The ultimate vlogging setup in 2023 - HERO12 Black Creator Edition

[@JohnvanGurp]

Great job man, love your style! I have the 12 black and I just ordered a medium mod. I love that both the front and rear mics can work at the same time. Keep on producing great videos!

[@AdventuresofRon]

Thanks John!! I feel that the media mod audio quality is super underrated!

Great review man I just bought the hero 12 creator edition for recording guitar videos and doing reviews and live footage. This really shows me its capabilities. Subscribed!

I just have a Go Pro Hero 12, the image quality is very good and the stabilizer is smooth

[@AdventuresofRon]

Probably one of the reasons why I'm still using my GoPro!

Awesome video! new subscriber. Picked up the Hero12 Black a few months back, then my wife and older daughter got me this creator kit. Definitely look forward to using it.

just spreading those good vibes! 🤩

[@KingMasterFlexx]

Nice overview. I'm surprised nobody else noticed that your wireless microphone was only recording to the left channel. So the right channel is dead. You'll want to sum that to mono in the future when you're editing. Happy vlogging!

[@AdventuresofRon]

Ha! You caught it! amateur mistake from me! Will definitely be better in future 🫠😂

Heyy!! stoked you picked up your first vlogging camera! & sorry for the late reply! the wireless mic I was using in the video was the Rode Wireless Mic!

[@isaacturnerit]

Such a great video! Quick question I quit using gopro years ago when they would always corrupt the sd card. Have they fixed that yet? I used to love vlogging on it.

[@AdventuresofRon]

thankfully, i havent had that happen to me yet though. when it comes to sd cards, it's important to use those are powerful enough. & it's also a good practice to format an old SD card before using it on the GoPro. community.gopro.com/s/article/microSD-Card-Considerations?language=en_US

Awesome Video! 🤩🔥 I love the GoPro 12!! What video settings were you using for this!?

[@AdventuresofRon]

Thanks! Most of the talking head vlog was shots were in 4K 16:9 30 with HDR

[@Eiyo83]

Great. I think I will by a GoPro to start doing my Vloging ...What Luts you use in this video ?

[@AdventuresofRon]

as a user for almost a decade, I'd say it'll be a great investment! welll.. good news is that this series of videos have NOT been color graded! it's shot straight off the camera!

[@ProtoMarcus]

I really love your energy and enthusiasm! Excellent overview 4:11 - I think you forgot to balance out the Left and Right sound channels in post ahahah _(the RODE microphone recording is only heard on the left channel)_

[@AdventuresofRon]

Thanks buddy! & you are right! i only noticed it after i published

[@havougmbh]

wow, the sound quality is unusually good for gopro... did you edit the sound afterwards?

[@AdventuresofRon]

well, the media mod is super underrated! i've been using it in most of the vlogs on this channel! & no, I did not edit the audio in-post

[@micahmackenzie]

Great video! The audio on the rode mic was only in my left ear*

[@AdventuresofRon]

Ha!! thanks for the call out! something i realized only after i published it!

[@laniakeasupercluster4606]

As I understand it the media mod is not waterproof as your video has suggested.

[@AdventuresofRon]

I mentioned that it is water resistant - rain/snow is fine, but NOT submersible underwater.

[@arnotx2163]

Do you think it can be used for making interviews of people after a conference/meeting ? With the media mod and microphone of hero 12 creator edition or with the Rode Wireless GO II installed ?

[@AdventuresofRon]

yeah for sure! I've done a bunch of those stuff with the HERO12 Creation Edition Setup! & when you pair it with the Rode Wireless Go II it's the perfect combo!

[@scotthugheshesshughesminis8926]

Yes

[@AdventuresofRon]

[@ezhovTV]

Hi! What LUT in this video? Thanks

[@AdventuresofRon]

No LUTs! this was straight out the cam- i believe i shot most of it in HDR! the audio was directly from the Media Mod too!

Out of topic, what type of sunglasses are you wearing? looks awesome mate

thanks dude! The sunglasses are from Oakley, the HSTN Asian Fit!

@@AdventuresofRon what do u think of the DJI Action 4? Which one between the GoPro and the DJI? I also heard GoPro freezes and stops recording all of the sudden. Please tell me your thoughts on that. Thanks in advance.

[@tyittogether]

What laptop is most compatible with go pro just for regular video uploading and regular content creating

[@AdventuresofRon]

well, depending on your budget, the MacBook ecosystem has really good performance when it comes to video editing. no complains with it so far!

Casey Neistat did vlogging with Canon 80D

[@AdventuresofRon]

this is probably a much more affordable setup!

[@ComicKish]

Casey is washed up

Too heavy. The GoPro is the most underrated vlogging camera. No one wants an 80D in their face.

not complaining! Singapore's a great city to live in!

[@danbond9492]

what is your other camera set up in this video?

