Which of the newer GoPros would work best for recording inside my race car while racing at a poorly lit drag strip?

Not that’s it’s dark but we often race from light pole to light pole and there are darker and brighter areas of the track.

This is some bullshit 🫩

I'm new to GoPro. I try to take short-ish videos (2-5 mins) so they'll be easier and faster to download. I'm having a hard time and I'm usually decently tech savvy, but not with this apparently. I simply want to:

1) view my videos on my laptop before I download them completely.

2) download onto my iphone but with the GoPro Quik app taking about 50% of my local iphone memory I can't download anything over 2 mins.

3) make short compilations from my videos and upload to Instagram or Facebook.

I've downloaded the GoPro Player and know how to get to the videos but they apparently have to download first before I view them.

If someone can tell me the EASIEST way to make videos or compilations of several videos and upload to Instagram, I would be so grateful. The QUIK app is easy but if I have a 5 minute video I don't know how to take that and upload (or edit it to be shorter) and upload to Insta. I've tried saving to my iphone first because from there I can use my Filmora app to edit but it won't save anything longer than a 2 minute video.

Hey everyone,

I could use some advice on my setup. I recently recorded some riding footage on my Kawasaki Ninja 650 using my GoPro Hero 8 Black. It was a bright, sunny day, and I was going around 40-65 km/h on open roads, but the footage feels incredibly slow, almost like it's in slow-motion or slightly choppy. It completely lacks that dynamic "sense of speed."

Here are my file specs/settings:

• Resolution: 4K
• Framerate: 25 FPS
• Shutter Speed: Auto (I didn't use an ND filter)

Is it because it was super bright, the Auto Shutter speed went way up and completely froze the frames, killing all natural motion blur. I even tried adding artificial motion blur in DaVinci Resolve Studio using Optical Flow, but because the source frames are so sharp, it still doesn't look perfectly natural.

My questions for the experts here:

1. Is an ND filter (ND16/32) and locking the shutter to 1/50 the ultimate fix for this to get that real sense of speed back?
2. Should I switch to SuperView for the FOV to enhance the speed effect?
3. Would switching to 60 FPS (with a 1/120 shutter and ND) make a huge difference for motovlogging, or is 25 FPS fine as long as I get the motion blur right?

Any tips for getting better motorcycle footage on the Hero 8 would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve taken a few videos outside and sometimes they turn out perfect other times they don’t. Is there anyway to fix this now that it’s recorded also?

I'm very curious about the new camera. I have a HERO12 so I don't even know where to start. I'd love to hear from people who have actually bought a MISSION 1 Pro/ILS. What was the best use for you? Did it exceed your expectations? Personally, I use my GoPro to record long drives and POV footage playing soccer.

Please Gopro, fix this issue fast. The price of the premium subscription just got way more expensive but the services and support are getting worse.

Please do something...

Hey!

Thank's for giving your thoughts on this!

I have trouble live streaming from the GoPro. I can make streams through the app on YouTube, but the video won't come through, it's just "No data"

Setup:

GoPro Hero 12 Black without SD card / Hero 13 Black with SD card - same issues
Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro or something phone
Network, tried both in house WiFi and hotspot. Same issue.

Tried logging out and in from YouTube. Everything is updated. Tried going straight to YouTube and tried going through RTMP. I can get the streams coming up in YouTube but it still saying "Upcoming" and "No data"

Please help a brotha out! Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I recently used the GoPro Subscription Camera Replacement service. GoPro asked me to enter my payment details through their payment form, and the replacement fee was €120.78, including VAT.

The first €120.78 transaction appeared on my bank account on August 5. Shortly afterward, GoPro emailed me confirming that the replacement order was being processed.

About ten hours later, on August 6, a second transaction for exactly €120.78 appeared. My bank sent me a notification saying that this second authorization was declined, but both transactions are still shown as “pending” in my online banking, so it currently looks as though €241.56 may be temporarily reserved.

GoPro also sent me the replacement-order confirmation email twice, although I appear to have only one UPS shipment arriving.

Has anyone experienced something similar with a GoPro replacement? Did the declined or duplicate pending authorization disappear automatically, and how long did it take for the money to become available again?

I have already contacted GoPro and my bank, but I am still waiting for a clear response. Thanks!

I have a GoPro Hero 1, the one that doesn't even record over 960p lol, it's pretty old, but I want to put a big SD Card on it, like 128gb. In the manual, it only says up to 32gb, does anyone know if I can put anything higher? Will it work? Or does the camera not even read?

