No issues in mine. Sometimes just need a good factory reset and correct update. Never buy a GoPro produced on a Friday afternoon… 😂
On a Friday afternoon. Not in a Friday afternoon.
Apparently they produce only Monday mornings and Friday afternoons 😉
Wow "don't buy a defective unit", what a big brain move 🤯🤣
Guys, I have been using the hero 9 and 10 with out any issue. I'm wondering if it might be the SD cards you are using.
I only use Sandisk extreme pro and never had an sd card error.
Been using multiple gopros on every ride since the hero 4. Great cameras, and I have 3 hero 4 that still work today.
Why GoPro WHY?! I loved my hero 7 with a purple panda mic. Then after a year and half it started acting up. Now it’s untrustworthy. The newer gopros are even less reliable it sounds like. I’ve been using insta360 one r 4K mod and it’s super reliable. Video looks pretty good, not quite GoPro. But external mic doesn’t work well so I capture audio on a h2n. That’s fine when I’m on my own. But with the guys making them pull over every time I want to start or stop a camera is just too much. I hate everything now 😂
Insta360 are getting there! I have faith
@@MotoFeelz I’m actually setting up my one X2 as a helmet cam for long trips. That way I can just use it as is. You know what was a super good cam. The Sony fdr-x3000. 4K, optical stabilization, 3.5 mic right in with good auto leveling. Mine still works but I hate side mounted cameras.
@@TheGardenSnake what did you use for external audio on the x2?
No way you posted this today! I have the gopro10 in my amazon cart right now and this changed my mind. GoPros tripping out are so infuriating I laughed when you had to walk out of the room. Thanks for the info
Ahha BAIL!
7 black All day on Powamoto
You are the master of video cuts, so much info in so little time. Another nice uload!
Been using the 10 and I never had any of your issues, maybe you have a faulty model?
I hope GoPro would start spending more time perfectioning their products instead of pumping out new versions every year. I also hope they really ditch that bullshit ecosystem that they try to force feed down your throat. I'd like to plug in my GoPro into my computer and just copy-paste the files off of it, instead of having to install their mediocre software and signing up and giving them all my info in order to get it off my product that I have purchased. I understand, use a card reader fixes that problem, but that adds unneccessary steps to my workflow.
I have windows and I can copy and paste right off the card. What kind software do they have thT you are forced to use on the computer
@@KennethGreenCMP What GoPro are you using?
@@motorcycle-man 2 - 9's and a 10
@@KennethGreenCMP i have used a gopro 4 and 10 and in both of them i have always just plugged the sd card in to my computer and just copy paste the files
I just found your channel! Love the banter with yourself while riding. I just bought the hero 10 but I've got 14 days to test on a road trip.
As a side note I ride my motorcycle around the world and I'll look to you for moto vlogging setup once I get back on it!
Keep it up man!
Timely video, I was about to pick up a hero 10. Look like I'll be waiting a bit! Random question, I can't seem to maintain GoPro video quality once I upload to CZcams. Could it be related to my export setting in Premier Pro? I dig your videos! Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
Yeah, I've experienced some of the same weirdness.... Locking up, not saving files etc.... That does piss me off big time. Battery thing isn't a worry as I have an Artman charger that charges 3 batteries at once (in a closed container) and I use that in my tank bag.... that is rock solid. But I hope they do fix it. By the way, if you like the push on ND, then check out the Sandisk variable ND. It pushes on and it's great that you can tune the ND density on the fly, but it's no good for adventure bike riding, I need the secure NDs.
I feel your pain and frustration!! I’ve had soo many problems with my hero10s too. When I got the SD card error, I blamed it on forgetting to format the sd card after removing footage of it via my computer. Happened after a full day of recording and the sd card showed up completely empty on my laptop 🤯 took me 1,5 day of googling and trying, but in the end, managed to recover 40gb of footage from that sd card using the recover software from recovergopro . com.What a relief but GoPro really messed up with this camera, I agree!
i was watching his review and then asked myself ; does itchy boot has the same problems , and then here you are . i think hero 4 and hero 7 are the best cameras for motovlogging , the think is hero 7 has low battery performs , it will be great if they fix that .
@@kechrider I've had major issues with the Hero 7. Go pro sent me replacements for it twice and even they were faulty...The quality of the newer Go pro's are so poor.
