I bought my Go pro back in 2018 used it on a trip, then it has sat until now. Decided to finally start using it and had no clue where to start. Found your video. Now have an idea how to use it. Thanks for the video. I even got the date and time set right.
I bought the Gopro Hero 2018 today. I had absolutely no idea how to use it, and I came across your video whilst charging the battery. Your video is absolutely brilliant, such detail. Thank you very much for taking so much time to help others.
Perfect beginner's guide. You have covered everything from scratch to the advanced level in beginning . easy and simple way of explaining. Cheers mate....... from : India/Malaysia
Well done. I just bought one of these as my first GoPro, mostly to be used on a tripod to film soccer games. The wide view allows me to fit more field into the frame, plus the durability will be great when there's a lot of sand / rain / dirt...ect out at our games. I feel like I'm fully informed on it now.
This is the BEST video for learning how to use the Hero 2018! I use it often and am still learning new things on this site every few months. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. This is my first action camera and I freaked out when I realized it did not come with instructions. You answered all off my questions and concerns. Thanks again
Recently got one of these and absolutely love it. So much fun recording stuff. Highly recommend it if you dont need 4k or anything too fancy. Works great for hockey videos
Thanks so much without your clip I would not have been able to set mine up - The instruction book is far too small to read what you did was very much appreciated.
Purchased this GoPro Hero 2018 model two nights ago (which comes with a free 32 GB microSDHC), suction cup mount, bag pack and A GoPro casey all from the official GoPro website. This guide is awesome and will help me loads once my stuff arrives. Thanks!
What I mainly wanted a GoPro for was to capture in car footage for my channel of my summer car I only take out the garage in good weather. That being said, Is the new 2018 Hero the right move? It seems it from your video but some other videos say otherwise...
just received GoPro HERO 7 , watched beginners guide video and highly recommended for beginners like me , to watch before you try to use your new camera ! thanks
Really handy very informative I think I now have a fair idea of what I can do and I have been able to set the GoPro up - can't wait now to give this a go!
Good stuff. Mucho graz. Love the detail you go into and the vid lighting lets us see whatever on the camera you are talking about. Much easier to understand than words in the manual.
Hi from Australia, love your channel. I watched your video when I got my gopro hero 7 black, which I love. Very informative and inspiring, I decided to start up my diy channel again after a number of years. You have great tips and techniques.Thanks again.
Normally, these videos put me to sleep, but this one was so informative I couldn't pull away. GREAT info, your voice varied so you didn't lull me to sleep, just a great video. Now I will go to look and see what else you have on here!!! Thanks!!!
WOW THANKS A LOT, JUST GOT IT AND OPENED THE PACKAGE VERY SIMLIAR HOW YOU DID. AND THEN TRIED TO READ THE DIRECTION PACKAGE THAT WAS WITH THE BOX AND EVEN WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS COULD READ THE VERY VERY FINE PRINT. A VERY WELL PACKED VIDEO THANKS .
This is some pretty great stuff as always. I plan on skipping this model and going for the 6. You just can't go wrong with that buttery smooth image stabilization . The hero session is going to be my secondary b-roll camera
Thank you my friend. Great video. Very good explanation of all the workings and attachments of the go pro . You made it easy for the likes of me whose not up on modern technology. Thank you.
Just got my first GoPro Hero 2018 for Christmas and I'm looking forward to using this when I go on motorcycle rides and vacations. Your video was very informative and I will check out your other videos. Thanks for the useful information.
Bought this as my first gopro and the video was great. Thank you. I have read that it is possible to update this to the hero 5 black through a firmware update. Is this true?
Outstanding video! - i had received this GoPro Hero back in 2018 for Christmas and never opened it because it was misplaced. We moved and found it.- I was hoping to find a video that would walk me through since it's my very first GoPro. Am i glad i found your video sir! Not only is intuitive, but also entertaining. You certainly have a gift for teaching and i thank you. I have become your fan, and subscribed to your channel because of this great video. My sincere gratitude sir.
Just watched this whilst setting up my new Hero 6. I can confirm my GoPro voice activation responds perfectly to your voice , telling it to do stuff and then switching off 🤣📸
Loving this. lol Coming back from the stone age. My last camera is from 11 years ago. Defensively going to be getting this one. Thank you for this cool video.
This was a great video. I just bought the 2018 Hero. Im not a big video or camera user and don't plan on uploading any video's. I am taking flying lessons thought and this will be a great learning tool for me to debrief after flights. Thanks man.
Excellent tutorial. Any chance you have one on uploading to you tube or your desktop. And how to delete from your memory stick? Regardless thanks very much!!!
Thank you very much for this video. I struggled horribly just with the unboxing and their website was opaque. You're right. It did take a lot of force to remove the casing. I was afraid I was breaking it. Your video really helped, thank you.
Great Video Mr, I just picked one up yesterday at Best Buy on sale for $149. The instruction manual was unreadable because the print is so small. You answered all my questions to the Tee, know I can’t wait to start talking Photos and videos.
Awesome walk through of the Hero 2018! I did not receive a manual, with small or extra small print, but a question if I may. If the GoPro app does not work with Windows would you recommend just uploading the data by removal of the mini SD card? Thanks
I know nothing about Go Pro and this was a fantastic beginners review, thanks. The only thing I wish is that the audio were better, almost every sentence trailed off to the point where I could not hear it but still great info. Now I need to find out the differences between all the models, Go Pro 5, 6, 7 and so on. I had no idea they had so many. This one is a 2018, but it has no model number..., another learning curve I guess. OK, thank you.
Hi Mate Just purchased this GoPro.Thanks for uploading this video, its really helped fast-track everything. Can't wait to use it for snorkeling at Great Barrier Reef!
thank you, this is a great video I come back to it all the time when I can't remember how something work on my gopro. I only use the gopro once a year if even that lol
Excellent video . Been trying to decide if i should get one of these for months, think i finally will though. Currently do my videos using my Android but by the end of the day the battery is nearly dead and im left without a phone! Will definately invest in the spare battery and charger too!
Thank you so much for the video. I have a couple of questions. I'm getting videos while flying. What's the best setting to have during bright days? I've been trying and I can't see anything outside properly. I would like to have a good balance. The other question is about the best setting for night flights. Thank you.
I am a new user. Could you recommend me one to get? Just to use for daily memories collection and sometimes going out with friends and family. I have no clue what this device was until I watched your video. I hope you will recommend me something here.
Hi Bro Sorry I don’t know is there already people asking my question since you have many comments. I want know what best mem card speed to use, ultra or extreme speed ?
I’m wanting to get started with a go pro. I’m looking at mainly getting video while we ride with a group on motorcycles. Would this be a good one for that or should I go with the go pro 7. Lot of great info with your videos. How much recording time can I DL. Would it hurt to leave go pro plugged into cig lighter on bike while recording. Thanks again for your video and info.
I have been trying to charge my go pro camera and it's been well over 4 hours. More like 12 and the light has yet to go off. What could be wrong? It's brand new.

