GoPro Hero10 Black CREATOR EDITION + YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

[@DavidManningvlog]

What do you guys think? GoPro Creator Edition or David Manning Creator Edition?!

[@Lauders75]

The other option, certainly gives more options.

[@michaeljewett1142]

The David Manning kit is more versatile in some respect, however it’s missing a remote, which (I’m assuming) comes quite handy on the Volta. But what if there were yet another option? Is there a decent GoPro-compatible gimbal that could be an alternative to the Volta? A gimbal would let you add an nd filter without compromising the image when using low shutter speeds, for example. It might also have a rotating option for motion time lapses. Just thinking out loud here lol.

[@BrandonTalbot]

DM me. It's a double entendre

[@DavidManningvlog]

@@Lauders75 Accurate👍

[@DavidManningvlog]

@pez-ANT For sure a cleaner setup! If you're frequently using a battery pack to run your GoPro, the Volta is a nice easy setup. But you're getting 4,900mAh compared to if you're using a 10,000mAh battery pack. Whatever works best for your setup👍

[@losiek008]

actually, the one and only problem with "your" kit is, that if I wanna switch batteries, i need to take the whole setup apart in order to get to the battery doors. Huge advantage of the creator kit is, that I can just plug the cable and charge whole setup together.

[@NaterFernat]

Buy a battery pack and you're good to go

[@robertosullivan1460]

So, I did a video this weekend using the Volta and the 2.0 selfie-stick. One important thing I noted: when using the tripod function of the selfie-stick, the camera was top-heavy and was shaking in the wind (ultimately unusable video). I think they both (Volta & selfie stick) have their advantages/drawbacks, but walking down the street vlogging/quick capture, the Volta wins. I actually capture more video because I’m not as worried about battery life or someone noting that I’m turning on the camera

[@JudoSurfer]

To be similar to GoPro creator kit, you also need to add The Remote, a way to screw the 3-Way 2.0 into a selfie stick with standard thread, AND a way to mount your tripod/selfie stick to any GoPro mount (why don't you mention the pop out mounting fingers? They are really handy!). Also, for the vlogger wondering how to set mic so they can turn the camera forward and backwards, you just set it to camera mic. Yes not the exact same, but like you said, the camera mics are pretty good. Plus, if they add a directional mic like Rode, they're in the same dilemma.

I love the volta! I would turn the camera on and off through the Volta at first it caught me off guard because it wasn't connected but once I started playing with the volta it turns out you can use the volta wirelessly as a complete remote with turning on/off the go pro and changing modes quickly!

[@MTBjared]

love your videos man, keep it up

[@JudoSurfer]

Beware of scammer pretending to be David

[@gingernaut2550]

I would spent the whopping 17 bucks and get the gopro set up for the simple fact, the volta is more convenient than swapping in 3 batteries. The price diff would have to be more substantial for me to consider having to take the camera out of a media mod everytime a battery needs a swap. plus, the volta can charge other things like my phone, spare batteries cannot

[@JustinPulitzerTrades]

Would be good to see you try the light in a dark setting.

[@lestat964]

I took it to Disney twice last week and i enjoyed it. Used the polorpro clip to attach to my backpack. I like not having to remove the media mod to replace the battery. Still a massive pain when the GO Pro freezes and I have to remove the battery to reset though lol. I dont know why GoPro didnt put feet clamps on the bottom of the media mod itself.

[@JonS]

Try holding the shutter and mode button for 8 seconds to do a reset.

[@TheDamExperience]

I only bought the creator addition because the extra battery sounded nice with out having to have more batteries... But your set up looks sweet too as a Pro creator I would think one would have many set ups though in there bag just to be able to have the Manningkit and the GoPro creator kit and the MalinaKit just being able to have different set ups to get different shots! you brought many ideas to my attention like if I'm sitting at a restaurant just take the battery out and let it film so it wont over heat and or when I'm walking around a new town just to be able to have more battery to put in the GoPro battery back in to film plus the wind and all would help that as well. Keep it up Love the videos!

[@kiera_perrin]

Interesting but does it work with the Dji action cams David? That would be cool.

[@GLITTERY_RAGE126]

thanks for the information.

[@thescubabug1]

The problem with "your" kit, is the battery swap... If on the fly, it is very inconvenient to basically undress the camera system every time you run low on power. I wish the "creator" kit would have an arm extension for better wide shots. But that being said... a tripod swap out is STILL far easier than swapping out the battery.... BTW, AWESOME "overheating" tip. That solves a big problem for extended time-lapse shots. Nice.

[@pepsviper]

can you connect the 2 way of 3 way bracket to volta and use type-c extension for the connection? so that you have volta+2 way combine?

[@thebikeracer]

I use your last solution with a round external battery. Works great.

