GoPro Hero 8 Black Tips and Tricks | Tutorial

[@brassoh]

My GoPro Hero 8 black (first gopro) was about to be flung out of a window until I watched this video.THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@sidewinder4718]

🗣😂✅

[@BackcountryPilgrim]

Love these tutorials, no BS and no wasted words. Thanks!

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@JOEZEP54]

Very useful. One of the problems I have is the size & pressing the control apps. I did not know hitting the shutter button & the mode button changed the settings. This explains why some of my videos were unusable. I must have had my finger on the shutter when changing from picture to video. Stay safe, Joe Z

[@devindee6767]

Thank you so much for the tip on changing the custom settings with the buttons!!!! Why anyone else did not talked about this...? That was literally the thing that has kept me from getting the hero 8 and i have been looking for the dji which has the mode button cause i really cant open my dive case for what im using the camera for! But then again gopro has the superior video quality in my opinnion. U just helped me to make my desicion very easy! And i really did not want to go that Dji route 😂 thank you sir!

[@brooklynbound1000]

You have the clearest tutorials.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much

[@Kit91180]

This is the latest GoPro I've got (my last buy was the Hero 4 Silver). Thanks so much for updating me on it!

[@brandonhansen2768]

Thank you for making no nonsense and informative tutorial videos!

[@allengreene27]

As a newbie to GoPro’s, you’re videos are super helpful! Ordered the 8 after watching your stability vids.

[@gunnsteinnjonsson9166]

This is fantastic. Your videos are so informative and your knowledge is so great that there is not a second waisted watching it. An hour ago l wasn't very optimistic that l would learn how to use my Hero 8 but now when l have watchet four of your videos l have learned a lot an l am very optimistic. Thanks for taking the time to help me out. I really appreciate it 😊👍

[@SDMCanada]

What would you recommend buying - Gopro 8, Sony X3000 or Osmo Action? Thanks

[@bennedictbyy]

Hero 8. ALL DAY.

[@AirPhotography]

My vote would be the hero 8

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

@@AirPhotography is the 8 as stabil as people claim? (Usually review people are paid and or got a free camera) I wish people would post RAW,100% untouched ,UNgraded..ACTUAL out of camera footage

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

@@AirPhotography GP says older batteries wont let all functions work..what exactly wont work?

[@AirPhotography]

BOOSTEDLASER I do believe it has to do with hyper smooth in some high frame rates

[@AlexCastillo-ec7nd]

thank you! I just got my one in the mail today, gonna go for a bike ride tomorrow and test it, thanks for helping the rookies!

[@OverseasFilipinoMom]

I've been watching your video cuz I have hero 8 black but until now I'm not using it yet. This kind of video is a great help for me as a beginner.

[@deeeeeeps]

Spectacular video. I just got my G8 and I thought they removed all the functions until watching this video. It really helped me get the most out of my purchase!

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you, I also have a beginners guide for the hero eight black which goes over a lot of detail.

[@NITINCHAWLA]

One off the best gopro based channels on youtube! Please make a tips and tricks for GOPRO MAX

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much

[@aerospacenews]

Been shooting with ours for some weeks now. This is a surprisingly good camera. Have some footage coming up of flying in an AutoGyro. There is a scene where the stick is shaking pretty obviously yet the footage, thanks to the stabilization, is smooth as silk. Very impressed. That third party door looks pretty handy too.

[@crazycat913]

I’m brand new to GoPro and just got mine yesterday and this helped soooo much

[@billjonesnation]

That new door from Amazon is awesome. I had no idea they made something like that.

[@rhomarscott5769]

Thank you...

[@jimbonguyen]

Great videos. Truly. One suggestion: For videos like this one, crop/zoom closer to the GoPro. Make it easier to see its menus. As is, the GoPro takes up about 1/9th the KZbin screen. Your hands, however, take up nearly 50% of the screen. Something to think about.

[@deeeeeeps]

I got a tip for you. Watch on a computer I had 0 issues seeing it and the hands are great communicating tools.

[@Pallidus_Rider]

Turning down rear display screen is really helpful when you are using your smart phone as external monitor. I wish this was built in feature, or something you can toggle. Smart phone has bigger screen 😲 🤔

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

Enjoyable and informative instructional tips so thanks. One question: I noticed that the GoPro has GPS and couldn't help wondering about finding it if it gets misplaced somehow. Are we only able to locate it with the beeps it makes or can the GPS help us as well ? Cheers, J. Noe

[@AirPhotography]

The GPS is only used to embed metadata within the video track, different Different telemetry details such as speed etc.

[@zacharysallie2188]

Found you a couple weeks ago and have been watching alot of your videos. Have to say I really enjoy them. But I wanted to know what GoPro you would recommend for someone who's never had a GoPro. Been thinking about the hero 8 black or hero 7 black but not sure.

[@AirPhotography]

Well you can get some really good deals on the Hero 7 right now And really it is an excellent camera. But my preference is the 8 I am really enjoying all the new features

[@catchjulessfishing2348]

Thanks for this video. I accidentally removed the slow mo snail from my touch screen, how do I put back on ?

