Hey all,

Just wondering what setting you'd recommend for resolution and frame rate for trail running.

I have a 5 day fastpack coming up and I was trying to decide on settings where I'd get good resolution and image quality. Is it as simple as maximizing these options? I'm assuming there's more to it than that.

Apologies for the novice question. I'm fairly new to my GoPro 11.

I'm looking to use the battery from my FPV drone to power a naked GoPro. I have a few drones with various battery sizes and strengths( 1s up to 6s).

What's the smallest battery I can use to power a naked gopro 11 or other GoPros?

Returns Query

TLDR: Does the GoPro case have to be sent back with a return?

I requested a return from GoPro and they’ve provided free shipping and an RMA that stipulates ONLY the camera need be returned.

Can I send the GoPro, safely secured in tons of bubble wrap in a package and keep the carry case supplied with the original purchase? (I’m hesitant to send the case as I may end up not receiving one back).

(Long story short I’ve been having issues with GoProH10 powering on when required. Needing to go through the rigmarole of ‘battery & SD card out, power in, battery in, SD card etc etc’ is a pain.)

TIA!

Hero10 as studio camera

Hi,

I am making an indoor youtube video studio for my work. I am planning to use hero10 as the studio camera. I know it’s not the best but I can’t afford a videography camera & I already own hero10 so thinking of using that only. Can anyone suggest how to I make the best of it? Any mounts that can be helpful, the mics that I can use and how much studio light am I looking at. Please consider that my knowledge is 0 in such youtube videos.

Any suggestions are welcome, thank you.

Disabling hypersmooth for livestreaming

I got a GoPro 12 for livestreamings. I am using a Max module to get a very wide view. Sadly with the hypersmooth stabilisation enabled, some black borders are showing on the edges of the camera when the camera is moving. I saw there is a mode you can activate when using the Max module but when doing so, the max FOV is smaller than when the mode is off. I need to have a very wide angle but without those black borders

Is there a work around those blackborders or a way to disable the hypersmooth mode for livestreaming?

When shooting a video (not livestreaming) the setup which works great is the following :

  • FOV : linear
  • Stabilization : disabeldMax objective : disabeld
  • Max objective : disabeld

Black borders

Tips for new user? (Hero 11 Black)

Hello everyone, I just bought my first GoPro. It is a Hero 11 Black. Charged it up for the first time yesternight. My memory card (512 GB) will arrive tomorrow and until then I'll just be exploring the interface and stuff.

Are there things I should keep in mind as a new user? I've never used a GoPro before and I want to get the best use out of mine. Please do give your personal tips for usage.

Note: I'm from India so we can't get GoPro Premium here, although I did subscribe to GoPro Qwik, which is the only sub available in my country.

Media uploads on plus.gopro.com/media-library/ have been failing

Is anyone else experiencing this. It's been this way for the lase 2 weeks. I have tried multiple browsers, multiple computers and my uploads are automatically cancelled. My process is take the SD card from the gopro and put it in the computer, log into my media library then upload all the video files from each camera. Typical upload for all files has been 2-3 hrs in the past year. But starting about 2 weeks ago all file uploads status changes instantly from Uploading to Cancelled. Any assistance would be appreciated.
