I would suggest a really long usb-c cable I have used 20 ft long cord to record Timelapse so you can use a battery pack or just plug it in.
Absolutely superb video😊👍. Clarified a ton of stuff and made me rethink my accessories so have just ordered the Dji wireless mic😊👍
Amazing!!! Thank you
You’re welcome!
Thank you. Great accessories. I found the Volta to be really useful in many ways.
Yes, the Volta has been a great accessory. More useful than I initially thought it would be.
Cheers, really useful!😊
Thank you!
Thanks for the info. I have most of these and all are great! I did just get the floatie from GoPro and also Volta at Christmas :)
You’re welcome. Those are great additions to your accessories!
Nice work Great Day! Love the content as usual!
Question... does anyone know how to extend the range of The Remote? The Bluetooth device is rated for 196', but would it be too much to ask for, say 1320' (1/4 mile)? I've looked at repeaters and transmitter combos, and extenders, they just seem geared for audio. Thanks a bunch!
Very helpful video. Really like your channel. Here's one more suggestion for an accessory that I find very useful----labels for SD cards. When on travel( or even at home-) it's tricky keeping track of all the micro sd cards from multiple GoPros, multiple drones, a DJI Pocket 2 , etc. So I keep all the micro sd cards in their SD card sleeves and label those cards to help keep track of content. I then keep all those cards in SD card holders similar to what you've shown.
Great tip!
Great vid, very helpful!
Thank you!
Extremely helpful, sir. Liked and subscribed!
Thank you. I appreciate your feedback and support!
Thanks for sharing ZGCINE !🥰🥰
I really like the new design. Small and portable while still being just as fast with the charging.
@@GreatDayForAHike Thank you for your recognition!🤛
outstanding content thanks
Thank you
on your advice on a previous video, you mentioned the Akner battery pack. I bought one and it has been one of the best purchases ever. A great piece of equipment to recharge a multiple of devices.
This is great to hear! Yes, I found the first one so useful I ended up buying a few of those. They work great for powering and charging not only my GoPro but my phone and other gear as well.
Great video to be prepared. I might have missed it but worth mentioning that the Volta has a mounting point on the bottom. No other selfie stick they sale has that.
Absolutely. That extra mounting point is key to mention as it can fulfill some unique/special mounting situations and needs.
Great shout on the Gumby - I'd not heard of it before and have been looking for other options for mounting on a sea kayak - suction mounts don't work well on plastic kayaks. Going to give the Gumby a try. Thanks
You’re welcome. Yes, Gumby is great for those situations when a lot of the other mount options just won’t quite do what is needed.
Great commentary with selected accessories. Very helpful and informative as always. Thanks a million! Cheers
I appreciate it.
I just bought my 1st GoPro, Hero 11, tonight! great video and thanks.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy your Hero 11.
Good videos !! With the Volta, can I use the Volta without the internal battery inside the gopro ??. . . . .or must the internal battery be inside the gopro all the time ??
Nice job
Thank you
Do you have any exp with the go pro max mod light that allows you to record up to 155 degrees?
Great video, I have been using an Anker for my iPhone. It’s been great. I manage to charge my phone as well as my wife’s from the same charge. Volta is good for the GoPro. Just bought the GoPro 12 creator edition. I hope it does well for me. I just worry about overheating. And recently watched your video on overheating as well. Thank you for sharing. I recently got moved ad got married in Vietnam. So I plan to use the GoPro. On my adventures. By the way. Just subscribed to your channel😊
Sounds like some great adventures you have to look forward to. Thank you for your feedback and support!
Hi Author of this channel. I have GoPro 10 and I am interested what would you recommend me as an underwater tripod for filming fish in still freshwater clear courses? I will submerse camera only while sitting in a boat, drop some boiled stuff in front of the camera or a minnow and leave camera and light on for about 2hrs and then comeback. What settings would you recommend for night and day underwater shooting? As a tripod I want to use a 5 liter plastic bottle with a handle on the neck, put some lead weights inside to ensure bottom is more heavy than top side, attach a camera with wires thru holes in plastic with lights on from AliExpress, 20m rated, tie a rope to a bottle handle and fix the other end of a rope to reeds. Cheers from Kazakhstan )))
Great video, very helpful. How about using gimbal on the move? Are you using any? Or you find it to cumbersome? I'm still in between when it comes to my hiking gear. I usually have things attached somehow to my backpack either to film it from there or to quickly unmount it and use handheld. For photos I use DSLR so usually I look like Christmas tree with all the stuff attached ;) Gimbal is great but difficult to mount/dismount. What about Volta + hypersmooth in latest gopro? Is it enough without gimbal? Any way of attaching it to backpack and quickly unmounting or filming when mounted on backpack? I still haven't found a good setup/solution without switching accessories constantly. How are you traveling/dealing with it? Edit: I own GoPro 7 and I'll probably will upgrade to 11 to have internal stabilization
Thank you. I do use a gimbal in certain filming situations, including most of the time when I am using ND filters. I use the Inkee Falcon or the Hohem iSteady Pro 4. If you are using Hypersmooth with the Volta, a gimbal is typically not going to be needed as long as you are in good lighting. If filming in low lighting Hypersmooth will not tend to work well due to the slower shutter speed and will create jittery footage. That is when a gimbal can be useful with Hypersmooth turned off. The Hero 11 does also offer a boost to the Hypersmooth which can provide an even greater degree of stabilization with the trade-off of a bit more cropping.
