This video should be required v iewing for all GoPro beginners. It does an excellent job of getting you came up and running in no time. In fact, I'd go so far as to say GoPro should include it in the box with the camera! Thanks, Jordan!
I have just bought the Hero 13 as my first action camera. I'm an experienced photographer but a complete novice on GoPro. This was just what I was looking for. Many thanks. I'll be back for more! 👍 (PS. based in the UK.)
oh how I needed this! As another commenter suggested, this video should be included in the box with the camera. Excellent video for this GoPro beginner!
Just bought my GP 13 Black today. Found your TH-cam and started learning from your Great Presentation. You are a Great Teacher. I’ll probably watch this over 3 or 4 times to understand then go to your other videos. Thank You.
Just got my first GoPro and excited to get started. Your video is one I will probably come back to from time to time until I get comfortable with what I am doing
Purchased my first GoPro and have gone down the rabbit hole on YT. Yours is my favorite. Great introduction and not overwhelming for beginners. Also have pre-ordered your book and look forward to reading it. All my best.
Hi Peter, Thank you so much for your positive feedback and preorder! Congrats on your first GoPro and can't wait to help you learn more! Have a great day👍
Just bought the Hero black 13 and was confused about some use, your video really helped to be more specific about the photo/video I wish to have and the features. THANKS!
Just opened my GoPro 13. My first action camera and loved your tutorial video. It is perfect and extremely helpful. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you! I also just bought your kindle book for the 13.
Seriously.. from the bottom of my heart Mahalo.. I am now going to binge watch everyone of your videos... And I just pre-ordered your new book too... I'm leaving for Nepal in 2 weeks to do some climbing and filming and this will get me started!
I am a complete novice with ALL types of video cameras. The GoPro Hero 13 Black is my first and I have just downloaded the corresponding kindle book. Whilst I'm only a short way through the book, it has so far really explained everything in a manner in which a clueless 58 year old can absorbe! I now have the recommended video mode presets all sorted and will be progressing through the book. I have a trip on my bike down through Italy starting mid March so I need the learning curve to not stall 😂
Thank you so much!!! I appreciate the comment so much and am happy you are enjoying the vids and book. If you have time 🙏, it would be really helpful if you could share that review on Amazon. It always helps when my readers share their positive feedback. Thank you and have a great day!
Your tutorial is very much easy to follow.Appreciate all the hardwork, Jordan. Also, you deserve more subs!!! Glad found your channel...planning to buy soon!!! 😀🙏
Wow, thank you so much. Your video is so helpful. We just bought our GoPro and found your video for the beginners. You're awesome take care and God Bless 😊
I want to use my GoPro 13 to record my long-distance runs do you have any tips as to what are the best settings so that my GoPro doesn’t overheat or turn off ?
Amazing video!! I just have one question. In preview mode you said it’s in low resolution. When you download it to your phone does it download in high resolution?
We just got our GoPro 13 from Santa. Great content. Found you on TH-cam. Makes it easy for someone who doesn't like reading instruction manuals! hahahaha!
Awesome tutorial! I have an older GoPro, the most painful part was getting the video off the GoPro and trying to stitch the files back together. The standard file naming wasn't even recognized by 3rd party software to be in consecutive order. So frustrating. Did they address this critical part of the overall experience? Maybe do a separate video on this final part of getting the complete video to play off the GoPro. Much appreciated!
Wow, what a fantastic video 👏🏻👏🏻 I have the 13 hero creator edition arriving tomorrow. So Far, i have grown my channel using just my phone, I really feel like the 13 will take my videos to another level 😁 im slightly nervous excited about getting started with it because I know it's going to take a while to get used to, but this video is absolutely brilliant and I'll be watching this back several times. Thank you so much mate, new sub, and also going to checkout the book 😊 best wishes to you, much love
Question: Do you have any videos that speak to memory cards? How many do I need? Do I need any extras if my videos record to the cloud? Which ones are the best? etc...
This is an AMAZING video! You don’t know how much I appreciate this! I will be buying your book and I have subscribed to your channel. I feel confident enough now to go out and use my go pro 13 black. 😊
Thank you! I REALLY appreciate your comment! It always feels good to hear such positive feedback after putting so much time and effort into helping you guys. Have a great day!
That was awesome man I just bought one a week ago. I was definitely surprised what option there are after you move the settings. TY I'm going exploring.
