Make sure the GoPro is charged. Charge the GoPro by using provided USB connector and plugging it into a computer. You can also use the GoPro wall or automobile charger.

If the GoPro still does not charge, please use the microSD/Micro USB Port Assembly Replacement guide to replace your assembly. A poor connection inside the Micro USB port may prevent your GoPro from charging.

Older computers do not have the hardware to support HD playback. Ensure your computer can play the video by checking if it meets the GoPro Studio Software minimum requirements here.

You can have choppy video playback if you play the video streamed from the camera over USB. What this means is if you have the camera connected to a computer by the USB cable and you play the video from the files on the camera, without transferring the file to your computer, it can come out choppy. This is due to the USB connection not being fast enough to play the HD video back in real time. Before playing back a HD video, copy or transfer the file from your GoPro to your computer, then playback the video.

For those wondering what gopro cameras THIS specific kit is for, it"s for the hero 3+/hero 4. It mounts to the back of the 3+/4 as pictured and comes with 3 back doors for the hero 3+/4 housing. 3 doors included; 1 skeleton(open to touch the screen directly), 1 waterproof touch case(has a thin plastic membrane in the back to touch the screen with but is only waterproof to 3m/10"), and the full waterproof back(functions as normal waterproof back. screen not touchable but is view-able). the extra side button is for turning the display on, playback mode, and off. overall it"s very easy to use and go through menus to change settings.

I like that I can now frame my shots better and see what I"ve recorded. it adds some thickness to the camera but i"m not concerned about it. I"d only use to it line up shots and see how they came out. it doesn"t need to be on all the time... to conserve battery life. I don"t know how it effects battery life yet, but i"m not too worried about that. I use a telesin 1300mAh/4.81Wh aftermarket battery with the gopro hero 3+ factory(1180mAh/3.885Wh) battery as backup with my 3+ silver.

"The LCD Touch BacPac backdoor has a thin plastic film across the back that lets you use the BacPac"s touch functionality even while in the housing. The backdoor"s thin plastic film can however be damaged if there is a big difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the waterproof housing. It"s important that you are aware of the conditions that can cause this, so that you take the necessary precautions to prevent damage to the film.

If you plan to use the camera in any such scenarios, we recommend that you do not use the LCD touch door, but rather the fully sealed waterproof door or skeleton back door.

Kit comes with a short mount extension. Out of the box gopros come with a 90 degree turned extension. This one is straight. Also, double-tapping the screen goes between live view and playback. Holding the side display button for 3 seconds turns it off.

GoPro HERO10 and now the HERO9 has a critical software flaw that can "brick" the camera. We informed GoPro Inc. about this flaw in December. We got confirmation of receipt from them but it took until March to get any kind of traction.

If you connect more than six different devices to your GoPro HERO10, the camera will continuously resets on its own. Be warned, your friend who wirelessly downloads footage on to their phone using GoPro Quik counts towards this total. For this reason, skydivers are starting to see this bug a lot!

If you have multiple BLE connections and then upgrade your camera to v1.70 firmware, after 8 hours your camera will green screen then reboot. This is being called the GoPro Green Screen of Death. I believe this is the cause, but GoPro is absolutely horrible on letting their customers know what is the root cause of issues.

It"s an easy fix for cameras that are fresh from the factory, but for us who actually use them, the process is extensive. This is also why I"m assuming GoPro Inc. hasn"t taken this issue seriously (up to this point April 2022). My guess is engineers are testing with sterile cameras, the same BLE device, or using the same sequence each time.

Sorry, I can"t personally help out every one with support. If you contact GoPro Inc. you should be able to RMA your camera. My suggestion is to ask a friend to go through all the steps again. If that fails, contact GoPro for assistance.

I"m available for paid consulting if necessary but it will cost you more than a new camera. In other words, I am not GoPro Support and have no affiliation with them. In fact...

The GoPro App is now officially mind-blowing. The Quikstories feature will magically sync your GoPro footage and automatically transform them into an awesome video, ready to share your story on social media. To jump on board this phenomenon you need to locate your GoPro wifi default password, and master pairing your GoPro to your phone.

So why do you need to know how to find/reset your GoPro wifi password anyway? Sometimes you want to pair with your phone to stream media, and something goes wrong. In this case, a password reset might be on the cards.

Forgetting your GoPro default password can be frustrating, particularly on GoPro Hero4 and earlier. The newer models like the Hero5 Black, Hero6 Black, Hero7 Black, Hero8 Black, Hero9 Black, Hero10 Blackand Hero11 Black make it easy to find the password.

Even older models can be somewhat more challenging. Read on to find out how to check your connection settings, and how to reset your GoPro wifi password. This is going to help you big time to pair with your mobile device and to connect wirelessly to the amazing GoPro App or Quik app. Check it out.

GoPro tells us that some cameras are set up with a factory password (“goprohero“). If you own a Hero3 & Hero3+ just enter the GoPro Hero3 default password “goprohero“, and you’re in business.

However, the newer models like my GoPro Hero5, Hero6, Hero7, Hero8, Hero9, Hero10 and Hero11 have a unique wifi password created, for example, band6123.