Best Wishes for 2023
Thank you. The same to you!
Looks more like a Pokey than a Gumby 🤣 Great vid. Thanks
Valid point 😂
I just want to know the story of what happened that caused you to make sure you never run out of battery power ever again 🤣🤣
I was on some epic hikes in Hawaii back in April 2017, including over some active lava flows down near the ocean. My wife and I rode bikes about 5 miles to get to where we were hiking. I captured some epic footage but I only had one extra battery and my first battery ran down quicker than expected due to my GoPro accidentally powering on in my pocket. Missed out on some neat footage.
Also, remember, the GoPro battery only lasts maybe an hour, the new Enduro will last longer, and holds up better to the cold so that helps, but always best to have at least 2 batteries, best to have 3, or 4 if on a long shoot. That is, per camera if taking more than one.
@johnhpalmer6098 yes, agreed. The batteries are small enough that it isn’t a big deal to bring a few extra along too.
@@GreatDayForAHikeits the price thats the issue for most,it’s never the space it will occupy.
@Roads.of.Mumbai Fair point as well. That is part of my focus with accessories as well. Buying the ones that are most used and not spending money on accessories that will not get much use.
Going in Cayman Island and wanted to shoot some great snorkeling and diving photos under water. Can you do a video for the under water shooting settings with hero 11 for photos and videos please
Sounds like a fun trip! I created this video that shows recommended best settings for the Hero 11 including general best settings: czcams.com/video/5rck0XpGdp4/video.html
I recommend checking that out and then it could be a good idea to test out your GoPro with these settings in a smaller body of water closer to home (if possible) to ensure you like how the footage looks.
i tried the foam and the fuzzy and like in your testing, the wind noise persist.
The best solution was the water prove box that muffler the sound and get rid of any wind noise.
i will try covering the mic holes with tape. i dont speak when i am riding, i just dont want wind noise at all.
thanks.
Hugs. Carlos m.
Thanks for this feedback as this may be helpful for others as well.
Concerning the DJI Wireless Mics, can you record sound with both external mics And the gopro hero 11 mic also?
I am looking to be able to capture my companions' voices with the wireless and my own with the gopro itself as the photographer.
Thanks!
I know this is a 4 month old question but here goes... If you have the DJI or the Rode Wireless Go or Hollywood Lark 150, they all come with 2 transmitters and a receiver, so you can use both at the same time, just set it to stereo and leave each mic on its own track and then mix in post. I have the Hero 9 and it seems it only either does the camera mics, the media mod or external, but combined so using a wireless 2 mic system is the best solution I know of.
Conversely, get a Zoom or Tascam etc audio recorder and record your guest and you on separate tracks and then use the camera's mics or the media mod as scratch audio and sync them in post.
Thanks for your feedback here. Much appreciated!
Hi can you do a video on using ND filters on DJI Osmo Action 3 ( Freewell Brand )
Yes, I have a bunch of these ND filters and am in the process of finishing this video. I did an extensive testing process to pinpoint the best settings and techniques so that I can help anyone interested get the most out of their ND filters with the Osmo Action 3.
@@GreatDayForAHike thank you I will keep a look out for that video
Can I use wireless mic rx as a shotgun mic with the tx also mounted on GoPro or will that cause feedback?
I have not tested this specific scenario but with wireless mic kits you may be able to do this without feedback.
My list
1. Go Pro
2. Shorty Stick
3. Battery
Good list and focus on key components.
Hello there I was wondering; Does the Volta come with the USB pass-through since it uses it to connect or no?
Yes, the Volta includes the USB pass-through door as well as the following:
Thumbscrew
Wrist Lanyard
USB-C to USB-A Cable
@@GreatDayForAHike Thanks for letting me know; there's no mention of it at all on the website but it's there in every image!
Can I use a USB-C splitter on the Hero 11 so I can simultaneously connect the Volta and an external microphone like the Rode Wireless Go2 or the DJI Mic? Thanks!