GoPro have recovering software!? Guess they wouldn't promote it that much haha. I see you've been rocking 2 Hero 10's and i've asked myself how you trust them.. but i guess you don't. Thanks for sharing Noraly!
Does fully formatting the Sd card work?
@@MotoFeelz DCRAINMAKER did a massive review on the camera saying it was so good and no overheating yet people are still recording overheating issues and problems with memory card . I really hate when these big youtubers make biased reviews because the company is clearly paying them.
Hey Bud, I'm looking to upgrade to GoPro but confused with 8 and 9. Can you suggest which will be better for moto-vlogging?
My question is, do you recommend using a case or housing? As a protection when you ride or mount it to motorcycle helmet?
I've just started using mine, I had a lot of those same issues with the 7 and 8 to be honest, especially the 7 with frozen screen issues. I've been using the 8 for a long while as it had less issues. With the freezing issue on the earlier cameras it was actually a setting issue. It's been ages, but I think it was the low light setting that caused freezes, and there was another likely culprit to disable which slips my mind - it may have been the auto-righting setting for when the camera was upside down. Once I turned those off the issues went away. May be a similar situation on the 10...
I'm hoping to do more vlogging style stuff on the new 10, but this doesn't make me too confident now! How do you record your audio if you don't mind me asking? I've basically never been happy with vlog audio, via the GoPro or an external recorder, but was going to give it another try with the media mod (which was just a waste of money on my 8). Was really hoping the 10 might change that, but will have to see.
Bloody GoPro huh
@@MotoFeelz Yep can't win! I had a DJI Osmo X3 for handheld stuff and that just stopped working after a few months and I could never contact DJI regarding warranty, which has made me a bit wary about other brands too. GoPro seem better on that front at least.
I'm assuming you updated to the recent FW on the 10? I'm still on the fence with these various issues so will use the Hero 8 and 7. Also do you have 2 Hero 10s- one on the helmet and one on the handlebar?
Mines been pretty decent... had one issue where external mic didn't work but with the mic levels I now check the internal mic but tapping it to be sure it's on the right mic. Your SD cards don't look like super fast versions, could be your problem
I see that you are using the “luphole” style mount.
I realized that in the past 3 months of riding, I had been sucking in cold air just because the strap tightened in the chin cover that the helmet has.
Just feels guttered that I just moved to a warmer climate, that I did not have a chance to test out the colder weather with the chin cover on my helmet.
Or even at high speed the air pushing up on the chin is unreal (+190kmh).
Had you been experiencing the same thing?
So In this case would you recommend the insta360 1x2 for motovlogging instead of the GoPro 10?
After reading some of the comment, i have a question
So the problem will occur when you useing "Quick Capture" function and "Media Mod" at the same time will somtime lead to freeze right?
What if get rid of Media Mod, will this issue occur whan useing Quick Capture?
Im consider buying one now, this question is really important for me, any reply will help
Hey mate, please tell me which goggles those are, they look great with your helmet
Rob have you thought of formatting the SD card with the GoPro ? Thats what I always do and I don't mix and match SD cards and equipment. In theory it should help avoid errors
Okay, so I watched your video AFTER I bought a GoPro Hero 10. I found that I can't connect it to my Triumph Tiger 800 TFT screen, so I'm looking for a remote that works with motorcycle gloves on. I wear the GoPro on top of my helmet and I can't hear the "beeps". I use a lavalier mic plugged into my GoPro Hero 10 and tried voice commands with the motorcycle on (idle or on the road), and GoPro doesn't work. My old Hero 6 worked just fine, but on my last 3 week motorcycle trip, the adapter I needed for the lavalier mic died. Any suggestions for a remote, and any idea why the voice commands don't work (the GoPro records my audio through the lavalier mic just fine)? Thank you!
I have a Hero 10 showing up tomorrow... and a 9 showing up in a couple days... I ditched all my GoPro’s for the Osmo action last year but I continue miss that amazing wide angle shot and clean sounding audio so I figured I’d give GoPro another shot sense before the finicky mic adapter drove me crazy and now the media mod has seemed to fix that issue but I’m still nervous. Just hearing the GoPro beeps gives me anxiety😅
Interestingly, I found the same issues; other than stabilisation, happened on my 7, rather than my 10. My suggestion would be to switch out your SD to one with a higher clock speed.
