Wow! Thanks for the epic in-depth walk through of HERO11 Black 🤝
Thanks!
Good video good patience 🤗
Would it be good for riding atvs?
Yes, the GoPro is a great choice to film ATV adventures.
@@GreatDayForAHike I just got finished doing the Night Lapse, but I noticed the video is 54 minutes long. And I don’t think it came out as a night video though.
Absolutely great. Thanks for the detailed walkthrough.
Thank you for making this video , you showed a lot of thorough features that nobody does. Made me understand the camera and app a lot. Makes my decision easier as well.
Watched all the video. Rewound several times. Learned a whole lot. I had a GoPro 4 that I never figured out. I'm going to town with this one! Thanks so much for being so concise! Really appreciated that!
Hi there! I've just watched all of your vid, epic effort I have to say! Full of useful tips. especially the editing app, I have had a couple of GoPro's now and I'm using the 11 which I love. I have picked up a lot of tips from you, especially the Quik app. I didn't realise you could do so much with this, especially when you want to make a quick vid without having to sit infront of a computer. Brilliant content, well done and thank you! 😃
THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT TUTORIAL!!f This is my first Go Pro and this complete explaining really helped me get going!!
dude you're the best
English is not my main language but this video was so smooth and light to understand and to keep me focused and watched it all
Thank you so much for this great video and because of you now I'm getting a new GP11
super useful video, thanks for all you
Excellent walk-through of all features. Thanks a ton! 🙏
You’re welcome and I appreciate your feedback.
Extremely helpful to be able to go through this Gopro tutorial as you need. If need be, great to be able to watch something several times, if not understood. Also nice to revisit a feature not used in a long time and forgotten.
Love how basic to detailed settings are explained. Accessories also explained. Extremely well done, and very much appreciated! Will come back to this time and again and hopefully make some great videos w/husband as retired seniors!
I really appreciate your feedback and am glad you found this useful. Happy GoPro’ing!

Thank you very much for your tuto video. It's a long video, it provides a lot of useful information, a full sharing. Your work meets the expectations of many people.
I appreciate your feedback!
Thank You So Much! As I never had a Go Pro, jumping into an 11 is a challenge. Much to absorb and you made it clear, concise and easy to follow. I had to save it and go back to it several times as you covered a vast amount of info. Thanks again!
You’re welcome and I appreciate your feedback!
Excellent job!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video... just bought this one and it is my first GoPro camera, so... thank you for the video!

Thank you. I appreciate your feedback!
Thank you! BTW the USB pass through door link takes you to a regular replacement door.
I received mine yesterday. Great video!
That’s great! Enjoy it!
Will be getting one of these babies soon. Need a more rugged option for photos and videos when I’m out and about in my active life. The iPhone is delicate and cumbersome.
This is probably the best video I have seen on CZcams in a VERY LONG time. Nice job, I learned a lot about this camera and was really looking for a video that would cover everything. Thanks!!!
Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate it and hope that you enjoy your Hero 11!
@@GreatDayForAHike i was going to purchase one, please i want to know if you can set the beeping turn off or disable when turning the power on and off
I always learn a ton from your walk throughs!
I am glad to hear this and appreciate your feedback!
A detailed and proper video to understand the functionality of GoPro. Very useful for me, learnt a lot.
I appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
Great video! Thank you for clearly explaining all of the ins and outs of this camera, it can be daunting at first.
Thank you!
One of the most thorough and helpful channels on CZcams, in regards to gopros. Great video.
I appreciate your feedback and support.
Thank you for sharing all this. A very helpful video! 👍

