GoPro HERO 11 BLACK Beginner's Tutorial: How To Get Started

[@Ram.Saketh]

Your video is the go-to resource right after getting my GoPro - for everything from unboxing to making the first recording! Thanks for making it so easy to follow!

[@JordanHetrick]

THANK YOU! You are my very FIRST Super Thanks! I REALLY appreciate your generosity!

[@Ram.Saketh]

@@JordanHetrickGlad to know that I'm the First :-) ! I owe another Super Thanks to you - without your video, I wouldn't already be up and running! Here's another Super Thanks to say thanks for all the effort you put into making your instructional videos. It's what GoPro (the company) themselves should be doing to help their customers!

[@JordanHetrick]

Thank you so much for your kind message! I just saw this for some reason, but it really made me feel happy!👏

Great insights, Jordan! Thank you for giving beginners an in-depth look into HERO11 Black! 🙌

Hi GoPro, can i use hero 9/10 case or accesories on hero 11? are they on the same size?

[@JordanHetrick]

@@Nonsensehehe Hi Noxus, Yes, the Hero 11 is exactly the same body as the 9 and 10, so all of the accessories are compatible. 👍👏

[@Nonsensehehe]

@@JordanHetrick thanks mate!! Appreciate it

[@davidjfp]

My GP11 arrived today… my first GoPro.. I decided on this camera to record what I see snorkelling on Norfolk Island so I can share what I actually see with my family. As always with a new thing start with KZbin. Your video is THE starting place for a newbie. Thank you and well done. I have pre-ordered the book for Kindle. ETA October 29, 2022.

[@JordanHetrick]

Hi David, Congrats on the new camera and thank you for the positive comment! You are welcome! You will love this one for snorkeling with the fam! I've captured so many amazing memories in the water with my wife and kids. !t's so easy to always have the GoPro with you. Have a great day and thanks again!

excellent video...I'm a first time go pro user and had no idea what to do with this thing. I will be referring back to this often

[@kch0312]

As a first time go pro user who was gifted the Hero 11 Black, I just want to say Thank you Jordan for being so clear and to the point with this guide. My go pro case was a bit different tho, the casing was entirely black and it had a head mount too. Going to Indonesia tomorrow and can’t wait to use it there for the first time. Thanks a lot mate:)

THANK YOU Luis! That is fantastic to hear!

[@JordanHetrick]

Hey Guys, I hope you like the video! Please let me know what questions you have and how you are liking the Hero 11. Also, just so you are aware, I've heard there are some trolls out there trying to scam people by impersonating me. 😐 I am not doing any giveaways and will never ask for anything from you. Be safe, be aware and take care. Thanks so much for watching!

[@justme-bb4qt]

Pretty cool video, I just switched from gp7 to the 11, already have the quick app, now with the 11 when I download the videos to my phone I can't watch them, only audio. It will play the videos on the app but not on the regular photo gallery app on my android. Any idea how to fix this issue?

So thank you so far because I know nothing about GoPros this is my first one ever for my KZbin channel. I will finish watching the rest tomorrow after it's charged. Thank you very much for the easy steps.

Awesome! Thank you so much for the comment! And great job for charging it up first! See you tomorrow!

[@scratcherking10]

@@JordanHetrick no thank you for making this video I really am not in any way a tech guy .I know nothing about cameras in general. I have a KZbin channel with 3,000 subscribers and I'm growing so I wanted to get the best of the best. And when I saw GoPro 11 Creator edition I figured that's perfect for me because I'm sick and tired of my phone zooming in and out and going Auto zooming. So I figured I would drop a lot of money and become professional. So thank you for helping me understand GoPros and learning the right way.

[@ardentdfender4116]

Wow, I don’t even own a GoPro and this was helpfully. However, been thinking about getting my first GoPro a 10 or 11 and that’s why I’m watching the video which is still quite helpful in research evaluating. The communication and explanation as quite clear for a beginner which is quite important.

[@jamicheshire]

This video just helped me make my decision to get this camera. I was nervous it would be too technically difficult but now I’m confident I’ll be able to use it easily!! Thank you!! ❤

[@smjadav]

You're a lifesaver. First time GoPro (any for that matter, any action camera) user here. I got frustrated because I couldn't find the Night Timelapse mode. I kept checking the basic video settings. After watching your video, I realised I got to click on the Time Lapse mode to find the other modes 😅 I felt I might have received a fake Gopro 11. You saved my local dealer a nasty phone call from me 😂

[@JordanHetrick]

Hi Swapnil, Thanks so much for the comment and congrats on your first GoPro. The menus can definitely be a bit confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Happy to hear that I helped solve your mystery!

[@txkflier]

After I had used my new GoPro Hero 11 Black a few times, I was wanting to return it. It was overheating and the battery didn't last long at all. But since I'd had it more than 30 days, I figured they wouldn't take it back. So, I sat down with it and went through all of the settings. The next time I took it out, everything worked perfectly. The Quik app is great - as a remote control and as a video editor. I wish I'd found your video in December..

[@JordanHetrick]

Hi, I'm glad you figured it out. I think a lot of people are dissatisfied when they don't understand the camera. Like any tool, you need to know how to use it. The Hero 11 can produce amazing quality videos, so I'm glad you are enjoying it!

I can't view hero 11 videos on my computer. I can sometimes here the voice but no video. I have installed the HEVC extension app but still no video. Can you help?

[@JordanHetrick]

That is strange, especially if you installed an HEVC extension. Did you transfer them to your computer before trying to play them? After you've transferred them, if they still don't play, I would recommend trying another viewer. Have you tried viewing them on VLC?

23:14 my laptop does not have a micro usb to plug it into? so what do i do

[@JordanHetrick]

Hi, If your laptop has a different type of USB, you will have to buy a compatible cable. It would be a USB-C for the GoPro end to whatever USB your laptop has. If your laptop doesn't have a USB port at all, the easiest way to access files would be through GoPro's Cloud storage (if you are a subscriber). If you don't want to use the Could (it can take long to upload long videos), you can share to your laptop from your phone after you've transferred files using the GoPro Quik App. Do any of those solutions work for you?

If I was going to mount my gopro on a bike which setting do you recommend?

[@JordanHetrick]

Hi Juan, It really depends what view you are looking for. The Handlebar Seatpost Mount gives you multiple options for attaching your camera to a few different areas of the bike frame. I like using the Chest Mount because it adds some perspective into the shots with the handlebars in the frame. The Helmet Mounts pretty much just show what's in front of you, which can get kind of boring at times. Hope that helps!