I feel your pain and am also experiencing the same issues. Whilst I’m a motovlogger i’m also a professional TV Cameraman and have introduced the GoPro on to a few productions. We recently lost days worth of footage from two hero 10’s which were placed inside an aeroplane cockpit and a tractor cab over the space of a week. The production company have vowed never again to let a GoPro on set. It’s only a matter of time before GoPro get sued for their sub standard products.
Woooooow that’s huge! Yea I’ve used a Hero 7’s on some commercial shoots.. the Hero 10 stays at home
Same issues!!🧑⚕️ Back to 7 🤷♂️
that's mad!!! Losing motovlogging footage is stressful... but losing that sort of content and hours on productions is fucking MONEY lost xD
Thanks for this video! I'm looking at getting into Motovlogging and will pass on the Hero 10 now. Would you suggest the Hero 8 as the Hero 7 isn't as available anymore?
Following as I'm also interested if you would recommend the Hero 8 over the Hero 7 because you've just convinced me not to get the 10! Thanks for the heads up btw I'd take your experiences with this stuff any day of the week.
As far as I know with gopro 8 black there may be some problems when using ND filters and hypersmooth 2.0 stabilisation..
I don't use nd filters and gopro 8 it's brilliant 👌 for me
I have a hero8 as far as I know from recording it is ok I’m not sure about ND filters I can give you a feedback next week still waiting for my order 😛 but video wise it’s very nice for motovloging ! Wishing you a good start bro 😎
i would get an 8 if i were you. my friend has a hero 7 silver and i just bought an 8. the 8 has so many features and settings vs the 7 and its only like 50 bucks more maybe 100 depending on where you go or if you get it used. his 7 has froze but that was the things with the silver so i got an 8 and sooo much better he wants to borrow it now lol
I'm exclusively recommending goprohero7 black. Don't believe me? Come race 🏁
Thanks for sharing this video Moto Feetz. I still have my little Session 5 hero cube camera which works fine and is so versatile and light - i mainly use it for snorkel diving shoots because of it's smaller cube shape, it can put it in my suit pocket easily while floating. This year was going to be my first moto vlogging year (and i did watch your vlog about the hero 10) - i used my Psychic powers to divine that it would be best to get a Go Pro 8 - and save about.....$100? because i later realised you have to also by a media mod and extra batteries, mic - and before you know it, the original camera budget grows extra arms and legs.
I have the GoPro 10 with GoPro mic adapter and have tried several mics and still have horrible audio quality. I’m not sure 🤔 if it’s my camera or the mic adapter or just crappy mics in the wrong position inside my helmet.
try a good mic like the dji setup you wont be sorry
Haven't had any of the issues mentioned so far.
The only one I have also had is the battery charging inconvenience, but my tankbag really facilitates sticking the whole charger in place so I've kinda solved this issue.
Truth is that if you don't want any fancy feature (5.3k, or >120 fps footage), then sticking to more simple action cams is the way to go, but for me the processing, colors and overall quality of the Hero10 is unparalleled, can't really ditch it.
Yea I hear ya. When it works it’s great! I love the functionality and features it offers. You must have the golden egg
@SmokeyJungleFrog no, and it overheats and turns itself on randomly.
Got a new hero 10 recently. Every time I press the recording button, the recording starts and the screen goes blank and stops recording in 2 minutes. Then I have to start recording it all over again, and after that the damn thing works just fine till the battery runs out like a ''forgot to turn off the water tank '' 😂😂. I'm new to Moto vlogging and lost the footages on my very first attempt last week. Now I know how to handle this thing. Just give it some 2 minutes initially to get warmed up by just click on the record button and wait 😂. After that 2 minutes dude Hero 10 is all set to go. By the way how many batteries have you guys got ? I have 3 now and thinking about buying 3 more before even posting a GoPro vlogging video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the time gopro makes a new perfect camera for motovlogs and we all switch to it, we will shed a tear for the gopro 7 for staying loyal thru all these years.
