Thanks for your video. We fish for steelhead and salmon under a bobber here in the rivers in north west Oregon on the coast. Looping mode is going to be a big plus as we can now capture the bobber going down then hooking and landing the fish without wasting a ton of sd card memory. Plan on using this feature for our TH-cam channel Fontana Outdoors.
This is by far the best explanation I've seen, the 1 min chucks were are a game changer for my understanding, also learning that it's actually 5+ min of footage. Just awesome, thanks for the info man!
@@AnglingAnarchy I have the hero 8 black, and the loop isn't listed. You have to set it up and assign a name to it, then it's there. Took a bit to figure it out, But now i'm dialed in! Thanks again for the video! Have a great day!!
Thank you for sharing. This illustration was very informative and easy to understand not like other videos. Thanks for taking the time. It really helped me a lot.
Damn man you nailed this explanation for me, thank you so much. I've been using it wrong on my channel and making more work on the back end as well as missing stuff during filming. Will be checking out your other videos and subscribing. Well done.
Thank you! I have the GoPro Hero10 and was sold on trying to make the Hindsight Feature work for my fishing videos. I lost a lot of first strike moments on my videos. Looping from now on! Thanks for helping me to understand how to use looping! Fish On!
@fishingwithpastormurray I'm so glad the video was helpful for you! And I definitely think the looping function is way more suited to fishing than the Hindsight function would be.
Thanks for this! I use to use looping on my old hero 3 but it's been years since I filmed. Now that I've started me and son's YT channel using a more modern camera, I forgot how useful it is for fishing!
Thank you. Very good explanation. This will save a lot of space on SD. And it will make video montage much easier and faster. I watched with a subtitle translator
I totally misunderstood the concept. I did a trial run walking my dog after seeing this with it set up to loop at 20 minutes. When I got back I had 2) 5 minutes clips plus a partial? Still don't undertsand why that's happening. My goal is to record 9) 20 minute segments of a 3 hr MC ride. I'm now guessing I don't want to loop the video. Great feature to know about and I appreciate your explanation!
This is an excellent explanation of something that can be difficult to grasp. I’m going to be making the move this direction with all cameras the coming year. The only time I have had trouble with it was filming a hunt and not accounting for how long it took me at times to retrieve birds.
My preference would be to have a 1 or 2 minute option. On a motorcycle trip, the events that you want to review later (scenic view, big truck going by, wobble on the gravel road, …) happen quite quickly so having a 5 minute window can be a bit much. Especially when you have to review later. The shorter option would help you find the event you wanted. I tend to try an mentally count the next five minutes to hit the button so the event is always at the beginning and of course I have more data on the card then I actually want. However, I do run a big card but I might be using the card over one week so I could run out of space, but I should calculate that.
Good explanation for those that do not understand looping. I do run my hero 8 on a 20min loop. Just makes it easy for me when I edit. Only one of my cameras is a Gopro. The other 3 are Victure cameras. Cheap but work well and the looping saves different. If it's set on 5min it saves in 5min and not one min intervals.

A power use video would be cool. I do not use the camera batteries at all other than my chesty.
Jon Gunner Outdoors Anymore I use Anker 13000mAh battery packs or Milwaukee lithium batteries to power my cams. Here is a link to a video I made awhile back on powering options. th-cam.com/video/EK3WoT1Gqvs/w-d-xo.html
This is the most detailed video about looping ever made. When I start a 5-minute loop and stop it and then start it again, does it keep the previous 5 distinct 1 minute videos and start a new 5-minute loop?
What a well presented explanation of the use of the looping feature! Thank you very much! I'm considering buying a GoPro to film my fishing and will remember this. Seems like the way to go. Another option is using "hindsight" to capture 15 or 30 seconds prior to hitting recording. Have you considered using that? Pros and cons of that feature? Thanks a lot!
@marathonkev I'm glad the video was helpful! I don't think I would ever consider the hindsight feature, at least for musky fishing, because you would miss way too much. By the time the fish strikes, you fight it, net it, and compose yourself, there just wouldn't be enough time.
@@AnglingAnarchy I've thought of that as well...when you get that first strike for any fish....would be hard to reach up to start the camera.....I'd want to be in the moment with making sure to enjoy the action of fighting the fish.
