I recently got the GoPro 12, and I feel it adds many new opportunities for cool shots (I also use a Mavic 2, RX100, and iPhone for photography). I’ve started with helmet mounts, suction cup, floating handle, flexible tripod. It’s a lot of fun if you like to get creative with video and photo. The minus I see is that battery time on time lapse is a bit poor so you’d need a big power bank if you’re filming for hours. I got 4 batteries and a car charger so that I never run out of batteries.

[@babyboy1971]

Just got mine and I love it! My first GoPro. Your vids are so helpful!

[@jakef1977]

Good stuff Jordan. I got your book the other day and I'm setting up my GP12 this weekend. So far I love it.

[@JordanHetrick]

Thank you for the comment and buying the book! I hope you are having fun with your Hero 12! Have a great day!

[@chrisinverarity1793]

Kia Ora from Aotearoa. I just purchased two of your books for the Hero 10 and 12, some great tips on how to use the gopro

[@user-os8rb3gm5s]

Great video. Trying to figure out what would be an ideal camera to capture video of my kids playing sports? I am on the sidelines and they are typically 25 - 50 yards away. Would you recommend this camera or another? Thank you!

[@Corbys_Creations]

Hi Jordon. I just got a new go pro hero 10 and am learning the basics in editing on the quick app. Could you do a video on how to add music to a portion of a video? I can't seem to get it in just one spot. Also I'm having trouble with speeding up parts of my videos any help would be awesome

[@bab3132]

Hi Jordan. I'm a basic photographer and I'm looking at buying a GoPro to take storm chasing in the USA next year. Some friends have said it would be a lighter option to carry around than my regular heavy Nikon camera. What, GoPro would you recommend for taking photos and videos of storms and possible tornados? Because I would be coming from Australia, I would be limited in what luggage I can bring with me, so it would need to be light and 'dummy' friendly. Please let me know what you think. Much appreciated. Bev

[@TriadMovement]

Yeah Jordan! That was awesome!

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks! Go Triad!🤙

[@d9inger544]

After watching your videos I bought one today. My kids got me a ride in a P51 as a gift and I bought it to document that ride. It'll be in late June in GA... so hot. Sitting in my office in air-conditioning ~70F it overheated and shut off after about 20 minutes. The ride, like I mentioned before, is in late June in Georgia, in a bubble of a cockpit in direct sun and will be 30 minutes of flight time. I'm not impressed at all. How do I keep this thing cool?

[@taffy2wheels577]

Hi great vid . Please can i ask ? I have a cardo packtalk edge, can i record auto when im motorcycle blogging, and hooked up to my friends cardo comms systems. Will this pick up our conversations or can i isolate so i can review the bike im riding without hearing their voices. However i may want to include our conversations now and then . At the moment i using a insta 360 Rs one modular with a wired helmet mic. Its very hit and miss. I have looked at the DJI osmo action 4 . Can u help please.

[@MargaretBarbara-sq2im]

Waiting for your new book on the hero twelve.

[@JordanHetrick]

Hi and thank you for the comment. The book is available now through the link in the video description. Thanks so much and enjoy!

[@mynervv]

Good explanation

[@377499]

My wife got me one of these for Christmas. I just spent $1000. on an S23+ cell phone which I love. Takes awesome pictures and videos. I can upload youtube videos directly from the phone to the internet, and have them all edited beforehand right on the phone. Honestly, I do not know why she got me this small device, Gopro, for me. Kind of new to me. The resolutions and capabilities don't come close to my S23+. Suppose I should return it?

[@rommieman.]

Did you changed your standard settings? 5k video is a lot

[@377499]

@rommieman. thank you. She showed me how to use the creator app. It really is wonderful! I will experiment and learn more.

[@kimberleywhite1884]

if you have your airpods hooked up to the camera and got music playing will you hear it in the video? Never had a GoPro before but got my son the 12 coming for his birthday

[@BotGamer-nc8vf]

Can I edit 9:16 videos fov to hyperview ?

