      why your company can't make an algorithm of how to set up in different ways and supply customers with a copy. I buy Shimano fishing stuff and Shimano has a website on how to use each of the stuff and they are so good explaining easily that dogs will understand.

    I just bought the hero 12 and was filming in a state park, some teens walked by and yelled "GOPRO TURN OFF" and my camera shut off 😂...in my old age I always take a deep breath give a little chuckle and try to remember I was a teenager once.

      @GreatDayForAHike  ปีที่แล้ว

      I appreciate your feedback. That sounds like a fun adventure!
      Anything you are filming outside in good lighting you have a lot of flexibility to pick your settings, but I recommend 5.3K for the highest resolution and color mode of Natural unless you want to grade the footage in which case I recommend Flat. Any scenes you may want to do slow motion with later on I recommend filming in 5.3K 60 or 4K 120. Any scenes you just want at normal speed I recommend 24 or 30 fps. If you're filming in any low lighting,or dimmer, inside lighting, then I recommend checking out this video for those specific settings that will give best results: th-cam.com/video/_gUKzdUWJ6Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NZeLh9dUxQQ9FIHe

    Nice video, I was able to follow along easily.
    One question, my Hero 12 when viewing the back screen, displays the video mode data beneath the name (custom, or epic) in this order:
    Aspect|Resolution|Frame Rate|Lens
    Your camera had this below mode name:
    Resolution|Aspect|Frame Rate|Lens
    Can you help me find how to make that change?
    Also In watched your qrcontrol video where you shared 5 or so of your favs, I like the ISO and Shutter Speed mod the best.
    But I wanted to delete those changes and re-do them to learn the camera and app process better.
    Thanks and keep making these videos

      That is a great question and something I have been wondering as well. From a technical standpoint I don’t see why this couldn’t be done. I’m wondering though if GoPro will keep this feature locked down to the 12 only in an effort to encourage upgrading to the 12.

    • @octny
      @octny ปีที่แล้ว +1

      from what I read previously, GoPro had a patent problem so that's why they removed the feature from the hero 5 onwards, maybe except the 8. so if that's true, it was not a hardware limitation but rather a software one.@@GreatDayForAHike

    I ordered the Hero 12 Black with some accesories including a charging station that comes with 2 Enduro batteries. One thing that caught me off was that neither the camera nor the charging station came with a wall charger. Not even the type like you have gotten with phones for awhile now that is an household outlet to USB port. IDK just weird to me. Like I can understand possibly why no wall adaptor with the camera. But the chargering stand not having one, just seems cheap to me.

    • @GreatDayForAHike
      @GreatDayForAHike  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, it is a shame the charging station doesn’t come with a wall charger since a wall charger is the best way to rapidly charge GoPro batteries.

    Thank you for this video, it has been very helpful. Question: How can I remove the fishbowl look on the camera? This is my very first time with video camera, period. I am also using the Max Len 2.0. Thank you in advance for your help.

    • @GreatDayForAHike
      @GreatDayForAHike  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I appreciate your feedback. You have a few options to remove distortion. You can firstly shoot your clips in Linear on the camera. If you shoot in Wide you can use tools in most video editing software programs to remove the bit of distortion. The GoPro Player app with the ReelSteady add-on will also enable you to remove this. If you shoot in superview or hyperview removing the distortion in post will be more challenging. The Max Lens Mod 2.0 is a great add-on. Enjoy!

    • @ninjanexus6244
      @ninjanexus6244 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The fish eye effect is caused by the max lens 2. There are ways to make it a lighter fisheye effect but to remove it you would have to not use the max lens 2 sadly

      Make sure you have your Hero 12 video mode set to highest quality. Also, make sure to change your bitrate to high. Also, if your frames per second is to set to anything higher than 30, make sure to lower the fps to 30 or below. In 8:7 you can only go as high as 30fps.
