GoPro Looping Tutorial - Explanation of 20 minute loop cycle

[@TheRealChorLee]

GoPro should pay you for this. Great explanation.

[@darkspeed62]

I have to say this is the most bizzare feature ever, and this is the third video I've come across (and by far the most informative) it's taken a while for me to understand how it works. Thank you so much.

[@KidBako]

Great instructional video . . . thank you. Here I am nearly 6 years later after your post learning from it. I have a Hero 3 Black that continues to run perfectly and will use the loop function for my kayak fishing trips. Lots of shear boredom with moments of "holy mackerel, I caught something!"! Again, thank you very much.

[@NaKoleji]

By far one the best explanations on how stuff works, excellent work, thank you.

[@TheOnlyAlainAw]

I've been reading lots of articles about gopro loop and can't seem to understand them until I found your video. Excellent tutorial. Thanks.

[@dannyp433]

This was very informative. Just what i was looking for - Thank you!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks man. Best video out there to explain this. I messed up and had it on 5 min loop for fishing. 20 min will be way better.

[@fishin-impossible2992]

Hey brother that was the best explanation I've gotten about looping. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@groundedfilms5877]

this is the best breakdown on gopro looping on KZbin thanks for the great video!!!!

[@Bluelight7007]

great explanation and clear, easy to understand illustrations. I love it

[@diversolo987]

I looked other videos and by far this is the best I came about. THANK YOU MUCH!

[@amphitrichous]

Thank you, I have the hero 4 and you addressed my confusion exactly! That example was done in a very helpful way.

[@testingnames1995]

That must have been the best trip of your life! You saw a ufo, the loch ness monster and the big foot! Thanks for the video. Very informative.

[@tangogolf4115]

Thanks for the kind word!

[@testingnames1995]

Tango Golf No problem!

[@andrewortiz4637]

I wish I could like this video more than once. very good examples and explanations

[@TheAdamAdy]

This is excellent for a dashcam on a motorcycle, great explanation, thanks

[@fishycomics]

Perfection at its best thank you for sharing

[@ps91digitalarts29]

Great video, and very easy to understand.

[@Peac249]

Awesomely explained

[@BenceeIvan]

Thank U very much. It was so helpful for me! Does it work the same on HERO 4, doesn't it?

[@Lampofilm]

great video, does this also work with the new hero 4 black gopro

[@tangogolf4115]

I'm really not sure, I'm still using the good old H-3!

[@ollievann]

Yes you can just tried on my H4B

[@tangogolf4115]

Thanks Alain! Once you get the hang of it it's really handy feature.

[@neolightproductions]

Sweet thanks for this video. I think I may have figured out this looping thing. lol. I drive a truck and we can drive for long periods of time. I have a go pro hero 3+ black with a 32gb card. There is just no way that we can film our full day of driving. 10hrs driving 14hrs on the clock, etc. So this may be the solution because it can delete old boring driving. What would be the best setting though? hhmm. I'd have to make sure to if anything did happen to stop the video right away or it could record delete what just happened while talking to cops, exchanging info, etc.

[@klingerrc8342]

Awesome video with great instructions! Thanks!

[@myYOLOtek]

This is VERY well done!

[@franksyed1]

Even after 4 yrs.. Thank you 👍

[@GowithRyan]

Thanks a lot!! This video answer all my questions!!

[@KayakOutbreak]

when the memory is filled, will the camera start overriding the old footage?

[@tangogolf4115]

Yes, that's exactly right! - T

[@calemansito]

thank you very much, just what I were looking for

[@johnyoung7408]

Hi if something happens on minute 19 for 5 mins have you lost 4 mins of the event in 20 minute looping?

[@HorizontalDiversLLC]

well explained thank you.

[@ederson4643]

Very good man!

[@waymorhd]

great info video. thanks...

[@DannyPorsche]

Very nice! Thanks.

[@epants1212]

just answered my question! Thank you!

[@thriftyracing]

Your awesome, thank you so much for this tutorial. Very helpful!

[@lawrenceellis7051]

Thank you. Very good tutorial.

[@tangogolf4115]

Thanks Lawrence!

[@PhannyObsession]

I don't know why GoPro can't add a simple 'DashCam' Mode that simply records five minute clips until the Card is full and then deletes the oldest File. They could give you the option the press the 'Tag' Button while recording to 'Protect' that File (when you see Big Foot) and it will not get over-written. The problem with using the Looping feature as a DashCam is that it still saves the 'Bank' at the end of each journey. So, you still have the hassle of having to Format the Card every now & then. They could easily add this feature in an update

[@sadiqdelil5189]

Very good video. I recommend

[@AR911NEWS]

thank you VERY MUCH - you should be a teacher! i run arkansas911news.com and i've been wanting to do a reality show. this looping business is EXACTLY what i need to be doing with my gopro cameras. THANKS - GREAT JOB!

[@Jacob0481]

Thank you for this

[@jerrygreen3873]

thank you for the helpful information

[@fishin-impossible2992]

Great info man

[@sinkitlim8572]

v good explanation for the 20 min looping. what about max loop ? anybody can interpret max looping mode ?

[@sinkitlim8572]

i understand that the max setting will record until the SD card is full, then erase the 1st clip of that interval. but what if there is a 2nd bank ? like if i were to press the button to stop recording, then press it again to start recording ? For example, my SD card is able to record 2hrs 30mins worth of 1080P videos. My first bank of clips is already 1hr 30mins, if i start another bank of 1hr 30 mins video, would it erase the 1st bank's clip or would it just stop recording ?

[@tangogolf4115]

Hi John, If something happened on minute 19 for a whole 5 minute time period then the camera would record 1 minute of the "UFO Landing" in the last 1 minute section of clip 4 and then 4 minutes of the event in in the first 4 minutes of clip 5. I know it's a bit confusing but the more you play with it the better you'll get!

[@rbotdance]

Well explained :D thanks

[@carlosmonsalve578]

gracias, fue el unico video que entendi, muy buena explicacion

[@MrMrhutchinson]

thanks mate this helps a lot ;)

[@jaycale9784]

That explanation is 4k clear.

[@MOBBINOutdoors]

thank you so much!!!!

[@josejaimefelixgarciagarcia8884]

Can you delete a specific clip in the bank?

[@tangogolf4115]

Hi Jao, Yes, you can delete as needed but you'll need to know which clip you're looking for after you transfer them into your computer. Be careful you don't delete the wrong one. - T

[@LeOverLimite]

Tanks you very much ;) Now i know. Tanks you. Nice Day ;)

[@T1ger8oi]

I was hoping it can record longer than that.

[@GarrettHoyos]

Great video - terrible feature for using gopro as a dashcam. The SD card fills up instead of overwriting the oldest clip so you're forced to reformat.

[@tangogolf4115]

Hi Bence, I'm not sure to tell you the truth, my experience has been strictly on the Hero 3 Black Edition.

[@007tallguy]

now i know what i was doing wrong, lol. i had my cam set for 5 minute loop thinking the card would fill up with 5 min clips. instead, it gave me one bank of 1 min clips and then it would repeat that cycle, overwriting the one min clips. in other words, that mode would only use up 5 minutes of card space rather than filling the card and then starting over with the overwriting. i have to assume if i had it set for "max", then it would have filled my card. in 45 minutes of recording time, i ended up with only the last 5 minutes being saved. i'm glad i wasn't recording anything too important.
