    Thank you so much for the tip on changing the custom settings with the buttons!!!! Why anyone else did not talked about this...? That was literally the thing that has kept me from getting the hero 8 and i have been looking for the dji which has the mode button cause i really cant open my dive case for what im using the camera for! But then again gopro has the superior video quality in my opinnion. U just helped me to make my desicion very easy! And i really did not want to go that Dji route 😂 thank you sir!

    Great videos. Truly. One suggestion: For videos like this one, crop/zoom closer to the GoPro. Make it easier to see its menus. As is, the GoPro takes up about 1/9th the CZcams screen. Your hands, however, take up nearly 50% of the screen. Something to think about.

    Very useful. One of the problems I have is the size & pressing the control apps.
    I did not know hitting the shutter button & the mode button changed the settings. This explains why some of my
    videos were unusable. I must have had my finger on the shutter when changing from picture to video.
    Stay safe, Joe Z

      Every specific shooting mode could be customized to buttons or on the screen. To reenable it you can go to a shooting Road such as “cinematic” And reset it back to default or exit the properties of that shooting mode and scroll to the bottom and there you can set what buttons appear on the screen

    Been shooting with ours for some weeks now. This is a surprisingly good camera. Have some footage coming up of flying in an AutoGyro. There is a scene where the stick is shaking pretty obviously yet the footage, thanks to the stabilization, is smooth as silk. Very impressed. That third party door looks pretty handy too.

      You can buy an after market battery from china or something but because it’s so much juice it can explode in your GoPro. So GoPro has to keep a certain limit for now.

  • @dugsbugs1
    @dugsbugs1 Před rokem

    I know this video is old but you cannot use a powerbank with the battery installed if you want to record.
    You need to remove the battery if you want to use a powerbank.
    You will see if you leave the battery in, when you start recording, the charge icon goes out and it reverts back to the battery.
    This is to stop the battery from overheating and is a real pain. I think the later ones have fixed this issue.
    You can have both for timelapse but you need to have a 2nd constant power draw on the powerbank like a usb light so it doesn't shut down when the gopro battery has recharged.
    I have 3 gopro 8 and they are probably the most problematic gopro's I own.

    Thanks for your video. Great content! I have a question about my GoPro HERO8 Black but need some introduction first.
    I have a long road trip from Florida to Oregon. I bought a GoPro HERO8 Black to record the whole route in "real-time" (no timelapse). I want to upload the videos on YouYube in 4 parts. Each part is 8 to 9 hours driving (I will stop the camera to rest and shake my legs every 3 to 4 hours). I will mount the camera inside my car on the official GoPro Mount. I want to do minimum effort after recording (no color grading, no lut, no music ....) as these files would be huge and rendering takes forever! For storage, I have two SanDisk Extreme Pro Micro SDXC UHS-I U3 A2 V30 Memory Card (256GB). For battery, I have two of them, a charger, and a 20500 mA power bank. Also, I have the easy option of connecting the GoPro directly to the cigarette lighter charger. With this introduction now my question is:
    What setting do you recommend on my GoPro for video recording of this long trip?
    P.s.: Please let me know if you have any advice.
    Best,
    Ehsan

    I have one with the headstrap, can’t wait to shoot some amazing 4K footage with it! But I haven’t used it in public yet, I’m too scared that people are gonna look at me funny and think “this guy looks like a right weirdo” any nice supporting comments to help me and to feel confident while wearing one in public and some tips will help thanks!

      I know what you mean. What about a chest strap or go pro on top of a baseball hat. It won't be as noticeable then?

      Bill Jones Nation I figured out if I wear a jumper (sweater if your American) with a hood on it, I can wear the head strap and put my hood over my head so from the back it just looks like I’m wearing a hood.
