Yuck ! So many terrible shots in a row! 😊 beautiful vid!

[@ChrisRogers]

It had to be done 💁🏼‍♂️😅

[@Robertsson]

Hahahahahahahaha this was super fun to watch!

[@StanShimkus]

@@ChrisRogers Thank you for showcasing just how great this camera is ...

[@NateRisch]

He got me there for a minute... 😂

[@tobetus]

Great vid!!

[@solidostudio]

Chris I think I speak for the entire community that follows you, you have to create an entire GoPro course, from when you record to how you edit and export

[@ChrisRogers]

Wish I had done that 4 years 😅 but i would still love to do it!

[@AdventuresofCalChando]

I was raging at the screen then I realized what you were doing!! 😂😂. I was like, that footage is amazing and my GoPro 12 is the best action cam on the planet!!

[@sekathor]

Haha! My thoughts exactly. I hesitated for a long time, but after watching this video, I immediately ordered Hero12.

[@neilfpv]

Great video! Do you stabilize in the camera or post stabilize the recorded video?

[@ChrisRogers]

all stabilization is in the camera with hypersmooth. occasionally I will use GoPro Studio Reelsteady if hypersmooth wasn't enough but that's maybe 2% of the time.

[@365capetown]

Great video Chris! I love this helpful video, now I know which to buy👍

[@ChrisRogers]

Ah cheers Martin!

[@Squidpaws-]

Always such sick video's brah! 🤙

[@ChrisRogers]

appreciate the support my guy!

[@AndreiPOV]

I just discovered you! U deserve a big subscribe! May I ask if the windslayer will improve the audio quality? Do you have any experience with this?

[@ChrisRogers]

Welcome to the club legend! 🙌 It helps a little bit honestly getting a 3rd party dead cat or separate mic is better! I use the dji Lapel mic for all vlog scenes and it’s insanely good! I also talk about all audio options in my GoPro 12 and 11 review, so go back and check those too 👌

[@AndreiPOV]

​@@ChrisRogers thank you very much for your reply, well the thing is that I would love to start a travel vlog channel, and with GoPro I will be much more confident in front of the camera cuz is smaller than regular video cameras (already have 11) and adding the external mic will give me the feeling that someone is listening to me and also is a little bit out of budget for the beginning, but thank you a lot again, I will take in consideration a separate mic in the future. Regarding the videos I was looking for specific one "GoPro 11/12 audio test" on your channel, I will take a look over the review. If I'm not bothering you too much, this video was recorded in 8x7, right? Is it good for a travel vlog to crop it after that in the yt ratio? Also, I would like to use those videos over ig or tiktok. ♥ I know I require a lot, but I fell like a baby in a new world. Thank you for what are you doing! 🎊🎉

[@ProfG131]

chrisrogers what was the 2 camera slowmo setup? Recording at full frame and high FPS presumably?

[@ChrisRogers]

yeah had the one filming 2.7k 240fps and the other filming 4k 8:7 60fps for better quality and greater FOV

[@brysonsales]

Bro you have to talk about how you got those music festival shots to look so good!

[@ChrisRogers]

All about your settings! 5.3k |8:7 | 30fps | min iso-100 | Max iso-400| sharpness low. Bit-rate high! WB-auto

[@brysonsales]

@@ChrisRogers are you setting SS or turning off the IS?

[@vorstervz]

Love it bro!

[@RhettandClaire]

No man the GoPro is absolutely horrendous! Take our money!😂

[@filippoparelli]

I've read the title and i think wtf?? But know i realize you're simply a genious!!

[@andyelliott1866]

But how is a side by side comparison with the other action cameras...I'm shopping for one

[@Mike_Oscar]

How did you have no grain/noise in lowlight/night

[@paulryan1559]

Chris - Great vid and a spot on perspective. I jumped in with the Hero Session 5 - it has always been very reliable. Would love to see Gopro come out with a newer version of the session....Currently enjoying my Hero 10 . Feature advances are great and better with each version released.. Both solid action cameras and have worked almost flawlessly.

[@northman6808]

Awesome awesome though.watching from kenya as always.nice content

[@ChrisRogers]

thanks my man! Always welcome down in Cape Town

[@JordanOutside]

Ha ha, you got me on this one. Amazing footage 🔥

[@FUJILA]

What do you think about the DJI Action ?

[@ChrisRogers]

Have heard good things but I want the better slowmotion and stabilisation that the GoPro does. I will probably do a comparison when new cameras come out at the end of the year

[@Dragon.x29]

1:36 music festival shots are craaaaaaazy 🔥

[@ChrisRogers]

Let's go! it was WILD! haha

[@lucasobara]

@@ChrisRogers how you do that?