May i know what mount did you use for ur helmet
In germany you'd say it's a monday model because of its bugs. I got the Gopro10 with me in june on a five-day-motorcycle-holiday at Lago di Como (Italy). The Gopro was attached to the handlebar and connected to an USB socket. There was only one issue on our way back home when it suddenly asked me to connect it to a power source. Ok, that was really annoying but I took over 25 hours of footage including Vlogging parts (battery) on sightseeing tours in different cities without any problems. Also no issues with stabilizing. I'm not a Gopro fanboy but really satisfied with this cam. I used no mods or cases.
The issue that I have had multiple times is when I go to upload my footage via cable/media mod. And it will not read it. I end up having to take the micro SD card out and insert it in the card reader on the PC.
Yea mine claps out too sometime. And it doesn’t delete the files automatically sometimes. It’s confusing as hell
Hey mate same issues with my gp10 did a trip to the Cape check my Old Man Speed Adventures anyways the stalling issue only seemed to happen with the media mod case?????? I also lost 47 files due to SD CARD ISSUE so frustrating
My Hero 8 with Media Mod still sucks. You never know if its recording external audio or not. sometimes youre lucky and most time you not xD
Not sure if this is helpful or not but, someone mentioned the audio records consistently if you use the regular record instead of auto/quick record.
Misma cosa con mi hero 8,solucion,adios mediamod y bienvenido adapter mic,cero problemas ahora.Aprovecho de especificar que el problema es solo en quickcapture,saludos.
I use the 7 Black using the Scandisk SD card and have had a few similar problems, freezing the video but continues to record audio. Solutions that work for me: 1. I changed brands of SD card and have not had the problem of frozen video since. 2. Media mod sucks, I use the Ulanzi cage with the intergrated audio adapter "holder", easy to change batteries, SD cards and remove the camera if I want to. So far so good!
I’ve been using the hero9 for the past year, no problem so far, except since 2 months my hero9 started freezing while recording like 1 time out of 20, and when it does that, all I can recover is the footage before the freeze.
It seems that it’s not only a hero10 problem
And speaking of the hero10 I’ve heard it does not handle the heat, and the battery dies real quick when it’s cold.
Hi…what’s the name of of the beach area you are riding through in this vlog?
Do you know if they are having similar issues with the Hero 9
Did they fix the freezing? I want to get the 10 for my ebiking footage. Your usage is similar to what I'd use it for. Do you know if it's been fixed, or would you say hard pass, and go for something older, or newer like the 11, or the osmos action 3? Thanks.
I've never had freezing issues on any recording and I belythis guys device was defective and not a common issue. The hero 10 is flawless for me and I use it mountain biking and dirt bike riding,never failed me once
I use to get sd card errors on my thinkware car dashcam. anywho, is the gpro hero 10 good for night recording ?
exactly the same issues I had and still have with gopro 9. which in fact is my first gopro, completely disappointed. crashes, freezes, I'm using the extreme pro sd card, which is even higher than their minimum recommended. No matter how much I would try to record in 4k 25fps (PAL), I would always have thse problems. Recently I switched to 2.7k 50fps (as the 25fps is only available with the max lens mod), and a lot of problems have disappeared, so the camera is more stable. But its frustrating as you say, that the hero 7 released years ago its more stable, and more capable recording 4k footage, than these newer cameras which are supposed to be better.
Have you tried recording in 2.7k? Curious if the pattern is the same. Or perhaps lowering the bitrate from high to standard, maybe that will put less pressure on the camera.
I always turn quick capture off since older gopro's, Problem is sometimes it doesn't have external audio.
A couple of months ago I purchased the 11 and while I don't have the same issues as you have with the 10, I've had serious issues to the point where I've been tempted to drop it off my helmet mount at 100km/h and test out the no questions asked replacement fee for subscribers! Rear screen drops out and only battery removal fixes it (more annoying when removing the media mod). Cannot for the life of me connect to preview on the phone so I can see what I'm filming - it connects about 1/10 times. Cannot upload media so I have to pull straight off the SD card. Many great rides with the intention of filming some amazing scenery from the saddle have not eventuated and therefore I miss out on the main thing a GoPro gives you - the ability to capture the moment when you're in it! Not sure if GoPro is for me...
Wow. I almost wonder if it is a camera specific thing or a combination of factors causing it.
I use the Hero 10 for videos across a few channels and haven't had it fail me yet. The Hero 9 on the other hand has had problems since the first month of use. In fact it locked up on me yesterday during a recording.
