GoPro Hero 7 Black Tips and Tricks

[@Terpinado]

This is one of the best GoPro videos I've seen - all useful, all to the point, and no distracting anything. Thank you for your clarity!

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@DoubleDRescueSled]

Just bought my GPH7B and can’t wait to use it. I lost my GoPro4 in heavy surf during a race in 2012 and I’ve finally pulled the trigger on a new one. Your tips are great and I want to thank you for speeding up my learning curve...👍 Thanks

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much I’m glad you found it helpful

[@matthewmarch8707]

Just got the Hero 7 Black in 2021. I know absolutely nothing about it. I am definitely an old dog learning new tricks. You have the best videos for someone like me. Thank you. Subscribed

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much I’m glad you enjoyed. And welcome aboard

[@formfaktor]

still helpful 4 years later! thanks!

[@tommylodhia7480]

although i can't open the lens cause it's quite hard and hurts my fingers too much so decided to quit, but his tips does help me a lot a make me recognized that there is mode 16:9 to change your quality image into 720 and 1080, and also 4K with 60 fps. Nice job :))) and really appreciate what you did to the Gopro 7 users. Have a nice day everybody :))

[@turbopilot]

Thanks for the video. A couple of comments. I have been flying two GoPro 7 Black's since the introduction. My use case typically involves long duration recording, 4k@60FPS with the cameras powered externally with an audio adapter. Cameras sit on the front of the wing in 100 mph breeze so no problem with overheating. I have had stability problems in the Record mode on external power supplies (battery or 5 volt power supplies). Typically cameras would crash in the first 20 seconds after hitting record mode. This happened with a wide variety of USB-C cables, external battery (Anker) and dedicated 12 volt to 5 volt power supplies. Once I reduced power demands of the camera by turning off wireless connections and GPS camera operation in the record mode has been much more stable with a variety of external power sources. In the last few weeks I have been flying the cameras with the GoPro Battery Power Pack and used only GoPro USB-C cables. So far cameras have been completely stable flying with only GoPro Accessories.

[@streamfishingguy7476]

Thank you soooo much! I am new to GoPro cameras and the Hero 7 Black is my first. I picked it up about 2 months ago. I love it and I'm always looking for new ways to use it and to conserve battery life.

[@mixflip]

That was xspecially helpful bro! I can't wait to get the 7.

Just bought mine today.

@@aqueductangler3240 same 😁

[@xhastinmarko4107]

Koastal Shell how does that look tell us smth about battery

[@fireinthewhole]

I see what you did there. 🤣

[@chrissieoppedisano3659]

Thank you so much! Every time I got underwater my go pro's orientation kept changing. No fun to shoot upside down fish! I looked everywhere and couldn't find how to fix it until I came across your video today. THANK YOU! You also helped walk me through getting it set up when I bought it. I really appreciate your help!!! I'll be watching more of your videos!

[@jaeruskris]

I found that my GoPro hero 7 black freezes up while I'm out surfing, so pulling the battery out isn't an option, so my tip is "if you hold the mode button down for 10 seconds it'll restart your camera"

[@BookYourImagination]

This is a great tip! I've found my GoPro will also sometimes just freeze up. I've always had to stop whatever I was doing, take it out of the case, then pulled the battery out -- such a waste of time! I will definitely hold the node button down next time!

[@nikocsi]

format memory card from camera, that wokrs for my freezing problem. never freeze again

[@exploringrvdude7817]

Yep, same here. I was doing a time warp the other day and it just froze, had to pull the battery out.

[@nikocsi]

@@exploringrvdude7817 try formatting memory card!

[@HarshMehta1]

Same here. Can’t really understand why GoPro Freezes ! The company also doesn’t have any answers.

[@bernhardstrama8827]

It was a really good explanation for a beginner like me it was great I could understand more about the GoPro 7 now

[@siljasjodin]

I'm going to use my first GoPro ever for long nature walks in bad weather, like snow, rain, stormy days and also when walking a very energetic dog which does not shy away from any weather conditions - everything goes! 🐾🐶🐾 I'm going to shoot both daytime as well as when it's dark. So I came across GoPro7 Hero black and I think this one is perfect. Just need som time to find the best settings for my purposes. I think your GoPro7 video is very helpful to get familiar with it.

[@mrb0570]

Just bought it, first go pro ever and cannot complain !

[@Tina-sx5lf]

Great video! I just bought a gopro and all these tips are amazing! Especially the removable door one so you can charge your go pro as you film!