Awesome just stumbled on this video I happen to have a hero7 black and I was thinking I need to get a new one to get that hindsight feature that is in the hero9 upwards but this method of filming can achieve the same thing.I am using it for fishing videos looking for an easier way than sifting through hours of footage
Excellent video. On my go pro 8 set at 5 min loop, after I stop recording I only see 1 or 2 files of 1 mins each and not 5 files of 1 min like you show here. Not sure what is happening.
Great video Brian! I have been looking at gopros to get my first one soon. This is the most informative video I have seen on recording. Each time you stop it saves, then do you just hit reord again right away so it starts again? Also if you have on 20 min loop is it the same concept/process? Keep up the great work.
WNYbowhunter Thank you! Yup, as soon as you stop it, start it right back up again. Same concept with the 20 min loop, it just saves in 5 min chunks instead of 1 min.
I'm so confused, I just got a 9 for bass fishing. Used it for the first time today on a chesty and used 5 min looping. I'm only getting one minute chunks and none of them sync up to make the complete 5 mins, I just started my camera in looping at the beginning of this video and once it got to about 7 minutes recording in looping mode on my hero 9 I clicked stop recording, but only have a one minute video in my GoPro's gallery. Any insight??
@swimjigjake3567 that's odd that you would have all those 1 min pieces of vid but they don't sync up. Unless they're in a folder with other pieces of video and the clip numbers assigned by the GoPro have it so they're not in numerical order, if that makes sense. I feel like I'd have to actually sit down with the cam and have a look at what it's recording on the card
can u please help me . ive tried many times settings in looping . whieven one i used it only leaves the beginning time. not the last 5mins of the recording plss help me.. gopro8black
Do you use the GoPro remote that will start and stop several cameras with on button press? Saves a lot of running around in the boat. If the remote works properly.
Christopher Eric I don't for the following reason. It's very rare that on any given catch I need to stop all of the cameras in the boat. Most of the time it's only 3 of the 5 that are running and if I stopped all of them, I would just be wasting SD card space on the cameras that didn't capture anything useful
Thank you so much for your time and explanation on this. There is still a part which confuses me a tad. I think I know the answer, but it would be good to hear your input. I wish your example had continued for at least 10-12 more minutes. My camera is on 5 Min looping. I came home from a day of fishing. I tried to be diligent about stopping the video after every catch. When I got home, I found 108 files. I lost an absolute ton of footage and have no idea where it went, since I tried to always stop the filming after the catch. Once you stop videoing, you are saying it saves 5 clips and then a bit of the clip it was recording when you pressed Stop. Now, let's say you instantly start recording again and 60 minutes go by before you catch another fish. Once you land it, you stop recording. Then you go home. What would you expect to be on the card? Fish 1: The original 5 full 1 minute videos, the partial 6th video, then Fish 2: 5 full 1 minute videos and another partial video? Total of 10, 1 minute videos, and 2 videos of less than one minute? Another way to ask the same question, once you stop recording, does it permanently mark the previous 5 minutes and the one partial video as not overwriteable? I sure do appreciate the video and your help!
Paul's Outdoor Academy I'm glad thus was a bit of help to you. So when you came home from the trip where you ended up with 108 files, the math says that you started filming 18 separate occasions (6x18=108). It's odd that you were missing footage though. To answer your question if you catch a fish and stop the camera, you will have 5 full clips and a partial. Then film for 60 min and catch another fish and stop it, another 5 full clips and a partial for a total of 12 clips, Ten 1 min clips and 2 partials.
Paul's Outdoor Academy I've attached a video of a class I taught on filming and starting at the 14:30 mark, I start talking about looping. Maybe there's something in there that will help make more sense of it all 😊 th-cam.com/video/6lTqXwfonA8/w-d-xo.html
Love the video ! I am now picking up a 7 black. I am having such a hard time figuring out which of the older GoPro cameras loop. I bought a gopro4 silver from eBay and it would not loop. I think the gopro3 black loops. Do you know of any others?
Lure Junkie All of the Black series GoPros of a 3 or higher are capable of looping. The Hero 4 Silver is what I use as my chest camera, and it definitely has looping capabilites. Not sure why the one you have wouldn't do that.
So does GoPro offer any way to save greater than 1 minute files while looping? If you loop at 20 minutes, does it save 5 minute files, or 20 of the 1 minute files?
thank you for this I look foward to hearing you speak in Wausau. To be clear, once you hit stop on the camera and then restart it will save a new additional set of 5 clips on the sd card so you will have all of the clips at the end of the day correct?
David Hardt Yup, everytime you start and stope the camera it will save a set of 6 clips assuming that it's been recording for more than 5 minutes between starting and stopping.