[@AdventuresofRon]

It 100% shot on the HERO12 Black! Had multiple of them set-up. The product shots with the 'depth of field' was shot on a HERO12 Black + a macro lens

[@JayveeFernandez]

Hey Ron, we met in Manila during the HERO 12 launch. I just completed a vlogging setup with the GoPro 12 Black and the media mod + Hollyland Lark m2 mic. I can't seem to find info about whether it's ok to keep the media mod attached when turned off. Does it drain the battery even when turned off?

[@AdventuresofRon]

Hey Jay! sorry i missed your message! If you're using the "Bluetooth function" it is totally fine to keep the media mod attached. The media mod doesnt drain additional power from your camera

[@TravellingJamesOfficial]

Hey Ron, can i ask what is the title of the music did you used in your intro?

[@AdventuresofRon]

Heyy!! the audio track is Gajate_I Got That !

[@lyndseyanne4022]

Cant believe you cant zoom in on it. Paddle board down the river and want to zoomnin on some wildlife and i cant. Also have to buy all new equipment to upload it to because it lags on all of my current phone/tablet options.

[@AdventuresofRon]

technically you can keyframe & crop-in in post production! p.s if you shoot in 5.3K - you'll much 4x as much pixels than 4k allow you to retain all those details even when cropping in

[@lyndseyanne4022]

@@AdventuresofRon thanks. I'll look into it.

[@davidbarcenas1182]

What wireless mic do u recommend for gopro I really wish the dji work be more compatible since it has Bluetooth

[@AdventuresofRon]

well, i've been using the Rode Wireless Mic for sometime now, & it's been great! *If you're using HERO12, you can connect your bluetooth earbud/headphones to it & use it as a wireless mic

[@ShihTzuFamily991]

I bought my hero 12yesterday

[@AdventuresofRon]

raddd!! hope the tips help! :)

[@hamiltonblanza]

what settings? 8:7 30fps or 60fps?

[@AdventuresofRon]

yes! 4K 8:7 60fps! my everyday go-to setting!

[@kirkeric]

Hey, great run down. I do have one question. Does it have a cinematic view setting that is more natural with no distorting of the image (fisheye)? I'd like to be able to use it for footage that might be harder to shoot with my larger Canon C70. Thanks!

[@AdventuresofRon]

it does! the "Linear" lens offers a wide, non-distorted view!+ with the HERO12 Black you can shoot in s Log color profile to match it with your Canon

[@dudelucky2048]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@AdventuresofRon]

[@asendragnev5149]

Hello, everyone!is the microphone waterproof?

[@AdventuresofRon]

it is 'weather resistant' - it'll survive in the rain/snow, but NOT submerged underwater

[@christopherbreen6225]

What settings do you recommend for filming on the new GoPro hero 12? And how do you also upload to KZbin to have the option to play it at 2160 quality

[@AdventuresofRon]

hey 4K 8:7 60/50fps is my go-to settings! (depending on the region you are in). For that make sure your video export settings are in 4k: 3840x2160 btw here's a video you can checkout on my preferred settings! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnnJdHt4m7tjmMU

[@Mullenm]

Hey Ron, I can’t seem to switch between front / back and front + back when using the media mod. I don’t even see it as an option… Any ideas?

[@AdventuresofRon]

Hey Mullenm, once you connect HERO12 to the media mod, in settings, you’ll see the option to toggle “FRONT; BACK; or FRONT & BACK”.

[@AlaminOnVacation]

Is this video colour graded or non edited?

[@AdventuresofRon]

These footage were straight off the HERO12 Black! non-color graded. I was using the Natural color profile

[@TroyACampbell]

Great setup but something seems off with the image. It just seems to digital. There's no authenticity.

thanks for the feedback troy! could possibly try and dial back my sharpness setting next video!

Can you please tell me go pro 12 battery life and there is heating problem?

[@AdventuresofRon]

with the new power management system you can expect longer runtimes. Personally all these years of using GoPro, I have NEVER ran into overheating issues. That's also cause i never had the need to shoot long continuous recordings.

Idk if its just me but I really dont like the audio quality :( I noticed it in another videos as well.. it sounds kind of stuffy to me.. am I just hearing that?

Pls help me, I just got mine. Why does it turn off after a minute or two while filming/vlogging? Which setting do I need to change?

[@AdventuresofRon]

hey! for it to power off within a minute or two is strange. A common issue that comes to mind is related to the SD card you're using. Can you check if you're using a SD card with the recommended specs? community.gopro.com/s/article/microSD-Card-Considerations?language=en_US

[@thenomadcanuck]

I found the quality just not worth it for the upgrade, looks similar to my GoPro 9 footage and still performs terribly in Low light. The new DJI Pocket 3 is far superior in terms of vlogging

[@AdventuresofRon]

if you're comparing it to the 9, it's a HUGE upgrade. the 8x7 sensor is probably one of the biggest reason why the 12 is my primary go-to camera!