[@jerryy5568]

Hey Jordan! Big fan! I just brought my gopro12 as a beginner and I brought your book as well! Im getting it all set up and adding the presets you have available. I’m confused on one part. The presets that doesn’t mention Hypersmooth (for example Water, Air, Outdoor, Selfie) does that mean you want me to turn Hypersmooth off? I can’t tell what you want me to do. Tysm your videos and book is such a big help

[@JordanHetrick]

Hi Jerry, Thank you so much for the message! HyperSmooth is turned On by default so you can just leave it turned on. The settings shown are the ones that should be double checked to make sure they match. I hope that helps! Have a great day and thanks again for the comment and support. 👍

[@jerryy5568]

@@JordanHetrick will do and understood. Tysmmmmm again. I’m so happy I found you last year and finally able to afford a GoPro this camera and book is the best self-brought gift I ever gotten myself for my bday today. You make learning about one so simple. Thanks again and take care!

[@eigengrau1]

The editing of this video is so priceless..

[@JordanHetrick]

Thank you!!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@Marks_Vlogs]

you didnt mentiom.that you can now record while viewing it on your phone! or does it? 🤔

[@brettyg76]

Can the vertical shot be used in photo mode.. such as photo Timelapse or burst mode?

[@JordanHetrick]

Hi Brett, Great question! The vertical aspect ratio is only available in Video Mode and TimeWarp Video. For vertical photos, you will need to crop them. I hope that helps!

[@gaborkristof240]

It would be very very useful if you would be so kind and do a video explaining how to connect the GoPro 12 to a large screen 4K or 8k TV. I bet that 90 % of the people who record in 5.3 or 4K do NOT know how to watch their videos in the resolution they recorded them! What is the use of all your recommended settings for the best available video quality if you do not know how to watch them on your big screen? I requested this video before but so far you did not react to this very useful request. Thanks for your time! Gabor

[@JordanHetrick]

Hi Gabor, I'm sorry I didn't respond to your request before. That comment must have slipped by without me noticing. That is a great idea! I have a lot of videos in the works right now, but I will do my best to see if I can make that one too. Do you like to watch raw, unedited videos on your TV? I usually recommend editing the videos before watching them on a TV for a better viewing experience, but I'm sure other people are watching their raw videos also.

[@gaborkristof240]

@@JordanHetrick thank you very, very much for your video about how to connect and watch GoPro videos in 4K and in 5.3k on a big screen TV (mine is an 8k Sony), yes I watch my videos raw! Thanks again I am looking forward some good advices!

[@staywildmedia]

As far as I can tell, you cant film vertical in LOG, right?

[@jaykavi8231]

Which camera did you use to film yourself on this review? It's in portrait mode and super clear!

[@JJ-gm4ck]

jordan...you in hawii? which isle?

[@JordanHetrick]

Aloha, I live on Maui.🤙

[@gamingwithhendrix9638]

Hey - with this new go pro hero 12 - if I am on the beach shore - can I film my son surfing at say 150-200 meters away?

[@JordanHetrick]

Hi, Great question. No, all of the action cameras use wide angle lenses for filming subjects that are close to the camera. For filming surfing from the shore, you will need a telephoto lens (at least 200mm, depending on your surf spot) or a video camera with the ability to zoom in really far.

[@thegorn]

They kept the feature of "overheating shut down" common to all GoPros 💀

[@user-mr2vi3lj5i]

Hi Old Surf Dude here... new to this internet thing. Is this where I order Mexican Food from the Pajaro Azul cafe in Encinitas. May I have a beef taco, cheese enchilada, beans and rice and a 6er of Dos Equis, please. Mahalo, put it on my account. Also one question, is it true there is a totally secret camera hanging around a totally secret surf spot in Byron Bay. See you guys soon at Spot X .

[@Nick-Eastwood]

Will I get the max lens mod with the hero 12 creator edition?

[@JordanHetrick]

Hi Nick, The Max Lens Mod does not come with the Hero 12 Creator Edition on GoPro's website. I did put a link though in the video description to a bundle that Adorama sells with the Creator Edition contents and the Max Lens Mod 2.0. I hope that helps!