I have a gopro 9 black, not sure what I did wrong but when I was using looping mode it left 100s of 1 minutes videos. I have the same settings as yours in this video. It didn't deleted any videos, it has whole bunch of 1 minute videos. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
@712Lifepersonal I've never come across that, unfortunately. If it was set to the 5 min loop, evertine you start and stop after more than 5 mins of filming, you should be left with 6 video files, 5 full 1 min clips and one that will be somewhere between 1 and 59 secs long. There will be other files as well that will end with .LRV and .THM, but I never save them.
@@AnglingAnarchy Now I don't feel so bad about not going. My main reason for going would have been to meet you and you weren't there either. HA! Safe travels to you
@@AnglingAnarchy Thanks. Wish i could afford one. the 2 no name i have are crap. half my day gets corrupted. There loop just breaks the day down into set mins of files, and the loop part means when the card is full it loops over the start of the day.
How many saved "5" minute clips can you save on a standard SD card? Good information as always! I was hoping to get to Wausau for the musky convention, but "they" are calling for a possible snow....which means I'll have to stay here just in case 😬....News update... just watched the weather forecast... maybe I will make it...
Ron Ring Thank you! I've personally never had a camera overheat on me, but I have heard of it. Most of the time it is when you are powering the camera externally while the battery is still in it. Which model camera are you having problems with?
I have a question for you. How do I get this filming stay on all day with plug usb c to solar power charging bank or usb c outlet to car or motorcycle or whatever the battery source is connected to. Do you have the video how to use it all day long? Like 8-10 hours?
@@AnglingAnarchy Thank you. I have a question. I do not want to misunderstood. I do not need to put battery inside of Gopro. just cord and powerbank. that's it? or do i have to use battery anyway to make the go pro function?
I just seen your video on the looping mode. I have GoPro 5. I can put it in looping mode but when I stop it goes back to regular video. Is this only in GoPro 5. Because I'm looking at a 7 to purchase.
@catfishingwithwayne4964 I think what you'll need to do is set looping video as your default in the settings. It should be easy to do through the GoPro app Quik
I’m sure someone has asked this but how far back does this feature go in terms of GoPros? I have wanted to do this for years but have never gotten into it because of money into GoPros. I figure if I am going to film I would want at least 2 or 3 cameras but I can’t currently afford the brand new ones. Do the hero 5’s have the looping feature? Thank you for the very informational video! Also side question, what editing software do you use? Thanks!!
Isaiah Bettinger Great Question! The looping feature first became available in the Hero 3 models and pretty much anything after that has it, with the exception of some of the white and silver versions, which they've pretty much done away with as far as I know. I really like the Hero 7 Black and they are usually pretty easy to find refurbished on Amazon in the $220-$240 range. The editing software I use is Cyberlink Powerdirector. For around $140 it's really powerful software and just a notch under what would be considered "professional" grade software. Hope that helps! Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
Oregon Fishing Adventures I typically don't have to change batteries at all through the course of the day as I'm externally powering my cameras. You'd probably go through 7 or 8 of the in-camera batteries in a day of filming.
@@AnglingAnarchy I can't externally power my GoPro because I live in Oregon and on any given day it can switch from sun to rain in a instance and some days I'm just spending the whole day fishing in the rain
@@AnglingAnarchy I do not use looping mode currently cuz I only have 4 batteries and don't think they would last a whole day of fishing so I just record whenever I feel like I need to
I get the concept, but What happens if I catch more than 1 fish? Are u saying when I hit the button it automatically saves the 5- 1 min files. So if I catch 2 fish I will have 10 files saved. Etc etc
@jasonvelasquez6673 you actually end up with 6 files each time you stop recording. 5 full 1 minutes files and the last one will be somewhere between 1 and 59 seconds. So, yes, essentially each time you stop the camera, you will have 6 clips, or 12 clips or 18, so on and so forth.
@marieldugenia7336 For what I do, looping is almost essential. I fish for hours on end and need to capture the moment a fish finally strikes. So what looping allows me to do is to continually film so that I can capture that moment, without filling up my cameras SD card. Whether that happens in the first few minutes, or 6 hours into the day, all the camera ever saves is what has happened the last 5 minutes because that's all the footage I'm concerned with. Hope that makes sense.
@charlestaylor8913 As far as I'm cocerned, hindsight wouldn't be useful in a fishing application because it only goes back 30 seconds, I think. To short of a timespan for what I'm doing, anyway.