I haven't attempted this before so I cannot say for sure. My initial expectation is this would probably not work, but it could be worth trying to find out for sure.
@@GreatDayForAHike Thanks for your reply - much appreciated. I found the perfect solution. I can connect the Volta to the USB-C port of the Media Mod, and the DJI Mic into the 3.5mm jack of the Media Mod. Or, I can just use the DJI Mic completely wireless and simply sync the video with the audio afterwards during editing. Problem solved.
Excellent. Yes, I find myself often using the DJI Mic wirelessly and syncing later and it works well.
Hi G what is your thoughts on going from the H9 to H11 still learning a lot as i go on I started with the H3 on to the H7 now sitting with the H9 buzzed up about the 11 what to do
Great question. H9 to H11 is an upgrade that would offer two big things: 10-bit video on the H11 vs 8-bit video on the H9. A more powerful chip on the H11 that gives more responsive performance with the touchscreen and normal usage of the camera. The H11 has lots of other features as well including the star trails, light trails, and other modes that do these things in-camera.
@@GreatDayForAHike i dont see any difference between 10bit and 8 bit from what i see from youtube videos
The difference can be subtle, especially when viewing on CZcams and depending upon the filming situation. The difference will often be seen in scenes with the sky or clouds.
The metal go pro mount that you recommend, does it fit on the Go Pro Volta?
I don't think so, it looks like it has the ear mounts and can be rotated, so no. The mount will work on any quick release plate with a 1/4/20 thread screw, which is a standard screw mount for cameras etc.
@johnhpalmer6098 Yes, I agree with your statement on this.
Whats the best way to upload our videos from my goprohero11 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 without loosing quality? Camera to mobile app?
At 12:03: DJI mike dos NOT have two RECEIVERS. It has TWO TRANSMITTERS and ONE receiver. the microphone is the transmitter, man...
Thanks for correcting me on that misspeak. You’re correct, it is two transmitters and one receiver.
Great vid, you just need to sort out your focus level, auto focus or appeture
You're handling the charging (pass trough) door wrong. The cable shall make a kind of loop and get IN the cable support, the hook over the aperture. That will prevent hard pulls of the cable.
Thanks. That is the best way to do it.
👍💪
Thanks
Awesome video. Listen at 1.25x
Thanks.
I use my GoPro to video for long periods. We all know the camera is subject to overheating. Doesn't the Media Mod hold the heat in and cause overheating?
Overeating on GoPro cameras to the point the camera shuts down is not something I have experienced when using them with the exception of one time when I intentionally forced an overheat on the camera which took quite a bit of effort and special combination of settings and conditions including using it in a warm, indoor environment.
Could the Media Mod make the GoPro hold in a bit more heat? Possibly. I’ve not ever had any of my GoPros overheat and shut down while using them with or without the Media Mod, so I cannot say for certain on that. The only action camera I have ever had overheat on me to the point it shut down while I was using it is the DJI Osmo Action 2.
Hi,sir! How have you been? I just buy a new gopro hero 11 black. But i have a problem with burnt itself and turn off went i record video for maybe 20 minuts. Why sir?
what error do you get? Does it overheat? You get and SD Card error?
Are you getting an overheating error?
yes, Sir!
I don't know why Sir, The problem is over heating and go pro turn off it self while recording video!
when it turn off, I touch the go pro body is too hot!
Can I use Zgcine for GoPro 11 pls
Yes it will charge those batteries.
@@GreatDayForAHike Because the spec only mentioned for GoPro 10/9/8/7 . Thanks
Yup, it just hasn’t been updated to include the 11 in the wording. The batteries in the 11 have the same connector type for charging.
@@GreatDayForAHike Does remote control need as essential for GoPro user pls
I find myself not using a remote control much or at all with my GoPro anymore because I can either use the Volta controls (when it is connected to it) or the controls on the Quik app on my phone.
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
Nice video and just buy an insta 360x3 and you won’t need 90% of those things lol all kidding aside nice video
LOL I own the Insta360 X3 as well. Insta360 X3 accessories are plentiful as well 😂
I don’t understand 🤷♂️ if you take these 11 things every time you go on an adventure, why would you have to go back to see what you took on 2022 adventures? 🤔 wouldn’t they already-be in your bag ready to bug out on an adventure ?
It’s because during the course of 2022 I brought many, many accessories above and beyond these too. In other words these 11 are the MVPs. The ones I either had with me each time or if I forgot one of these wished that I had brought it. I probably brought along more than 30 individual accessories during the course of 2022 (not all at once). These 11 are the ones that made the cut as the best and most useful.