[@arowe231]

Wow! So many great ideas. I'm going...idk...both lol. Each one has its own pro and cons. The Volta does not bend like the 3Way 2.0. and it's nice having the batteries right there. I did like the setup you did with the external battery!! I might do that! And stay no beard or just a few days scruff. Btw great video!

[@flightriot3454]

I would prefer the GoPro David Manning kit. Great video.

[@kelalamusic9258]

Both the GoPro kit, and your kit are fine. For me, just give me the camera and the Volta. For one thing, I don’t have to keep changing out the batteries, which is ideal while at the beach or doing a lengthy time lapse. Don’t really need an extra mic. Either way is great depending on one’s needs. Love your videos, Dave. Keep ‘em coming. 😊

[@Dan_B_Rides]

I think I would go with your set up but I do have a question for you. How much better is the rode microphone than the media mod’s microphone? Have you or can you do a comparison video? Love the beard look by the way 👍🏻

[@pyrotechnic1252]

How much weight for the gopro + volta + media mod + light mod? ... i cant find any precise info on the internet. My point is if the setup weighs over a7c body, i dont think its a great idea to carry it around.

Love the video! If I had a dollar for every time you said the word “GoPro” in this video.. I’d be able to buy a ton of GoPros 😂

[@mgmeo]

I had an issue with GoPro where I was a subscriber for a year+ and when I bought the Hero10 Black in a kit, they only sent me the camera…when I called and said basically what you did about subscriber benefits, I was more or less wink wink, told to create a new subscription and email every year. GoPro can use that new subscriber number and show it to their shareholders, that’s what they care about. Their product these days is the stock, not the cameras.

[@BradfordThroughTheLens]

I like your set up. But just concerned about one directional mic? Does third party mic solve the issue?

[@OneEyeBlindMedia]

I am MOST definitely a RODE mic guy but in the case of needing a mic for flipping back and forth filming. I suggest the Diety D4 Duo, it will solve the problem. BTW: I have spoken with RODE about creating a mic for this purpose!

[@BrandonTalbot]

The D4 is rad.

[@JusDirtfishin]

I have the GoPro hero 9. I ended up buying an after market light and use the media mod. I just recently added the Røde wireless go ll. But I Metal detect in the woods a lot where it has some dark spots so the light helps a lot.

Honestly, the GoPro creators edition is ideal. The entire point is minimalism. Having to carry 3 extra batteries and take the entire rig apart just to switch out batteries is not ideal. Plus, I rather have the light and not need it then need it and not have it.

Hi, i have a question So does the volta charge the battery and the GoPro is powered or does the volta just simultaneously power the battery? Eg: incase i am using volta for a half-day and if i am planning to get into the water with just the GoPro, will the battery be full when i remove volta?

[@DavidManningvlog]

Yep, the Volta battery is being used first and then it pulls from the internal. So when you pull your GoPro off, it will be almost completely full👍

Great video David. Does the Media mod do anything other than have a mic? If you’re buying a Rode mic is there any point in buying the media mod apart from it giving you the cold shoe? Cheers David

[@DavidManningvlog]

Yeah, unfortunately the GoPro still needs an audio adapter. We used to have the dongle so we could plug a 3.5mm mic cable into the GoPro, but now the best option is the MediaMod. So the MediaMod acts as the adapter and cold shoe 👍

[@420scene]

Your creator kit sounds better. I’ve been using GoPro cameras for a while and they are trash in low light conditions and like you said, I don’t think that light kit is going to make much of a difference because it’s still going to look grainy in the dark. I have a GoPro 9 but I also have my Canon DSLR but I do a lot of shots with my guitar so the GoPro would be a better choice to move it more freely.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Yeah man, action cameras are for sure not for low light situations! For low light, sensor size plays a massive role in capturing the little light that’s there. Action cameras just have too small of sensors to be able to really perform well. To be fair though, the action cams that are out right now are doing the best job of it ever. So at least they’re the best we’ve had🤷‍♂️

Dude, we're not talking about the nighttime, but about a good lighting in the daytime indoors and outdoors. In my country it's very often quite dark because it's cloudy most of the time, so you have to even switch on the lights during the day. Does this "creator" mod help with that?

I had the David Manning Creator Kit for 5 years already, but I have to ask - is Rode Video Micro still the best choice out there? First of all, it's a directional mic, and that's not useful as a vlogger when you're turning the camera around from your face to what you're seeing. I could barely be heard when pointing the mic forwards. I know Rode has the Wireless Go which is nifty but has a lot of small parts that could get easily lost. What recommendations are there for a small bi-directional or omni mic that's as good as the Rode Video Micro, that will just plug right into the side of the GoPro 10? It's baffling that GoPro hasn't made something so simple. The one on the Media Mod seems to be very average.