Very useful. This is my first GoPro and your video helped me a lot. Thanks.

Great tutorial 👍🏻 I just got my first GoPro for my 10th birthday. Looking forward to watching your videos.
excellent video, I learned a ton just by watching. Always wondered why everyone loves GoPros. Starting to see why!
Thank you very much for this video. I struggled horribly just with the unboxing and their website was opaque. You're right. It did take a lot of force to remove the casing. I was afraid I was breaking it. Your video really helped, thank you.
This helped me out so much thx great video btw
Great Video Mr, I just picked one up yesterday at Best Buy on sale for $149. The instruction manual was unreadable because the print is so small. You answered all my questions to the Tee, know I can’t wait to start talking Photos and videos.
Just got mine and I’m so excited!

Hi Mate
Just purchased this GoPro.Thanks for uploading this video, its really helped fast-track everything. Can't wait to use it for snorkeling at Great Barrier Reef!
That’s great I am glad you enjoyed it. Enjoy your snorkeling 🙂
Haven’t purchased yet still doing my homework. Thanks to your video I’m a little more informed. Can you tell me how the Go Pro works with a Mac?
thank you, this is a great video I come back to it all the time when I can't remember how something work on my gopro. I only use the gopro once a year if even that lol
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it
Vey informative! I'm new to this gopro thing and just bought the 2018 model.
Thanks I’m glad you found it helpful
Really informative! Made my swing vote on what to get. Thank you so much and keep up the good videos!
Thanks for watching and enjoy your new camera when you get it :)
Good stuff! But how do i transfer everything to laptop or my android smart phone? I just paired it up on my wi fy.
Excellent video . Been trying to decide if i should get one of these for months, think i finally will though. Currently do my videos using my Android but by the end of the day the battery is nearly dead and im left without a phone! Will definately invest in the spare battery and charger too!

Can you please tell me whether the smart remote is compatible with gopro hero(2018) or not.Or can you show us a tutorial video. Thanks
glad I saw this before opening the box, knowing me I would of got seriously frustrated with the packaging. Great vid cheers
I am a new user. Could you recommend me one to get? Just to use for daily memories collection and sometimes going out with friends and family. I have no clue what this device was until I watched your video. I hope you will recommend me something here.
I just got mine ... excited !!!
Amazing video . Helped so much. Thank you
That’s great I’m glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching
Great video! Question how do u pull a picture out of a video?
Thank you! A very good guide! 👏🏼
Do you recommend a battery charger and extra batteries brand that is not go pro? Just trying to find a cheaper option but with value. Thanks!
Gopro hero 2018 is just locked hero 5. There is a "jailbreak" to unlock it
No timer?
How do you perform the jailbreak?
Very good tutorial. The audio feature wasn't mentioned. Is there a feature or adapter that would let me use an external mic with this camera?
Terry Faust I saw in another review that you can use the hero 5 external mic adapter..
Yes you can however it doesn’t give me some of the extra audio options in the menu but it works just fine
Is there an adapter cable for a 1/8" mic jack to the GoPro USB port?
Thanks for the video! This will be my next camera
Nice 👍
Very helpful video...excellent review!
Thank you!! Very informative introductory video. :)
Hi Bro
Sorry I don’t know is there already people asking my question since you have many comments. I want know what best mem card speed to use, ultra or extreme speed ?
just stopping in to say great video. i learned several things about my new gopro. Thank You
Great I’m glad you found it helpful thanks for watching 🙂

I have been trying to charge my go pro camera and it's been well over 4 hours. More like 12 and the light has yet to go off. What could be wrong? It's brand new.
That does happen to me from time to time. Unplug it and check to see if it’s fully charged. Sometimes the light stays on
Thank you, it was very useful, grettings from Colombia.
thanks! I am set on the GoPro Hero
Thank You for the nice post.