I just ordered a Hero 13 Black. It is supposed to arrive in 2 days. We shall see. This is the best of the v13 videos I found. Thanks! Bookmarked. The "book" is Kindle only. Here in France, the listing just says "not available for purchase" (in French, of course). On the U.S. website, it shows a price of $8.95 with a release date of 24 October 2024, with a pre-purchase option.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 That so strange that it's not available for preorder in France. Hopefully, when it goes live, the book will become available for you, as will the paperback edition. Enjoy your new camera- I'm sure you will like it 👍
Great video. I just bought the GoProHero Black 13 bundle with the handler. I used your video to set up the camera. Thanks! One thing though, when I downloaded a video file from the Cloud from Go Pro to my Windows laptop and PC, I needed to buy a CODEC from microsoft store to play the video. WTF?????
I'm looking to buy the Hero 13 Black to start a TH-cam while in a Semi. I'll be mainly having camera pointed to me while talking (Audio quality need to be good in a semi) but starting with some scenery, maybe pulling into a rest area and resetting on a park bench. At other times I may not be pulling off and just record in the truck the whole time. I'd like to support you here and am anxious to buy your book. But, either with or without, I was hoping you might share some quick setups for that use of the camera.
Great video, im just curious... can you mute the beeping sound that plays when you start recording etc?? I want to use the camera to catch moments from me deer hunting, but if the sound goes off it would be a big problem... thx :)
I tryed to open that microphone door before seeing this video but I guess one side of it broke, buts still in place. Is there anything I can do? Can I go underwater with it?
Can you make a video how to use gopro quik app on a simple way to edit and download to a youtube channel without all the other settings alot of people dont use ??
Great Vid Jordan! You explain everything so clearly. I would love a vid on nd filters, I sort of get it but not quite there if you see what I mean? Thanks again for your efforts 🙂
You are very welcome! Thank you! Yes, ND Filters are a bit confusing for most people. I have a few videos lined up, but I'll try to make a video for you soon.
Never had an action camera before, just bought the gopro 13. This was very helpful thank you. Is there a way to shut off the beep.beep, beep, when you turn it on. I want to video animals. But don't want to scare them off when I turn it on.
Would love your help with underwater video and photography settings but your book doesn’t come out til after my trip is over. Could you kindly share? Thank You 😊
Hi, I really wish my book was ready in time for your trip. So sorry. In the meantime, check out my underwater tips video. It's for the Hero 10, but a lot of it will still be relevant and should help improve your underwater videos. Have a great trip!
Some interesting information I didn't know. I do a lot of video from a handcycle for some cool prospectives. Makes for good 1st person views of marathons etc.
I’m a long time Sony Handycam user who would like to convert to the action camera world due to its sophistication and compactness. Should I consider the GoPro Hero 13 or the DJI Osmo Action 5? Your professional recommendations are highly appreciated. TIA
Hello so how can i start recording and then pause it and not instantly saving the video and then when i click again to start the video again. Or i cant do this it will aways save the video and then i have to put them together.
I was thinking to purchase your book, but the main concern is that does it have chapters about how to shoot for Social Media ?? Like Instagram reels? I want shoot all my videos on 9:16 ratio. So does it have content related to that ?
Hi, the book teaches you how to shoot creative videos with the best settings, whether you are shooting vertically or horizontal-framed videos. Great video content can really be shared on any social media, so you can definitely use the knowledge in the book to step up your game and post these videos to Reels. But I don't have much info in the book specifically about Reels. Hope that helps you decide!
Congrats! Be persistent and produce high quality videos. It can be discouraging at first if your videos don't get a lot of views, but as long as you love doing it, just keep going. Of course, get my book when it comes out because all of the knowledge in there will improve your videos greatly. Im not just trying to sell a copy of the book- I just have received lots of positive feedback about how much it helps. Best of luck to you in your journey 👍 You can do it!
Doesn’t it have to do something with the hz ? Like it should be on 60 in the states or North America.. 60hertz. That’s As far as I know. just find out what hertz are in ur area and set it to that but idk if u can do that with a GoPro camera. I haven’t even turned mine on yet..
If you were happy with the Hero 6, I would go with the Hero 13. I posted a comparison between the two on my channel if you want to see more though. Have fun adventuring!
@@JordanHetrick thanks for the reply, i have seen your comparison video between 2 of them, but I am confuse between the video quality. Please suggest which one provide more crisp and gr8 videos.
Much appreciated, mate. Thanks
Thank you so much!!!! That is very generous of you🙏
@@JordanHetrick No, thank you.
This video should be required v iewing for all GoPro beginners. It does an excellent job of getting you came up and running in no time. In fact, I'd go so far as to say GoPro should include it in the box with the camera!