[@moejas]

@@ChrisRogers please a video about how you didi it?

[@christofeemedia1790]

Ooooohh that's how he does the timelapses! Thanks for clarifying that my guy! Love your vids as always👌

[@simong7454]

Hi, do you use any filters when snorkeling? So pretty colors. Thanks

[@ChrisRogers]

I don't but I designed special Underwater LUTs for all my GoPro Footage! Check it out here :) chrisrogersblog.com/luts

[@DrivingPhilippines]

Reason #6 - GoPro Labs. It lets you do too many things like overlays, motion detection, dashcam, scripting, eclipse captures. DO. NOT. BUY. GOPRO.

[@WillStrathmann]

Most underrated feature of GoPros hands down.

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Thanks bro. I’ll definitely buy the Insta360 X4 now.

[@HorizonIntent]

Does all your shots use gopro on this video?

[@KlausMair]

exactly 😁👍 you forgot to review the overheating problem though, which is a huge factor for an action camera. Having said this I am happy they solved the problems at cold temperatures though, which made the 11 pretty much unusable below -10 degrees. Not that any review ever mentioned that as they all focused on the overheating issue,...

[@DavidVanZylUTube]

Love to see it!

[@StanShimkus]

The Hero 12 and Chris ... Two GOATs! Thanks for another wonderful vid ...👍👍

[@C3BFA]

Love it 😂😂😂😂 I need a new gopro I'm still on the gopro8s time for an upgrade I think and it has to be the 12. Also subbed 😉

[@JovaniGarcia]

how is your footage not jittery?

[@martijnveenman]

Incredible footage!

[@ChrisRogers]

thank you!!

[@DawserJeridi]

should i wait for the gopro hero 13 coming in september or get this one

[@ChrisRogers]

I think it depends if you already own a GoPro. Like if you own anything older than a HERO10 you should consider upgrading but if you think you can wait it out till end of the year then do that. Could always buy the 12 now and sell it when the new camera comes out 🤷‍♂️😅

[@antonionassar]

Hey Chris, could you do a "What's inside my backpack" video? Love your work man!

[@ChrisRogers]

Great idea! Will try get round to it in a future video!

[@antonionassar]

@@ChrisRogers Thanks!

[@Kesslerlite]

Can you make a video about settings?

[@ChrisRogers]

will try add more of those details in future videos :)

[@Dakotawestofficial]

NEED a full GoPro course/video on settings, export, etc…just a full in depth GoPro content creation tutorial. I have been using cameras for years and just cannot figure the GoPro out 😂

[@ayejayyp]

Can you do a review on your gear bag.??

[@ChrisRogers]

will add that to an upcoming video later this year :)

What about insta 360?

[@lewishyd]

Crack up 😂 using mine Portugal this week yewww

[@Skinston]

Man the moment I started to search for what equipment I should get for my first gopro all I see is a ton if hate. So I clicked on your video. Damn glad I did since I'm already stoked with my new purchase and glad I'm getting into it this late in the game where soo many advancements have been made! Cheers brother!

[@marc70.3]

That was AWESOME! GoPro rocks. I still grab the H12 for any & all action scenes. Just doesn’t get any love online. Until now. Thank you, Chris!

[@FOOTBALL_CPT]

Sick vid! Hoping the 13 fixes low light issues though

[@ChrisRogers]

I don’t believe action cameras will ever be made for low light until there is some crazy revolution in technology 😅

[@FOOTBALL_CPT]

@@ChrisRogers true true. It's a pity man. I film football and it's mostly low light games. Would a censor upgrade knock the batteries down for the companies?

[@ChrisRogers]

@@FOOTBALL_CPT so when I spoke to an image engineer the way he explained it was the focal point will move further away with something like a 1-inch sensor, which means a selfie at arms length wouldn’t be in focus which is not a good thing for action cams. That seems to be the main issue

[@FOOTBALL_CPT]

@@ChrisRogers that's interesting. Always keen to see how the new cams will look. Thanks for the replies and keep up the super dope work

[@BenjaminOrtega]

Hahaha you got me brother 😂🤝🏻

[@fastezzz]

1:38 awesome dynamic range

[@RH_01779]

Why GoPro gets so much hate? I’m looking to get my first action camera and 90% of KZbin reviews either recommend DJI or insta360 ?

[@hanifhaja6275]

Image on go pro is not bad actually but the quik app is the go pro downfall not all region is supported

I almost sold my Hero 12 before I realized it was satire, LOL. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@Delvlogs7]

Entendi muito bem o sarcasmo 😂 Um dia ainda terei uma Gopro. Belo vídeo!!!

[@TacoBel]

Please a tutorial or at least chart or something for your low light settings. I for sure do not want to replicate them on the aweful horrible waste of money camera I have. I personally like it when my camera is not durable as well.

