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!
This is fantastic. Your videos are so informative and your knowledge is so great that there is not a second waisted watching it. An hour ago l wasn't very optimistic that l would learn how to use my Hero 8 but now when l have watchet four of your videos l have learned a lot an l am very optimistic. Thanks for taking the time to help me out. I really appreciate it 😊👍
I decided to upgrade from my hero3 to the hero8. It looks like it is a really good upgrade, I can't wait until it arrives. I will bookmark your video to keep as a reference.
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
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 TH-cam screen. Your hands, however, take up nearly 50% of the screen. Something to think about.
Spectacular video. I just got my G8 and I thought they removed all the functions until watching this video. It really helped me get the most out of my purchase!
This video is great! ❤ Thanks for sharing this wonderful tutorial. 👍 , I'm still wondering why my GoPro8 is getting hotter after a few mins.. 😢 even I removed the battery and used my power bank, still hotter. I don't know why? 😔
Just bought an excellent used one. I have a Hero 3 silver I have been using to take video and still shots of a shipwreck in Lake Michigan that has been uncovered by the beach erosion. The 3 keeps loosing connection with my phone in the gopro app. Not sure if the 8 will do the same.
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
Thank you for all the video’s you make I am getting a GoPro shortly and I enjoy watching these video’s so I can get to know a bit more about the GoPro Hero 8 Black.
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.
That was a great help. You wouldn't know why my Hero 8 black goes into speed-film mode when the one-touch button is actvated by any chance ? I've reset everything and it still does it. User-error on start up is a suspect.......
Thanks for straight up information, no shouting at the camera or extreme hand gestures and other annoying body language that is annoying and distracts from the message.
Turning down rear display screen is really helpful when you are using your smart phone as external monitor. I wish this was built in feature, or something you can toggle. Smart phone has bigger screen 😲 🤔
Cool vid, A question regarding fps and shutter. Ive heard that your shutter should be double your fps but but on a sunny day when setting shutter to double the fps whether its 120 or 240 it makes the image very bright
Hello from Harrisburg Pennsylvania 🇺🇸 what do you use to keep 💦 water spots off the lens when doing water activity , whenever I go Jetsking or riding my motorcycle in the rain the water 💦 spots ruin my videos or photos shots
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.
@@AirPhotography is the 8 as stabil as people claim? (Usually review people are paid and or got a free camera) I wish people would post RAW,100% untouched ,UNgraded..ACTUAL out of camera footage
I just ordered one, a 1st timer. Can you start and stop a video then simply start it again? I have video capabilities on my Nikon D7000 DSLR but as soon as I turn off the start button it doesn't continue the original video the next time I start it again. In other words I can't pause it.
@@AirPhotography Thanks! That's not good, I see other videos where it appears there's a seamless change in camera angles. perhaps they are using a different camera or editing files together. It's much simpler to just hit pause then move the camera and restart it.
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.
my go pro hero 8 black has not been damaged in any sort or form, but it will not tur itself on. Only the red light in the front and nothing else... i have tried some of the reset things, like holding the mode button for 10 seconds..nothing works
This is really great, especially the adjustment of settings for underwater. Have you experienced the gopro 8 jumping between photo to video or to timlapse when not recording in water?
Enjoyable and informative instructional tips so thanks. One question: I noticed that the GoPro has GPS and couldn't help wondering about finding it if it gets misplaced somehow. Are we only able to locate it with the beeps it makes or can the GPS help us as well ? Cheers, J. Noe
Is there a way I can also use my GoPro 8 as a backup camera for my motorhome? Just want to monitor and not record. Can I plug into 12v, connect to app, and have the iPhone show what’s behind us without automatically turning off? Thanks for all the tips!
I have a GoPro hero 8 black and I put a new SD card in it and it worked perfect but after a few hours the touch screen still works but the background is black and won’t show through the shutter how do I fix this?
Thanks for the video, tips and tricks. Glad to see that you never use the app from gopro wich has a real issue in connecting with phones. Very disappointing because the camera is great. Do you think we will soon see an update ?
i have a problem where the go pro front screen is black , but it is still on, i saw some comments mentioning sg card being placed in a wrong place for the prev models , however this one does not have a wrong spot as far as i know , so what shall i do know is it a mode or its a malfunction from the camera? plz if u can help
Sir, there is a feature in gopro hero 8 that allows user to playback a video in slowmo. Is there a possibility that we can save a video in slowmo in gopro hero 8 device itself?
Hi. I watched your first review of the Hero 8, and it sounded like you didn't recommend it. One big issue was the lack of being able to replace the protective lens cover. What are your thoughts now? It sounds like you do like it?
Found you a couple weeks ago and have been watching alot of your videos. Have to say I really enjoy them. But I wanted to know what GoPro you would recommend for someone who's never had a GoPro. Been thinking about the hero 8 black or hero 7 black but not sure.
Well you can get some really good deals on the Hero 7 right now And really it is an excellent camera. But my preference is the 8 I am really enjoying all the new features
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 a question here sir, so you plugged in power bank and GoPro started charging, so can you actually record while charging? and does it charge the battery? I am asking that because, I plugged in the wall charger and it was not charging the battery though it was showing the fluctuating animation..!!
@@AirPhotography Thanks for the revert..!! Actually, I was talking about the wall charger, I had the battery inside the GoPro and then I started charging it using wall charger, the battery was 5% and it never increased beyond 5% after 30 mins, then I switched off the GoPro and then it started charging..!!
Great content thanks. ? Why did my GoPro hero 8 record 3 files upside down and 3 files the right way up in quick capture mode , I had it mounted on my bike.
If you have the camera mounted, you should set the orientation. Otherwise, the internal gyro can get confused to the camera orientation when first turning on to record, which will result in video being recorded upside down or even sideways.
DANIEL Rogness set the orientation to ? It was previously on landscape when it happened the first time, this morning I set it to ALL, same thing happened 🤷🏻♂️
Do you have any idea why this GoPro won't charge while recording? Mine won't allow me to record and charge at the same. I am trying to do extended time lapse (8 hours). Thank you.
My GoPro Hero 8 black (first gopro) was about to be flung out of a window until I watched this video.THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Very Informative!
Great video
cant wait for the day that GoPro actually makes a good battery!!
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.
What would you recommend buying - Gopro 8, Sony X3000 or Osmo Action? Thanks
Hero 8. ALL DAY.
My vote would be the hero 8
@@AirPhotography is the 8 as stabil as people claim? (Usually review people are paid and or got a free camera)

@@AirPhotography GP says older batteries wont let all functions work..what exactly wont work?
BOOSTEDLASER I do believe it has to do with hyper smooth in some high frame rates

Every time you hit stop recording and then start recording again it will create a new file

Thank you very much
can u share your best settings with time warp and night lapse?
I am just wondering how bad the battery drain was throughout the video :), each 10% battery loss is like 10 mins of video footage gone..!!
I know this video is old but you cannot use a powerbank with the battery installed if you want to record.

Wow that is crazy. I’ve never had to use that service but I would not be happy with that turn around

The GPS is only used to embed metadata within the video track, different Different telemetry details such as speed etc.
Thanks for that, well explained
How did you upload yor videos so very clear? Can you make a tutorial to that?
Is there a way I can also use my GoPro 8 as a backup camera for my motorhome? Just want to monitor and not record. Can I plug into 12v, connect to app, and have the iPhone show what’s behind us without automatically turning off? Thanks for all the tips!
You can set the power off to never. Also maybe you can try live stream mode.
It is possible. But for long-term solution I think there might be a better option
