The HERO 11 has GPS. It’s the 12 that does not. Idk if there was a typo or what but hopefully that helps clarify.

Unfortunately no. But you should be able to use any USB-C wall charger you have lying around. Or get a wall charger like this and never need another one again (amzn.to/3ABE9KN ).

Glad it was helpful! That sounds like a great setup!

Thanks! Yes, HLG is actually an HDR codec so it naturally records in an extended dynamic range whereas DLOG-M is an SDR codec that must be pushed to HDR through editing.

@ ok. Noted! Thanks

Literally copy and pasted from GoPro’s website (where it does say waterproof* twice but both times with an asterisk): “Macro Lens Mod is not intended for use under water” Now, while I guess something being waterproof* is better than not being waterproof* (and I do appreciate the hydrophobic coating), there is still the fact that putting the only *kinda* waterproof Macro Lens Mod on the at least IPX8 waterproof HERO 13 completely compromises the camera’s waterproof design. TL;DR - I can probably be a bit more tough than I have been with the MLM (it should survive use in the rain or maybe some snow activities), but it is in no ways “waterproof” in the sense way and average person would think and also less waterproof than most modern smartphones which are rated to 30min in up to 1m of water.

@ i did not tested it myself but i saw it in this video he filmed a lot underwater so i thought it was waterproof .. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpXNl5eAZ6mCqqMsi=9fl64Waa32AHun7j

Ahh ok. Thanks for the comment - I’ll have to check out that video and ask the creator about their experience with using it underwater and whether or not they knew it wasn’t technically waterproof.

Thanks! And yeah, that’s maybe the one thing I didn’t factor-in in my review: curiosity. I have a feeling a lot of GoPro 13 buyers will get one (or a couple) of the new HB-Series lenses - macro, ultrawide & anamorphic - simply out of curiosity. And there’s nothing really wrong with that, cause ultimately there’s far more expensive things out there to spend money on out of curiosity.

Totally agree (and would have in an ideal world) but my original Zoom F2 mic is in a storage unit in Colorado currently so unfortunately that wasn’t possible. I also was more interested in just testing out the recorders themselves cause I truly was just making that original video as a test for myself to see if I could replace the F2 with the Mic 2.

@@DigitalTechReviewsTips So, what's your conclusion after almost one year? And, do you think is it worth to change included mic from ZoomF2 to something like you have? I have F2, but not used much, but seen there are many not nice reviews here and there.

One man’s toy is another man’s tool. To each their own. I can’t please everyone unfortunately. Sorry it struck such a negative chord with you.

Yup! Works just like I had bought the two mic combo. Honestly, at this point I can’t even remember which of the two mic/RX units came with which.

Yes totally! You want to swipe over to the “Timelapse” modes (the GoPro has 3 main modes: Timelapse, Video & Photo), then select “Night Lapse”. It sounds like you keep selecting “Star Trails” mode instead of Night Lapse.

Unfortunately I haven’t really had a chance to try out the Hover Air X1 Pro/Pro Max other than the quick flights I did at the launch event. The company has basically ghosted me since then which is a pretty clear indication that they are not too confident in their product currently and want to limit it being in the hands of reviewers. I’ll try reaching back out again to see if I can get them to send me one but otherwise I’d hold off.

Thanks! Glad it was informative for you! I hope you're talking about using the Motion Controller (and not the FPV/Gaming style controller) with the Mini4 Pro cause currently the M4P only works with the RC2 controller (with no goggles) or motion controller with goggles.

No sorry sold it last year.

Thank you so much for your comment! It’s great to hear someone with actual qualifications back up my theory (albeit using the proper terminology) about the Avata 2 performing more poorly in the wind. And yeah, they’re both great in their own way - glad you got the opportunity to own both and figure out which works best for each situation you need.

Ok, so one, good eye. The black round disk shape thing on the floor inside is my lens cap. I put if and a case of Osmo Pocket 3 lens filters on the ground cause they were heavy objects that wouldn’t blow away and could help the Air 3S be more stable indoors by providing some tracking points for the downward sensors on what otherwise was a very white and non contrasty floor. As for why the drone was losing satellite connection: I’m assuming you’re talking about when it comes back and is hovering in the balcony area trying to go through the door? That’s most likely cause it’s near a massive building (and partially under part of it as there is actually ceiling above it) and that’s blocking most of its view of the sky - and thus connection to the satellites required for GPS lock.

​@@DigitalTechReviewsTips I am new to vlogging,can just a Action 5 pro with osmo mobile SE gimbal match a pocket 3 to some extent, would the footage be manageably edited with iPhone 13? 🎉You did a brave work with Air3S, kudos!​

I 100% agree with you. I tried to point out my bias towards camera drones too so that people could be aware of it but appreciate you adding in your perspective here in the comments as someone who seems to have more experience and knowledge of the FPV world of drones. The only thing I would suggest is that most people who are deciding between the Avata 2 and Mini 4 Pro aren’t really necessarily looking to get into FPV. From talking to people who bought or owned the Avata 2, they mostly liked the “more immersive view of the goggles” (something I fundamentally disagree with but that’s a different story) and the motion controller. I agree that if I were to compare the Mini 4 Pro to the Avata 2 on the grounds of someone trying to fly full manual acro who had been an FPV pilot for 10 years - yeah the M4P isn’t even in the same league. To that same end though, any professional cinematographer would laugh at the Avata 2 being used as a camera drone. Ultimately I appreciate your comment with constructive criticism and feedback. When making these videos it’s basically inherent that I won’t be able to please everyone’s POV so I’m always grateful when those who don’t agree with me don’t just thumbs down and click away but take the time to eloquently explain their disagreement.

The GPS shouldn’t need WiFi to work. Just needs a wide open area with a clear view of the sky.

I did that to fly out manually but I don’t think the drone will do an RTH with the sensors off (or even if it will that’s just asking for trouble as it’s basically having the drone fly blind).