[@ad_Benturing]

FACTS 🔥🔥

[@babibrain]

I have a GoPro 7 and it is awesome until now as long as you are not demanding.

[@raycoxphoto]

Boss Chris!

[@plasdu]

one of the best videos ive seen on youtube!!

[@thepit82]

Great vd, but I don't belive you recorded night scenes by Gopro. You can setup a lot of settings but its not possible with this kind of sensor. I know, we can setup the ISO, shutter + gimbal, can you show it? Proof it? ;) I love Gopro but night scenes are the Achilles heel in this camera.. I think, please let us know how to make scenes like you have made, thx :) As always, you have made fantastic video with joke :) I've scared, wow Chris don't like GP?

[@ChrisRogers]

I mean I could send you raw footage🤷‍♂️😂 but also no big music festival let’s you take in big cameras anyway unless you’re actually working there... All those scenes were shot in 5.3k 8:7 ratio 30fps and iso max set to 400.

[@sqryn]

Almost everyone is saying it sucks in low light but those music festival shots were awsome! You are as always an inspiration to all the small youtubers. Well done, thanks!

[@ChrisRogers]

Cheers legend! 🙌 yeah I mean if you compare any action camera to like a full frame Sony a7 camera, then they all suck in low light 😂 but that’s like comparing a submarine to a Formula One car… they’re not supposed to be compared lol

[@travish3130]

Oh man. I almost bought one. Glad I saw this first. Sticking with my iPhone 4 and duct tape.

[@Outloud444]

Funny - I love my GoPro 12 with the Max Len 2.0 superview - it is my #1 camera

[@firana83]

Dopiero teraz o tym mówisz jak już zmieniłem w listopadzie z 10 na 12?! 😉

@@algersonvincent Im a GoPro Hero fan and i wait for Chris Rogers to post his new sick vids! Haha just thought it was funny! Ill admit he punk’d me on this one

[@algersonvincent]

got emmmmm lol. yea his videos are pretty dope. eventho i'm done buying gopros and looking for the insta360 x4 i'll always come back and admire his work @@FernandoCandelario

[@Robertsson]

@@FernandoCandelario I myself can say the same thing: I am GoPro head too & the reason why I am subscribed to Chris Rogers’ channel. “Traveling the world for 2 Years!” My all time favourite vid of his. And that was shot mainly on the GoPro Hero 9, Black but also MAX and Hero 8 Black.

[@leoncaputolan]

Haha ...good one, I will stick to my action 4 then it is as bad, at least it is a good pairing with its flying brother the mini 3 pro and the sister osmo pocket 3...perfect siblings 😅😅

[@Suiterags]

Reason 6 - the price. I hate how they are so affordable and less than a weeks wage.

[@1nfamousme210]

This video is top notch

[@PfropfNo1]

well, the gopro can do very little things, that an insta360 x4 cant. In contrast, the insta360 can do plenty of things the goPro cant. Even a sturdy smartphone case can basically replace the goPro nowadays in many situations, which is probably why sales hit rock bottom.

[@bertsikleta]

One of the beAst! 🔥

[@nickkratzer2474]

[@ph4b]

haha, love it! :-)

[@oliverlein7961]

Great video. I also like my Hero12. But I want a 360 camera and now waiting for nearly 5 years for the Max2. Insta seems far ahead of Gopro. I don't like how Insta 360 is doing with customers and I would love to buy a Max2. But if this summer there es still no Max2 available I will have no other opportunity as going to Insta 360. So Gopro: please deliver us the Max2 in May or June.

[@exclusiveaerials]

You're sponsored by GoPro right? Would you consider doing an honest side-by-side review and comparison between the GoPro 12 vs the Insta360 Ace Pro? Especially with the low light capabilities. Will be interesting to see if you even reply to this 🤔

[@ChrisRogers]

So I feel like there are enough videos on this, Luke Bell probably made the best comparison. but I would like to do it this year if they both release newer cameras

[@maviahanson6371]

Honestly, I'm just not sold either. I see why you hate it. *Purchased* lol thanks for the review.

Absolutely LOVE this Chris!!! Not a truer word said. Too many fanboi's jumping on the band wagon for other cameras. GoPro have been at the forefront for a long time for a reason!!!

[@petercrombie6652]

Ha ha Chris... Seriously though, there are so many reasons to NOT actually buy the GoPro. Just picking on two things (and probably the most important), they still crash, freeze etc... and battery life. Are they better than the competition? No. Compared to the other great options out there, they just don't hack it any more - which is why all my GoPros recently got smashed with a hammer and thrown in the bin. They are so bad, I would not sell them to some unsuspecting individual.

[@saf1999]