The Hero5, Hero6, Hero7, Hero8, Hero9, Hero10 and Hero11 are a breeze. Hero4 is more challenging, and Hero3 is unusual. Read on for simple instructions. If your camera is not shown on the below list, here are the GoPro official instructions to reset the wifi password for each different model.

The Main reason to pair your GoPro is to access the great GoPro app. Overall pairing is quite a simple process, and you probably won’t even need to enter your wifi password. I did not need to enter a password at all to pair an iPhone with Apple IOS 11 and a GoPro Hero5 Black.

I definitely recommend you pair your GoPro with the GoPro App (formerly named Capture). I’ve used plenty of apps produced by other camera companies, and the GoPro App is by far the smoothest I have seen. Altogether the app has some really neat features, no doubt each person will favour different features. And it’s perfect for your travel videos.

In fact of all the ways to updates your GoPro firmware, the GoPro App is definitely the easiest. I particularly like the easy viewing of camera videos, updating Protune settings, the Quikstories feature, and of course the firmware upgrade.

In summary, make sure you try pairing your GoPro to your smartphone or tablet to open up a whole new world of functionality. By and large the GoPro Hero5, Hero6, Hero7, Hero8, Hero9, Hero10 and Hero11 are very slick action cameras with a seamless interface to the awesome GoPro app. Also pairing with your phone is a breeze, and the wifi is very easy to check or change.

Quik was one of the main marketing drives of the flagship GoPro Hero 6 Black, and the “next big thing” with GoPro. You really owe it to yourself to master your GoPro wifi default password settings and get on board this awesome pairing of your GoPro to Quik. Your Facebook and Instagram live community will thank you later.

Sooner or later you may like to compare prices, and specifications, or even purchase a GoPro. With this in mind, here are some Amazon links that help you make a quick comparison.

By stripping down the GoPro Hero 6 and removing all the unnecessary parts you can reduce the weight drastically from 117g to 17g. This enables a cinewhoop, or even smaller FPV drone to carry the decased GoPro with ease.

This guide will be focusing on the GoPro Hero 6. I have another post just for the Hero 8, the GoPro Hero 9, and Naked GoPro Hero 10 (officially made by GoPro)

A small 3″ or even 2″ FPV drone, like the Beta85X, can easily carry a decase GoPro, with AUW (all up weight) well under 250g – the legal weight limit for registration in many countries.

Therefore GoPro Hero 8 is another great option. In fact it’s better in terms of image quality and stabilization options – you can use either Reelsteady or the built-in Hypersmooth. However it is a bit more expensive than the 6 as it’s a newer camera.

Update (July 2020): You don’t have to decase GoPro, you can make a naked GoPro from spare parts, but the problem is spare parts are not always available.

connect USB module to logic board, then connect USB cable, hold down power button to see if the GoPro powers on, is there image showing on the screen?

The GoPro logic board takes 5V only, the best way is to use a BEC (aka voltage regulator, it takes the high voltage from LiPo and convert it down to 5V).

It’s more reliable to have a dedicated BEC. You might be able to power it from your flight controller, but I don’t recommend it because the lack of current may cause the gopro to reboot or stop recording randomly.

With the BEC board from BetaFPV, you can power your GoPro directly from a LiPo battery (2S to 4S) as it has a built-in 5V BEC. It sits directly on top on the main board and have a small profile.  It breaks out the buttons and LED and solder pads, making it super convenient to use. You can use this on the GoPro Hero 6 and 7 Logic board.

Filtered power to the GoPro is never a bad idea. However, the common issue with most of these BEC boards is that it allows a much higher voltage spike to make it through, while it’s only supposed to provide 5V.

To use the battery connector on the main board to power the GoPro, you’d have to destroy the original battery and get the PCB inside to wire the + and -, and it’s not always reliable therefore we do not recommend it.

If you still want to do so, make sure the voltage does not exceed 4.4V. You also need to use the PCB inside the original battery because one wire is for 1wire comm for the gopro to detect a valid battery. Also it seems the battery connector uses red as GROUND and blue as POWER, this should be double checked.

Connect PWR pad to GND. See Yellow line at top right corner of the pinout diagram. As soon as you give it power, the GoPro will turn on. This emulates the power button being pressed permanently.

1. Connect the REC pad on the GoPro to your flight controller, and configure it in Betaflight, so you can start and stop recording with a switch on the radio; However I’ve found this to be unreliable, sometimes it works great, sometimes it doesn’t. According to Jaro Meyer, PinIO in Betaflight initializes in high state and causing the GoPro into DFU mode, and you will get a solid red LED, and the GoPro doesn’t respond to anything. Restarting the GoPro usually fixes it, but with the Hero 7, it might stuck in DFU mode so avoid using this hack.

Note: Some people believe connecting the GoPro to the FC is unsafe, while some don’t trust the BetaFPV BEC board either. I’ve personally tested all these methods and all seem to work. Anyway use whatever you want, and do so at your own risk.

If you don’t see the GoPro WiFi network, it’s possibly not switched on. Here is how to turn on the GoPro Hero 6 WiFi automatically upon power-up. It’s only tested on GoPro 6 (FW 1.6).