Weird stuff
How long do you record? I cant record a 4k 60fps video longer than 15 mins before it overheats.
@@abundantharmony Wow. If I am riding I can record for as long as the batteries last.
If I am doing stationary videos I don't usually record in very long continuous segments, but have done a few 20 minute sessions without problems.
Do you have the camera mounted on a tripod or mount, or are you recording stationary with the camera sitting flat on a surface?
I have had nothing but issues with my 7 since I bought it. So frustrated we spent so much money on something to have the exact issues you showcased in this video. I definitely would never buy another GoPro again, but would love for this one to work for me
I've never had any issues with mine, as long as I don't fill the SD card completely. Then I get an endless beep, so removing battery is needed to stop it. If I want to record I need to swap SD cards.
Keep in mind you need a fast sd card. too slow write speed and it won't work. No issues with the firmware. But the original black battery and the batteries with blue strip on it run out of juice in seconds or a minute in sub zero temps. and I read Enduro batteries that fix this issue don't work with 7. Session 4 works in sub zero temps for a while. But that's not a 4k camera, it's 1080p. And will overheat in 30C.
I was looking to get the hero ten, so thanks for this, What about the Hero 8? and the Max?
the sd card error comes if i move files from gopro to pc and forget to format the gopro, i am using the hero 9, seems like 9 and 10 both have same issues
I have the GoPro Hero8 (x2) and generally have had no issues other than a couple of times it has not wanted to start and have had to take the battery out and back in.
My biggest gripe is the remote.
When I brought the second camera I also brought the remote which should then allow you to switch them both on or off in unison, but that stopped responding and it could not be a range issue because it was right near the bar mounted camera and half a metre from the one mounted on a helmet mount.
😖

Back on Two Wheels
0:58 Does the old charger work with the Enduro batteries? I already have the old charger, and love it.
thanks alot for opening this issue ...
How do you edit your videos? How to get edit like you?
I face weird issue with my GoPro 9. its goes on max lens mod without max lens and here its doesn't stop then when I hit the record button sd card error 😵💫
I had similar issues with my 9. Updated it via app, then had to manually do it with PC. Formatted card in computer, in camera as well. Still had issues with freezing, corrupted files, etc. I ended up turning off all functions I don't really use. Hindsight, GPS, quick capture. Haven't had a single issue since turning off all those functions. My thinking is that there's just too many functions in such a small/cheap camera. It can't handle the work load of video recording and multiple other functions simultaneously.
Yea i agree with ya. Just keep it simple and reliable - that's all we need
I just bought the 10 Hero few weeks ago and right on the first usage I experienced problems. Files were corrupted, changed SD card (from the one supplied with the kit), Gopro glitches, turn off by itself or reboot, freeze beyond recovery (had to pull the battery off and on), pink videos and so on... all within the first week of usage. Then seeing this video and reading the comments section hinted me that there was some who don't have issues, plus a friend of mine on Discord told he got it at the same place (Costco) and didn't encounter any issues. So I brought it back to Costco and replaced it. A week later? not a single glitch at all. So bottom line, I think Gopro has a serious QA problem in their division. It doesn't inspires me to know that my working Gopro could potentially degrade after some short or long term usage with the heating issues, but so far so good.
Same w/ my GoPro hero 10 I just bought it just 2days ago it hang right away, my question is that can I ask the store to replace it?
What gloves are you sporting at 1:56
They mess with your camera, with updates, so you can buy the latest iteration?
I go through this with my GoPro 8 so I would say maybe its just a bad go pro and the specific thing youre talking about is why i stopped using the quick capture feature.
I've had the same issues with my 10 as well, and yes, I hate the charger! But my 7 just recently stopped doing the quick record. I have to turn it on and start. So I'm torn between the two. I hate that you get the "upgraded" camera and have twice the issues.
I'm new to the GoPro 10 and am finding it really buggy, it is annoying!! Is this likely to be a firmware issue and how often do they update ? I've had the charging lights staying on when fully charged, unresponsive buttons etc and only way to fix it is pull out by the battery and reinsert. Grrr
Got my Hero 10 in early Feb 2022. Have the latest firmware and I too have experienced the same issues as you regarding unit freezing, very disappointing. Luckily for me, never experienced the SD card error.