Why not just use hindsight mode which when you hit the record button it goes back 15 or 30 seconds and the recording lasts until you stop recording? For example, a fish bites and you hit record. The saved file will go back 30 seconds and it saves the file, from the 30 seconds prior to hitting the record button until you stop.
@winchestermodel7044 The hindsight mode isnt available until the Hero 9 model, and I've got all Hero 7's for the most part. Even if I did have that function, I would definitely still loop. If it only goes back 30 seconds, there's a lot of action that would be missed by the time someone in the boat had time to hit record. The way muskies act boatside, the Hindsight function just wouldn't be a good fit. I'm sure it's great for other things, but musky fishing is definitely not one of them.
Why do all fishing TH-camrs always hit their GoPro as soon as the fish hits? They are definitely doing loop mode too. So you saying to wait until after you release the fish then hit the button. What button?
nice details on looping... though the clowns at GoPro in my opinion, could care less or are forgetting about a huge segment of customers... this is us fisherman because with the new and much more expense GoPro 10 they have created serious issues with being able to run the camera(s) at even 2.7k @ 30 or 60 fps for any length of time... I don't know how the heck you'd run any length of time with 4K or the newer 5k+ stuff... I'm also a muskie hunter in the fall periods (mostly lmb smb during season... though I'm not the guy going Mach II with my hair on fire up and down the lake).If you've hooked a four footer it take more than few minutes to land them... so we need longer runs times. I like you also like to run the cameras all day long on power packs or plugged into usb ports around the boat, or yolotek devices... the GoPro 10... which means this is their tenth crack at creating/improving a camera! They've taken 5 steps backwards... in my opinion they the 10s have serious overheating issues which again in my opinion started manifesting itself in the 7 series of cameras which I own two of those and struggle to shoot 2.7k @30 for any length of time... We're not sky divers who flight time might be a couple minutes and when they hit the ground they can rave that the GoPro is the greatest thing since sliced cheese... we're fishing... at least we're trying to and our run times are much much longer... sorry for the rant but it just burns me... their attitude at GoPro these days, turn this off, turn that off, lower this setting lower that setting... what's the point of the camera then? You're details on lopping are very good. thank you kindly... jk
John Kajfes I think you win for the longest comment I've ever received! 😁 But you make some very good points. I have pretty good luck with my Hero 7's, but I'm also not doing anything with a higher resolution than 1080. Also, GoPro missed the boat on a 10 min loop, I think that would be so much better than the 5 or 20 setting that they now have. Excellent insights and I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thank you sir!
I was posting my question everywhere and clearly nobody has an answer to my question, not even the self proclaimed 'GoPro experts'. They have no idea what I'm talking about. I was hoping you can give me the correct answer to my simple question? Now, let's just be honest about it ... we all know the GoPro media mod is a worthless add-on simply because those microphones are terrible. So, as a serious videographer, I need to use my own external microphone. My question is this: Can I use a USB-C splitter on the Hero 11 so I can simultaneously connect the Volta (for longer shooting times) and an external microphone like the Rode Wireless Go2 or the DJI Mic? Will it work? If yes, what USB-C splitter do you recommend? Thanks!
Izak Niemann Well unfortunately I won't be a ton of help either as I've never tried to do that, but looking at what is required, (a usb-c splitter and then perhaps a usb-c to 3.5mm dongle) you should be able to get what you need on Amazon for around the $30 mark. I wish I could be of more help. I would like to think that you could run 2 "channels" (one being power and the other being audio) into the same port and have it work, but never having tried it, all I can offer is pure conjecture. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
@@AnglingAnarchy Thanks for your reply - much appreciated. I have done a lot of research and I have 3 options: 1. 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. 2. I can just use the DJI Mic completely wireless and simply sync the video with the audio afterwards during editing. 3. The GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter has a 3.5mm mic input AND a USB-C input too. So, I can buy the Ulanzi G9-4 as well as the GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter that has a 3.5mm mic input AND a USB-C input and that will also do the job. Problem solved.

Outstanding explanation sir!
Matthew Warner Thanks very much!
Excellent video. On my go pro 8 set at 5 min loop, after I stop recording I only see 1 or 2 files of 1 mins each and not 5 files of 1 min like you show here. Not sure what is happening.