Thank you. I appreciate it!
Thank you sir!! Best tutorial ever!!
I appreciate your feedback!
You are a pro! Many thanks for your very-very usefull and well-structured tutorials!
I appreciate your feedback and support!
Outstanding video. Thank you for your effort!
I appreciate your feedback!
Thanks for this!!
You’re welcome!
Great walkthrough! The rubber on the mount in addition to helping to prevent the mount from detaching also serves as vibration dampening by filling in the spaces that would otherwise allow the mount to jiggle. It is a tremendous improvement over the previous mount where you had the white rubber piece that would notoriously break or come off.
I appreciate your feedback and explanation!
Very comprehensive! Great job! Would like to see more on the three new Night modes. Thanks for doing this!
Thank you for your feedback. Absolutely, I’ve got some content I am working on related to each of these along with lots of samples that I will be sharing.
@@GreatDayForAHike Looking forward to it! I have the GoPro 10, but with the new Night Modes and other improvements, thinking about upgrading to the 11. Think there are enough improvements to make the jump to the 11?
This is a great question and ultimately I would say this depends upon your specific use cases of the GoPro. If you value having 10-bit video, the Full Frame mode for more editing flexibility or some of the new night modes then I would say it’s worth looking at for an upgrade. If you don’t want to use those features then it may not be worth the upgrade.
What a great video! Fantastic tips for both new an old GoPro owners. Cheers
I appreciate it!
Nicely done! I just bought a gopro 11 and been looking for a good informative tutorial video without all the fuss and nonsense just straight to the point. Two thumbs up!
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback and am glad you found this helpful. Enjoy your Hero 11!
nice guide line thanks a lots bro
I appreciate your feedback
This is a Really great video, Nice Job !!!!!
Thank you!
This is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen on CZcams. I was watching one earlier and the person knew what he was talking about but didn't explain how to navigate to the menu on the subject. I spent more time trying to find where he was on the menu than actually learning anything. Your navigation was spot on. Thanks
I appreciate your feedback and am glad you found this helpful.
Still waiting for my GoPro 11. Looking to learn how to use it and this was an AWESOME tutorial. Many thanks for taking the time to make it. Really appreciate it.
You’re welcome and I appreciate your feedback.
It's just interesting 🤔 that I bought GOPRO 11 BLACK, and the settings that came with it are so annoying;, I couldn't get good vibes out of it. I have gone through videos on CZcams of GOPRO to get good settings and I haven't seen the BEST like this one. Now I am able to take good clear GOPRO videos after your video watch. Thanks for your time 🙏👌
I really appreciate your feedback and am happy to hear this video helped you!
EXCELLENT video. Thank you 🙏🏽 I’m new to GoPro. I’m taking it for excursions on my week-long cruise. I figured it was time to let my iPhone rest. I appreciate the detailed lesson. Again, thanks. 😊
I appreciate your feedback!
@@GreatDayForAHike Seriously. I would vote this video one of the best on CZcams! 👏🏽🙌🏽
Thank you for an amazing explanation of so much for us!
Question: How does extreme cold affect the Hero11? What tips can you or anyone give for snow storm filming, out door, extreme cold such as underwater in ice fishing holes 🕳? Thanks so much for everything!
Very comprehensive, thank you. I’m looking at purchasing one to replace my DJI Osmo Action for timelapse.
I appreciate your feedback. The time lapse feature on the GoPro is one of my favorites because it works so well.
When I saw the video was almost two hours long I though No Way! Then I watched the whole thing. Great practical intro even for people with lots of camera experience. Thanks
I appreciate your feedback and support. I lost track of how many hours this video took to film, create, edit, etc 😂
Great video. I haven't decided about the 11 yet. My 10 really does everything I need. But we'll see.
Thank you. Yes, there are a few features on the 11 that some may value/use but if not then the 10 is a perfectly great GoPro.
I was looking for 2 settings options and found them in the chapters. The information was so comprehensive that I started over from the beginning. I've been using GoPro's for some time and thought I knew a lot. This just proves that "You don't know, what you don't know". Now I know a lot more. Thank you for the perfect tutorial.
I appreciate your feedback and I’m glad you found this helpful!
One of the best ever tutorials for Gopro11
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Incredible detail by GDFAH, I would image this video took considerably more time to produce than the 1hr:50min that I watched. I'm coming from a GoPro 3 to the GoPro 11, so I copied every setting you laid out in the video to get started. I appreciate your straight forward presentation without the "In Your Face" approach to get attention that so many CZcamsrs use. Worth every penny of my $10 donation !!!
I really appreciate your feedback and support!
The GoPro 3 was a great camera. That was the first GoPro I owned. The Hero 11 has been a great camera so far and I hope you have a lot of fun with yours.
Sensational - thank you so much for the detailed guide!
Quick question. I’m struggling with filming with GoPro 11 for Instagram. Did I understand right that I should rotate lock and horizon lock and film horizontally and then edit to Instagram ratio after rather than filming vertically ? Thanks
Great question. If you want to adjust it later on for Instagram I would recommend filming using the 8:7 aspect ratio in 5.3K. You can then crop this to the vertical Instagram aspect ratio using the GoPro Quik app. This will give you a lot of flexibility to frame your shots exactly as you want them.
@@GreatDayForAHike Thank you very much, I will give it a go. I set up my GoPro 11 following your tips and I must say quality of footage and photos improved immensely so thank you!
This is great to hear!
Awesome video thanks!
You’re welcome!
my first GoPro was a Hero-2 bought for fishing video. Due to health reasons, I did not use that one more than 5-6 times, and still at home in a new condition. later bought a smartphone, plus from 2003 bought 4th Canon (the last one M50). all of them work, but older ones are now obsolete. Recently bought Hero11, but did not know that in Sept they would bring
Hero12 was in the market before Sept 1, I bought it and now thinking of returning it. Costco allows 90 days of returns. I saw your Hero 10 setting, so will follow 11 and 12 sure. thanks for the nice video explained with patience.
I just bought the 11. This is my very first GoPro ever. Thank you so very much!
That’s exciting. Enjoy your Hero 11. It’s definitely my favorite GoPro so far!
Brilliant in depth video before i purchase an 11, Thanks
Thank you.
Absolute legend mate. Just got my Hero11 today and went through all the settings with you and now I have a much better understanding of all it's features. Thanks for the great info 👍