Oddly enough I've been having the same issue with the Hero *7* Black, though not as bad. Another motovlogger has pinpointed the issue being bloated batteries though, so for Hero 7 owners reading this, you're probably best using original batteries that haven't bloated.
Exactly. I actually have had a terrible experience with the 7. SD read issues, lost files, frozen screens. Sounds like mine (and his) story is far too anecdotal to affect anyones buying decision…
@@SortofJacob There was some settings on the 7 that caused issues as far as I know, low light and auto-right (rotation of footage), as well as bad cards. Changing that solved it for a number of people, but I'm not sure it was ever officially recognised as a fix. The 8 batteries I've got have bloated where the 7s all seem fine (but have got a lot less use). I had issues with the 7, less with the 8 and nothing too extreme yet on the 10, but haven't used it much...
Which GoPro would you recommend?
I have the same problem, and I have also a mediamod. I got also a frozen GoPro 10 when it is of, and it is charching via the Mediamod.
When the Gopro is frozen you can press the on/off button for 20 sec. You have the same outcome as removing the battery. It is a lot quicker.
1:44 i did and it sucked big time. Parking your bike at the side of the road to run all the way back searching the asphalt, while at the same time hoping that nobody has run over it yet.
How did it happen? Checked if my helmet's DD ring was secured, put my arm back down to my handlebars and ripped the filter right of the magnets with my arm (gopro was on the chest mount)
Thanks for this info bro, planning to buy hero 10 but after watching this, I'll go for hero 8 instead Ride safe always 👍 🇵🇭
The Hero 8 has the same problems...
@@CapitaineMotard The error in the 8 also occurs with the quick capture since it does not connect the auxiliar microphone but leaves the external ones working, if you go by motorcycle this is a disaster.Solution: must buy the mic adapter and forget the mediamod.
@@badyride909 Thanks a lot for your comment ✌If i remove quick capture does it work with media mode ?
@@CapitaineMotard yes,the problem is only with quickcapture,in normal mod no problem when press on side button y on upper button so no problem,start recording normally whit external mic.Sorry my english
@@badyride909 Thank you so much ! You save me ! 😉
Thanks dude, this is extremely helpful info
The SD card error actually is a problem the sd card is faulty for. If your settings are too high, the sd card can not write the data as quick as it must in this situation. Hence, if you have high settings you need an sd card with higher writing speed.
-> instead of the sandisk extreme you need the sandisk extreme pro. I do not have this problem because I never go beyond 2,7k resolution.
I have the 10 as my motovlogging cam and I do strongly agree - the quality sucks. When it works, it's great but the software updates they issue kill your camera half the time in some bizarre way. It also freezes randomly on me when I scroll through the screen while adjusting the settings. I was super excited for it by the way and have had the Session since 2015 and that one is solid.
I want to love GoPro, really do. But never again will I buy another one unless I see overwhelming positive feedback from others.
I bought a gopro 10 today and planing to film driving my mc. Do i need that housing you have with the mic thing? Or does it work good out the box?
The Media Mod is sold separately
@@MotoFeelz Yes do i need this for moto vlogg or is the stock gopro good enough or will it be to much wind noice?
I have the hero 8 and only one time has the Ed card error issue. Managed to fix it by pulling the Ed card out, putting it into my h1n zoom and recording a short audio file. Then putting it back in the GoPro. Not sure why it worked - maybe it cleared some hidden cache file in the card or something (that sounded like I know what I’m talking about - but I don’t. I was just desperate and it worked). I’ll be sticking with the 8 for a while).
These same issues have come and gone from every GoPro since the very first one.
I remember having the same problems on my HERO 2....
Thanks for this vid bro, truly appreciate it as it saves me from going thru the experience myself. I'll be going for the Hero 7 thanks to this.
I had the same issues with the GoPro 7. I had one of the craziest follow cams down a massive slab in perfect light(Mountain biking), pushed the stop record and as you said "radio silence" . Repaired the file and the thing only recorded for 10 seconds. I had the same issue with the 4 also. I bought a 10 a few months ago and haven't had the chance to use it much. I don't know why this has been a problem for almost 10 years with GoPros now.
RIght!? Just fix the damn issue and the camera(s) would be perfect! Until then
Telesin makes press on ND filters for the Hero 9/10 Black. They are easy to remove while riding. Love the channel.