@mannydodge8534 Thank you! That's very odd that that's happening. I'm not quite sure what's going on there, unfortunately 😕
Great video Brian! I have been looking at gopros to get my first one soon. This is the most informative video I have seen on recording.
Each time you stop it saves, then do you just hit reord again right away so it starts again? Also if you have on 20 min loop is it the same concept/process?
Keep up the great work.
WNYbowhunter Thank you! Yup, as soon as you stop it, start it right back up again. Same concept with the 20 min loop, it just saves in 5 min chunks instead of 1 min.
thank you for your explanation 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 u help me a lot
I'm glad to hear that!
Great content. This vid will help many people. Thanks for this!
Essential Outdoors Thanks so much. I'm glad you found it helpful!
I'm so confused, I just got a 9 for bass fishing. Used it for the first time today on a chesty and used 5 min looping. I'm only getting one minute chunks and none of them sync up to make the complete 5 mins, I just started my camera in looping at the beginning of this video and once it got to about 7 minutes recording in looping mode on my hero 9 I clicked stop recording, but only have a one minute video in my GoPro's gallery. Any insight??
@swimjigjake3567 that's odd that you would have all those 1 min pieces of vid but they don't sync up. Unless they're in a folder with other pieces of video and the clip numbers assigned by the GoPro have it so they're not in numerical order, if that makes sense. I feel like I'd have to actually sit down with the cam and have a look at what it's recording on the card
can u please help me . ive tried many times settings in looping . whieven one i used it only leaves the beginning time. not the last 5mins of the recording plss help me.. gopro8black
Fantastic way of looking at it. Thank you.
@AshleyBrayson You're quite welcome!
Do you use the GoPro remote that will start and stop several cameras with on button press? Saves a lot of running around in the boat. If the remote works properly.
Christopher Eric I don't for the following reason. It's very rare that on any given catch I need to stop all of the cameras in the boat. Most of the time it's only 3 of the 5 that are running and if I stopped all of them, I would just be wasting SD card space on the cameras that didn't capture anything useful
Salute sir. Best explanation!
@ind_cn4077 Thank you!
Thank you so much for your time and explanation on this. There is still a part which confuses me a tad. I think I know the answer, but it would be good to hear your input. I wish your example had continued for at least 10-12 more minutes. My camera is on 5 Min looping. I came home from a day of fishing. I tried to be diligent about stopping the video after every catch. When I got home, I found 108 files. I lost an absolute ton of footage and have no idea where it went, since I tried to always stop the filming after the catch. Once you stop videoing, you are saying it saves 5 clips and then a bit of the clip it was recording when you pressed Stop. Now, let's say you instantly start recording again and 60 minutes go by before you catch another fish. Once you land it, you stop recording. Then you go home. What would you expect to be on the card? Fish 1: The original 5 full 1 minute videos, the partial 6th video, then Fish 2: 5 full 1 minute videos and another partial video? Total of 10, 1 minute videos, and 2 videos of less than one minute? Another way to ask the same question, once you stop recording, does it permanently mark the previous 5 minutes and the one partial video as not overwriteable? I sure do appreciate the video and your help!
Paul's Outdoor Academy I'm glad thus was a bit of help to you. So when you came home from the trip where you ended up with 108 files, the math says that you started filming 18 separate occasions (6x18=108). It's odd that you were missing footage though. To answer your question if you catch a fish and stop the camera, you will have 5 full clips and a partial. Then film for 60 min and catch another fish and stop it, another 5 full clips and a partial for a total of 12 clips, Ten 1 min clips and 2 partials.
Paul's Outdoor Academy I've attached a video of a class I taught on filming and starting at the 14:30 mark, I start talking about looping. Maybe there's something in there that will help make more sense of it all 😊

You rock!!!! Thank you so much!
Love the video ! I am now picking up a 7 black. I am having such a hard time figuring out which of the older GoPro cameras loop. I bought a gopro4 silver from eBay and it would not loop. I think the gopro3 black loops. Do you know of any others?
Lure Junkie All of the Black series GoPros of a 3 or higher are capable of looping. The Hero 4 Silver is what I use as my chest camera, and it definitely has looping capabilites. Not sure why the one you have wouldn't do that.
Great Video! you made it very easy to understand. how much did you have to pay for the Cyberlink Power Director 15?
Valley View Outdoors I'm so glad to hear the video was helpful! I think when I bought it, it was around $120.
So does GoPro offer any way to save greater than 1 minute files while looping? If you loop at 20 minutes, does it save 5 minute files, or 20 of the 1 minute files?
