    I just ordered hero10 and found out it likes to overheat too anyways thanks for video some good info at least for the ones like me that haven’t used a GoPro. Good thing bringing up to check the battery too.
    Good job and thanks.

      Thank you! I think someone commented about some settings to change that would help it run cooler but I've never had a chance to try

    Good video man thank you much appreciated I’m a truck driver and i needed a dash cam so i was looking for a good one but i had this laying around. I’m gonna try to put defrost on for cooling it down hopefully it works

    • @CFarmer
      @CFarmer  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I still use mine every day but it still gets hot and cuts off but running on defrost really helps. it's too convenient to use and love the app. Good luck with yours and thank you for the comment!

      I have to format mine in a laptop or desktop from time to time. If it gets glitchy that usually fixes mine

    Since I run an dedicated dashcam already, I want to use my Hero 7 Black to stream the footage, via the HDMI cable to the monitors on my tour bus. Not sure if it is going to work yet. I have been running a separate Mini 805P dashcam that has a HDMI port for that & it works great and the passengers love it. I changed bus companies & now I cannot find another Mini 805P dashcam that has HDMI out, so going to give my GoPro a try. Since I won't have a SD card in it, hoping it won't build heat & shut off.
    Thanks for the video.

    • @CFarmer
      @CFarmer  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's cool. In another comment someone told me if I turn the resolution down it would help a lot with the heat but I haven't tried it yet

    When you say you forget to shut it off over the weekend and it was still running how does that work with card space? How far back would you be able to go watch when you picked it up on Monday?

    • @CFarmer
      @CFarmer  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It hold around 4 hours if I remember correctly. I bought a dash cam and have been using it for a couple of months now. Miss the quality of the go pro though

      Yes, it would loop about 4 hours. The bad part is I caint remember what size card I had in it

    So I just got a hero 10 to use as a dash cam. Mine overheat yesterday after about 10 minutes. Have you tried using it without the battery and just plugged in to a power source ? I'm wondering if hardwiring it without a battery will help

    • @CFarmer
      @CFarmer  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I never tried without the battery but somewhere in the comments someone told me the video settings could cause it to overheat. I wanted to adjust my video settings down and see if it helped but i got a dedicated dash cam and let it slip my mind

      You can choose to "loop" it. And it'll won't fill up your SD no matter how long you're recording for

    @chltmdwp 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Perhaps, Gopros are better for rear cameras, not as your main one if you're worried about overheating it. What do you think? Most dashcams that come with rear cameras are very trash.

      True, I like the video quality and the app. Wished gopro would come out with a dedicated dash cam that would work with the app and stay cool