Mortified to see this video as I have the media mod showing up for my Hero 10 in several hours and hope to start motovlogging...
Great job, keep 'em coming!
Mine overheats all the time . I use mine in the ocean with a protective cover and it still overheats when I use burst mode too long ? I know the upgrade processor works harder but it shouldn't overheat .
Daily motovlogger here, no issues with the 10 I got this past Christmas. My only issue is charging and batteries.
Yeah we've found it crappy too (RidingOnEggshells). It crashes, the sound isn't great, even with the media mod, which sucks a lot of battery. And while the media mod was on, for some reason all my footage was blurry. Just did a 2 week high country ride and found all the footage was bad. I'm furious.
I have had similar issues with the GP8. My tips:
* Record without a battery. Use a USB battery bank in your jacket pocket. Prevents shutdown due to overheating.
* Format the SD card in the camera each time you transfer footage to your PC. This helps avoid SD card errors.
* Learn what a VPN actually does and doesn't do to protect you. Websites can still know who you are via cookies and fingerprinting.
All that for a $500 product? ...Or you just don't spend so much money on ...well ..junk. And by the way, for helmet installation this brick cameras have been shit for ever, just because they are a fucking brick! ... What people would need is a DETACHABLE camera module ..so you can put the brick in a pocket and mount the very slim camera lens module somerwhere on the helmet ..where nobody would even notice it! ... GoPro just has never worked for motorcycle helmets.
Same damn thing for me!! This is my only Hero, so I am freaking stuck with dealing with this mess.
What Gopro Pro do very well is increase the size, weight and price of the cameras. I'm still using my Hero 5 Black and I still had to downgrade the firmware to be able to use quick capture and record the sound from the external mic because of that bizarre and expensive mic adapter. Do you have this problem with the 7? I recently started using a Go2, there has to be life outside of the GoPro.
I have the same mic issue with my 5, how did you downgrade the firmware? Factory reset? Cheers.
@@BikerBytes Hi mate, I have a video about it (with english subtitles) the link to the firmware is in the description: czcams.com/video/YlsYs9Y_H0I/video.html
I bought my GoPro 10, for a trip to the USA, and it always fails me, in the cold it definitely fails a lot, it was terrible to know that I couldn't record much, fortunately I brought a GP9, a DJI Osmo Action and an Insta360 OneR, and the last two They were the best.
That freezing with the light blinking i've had happen to me on the osmo action cam. And yeah, i use 3 hero 7s stress free, lol.
So what's the problem? freezing ?
How can I not give this awesome video a thumbs up? Great job! Thank You.
Glad you liked it!
I've used GoPro's for years and found out what causes and what fixes SD card errors. 1:
Stop using Sandisk cards. The amount of users having issues using these cards it mind blowing. Use Samsung Evo cards instead. 2: Realize that lockups and freezes are usually caused by SD card corruption. Formatting in the GoPro does NOT fix SD card corruption as the GoPro can only perform a "quick" format. Here's a video explaining SD card errors and how to fix it: czcams.com/video/633S-6lagDI/video.html
I've used SanDisk Extreme Pro SD's for years with no issues, but it was on DSLRs with full size SD cards, not micros. That's interesting to know the micro cards can be sketchy with GoPro, good to know!
@@joeninja1364 Yeah, it's interesting, if you read the support forums, the amount of people having issues with the GoPro Sandisk combination is just amazing. Nearly every single one of them have the same thing in common, Sandisk cards. After I showed people how to properly format their cars, I'd say about 85% of them didn't have any further issues. Those that did, I told them to switch to Samsung Evo cards and their issues went away completely. So not sure if it's a card speed issue, reliability issue or what. I only use Samsung cards in any of my GoPro's, have once had a data loss issue or a camera lockup.
@@DemonViewLLC Dang. Well, I'm gonna keep using SanDisk for my DSLR but low-key I think I'm gonna swap over to Samsung for my Hero 9 I'm picking up. Thanks for that!
What helmet is that?
I don't know what to say. It's looks like everyone I know have different problems with their GoPro, no matter which version you have. My friend and I bought the GoPro Hero 7 at the same time because of the Hypersmooth feature first introduce back then. I still use the GoPro 7 till now. But every time I use it, it has to freeze at least 1 time on me. I have to remove the battery and put it back to reset it. Because of that, I had missed a few great videos in the past. My friend have the same issue with his GoPro Hero 4, 7 et now 10. I had the SD card error once with the 7 too. I lost all the footage that day. I only use genuine GoPro battery and the best SD card possible.