Musky McLean as soon as you go to the 20 and 60 min loop, it saves in 5 minute files
Love this video! Subscribed. You made it super clear!
Journies Home Garden I'm so glad you hear it was helpful!
thank you for this I look foward to hearing you speak in Wausau. To be clear, once you hit stop on the camera and then restart it will save a new additional set of 5 clips on the sd card so you will have all of the clips at the end of the day correct?
David Hardt Yup, everytime you start and stope the camera it will save a set of 6 clips assuming that it's been recording for more than 5 minutes between starting and stopping.
Amazing explanation, thanks 🙏🏼
mendoza6335 You're quite welcome!
Awesome video man 🤙🏼
@solaricons Thank you!
Great job explaining this.
Fish Wisconsin Thank you!
Great explanation
@Engler141 Thanks!
I have a gopro 9 black, not sure what I did wrong but when I was using looping mode it left 100s of 1 minutes videos. I have the same settings as yours in this video. It didn't deleted any videos, it has whole bunch of 1 minute videos. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
@712Lifepersonal I've never come across that, unfortunately. If it was set to the 5 min loop, evertine you start and stop after more than 5 mins of filming, you should be left with 6 video files, 5 full 1 min clips and one that will be somewhere between 1 and 59 secs long. There will be other files as well that will end with .LRV and .THM, but I never save them.
It all made sense to me.
I didn't go to the MN muskie expo. I didn't feel up to it.
The Lonesome Fisherman I'm sorry to hear that. I'm driving home from the PA Muskie Max show right now. Hope you start feeling better!
@@AnglingAnarchy Now I don't feel so bad about not going. My main reason for going would have been to meet you and you weren't there either. HA!
Safe travels to you
Nice Video. This one made me hit the subscribe button.
Aaron Sands I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome breakdown!
Craig Bukowski Thank you!
the best explanation.
@waynege9565 Thanks!
Do any of the budget cams have this same type of looping?
Because the 2 no name brands i have the looping is very different than this.
@NiteWolfFishing Unfortunately I don't have a good answer for you because I've never used any other camera than a GoPro.
@@AnglingAnarchy Thanks.
Wish i could afford one. the 2 no name i have are crap. half my day gets corrupted.
There loop just breaks the day down into set mins of files, and the loop part means when the card is full it loops over the start of the day.
Wouldn't it be nice if they had a 10 minute loop? Like you said, sometimes 5 is just a little too short, and i think 20 minutes is overkill
Old Musky Guy I've often mentioned to people that a 10 min option would be the best!
How many saved "5" minute clips can you save on a standard SD card? Good information as always! I was hoping to get to Wausau for the musky convention, but "they" are calling for a possible snow....which means I'll have to stay here just in case 😬....News update... just watched the weather forecast... maybe I will make it...
Curt Adams If memory serves me correctly you can get about 1 hr 15 min on a 32 GB Mico SD card filming at 1080 60 fps, so about 12 of the 5 min loops.
Great video, Have you ever had a problem with cameras overheating? And if so is there something I can do about it?
Ron Ring Thank you! I've personally never had a camera overheat on me, but I have heard of it. Most of the time it is when you are powering the camera externally while the battery is still in it. Which model camera are you having problems with?
great video man
I have a question for you. How do I get this filming stay on all day with plug usb c to solar power charging bank or usb c outlet to car or motorcycle or whatever the battery source is connected to. Do you have the video how to use it all day long? Like 8-10 hours?
@Foryou-bv4lp Here's a video I did about that! th-cam.com/video/EK3WoT1Gqvs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_xUd8MQLbonqATTk
@@AnglingAnarchy Thank you. I have a question. I do not want to misunderstood. I do not need to put battery inside of Gopro. just cord and powerbank. that's it? or do i have to use battery anyway to make the go pro function?
@Foryou-bv4lp You got it. If you're going to power the GoPro externally with a USB cord and power bank, remove the internal battery from the camera.
@@AnglingAnarchy Thank you so much! I cant wait to try this and see how it goes.
Have you ever had issues with the hero 7 only recording one segment during looping? My GoPro will only record one clip on looping
I just seen your video on the looping mode. I have GoPro 5. I can put it in looping mode but when I stop it goes back to regular video. Is this only in GoPro 5. Because I'm looking at a 7 to purchase.