Awesome to hear! I'm happy I was able to help you dive into another line of cameras!
I still wish someone would make some kind of a telephoto lens for GoPro.
I'm glad I found your channel. I just got a HERO 13. It's my first action camera. I already feel better about learning how to use it.
oh how I needed this! As another commenter suggested, this video should be included in the box with the camera. Excellent video for this GoPro beginner!

Just ordered the HERO 13. thank you for taking the time to explain the basics. Very thorough video. 👍👍🤙
Hey Jordan, glad I found you here... I just bought go pro 13 today... Thanks for the incredible tips... 😊
Had a Hero 5, upgraded to the 13 and watched your video. The setup between the two cameras is vastly different. So glad I found your video!
Just got my first GoPro and excited to get started. Your video is one I will probably come back to from time to time until I get comfortable with what I am doing

Brilliant stuff - thanks, Jordan. Have just purchased your book, too!
Awesome, thank you! Enjoy the book too!
Thanks Jordan! Great Info… Just bought a couple of the 13 creator editions. Can’t wait to start the adventure.
Jordan, great tutorial. Quick random question. What’s the brand of your hat? I’d like to order one.
Nice video. well organized and thought out. Thanks for the tutorial.
We just got our GoPro 13 from Santa. Great content. Found you on TH-cam. Makes it easy for someone who doesn't like reading instruction manuals! hahahaha!

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! Best of luck on your channel 👍
Your tutorial is tight! Thank you! As a diver, I like to have my camera on my wrist. Is there any way to use the camera without a stick?

Thank you! I REALLY appreciate your comment! It always feels good to hear such positive feedback after putting so much time and effort into helping you guys. Have a great day!
great presentation. thanks for all the info.
Amazing to watch your video. Only one thing that it doesn’t make sense is when you put the grip under the surfboard.
That was awesome man I just bought one a week ago. I was definitely surprised what option there are after you move the settings. TY I'm going exploring.
Wow that was one heck of a walk through!
I learned a lot.
Thank you! I'm glad I was able to help you out! Have fun with your new camera👍
Brilliant thanks Gordon from the UK, had mine a week and this VT helped so much, here's to ya Man ❤
Thank you Gordon! Cheers

Awesome, well detailed, and much needed. thank you so much
I have your book too...between your videos and your book....awesome!!!
THANK YOU!!! So much!
I tryed to open that microphone door before seeing this video but I guess one side of it broke, buts still in place.
Is there anything I can do? Can I go underwater with it?
Thank you. This is my first gopro
Nice! You are very welcome. My pleasure to help you out!
What a great in depth video ! Amazing..
Thank you! I really appreciate that! 👍
Can you make a video how to use gopro quik app on a simple way to edit and download to a youtube channel without all the other settings alot of people dont use ??