Question: What about the new function „auto iso“ Do you recommend it in some situations?
Love the way you explain the stuff.
I'm German and I understand English, but you explain everything very clearly and not too fast.
I wish my English teacher would have explained everything so clearly :D

You’re welcome.
dude this video was incredible....I bought the gopro hero 11 black yesterday and I had no clue how to set it up. Thankfully I found this video and it saved me so much time, patience, and energy i really appreciate this.
How's the performance of the Go pro 11 black ?
@@goingwithamit8774 had it for 6 months and I love it! I use it for vlogging, music recording, and as an action camera as it was intended. Really no complaints. I used to have the Hero 5…this is just a HUGE upgrade obviously.
I have been really happy with mine as well. I own the competitors to the Hero 11 as well and unless I have a 360 degree use case, the Hero 11 is my first choice of the action camera to grab when I head out on an adventure.
I know this video is now 2 months old. Very good and quite comprehensive.showing all of the Hero 11 black. I bought the Hero 9 2 years ago and while it lacks some features of the 10, and 11, it's quite feature packed and I tend to use standard with linear to reduce the tendency of straight lines like poles from curving at the edges. I did do a few minor mods to the settings however, one correction. The way the Hero is shipped now began with the Hero 9 as mine came with the same case, though the logo is white, not blue being the only difference.
I have 2 cameras as in 2019, bought a used Canon Vixia camcorder that only does 1080P and the only thing it lacks is a cold shoe. It, does have the external jacks for headphones and mic but a year later, bought the GoPro H9 and it's basically replaced the Canon for most shooting. I do use the Canon as a second camera for 2 camera shoots, using the built in mics to get the scratch audio for syncing up with the Gopro. The ONE thing I'd love is for Gopro to bring back the preview while taping but it's not a deal breaker and yes, I do use the front screen.
The ONLY issue I have is that it's easy to get one's greasy paws on the lens and thus get a good smear if not careful. So check to be certain the lens is cleaned before shooting. It's amazing how much better the image looks when it's clean. If running Windows 10, perhaps 11, get the H.165 codec (HEVC) from Microsoft (a whole $1) and nix transcoding as that'll help your overall image a bit as well as saving you time for that task in your workflow. This is especially true if you are using proxies in your editing software as for slower PC's, it'll help with 1080+ footage, otherwise, you'll need to transcode to a more edit friendly format than H.264/265.
I appreciate all of your feedback and thoughts you offer here. I’m glad you found this video helpful.
Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Excellent video, thanks for sharing! I have just compared the iPhone 14 Pro with the GoPro Hero 11. During testing I was surprised to see that the iPhone Action Mode offered little improvement in stabilisation when compared to the stabilisation in the “normal” iPhone video setting. All the best, TruePreView
Thank you for your feedback! Yes, the iPhone does certain video functions really well but the action mode on the iPhone seems like it needs some more research and development before it becomes a viable competitive option to dedicated action cameras for the purpose of action filming.