@catfishingwithwayne4964 I think what you'll need to do is set looping video as your default in the settings. It should be easy to do through the GoPro app Quik
@@AnglingAnarchy I did exactly what you suggested and it works thank you for your input
@@catfishingwithwayne4964 You bet!
❤dude this so helpful, thanks

Thanks Mister!
@Coober88 You're quite welcome!
Bro this functions is thesame in osmo action 3?
@JIMS-ADVENTURES I'm not sure if it is. I'm not familiar with the Osmo cams.
Ok "start 5min Stop = File" If I do another "Start-loop- stop" will this be 2 files? Or does the next starting loop erase the first file.??
@alsmith568 Starting a new loop never erases a file(or files) saved from a previous loop
I’m sure someone has asked this but how far back does this feature go in terms of GoPros? I have wanted to do this for years but have never gotten into it because of money into GoPros. I figure if I am going to film I would want at least 2 or 3 cameras but I can’t currently afford the brand new ones. Do the hero 5’s have the looping feature? Thank you for the very informational video! Also side question, what editing software do you use? Thanks!!
Isaiah Bettinger Great Question! The looping feature first became available in the Hero 3 models and pretty much anything after that has it, with the exception of some of the white and silver versions, which they've pretty much done away with as far as I know. I really like the Hero 7 Black and they are usually pretty easy to find refurbished on Amazon in the $220-$240 range. The editing software I use is Cyberlink Powerdirector. For around $140 it's really powerful software and just a notch under what would be considered "professional" grade software. Hope that helps! Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
is there a way to not 'stop' the camera, but tell the camera to grab the last 5, but continue recording?
@NRYT2360 Other than physically hitting the record button on the camera or using the app, you have to stop the recording for it to save the files.
how many batteries do you go through in a day of fishing with looping mode?
Oregon Fishing Adventures I typically don't have to change batteries at all through the course of the day as I'm externally powering my cameras. You'd probably go through 7 or 8 of the in-camera batteries in a day of filming.
@@AnglingAnarchy I can't externally power my GoPro because I live in Oregon and on any given day it can switch from sun to rain in a instance and some days I'm just spending the whole day fishing in the rain
@Oregon Fishing Adventures Gotcha, yeah, that would present a bit of a problem then.
@@AnglingAnarchy I do not use looping mode currently cuz I only have 4 batteries and don't think they would last a whole day of fishing so I just record whenever I feel like I need to
Thank you sir
@imzaazmi You're quite welcome!
I get the concept, but What happens if I catch more than 1 fish? Are u saying when I hit the button it automatically saves the 5- 1 min files. So if I catch 2 fish I will have 10 files saved. Etc etc
@jasonvelasquez6673 you actually end up with 6 files each time you stop recording. 5 full 1 minutes files and the last one will be somewhere between 1 and 59 seconds. So, yes, essentially each time you stop the camera, you will have 6 clips, or 12 clips or 18, so on and so forth.
@@AnglingAnarchy cool thx for the info!
What's the use of looping when it's just gonna delete the other video if it's over the time loop
@marieldugenia7336 For what I do, looping is almost essential. I fish for hours on end and need to capture the moment a fish finally strikes. So what looping allows me to do is to continually film so that I can capture that moment, without filling up my cameras SD card. Whether that happens in the first few minutes, or 6 hours into the day, all the camera ever saves is what has happened the last 5 minutes because that's all the footage I'm concerned with. Hope that makes sense.
What if you are recording in looping in max minutes. And your go pro battery goes out. Did the last file will be save?
Mendoza Familia When the battery dies, it should save it, same as if you hit the stop record button.
@@AnglingAnarchy thank you. You save a lot. Cheers
Is this comparable to hindsight?
@charlestaylor8913 As far as I'm cocerned, hindsight wouldn't be useful in a fishing application because it only goes back 30 seconds, I think. To short of a timespan for what I'm doing, anyway.
What if looping is off? Coz when my cam looping is off , it does not record.
@lakibird21 That's odd. If you don't have it in looping mode, it should just be in regular video mode and it will record until the SD card is full.
Why not just use hindsight mode which when you hit the record button it goes back 15 or 30 seconds and the recording lasts until you stop recording? For example, a fish bites and you hit record. The saved file will go back 30 seconds and it saves the file, from the 30 seconds prior to hitting the record button until you stop.
@winchestermodel7044 The hindsight mode isnt available until the Hero 9 model, and I've got all Hero 7's for the most part. Even if I did have that function, I would definitely still loop. If it only goes back 30 seconds, there's a lot of action that would be missed by the time someone in the boat had time to hit record. The way muskies act boatside, the Hindsight function just wouldn't be a good fit. I'm sure it's great for other things, but musky fishing is definitely not one of them.