[@AirPhotography]

Every specific shooting mode could be customized to buttons or on the screen. To reenable it you can go to a shooting Road such as “cinematic” And reset it back to default or exit the properties of that shooting mode and scroll to the bottom and there you can set what buttons appear on the screen

[@catchjulessfishing2348]

@@AirPhotography thank you so much , I did it and it worked. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

[@TheCommonManOnWheels]

I am just wondering how bad the battery drain was throughout the video :), each 10% battery loss is like 10 mins of video footage gone..!!

[@EhsanExplains]

Thanks for your video. Great content! I have a question about my GoPro HERO8 Black but need some introduction first. I have a long road trip from Florida to Oregon. I bought a GoPro HERO8 Black to record the whole route in "real-time" (no timelapse). I want to upload the videos on YouYube in 4 parts. Each part is 8 to 9 hours driving (I will stop the camera to rest and shake my legs every 3 to 4 hours). I will mount the camera inside my car on the official GoPro Mount. I want to do minimum effort after recording (no color grading, no lut, no music ....) as these files would be huge and rendering takes forever! For storage, I have two SanDisk Extreme Pro Micro SDXC UHS-I U3 A2 V30 Memory Card (256GB). For battery, I have two of them, a charger, and a 20500 mA power bank. Also, I have the easy option of connecting the GoPro directly to the cigarette lighter charger. With this introduction now my question is: What setting do you recommend on my GoPro for video recording of this long trip? P.s.: Please let me know if you have any advice. Best, Ehsan

[@waleedonbike]

This is pretty useful! Everything you explained is soo good. Gonna do all this on my gopro that i just bought! Thank you

[@bloodyhell451]

That was a great help. You wouldn't know why my Hero 8 black goes into speed-film mode when the one-touch button is actvated by any chance ? I've reset everything and it still does it. User-error on start up is a suspect.......

[@CapeAnnImages]

I just ordered one, a 1st timer. Can you start and stop a video then simply start it again? I have video capabilities on my Nikon D7000 DSLR but as soon as I turn off the start button it doesn't continue the original video the next time I start it again. In other words I can't pause it.

[@AirPhotography]

Every time you hit stop recording and then start recording again it will create a new file

[@CapeAnnImages]

@@AirPhotography Thanks! That's not good, I see other videos where it appears there's a seamless change in camera angles. perhaps they are using a different camera or editing files together. It's much simpler to just hit pause then move the camera and restart it.

[@WandererBell]

This is a great video. I learned a lot about GoPro 8 from your videos.

[@AirPhotography]

Wanderer Bell thank you very much and thanks for watching

[@reached6050]

Excellent tutorial - really helps a newbie like myself ATB Dave

[@gypsynurseRN]

I appreciate all your knowledge that you share for the Hero8 GoPro. Nice voice and easy to understand. Thank you. : )

[@MYOOUTDOORCLIPS]

I’m planning to buy it. Now I feel satisfied enough. Thank you for your tips!💚💚💚💚

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed

[@roboink]

Just bought an excellent used one. I have a Hero 3 silver I have been using to take video and still shots of a shipwreck in Lake Michigan that has been uncovered by the beach erosion. The 3 keeps loosing connection with my phone in the gopro app. Not sure if the 8 will do the same.

[@jayinla228]

Cool vid, A question regarding fps and shutter. Ive heard that your shutter should be double your fps but but on a sunny day when setting shutter to double the fps whether its 120 or 240 it makes the image very bright

[@cliftonbencke]

Hi. I watched your first review of the Hero 8, and it sounded like you didn't recommend it. One big issue was the lack of being able to replace the protective lens cover. What are your thoughts now? It sounds like you do like it?

[@nubear5053]

This is really great, especially the adjustment of settings for underwater. Have you experienced the gopro 8 jumping between photo to video or to timlapse when not recording in water?

[@DAS-Videos]

I decided to upgrade from my hero3 to the hero8. It looks like it is a really good upgrade, I can't wait until it arrives. I will bookmark your video to keep as a reference.

[@VizaXpert]

Very informative and helpful tips, cheers 🇨🇦

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@Grammapro]

Is there a way I can also use my GoPro 8 as a backup camera for my motorhome? Just want to monitor and not record. Can I plug into 12v, connect to app, and have the iPhone show what’s behind us without automatically turning off? Thanks for all the tips!

[@bennedictbyy]

You can set the power off to never. Also maybe you can try live stream mode.

[@AirPhotography]

It is possible. But for long-term solution I think there might be a better option

[@monteshanksph.d.7113]

Quick question, just got a GPH 8, saw you used to recommend Anker power banks, and now you recommend RAVPower. Just want a power bank that is small and won't ruin my GP battery, saw one guy said some can burn up your GP batteries. Which pocket size power bank do you recommend? Love the channel.