I love GoPro for what it is but they are so unreliable for sure. Never had any problem like that with my other gear from Canon & Sony. It's good to hear that your Hero 7 seems to work all the time. It's not the case with mine. I really want to upgrade to the new 10 with all the new feature but I don't know how it will turn out for me lol. Nice video by the way!
I've had Gopro 1, Gopro 2, Gopro 3, Gopro 6 and now Gopro MAX, and every single god damn time I trust they've gotten better. Early models suffered really bad quality, even though it was amazing they managed pack "so much" in to a little compact camera back then, and not to speak of really bad battery performance, specially on colder days / winter. I had 6 batteries for my Gopro 3, and even then it was nothing but big pile of frustration, because the batteries could not hold the charge. You could spend hours charging batteries the day before to prep for whatever was going to happen the day after, only to find out your batteries were at 50% or below.
The Gopro MAX is probably the best Gopro camera I've owned this far, the batteries have been a whole lot better than what I've experienced before, the camera produces some cool perspectives in it's main 360 form, but also doubles up as a Hero camera with amazing stability capabilities. But still I've suffered a lot of bad connectivity to the app, and everything just freezing a bit too frequent, and I've tried several android phones, as well as my iPad, and it never really mattered too much what I connected the camera too, it would do the same silly shit.
I'll understand things can freeze and lock up, every tech gadget can do that, but a camera that at this pricerange should be better than what it is.
They fix several issues, and introduce more issues elsewhere, and it get's so frustrating to the point that you simply don't go out and record anything.
HOPEFULLY, they'll get their shit straight, and give us a camera that works flawless, but for now I'm not holding my breath. *insert "it is what it is" meme here*
Came across this video as I was researching my ongoing issue of SD card errors when using 256GB cards. Doesn't seem to happen with smaller. These SD cards are so random for me. Frustrating. Spoke with GoPro and of course got the "never heard of it" before.
Have had few problems with my go pro 9 too i got the go pro max now and zero problems however i was thinking to buy the 10 cause it looks more cinematic but now i m not sure they seems quite unreliable
I had to choose my next camera, the Gopro hero 10 or go with insta 360 one X2 .. I went with Insta and so far I am very happy! .. It is very surprising that gopro dont have it locked down how their product should be.. it should be FLAWLESS at lvl 10 ! ..
I had this happen with my hero5 back in the day. GP did fix it through firmware but I agree totally unacceptable from such a major manufacturer
The day DJI release a firmware update for the original Osmo Action to include a superview, it will solve all these issues. Such a great unit for motovlogging 🤙
I’m so keen to check one of these units out
@@MotoFeelz DJI OSMO ACTION Mk1 ..... works like a charm. Cheap now due to Mk2, (which is useless.)
@@blackline66 rock steady @ dcine are awesome
This is why I only use my Hero 10 as second camera and my good old Osmo Action as main camera since I can always trust it
I have an Rjays helmet and I want to buy a gopro and mount it to the chin but I can't seem to find a suitable mount
The freezing sucks but I think you're losing your files when you pull the battery out, I've learnt over the years to never ever do that. The best option is to force reboot by pressing the menu/function button for 8 seconds. The camera will power down and then reboot and usually then repair the file. Another lesson for me is always shooting in shorter shots, I never shoot for longer than a minute or so. Unless it's a section of road where I go for a couple of minutes, but nothing long. It's too risky. I know what you're thinking, it shouldn't be a risk but these cameras are running on the edge of what's technically possible. I also only shoot in 25fps which ensures the camera isn't running to full capability, keeps it cooler and again reduces risk.
I run two Hero7's while I have the Hero9 on the helmet, and to be honest, I've had issues with all of them but probably the 9 the least of all of them.
The real issue is however, no one else is making a camera with the same capabilities and within the same market and until someone does, GoPro will remain the norm. Hopefully one day someone will. If only the Blackmagic action camera wasn't so expensive 🙂
Imagine a Black Magic action cam! I’m excited for no real reason haha. I’ll give your suggestion a crack next time it screws up