@@AnglingAnarchyoh ok. I was thinking in terms of bass fishing and wearing the camera.
@@winchestermodel7044 Right on, I could see it working well in that case.
Why do all fishing TH-camrs always hit their GoPro as soon as the fish hits? They are definitely doing loop mode too. So you saying to wait until after you release the fish then hit the button. What button?
No protune when looping....?`
nice details on looping... though the clowns at GoPro in my opinion, could care less or are forgetting about a huge segment of customers... this is us fisherman because with the new and much more expense GoPro 10 they have created serious issues with being able to run the camera(s) at even 2.7k @ 30 or 60 fps for any length of time... I don't know how the heck you'd run any length of time with 4K or the newer 5k+ stuff... I'm also a muskie hunter in the fall periods (mostly lmb smb during season... though I'm not the guy going Mach II with my hair on fire up and down the lake).If you've hooked a four footer it take more than few minutes to land them... so we need longer runs times. I like you also like to run the cameras all day long on power packs or plugged into usb ports around the boat, or yolotek devices... the GoPro 10... which means this is their tenth crack at creating/improving a camera! They've taken 5 steps backwards... in my opinion they the 10s have serious overheating issues which again in my opinion started manifesting itself in the 7 series of cameras which I own two of those and struggle to shoot 2.7k @30 for any length of time... We're not sky divers who flight time might be a couple minutes and when they hit the ground they can rave that the GoPro is the greatest thing since sliced cheese... we're fishing... at least we're trying to and our run times are much much longer... sorry for the rant but it just burns me... their attitude at GoPro these days, turn this off, turn that off, lower this setting lower that setting... what's the point of the camera then? You're details on lopping are very good. thank you kindly... jk
John Kajfes I think you win for the longest comment I've ever received! 😁 But you make some very good points. I have pretty good luck with my Hero 7's, but I'm also not doing anything with a higher resolution than 1080. Also, GoPro missed the boat on a 10 min loop, I think that would be so much better than the 5 or 20 setting that they now have. Excellent insights and I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thank you sir!
I remove the GoPro battery when hooked up to a portable battery pack and have no overheating issues with my 10.
how do you restart looping again?
@verenchook when you hit the record button to stop the camera, you just simply hit it again to start recording and it will start a new loop.
Ahhhh...got it
CLIQUES & VUES Good!
I was posting my question everywhere and clearly nobody has an answer to my question, not even the self proclaimed 'GoPro experts'. They have no idea what I'm talking about. I was hoping you can give me the correct answer to my simple question? Now, let's just be honest about it ... we all know the GoPro media mod is a worthless add-on simply because those microphones are terrible. So, as a serious videographer, I need to use my own external microphone.
My question is this: Can I use a USB-C splitter on the Hero 11 so I can simultaneously connect the Volta (for longer shooting times) and an external microphone like the Rode Wireless Go2 or the DJI Mic? Will it work? If yes, what USB-C splitter do you recommend?
Thanks!
Izak Niemann Well unfortunately I won't be a ton of help either as I've never tried to do that, but looking at what is required, (a usb-c splitter and then perhaps a usb-c to 3.5mm dongle) you should be able to get what you need on Amazon for around the $30 mark. I wish I could be of more help. I would like to think that you could run 2 "channels" (one being power and the other being audio) into the same port and have it work, but never having tried it, all I can offer is pure conjecture. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
@@AnglingAnarchy Thanks for your reply - much appreciated. I have done a lot of research and I have 3 options:
1. 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.
2. I can just use the DJI Mic completely wireless and simply sync the video with the audio afterwards during editing.
3. The GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter has a 3.5mm mic input AND a USB-C input too. So, I can buy the Ulanzi G9-4 as well as the GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter that has a 3.5mm mic input AND a USB-C input and that will also do the job.
Problem solved.
HOLY CRAP I UNDERSTAND NOW DISREGARD MY PREVIOUS QUESTION
Nosnorb Repooc Got it all figured out now? 😊
Is the concept the same when looping for 20 or 60 minutes......? What are the file save increments ?
P M The concept is the same, but it saves in 5 min chunks instead of 1 min.
@@AnglingAnarchy Got it thanks. So the 60 min looping would have 5x12 chunks. Cool.....