[@AirPhotography]

Any of the modern brands will not damage the batteries at all. Both anker and Ravpower are good brands and either one would do you well. Size is only important for portability 26,000 mA hours will give you a lot of power but can be heavy and bulky for a camera kit, where is a 10,000 mA hour it’s fairly portable I can still provide a good amount of recharges. Mainly I switch to ravpower because I like their power delivery ports on the power banks which allow me to charge anything from my GoPro to my MacBook

[@monteshanksph.d.7113]

@@AirPhotography Thanks for the response, U DA MAN!

[@MarkAmis]

can u share your best settings with time warp and night lapse?

[@shawnj4554]

Great videos man, really appreciate it.

[@AirPhotography]

Shawn J Thank you very much

[@dugsbugs1]

I know this video is old but you cannot use a powerbank with the battery installed if you want to record. You need to remove the battery if you want to use a powerbank. You will see if you leave the battery in, when you start recording, the charge icon goes out and it reverts back to the battery. This is to stop the battery from overheating and is a real pain. I think the later ones have fixed this issue. You can have both for timelapse but you need to have a 2nd constant power draw on the powerbank like a usb light so it doesn't shut down when the gopro battery has recharged. I have 3 gopro 8 and they are probably the most problematic gopro's I own.

[@bthomas493]

I always gain valuable information from your videos. Thanks!!

[@rileysreview8527]

Thank you for all the video’s you make I am getting a GoPro shortly and I enjoy watching these video’s so I can get to know a bit more about the GoPro Hero 8 Black.

my go pro hero 8 black has not been damaged in any sort or form, but it will not tur itself on. Only the red light in the front and nothing else... i have tried some of the reset things, like holding the mode button for 10 seconds..nothing works

Can you post a tips and tricks regarding GoPro shipping a replacement unit? Currently a 3 to 6-month backlog!

[@AirPhotography]

Wow that is crazy. I’ve never had to use that service but I would not be happy with that turn around

[@TheCommonManOnWheels]

I have a question here sir, so you plugged in power bank and GoPro started charging, so can you actually record while charging? and does it charge the battery? I am asking that because, I plugged in the wall charger and it was not charging the battery though it was showing the fluctuating animation..!!

[@AirPhotography]

Yes you can you can record while charging. Many people make use of this feature when Moto vlogging for capturing a long time lapses

[@TheCommonManOnWheels]

@@AirPhotography Thanks for the revert..!! Actually, I was talking about the wall charger, I had the battery inside the GoPro and then I started charging it using wall charger, the battery was 5% and it never increased beyond 5% after 30 mins, then I switched off the GoPro and then it started charging..!!

[@DanJourney0264]

How did you upload yor videos so very clear? Can you make a tutorial to that?

[@fpvflyriding]

[@100cygnus]

[@2772javier]

Do you eat the battery? You started with 97% and finished with 47%. Is it spent very fast? About how long does it last? Thank you!

[@AirPhotography]

Javier Garcia It’s hard to tell in the video, but I was editing I’m cutting parts out so the camera was powered on and doing different things for well over an hour. Go pros have never been known to have great battery life

[@billjonesnation]

I know what you mean. What about a chest strap or go pro on top of a baseball hat. It won't be as noticeable then?

[@RobboRobbo]

Bill Jones Nation I figured out if I wear a jumper (sweater if your American) with a hood on it, I can wear the head strap and put my hood over my head so from the back it just looks like I’m wearing a hood.

[@barrystrickland6527]

What gopro app are you using? The hero8 is not available best I can tell.

[@rappy90]

You mention when videoing with the camera upside down that it still records 'right side up' afterwards. Any video I recorded would flip upside down with the camera and I'd have to flip it in editing software to get it right side up. Does exposure lock fix this? Or do I need to start recording after the camera is flipped first?

[@rsmelser]

Under Preferences, go to orientation, and set to "all"

[@rappy90]

@@rsmelser Actually I discovered that I have to have the camera in its position before recording. I thought once recording, I could flip it upside down and the video would stay right side up, but its not the case. I notice that once it records, it locks that way and will flip upside down!

Do you have any idea why this GoPro won't charge while recording? Mine won't allow me to record and charge at the same. I am trying to do extended time lapse (8 hours). Thank you.

[@tagnatios]

Great content thanks. ? Why did my GoPro hero 8 record 3 files upside down and 3 files the right way up in quick capture mode , I had it mounted on my bike.

[@AirPhotography]

Carlos B I’m not quite sure that is quite odd

[@tagnatios]

Air Photography , I don’t know y either, but I worked out how to flip it on the camera whilst viewing the footage.

[@JudoSurfer]

If you have the camera mounted, you should set the orientation. Otherwise, the internal gyro can get confused to the camera orientation when first turning on to record, which will result in video being recorded upside down or even sideways.

[@tagnatios]

DANIEL Rogness set the orientation to ? It was previously on landscape when it happened the first time, this morning I set it to ALL, same thing happened 🤷🏻‍♂️