[@AirPhotography]

Great I’m glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching

[@me2133]

Thanks for making this video and continue to make helpful videos because now when I get a GoPro if I get one I know what to do with it!

[@leochen887]

I really like your videos on GoPro hero7, they are well presented. But what I find helpful is to play them at .75 speed. It doesn't adversely affect the voice quality but it slows it down so I can absorb the info better. That and repetition. Thanks for doing your videos.

[@keithmontreuil6726]

This is fantastic. I recently was given direction to create content for the school board's virtual school during the pandemic. Instructional videos like this definitely help complete beginners like me. Wish me luck making immersion videos in Ojibwe. Thanks!

[@anneka3137]

This is a really helpful video! I just got a GoPro hero 7 black and these tips are great to know before I go out an film. Thanks!

[@isanBen]

Was looking for a camera start making videos, seeing a bunch of different camera reviews, I sat down, watched this and decided to go for the hero 7, cheap and plenty of options for my level of "vlogging" thank you sir

[@AirPhotography]

Awesome, thank you!

[@bamblebamble]

This video is eXXpecially good!

[@mikestone9129]

Great video as always. I just ordered the 7 Black, my first gopro. Thanks for the tips, I'll be back to watch it again as soon as my 7 gets here.

[@yeshoney3656]

thank you so much! extremally useful tips. thank you

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Thank you for this video. I just purchased my go pro hero 7 black today and I am new to the go pro world. As new as you can get. I found this video to be very helpful. I will be using my new camera for my you tube channel. Thank you.

[@ShinilPayamal]

Thanks for some real handy tips. The GoPro Hero 7 Black is my first GoPro.

[@DangarMarine]

Fantastic video, thanks so much!

[@EM-is9ti]

Just got a GoPro and I am having so much fun playing with it. This video helped me a lot in understanding what it's capable of doing. thank you.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@maldridge7630]

Excellent video! Superb style indeed! Very much to the point. You speak fast, do not repeat, and say the important things. Felt very comfortable watching and absorbing the info. Thank you! Subscribed and Liked!!

[@mumbaistriker3790]

I bought new GoPro 7black and this video helped a lot as a new user. Thankyou

[@yourbarista4154]

Well done! Little to no fluff and I appreciate that.

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Just picked up a used Hero 7 black. Thanks for the instructions.

[@leadinglife534]

i appreciate the clarity :) your voice is very easy to follow with!

[@johughes4200]

Ok stupid question...I’m going to put my Gp7 on a dog to record a wedding . I’ve got the harness etc but have no idea what settings to use. Do I just hit record and hope for the best ? I’m just trying it out ...defo not professional but would like to give it to happy couple.

[@wandergdiaries]

Just got my hero 7 today and here I am watching your video :)

[@jeffellis6544]

I’ve got one coming tomorrow. I’ve used a 5 a little, bit this vid is REALLY helpful to get me rolling on the new one. Excellent! Can we adjust the WB manually? For shooting indoors. I shoot in schools and industrial situations. Light can be funky...

[@toyarj37]

I have been using go pros since the second generation. This is the best one ever. These tips were great

[@muja28]

After seeing your reviews and tips i went out and got A GOPRO 7 BLACK and so far very pleased with it and your channel thank you

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey! I really enjoyed this, thank you! The tips for saving battery was ace. Do you know if there is auto record on the Go Pro Her0 7 Black? as in, press the record button when it is off and it starts recording? I cannot fund that function. I have it with my Hero 4 and 6 and really enjoy the feature for footage that needs capturing fast.

[@robsadler5605]

I belive you're thinking of the red Quick Capture / Shutter button on the top of the camera. At 7:34 Shawn actually disables QC to conserve battery life but obviously this is optional. I believe in Shawn's beginner video he demonstrates if the GoPro is off and you press the Quick Capture / Shutter button the camera will turn on and start recording using the previous sessions settings. I've read the better way to record would be to power the camera on with the side Mode / Power Button then begin recording. In a pinch though, just press the Quick Capture / Shutter button on the top and begin recording. -Rob

[@alexandradominique9699]

Hi thanks again for the very instructive video. While scrubbing the video, the camera froze. Impossible to shut it off and it didn’t power off after 5 min. Only by connecting with the iPhone I was able to take control of the camera!!! Any tips? Thanks .

[@refeez3700]

Lovely video! An actually useful set of advice, no self-promoting or anything! Just the way I like it! Thank you!