Thank you! I appreciate your positive words and hope to help lots of people!
Ty for your information..
How can we see on the video some information, speed, route, time, g-force ect..?
I got the EXACT one on Christmas
Great Vid Jordan! You explain everything so clearly. I would love a vid on nd filters, I sort of get it but not quite there if you see what I mean? Thanks again for your efforts 🙂
You are very welcome! Thank you! Yes, ND Filters are a bit confusing for most people. I have a few videos lined up, but I'll try to make a video for you soon.
Is a case necessary for using it in motocross? Im worried dirt and rocks will destroy mine
Never had an action camera before, just bought the gopro 13. This was very helpful thank you.
Is there a way to shut off the beep.beep, beep, when you turn it on. I want to video animals. But don't want to scare them off when I turn it on.
Yes swipe down for settings, on screen 2 the musical symbol, tap on it and you have high, medium and low volume plus no volume
Very very helpful. Good and detailed explanation 🔥
thank you for this detailed tutorial!
Okay, I’m unboxing mine right now and the batteries have little black plastic tabs in them. Should I pull them out?
I don’t think so for my GoPro it’s to pull the battery out of the camera
@ yeah I figured it out. Thanks :)
Very good video, you saved me tons of time
Jordan, I am back with a question for you. Do I have to have the app on the phone
Great Tutorial. Thank you so much.
Would love your help with underwater video and photography settings but your book doesn’t come out til after my trip is over. Could you kindly share? Thank You 😊
Hi, I really wish my book was ready in time for your trip. So sorry. In the meantime, check out my underwater tips video. It's for the Hero 10, but a lot of it will still be relevant and should help improve your underwater videos. Have a great trip!
@@JordanHetrick wonderful thank you so very much! Immensely appreciated thank you!
What do you use to edit your videos?
Do these setting guidelines apply to the GoPro 13 black creator edition ?
Yes, it's the same camera so you can use the same settings I provided. The Creator Edition just comes with extra accessories.
Some interesting information I didn't know.
I do a lot of video from a handcycle for some cool prospectives. Makes for good 1st person views of marathons etc.
Great to hear! Thanks for the comment!
I just brought mine yesterday
Very Useful, Thanks !
Great video as always but I’ve been looking for one about the hero 11 mini maybe could you do one?
Thank you. I wish I had one for the 11 mini for you. So sorry because it is kind of a confusing little camera.
Do you recommend only shooting in the 8:7 aspect so that you can later on change the digital lenses to whatever view you want? Is that best?
You can do that for the most flexibility, but most often, I prefer to record in 16:9 widescreen to minimize my editing workflow.👍
@JordanHetrick Awesome thanks! Do you have a favorite app for color grading?
What would you do as a parent who wants to film your son's soccer matches is the GoPro good option?
Phone would work better, unless you want your son to wear the camera
I’m a long time Sony Handycam user who would like to convert to the action camera world due to its sophistication and compactness. Should I consider the GoPro Hero 13 or the DJI Osmo Action 5? Your professional recommendations are highly appreciated. TIA

It's worth updating from hero 12 black or should i wait hero 14 black?
It really depends on how you will be using it. I made a comparison between the 12 and 13 that will help you decide if it's a good upgrade for you.
great review, thanks
very informative Thank you
My pleasure! You're very welcome.
Filming in shop under Led lights that are not flickering to the naked eye. Go pro 13 picks it up with these settings. Anyway to fix?
Doesn’t it have to do something with the hz ? Like it should be on 60 in the states or North America.. 60hertz. That’s As far as I know. just find out what hertz are in ur area and set it to that but idk if u can do that with a GoPro camera. I haven’t even turned mine on yet..
I have gopro 6 black, I used to shoot nature and road trips video more what would you recommend gopro 13 or dji action 5 pro?
If you were happy with the Hero 6, I would go with the Hero 13. I posted a comparison between the two on my channel if you want to see more though. Have fun adventuring!
@@JordanHetrick thanks for the reply, i have seen your comparison video between 2 of them, but I am confuse between the video quality. Please suggest which one provide more crisp and gr8 videos.
Thank you sir for much info. Got the hero 5 blk. What you recommend hero 13 blk or action 5pro ?
Well, the Action 5 Pro isn't released yet, but I'll be sure to post a comparison as soon as it is!