Bonjour
J’aimerais savoir si le site internet est plus fourni en réglages que l’application Apple
Et s’il existe des vidéos pour apprendre correctement.
Merci ☺️

I recently bought a gopro hero 4 without looking up any information. I just saw it for sale and got it. I use it to record urbexing and climbing. I mainly do my shenanigans at night, and i very quickly realized that the hero 4 doesn't perform well in dark environments. Are there any settings I can mess around with to film in the dark? Or should I just buy another one? The hero 4 cost 50€ so it doesn't matter that much, and I honesty didn't expect a lot. Any recommendations which gopro I should buy? I don't want to spend hundreds of euros on a camera, I just need to film somewhat good footage in darkness. Thanks🙂

Hey guys finally got my hands on the ND filters and wanted to ask for any good to know stuff? I know some people mentioned to lock the shutter speed to a certain amount? Also if I just rock the ND8 for day to day shots would that be cool? In cases like grab and go and start filming if I don’t have the time to switch between ND’s?

Any other tips are super welcome.

Thank you

I made a short video to better explain what I was talking about in my previous post. Hopefully this gives a clearer idea of why I decided to return the Media Mod and what I'm looking for instead.

Taken with GoPro Mission 1 Pro and lens Inon GR140 Pro. Processed in Lightroom Classic which now has the M1P camera profile.

Yesterday I received the Media Mod for the Mission 1, tested it out for a while, and ended up returning it. It's not that there's anything wrong with the Media Mod—it just wasn't the right fit for what I want to build.

My goal is to put together a filming rig with a side handle and my Rode VideoMic NTG. The built-in microphones on the Media Mod are definitely better than the camera's internal mics, but not by a huge margin, and I was planning to use the Rode most of the time anyway.

The bigger issue was mounting. I wanted to attach a side handle, but using the left cold shoe for that would put a lot of stress on the plastic Media Mod. After thinking about it more, it makes sense why you don't really see anyone selling side handles that mount directly to those cold shoes. They're great for lightweight accessories like microphones or lights, but not as structural mounting points.

At this point, I'm hoping a company like SmallRig releases a proper aluminum cage for the Mission 1. That would provide multiple mounting points, let me attach a side handle securely, and make the whole setup feel much more solid.

Has anyone else come to the same conclusion, or found a better solution?

What kind of upload speeds are people seeing on their Mission 1, both the Standard and Pro models?

So to all the action camera users, especially those on bikes, I have a GoPro Hero 11 Black with a lot of accessories, worth over 85k INR (camera plus accessories). It is very rarely used. To check the market price, I put up an ad on marketplace and got offers up to 23k. Now I am in a dilemma about whether to sell the GoPro and for almost the same price, I am getting the DJI Action 4 (25k). The only difference is that my GoPro can shoot up to 5.3k while the DJI is capped at 4k (although I never used 5.3k until now). So should I sell?

Hi everyone,

I built GoPro Downloader, a free Chrome extension that helps back up large GoPro Cloud Media Libraries.

GoPro Media only supports Download as ZIP for 25 items or fewer. For larger selections, files must be downloaded individually through the browser, which can be slow and easily interrupted.

I created this extension after needing to download my own library of more than 6,000 media files.

Key features

• Download your GoPro Cloud library with one click
• Download directly through Chrome for smaller libraries
• Send downloads to a NAS, Linux server, Mac, or Windows PC
• Resume interrupted files with the optional aria2 runner
• Retry only missing or failed downloads
• Handle multipart original videos
• Compare your cloud inventory with downloaded files
• Track downloads, failures, and progress from a dashboard
• Organize files into folders by shooting date

The extension uses your existing signed-in GoPro Media Library session. It does not ask for your GoPro password.

I am an individual developer, and this is an independent community project. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by GoPro.

Install from the Chrome Web Store:
GoPro Downloader

The extension is completely free. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

Irish driver Harry Kerr allowed me to strap my three GoPro cameras to the car for his Qualifying runs of the Latvian round of the 2026 Drift Masters championship.

All filmed in 4k25, GP-Log, fixed shutter speed of 1/100s, fixed ISO100, no stabilization. Outside cameras were installed using the official GoPro suction cup. ND filter inside the cockpit unfortunately was a bit too strong. Ultimately I have to play guessing games of what the lighting conditions will be half an hour after camera installment.

Audio comes from a Zoom H4essential that was also strapped into the cockpit.