[@MikhailLambuson]

Thanks for the great insights, really useful!!! I use my GoPro 7 black for MTB and was wondering if you can recommend a video software that can capture the GPS data from the Gopro. Reason for asking is I want to make use of the GPS data to show the speed and G force to be part of the video. Quick, the software from GoPro can only take max 1 min video and does not have friendly editing elements. Thanks!

[@madjonny5051]

Really great Video!!!!! Thank you for your tips and tricks! They helped me a lot. I also own a hero 7 black

[@robertdavies9152]

Excellent, thanks. I can never understand why people put a thumbs down for good tutorials like this. Perhaps they are hormonal, or just plain stupid.

[@sreeram458]

Please do a video on accessories of Hero7 black.. When to use which accessories. How to use it underwater.. what kind of protection required for the front and back screens for optimum safety and usage of the go pro..

[@sean9820]

This is the definition of a well made youtube video. Thank you!! Expecially appreciated!

[@LA3198]

Thank you for a great educational video. I don't have a GoPro Hero7 black yet, but I am about to order one and I will be using your links.

[@MichaelTchao]

Thanks for sharing this video. I just got my first GoPro not too long ago, and many of these tricks would have been good to know before I started using it! great job

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you 👍

[@adamshuttleworth9161]

Very useful video. I'm planning on using mine for snorkeling and scuba so will be using it with the water proof housing. I was wondering if there was a way to stop the screen of turning off during filming. I have tried changing the screen saver setting to never but still turns off after 1 minute. Gets a bit annoying as I don't know if I'm actually recording what I want to. Figures crossed you have a sollution

[@kennywilson7413]

Great info that is well presented. It has made my switch from a battered old set of Contour cameras to Gopro a lot easier. Thanks and keep them coming.

[@travlon5101]

I've gone through u tube vid's a lot, but no one has the info you gave in this one... Thanks so much for the tips and help.

[@polishpicl]

Ordered my hero7,,and it's coming tomorrow...this really set me up and I can go back to it to use for my training too thank you!!!

[@ravenrodriguez7818]

Thanks for this video!!! Your tip on the manually adjusting the ISO manually to remove flickering on a time lapse helped me a lot!

[@AirPhotography]

That’s great I’m glad it helped

[@Chooibah]

@@AirPhotography I'm guessing this means it changes the shutter speed to compensate? So if there's a fast motion it'll be blurred? Wondering if locking the ISO to a higher value e.g. 800 would allow it to perform better at lower light levels and give less blur? I don't have one (yet) so it's not something I can test.

[@oleg296]

just bought one and 3 bateries with triple charger I ain running out!

[@ladytradiej8027]

That was really helpful. Thanks so much. I'm using mine on my motorbike, any tips for settings on a motorbike would be greatly appreciated.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@josephhiggins7871]

I just got my new 7 black today and found your videos extremely helpful thank you for the information you have shared have subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching your future videos. Joe from Ireland.

[@fidsta30]

Thank you for the great tips and advice - any idea why the zoom button on touch screen isn’t allowing me to use it ? It is there but not highlighted to use? Many thanks from UK

[@TaylorPhase]

What’s a better battery saver, turning brightness all the way down and control the settings with a wireless connection like your phone, or keeping brightness up and turning off wireless?

[@ahmedmehmood7872]

Just bought my GoPro Hero 7 black version, you video helps a lot. Thanks 🙏.

[@Harleyrider_uk]

Hi, great videos, I’m very new to GoPros, I want to get 1 to use and vlog on my motorcycle, would the hero black 7 be good for this or could the 4,5, or 6 do the same job? Are the differences in GoPros going to be big differences on the bike?🤷‍♂️, Thanks 👍🏻

[@monicad9713]

Hai....nice vedio.. iam planning to get go pro hero 7 black to shoot my cooking vedios ..could you please tell whether this cam can be used for overhead shooting and side angles..

[@christopherstevenson9737]

Thanks. Nice tips. Would NEVER have figured out to look under “Regional” option for GPS settings! What goofball software designer makes these decisions?

[@timboh8776]

So good! I find these videos really help my GoPro edits. Getting right in camera is a massive part of it hey.

[@AirPhotography]

That’s great I’m glad you found them helpful

[@timboh8776]

Air Photography cheers! Check out my Virgin Islands GoPro video I posted. Love some feedback!

[@gnarlybark]

Nicely edited with good sound, what camera did you use to make the video and how is it mounted, if I may ask?

[@totechess]

Great tips!!! I have this camera and I have never been able to do a zoom in in video mode. Is it possible? and if it is, how?

[@zachattack40130]

Thank you sooo mutch man😉 your video really helped me, there was stuff that I didn’t even know it could do. But now I do so thanks. 🙌🏼👌🏼

[@GringoFilipino]

Just got mine and ready to go this week with storms and sunsets. Great tips and tricks..

[@njrivetelite]

Im a new user.. this helped a lot. Thank You.. just ordered one will be here fri

[@michaeltowler2632]

I have just bought the white 7 $199 and accidentally recorded in portrait mode on a chesty mount. What I think I did was tip the Camera as I pressed record to see if the light was blinking and apparently the Camera will lock the video orientation as it starts to record . the reason I looked is that I couldn't hear the beeps while wearing my downhill Helmet. Thanks for the tips as I will be buying a 7 black as soon as the price goes down a bit more

[@kennymichaud5366]

Thanks for the tips! I’m trying to watch my videos from my GoPro 7 black to my 4K tv..... I have an Insignia Micro HDMI to HDMI adaptor connecting the 2. The problem I’m having is that the GoPro is being used as a monitor and I have no touch screen controls on the camera to play it. The screen is black. Is it the adapter? Or am I doing something wrong, any help would be great!

[@yoyemama]

I just got a new Hero 7 Black and this information was very helpful,thanks.

[@jsr8884]

Hello, very nice set of instructions. I am new here. My GoPro videos are very heavy in size. I use lowest quality and 24fps. Just few mins of video are in GBs. Please advice.

[@LevitatorMusic]

just got my 7 black today and this was expescially informative!

[@brookearent2822]

Hi. I love your channel. I was researching which series was better, the 7 or 8. It seems the 7 is better than the 8 series since you can't take the lens off. Which would you recommend?

[@adrianpoe4416]

Quick question. Avid diver. IF I remove the lens cover to fit inside the superset is the actual 7 unit still waterproof? As in if the superset leaks will there still be the secondary waterproof as the unit itself OR is that seal in the lens cover? I cant seem to get a real answer on this and I dive 100ft regularly and have had cases leak. Its nice to know if it leaks it wont ruin the gopro. Thanks!

[@AirPhotography]

From what I have read the camera is still waterproof even with the protective cover removed

[@adrianpoe4416]

Air Photography thank you.

[@flyboyfs]

Hi, cool video, can you help? my opro does not catch gps? i turn it on but dont catch antena. any idea why is this hapaning ? must it chage 4k to 2.5k or less? i just updated it.thanks for the tips.

[@paololeo9209]

Great video! As far as you know, is there an Action Can that allows you to view directly the video on PC (in native resolution) while shooting live? I would need FHD with at least 60 fps (120 would be great). Thank you!

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

To waterproof your gopro while connected to power bank, stick a moldable swimmers ear plug. works great. I used this when I did my overnight Milkway timelapse. ( tutorial on my channel)

[@shutterjunkey]

Patrick Guerrisi I’d like to learn more about that!

[@siddsm666]

I'd be keen to know more about this as well. Planning to keep the GoPro connected to my motorbike's power slot.

[@Martinbeef]

Silicon earplugs would work well..very easy to mould to shape, and waterproof.

[@arruec0214]

Thank you so much. Very informative especially for a new go pro user like me. Like the battery saving tips and camera tricks🔋📸👌

[@imagesinla8575]

Very helpful. I'm having loads of fun making videos while riding my BMX bike now . . . thanks.

[@bu3zeezalkhazraji199]

Need your help, first I would like to tHank you for all wonderful clips and videos you are sharing with us. I recently bought my first hero 7 black and I followed exactly your beginners setting. Today was my 3rd use however I noticed that the camera become overheated very quickly while downloading the videos to go pro app. A sign of a wrench came into small screen near the lens. I finished the downloading and then switch it off. Could you please explain this issue and is it normal and what to do. Really appreciate if you can reply to my concerns.

[@av8tor765]

I'm using my Hero 7 to video in car. It is attached to the roller on my race car shooting thru the windshield the problem is the focus point is the interior of the car not the exterior track. Would using the spot light feature solve this problem and can you recommend appropriate video settings for this application. Thank You Steve L

[@georgeyellich5073]

in the portion on video a screen showing media was shown for playback but I just bought the camera and i did not understand how to get to that screen also for a new person using the camera each time you go to a new situation you should explain how to get back to that screen