You will need the wifi password in order to do this. You can get the Wifi password by attaching the touch screen to the GoPro, under Connectivity menu. You might also be able to find it on your phone’s saved network if you connected to the GoPro before.

You can use the ND filter designed fro the Mavic Zoom on the naked GoPro Hero 6. The form factor makes more sense for both aerodynamics and weight, and it doesn’t come off easily in crashes.

Make sure you check in the GoPro App preview to ensure the image is not over-exposed (or use computer to check footage if you don’t have GoPro App). By the way, I think it’s better to be under exposed than over-exposed, as it’s more likely to recover the detail, and also it’s less likely to get oscillations in your footage.

This mod is awesome, by putting the backLCDin this 3D printed case, it becomes a detachable touch screen for the naked GoPro. It’s designed to be used with the BetaFPV GoPro Lite Case V2.

The challenging part is removing all the plastic around the touch screen. I basically use this case and follow its instruction to do this mod: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4791475

I’d recommend getting a drone that’s designed to carry the GoPro rather than building it from scratch. It’s way harder, and repair is a nightmare speaking from experience :)

The Beta85X (85mm) and Beta95X (95mm) frames are probably the most popular frames for naked GoPro builds. The Beta85X supports 2″ propellers, while the Beta95X supports slightly larger 2.5″. The number 85 and 95 are the distance between the diagonal motors.

There is no LED indicator, so you won’t know whether you are recording or not. It could be annoying to only find out you didn’t record anything after an epic flight. It’s best if you put an LED on your naked GoPro as we explained here.

Naked GoPro’s are fragile due to the lack of housing. The ribbon cables can tear, therefore take good care when attaching/unplugging connectors. For those connectors that don’t need to be disconnected you may want to use some kind of removable glue (E6000?).

You can mount the GoPro flat and bend the camera ribbon cable so the camera faces forward. Reelsteady Go will work, but it won’t work with horizon lock. To use horizon lock in this case, you have to patch the raw footage first (How? See section “Lock Horizon” in this article)

If you power down the GoPro without stopping recording, the file will be corrupted and you will lose your footage. Make sure you stop recording before disconnecting your battery.

If you decided to invest in this project, do prepare for the worst as things don’t always go your way. Decase GoPro is extremely flimsy and fragile, a damaged lens module and motherboard costs $70 to $100 each to replace. I have damaged 1 GoPro board so far which I consider pretty lucky compared to some others :)

Their newest camera has just hit the market, and we have been busy putting it to the test to bring you this comprehensive GoPro HERO 10 review! Find our what all the new features are, where it shines (and where it doesn’t), as well as an honest opinion on whether the GoPro HERO10 is worth the upgrade.

We live and breathe photography, videography, and most of all, adventure. So of course once this new camera hit the market we had to dive into the specs and use it out in the real world to bring our expert GoPro HERO10 Black review.

There are two slogans for the GoPro HERO 10 Black this year. The first is ‘A New Era’, which is a pretty massive claim for a company that has been at the leading edge of action sports cameras for over a decade.

The GP2 on the GoPro HERO10 brings about some enormous upgrades around things like frame rates and overall performance, while the general features like photo and video modes stay mostly the same as the previous model.

SPECIAL DEAL: GoPro has an incredible special on their new camera right now, and you can save a huge $210 on the fantastic ‘HERO10 Black + Accessories’ bundle deal by clicking on the button below, or save $150 on just the HERO10 camera. This special is for a limited time only, so check it out while it’s available.

A New Era of GoPro is here and that means there are a whole string of new features and upgrades when you compare the HERO10 with the HERO 9 Black action cameras.

Even though the GoPro HERO9 last year finally revealed a new upgraded 23 megapixel sensor, using the old processor meant that it could only achieve 20 megapixels.

Compared to the HERO9, the GoPro HERO10 Black now has double the performance and double the frame rate across all of the higher resolution video modes.

It is now twice as smooth when reviewing footage and using live preview on the front LCD screen, and the rear LCD touchscreen interface is incredibly responsive.

And to top it all off, it’s just overall much, much faster to use. It’s quicker to launch, quicker to start taking photos and videos, and touch sensitivity is more responsive.

If this was the only improvement we found in our GoPro HERO10 review, we’d already be singing its praises and telling you that you need to stop what you’re doing and order one now. But of course, there’s more…

But if you’re a professional user, we recommend shooting in RAW mode to full make the most out of the 23 megapixels the GoPro HERO 10 boasts with image quality.

This isn’t necessarily something that we’d consider pushes GoPro into a ‘new era’, but it’s been a massive annoyance for us for years and are so glad they’ve improved it.

GoPro photos and videos have always looked great when shooting on bright, sunny days. But they’ve often fallen apart when it comes to low light situations, such as dawn, dusk or indoors.

Noise and grain isn’t so much of a problem now, and details are fantastic, even in low light. It may seem minor, but it was something we really wanted to highlight in our GoPro HERO10 review.

Well GoPro practically killed off their own product when they introduced HyperSmooth into the HERO7, their own version of digital image stabilization.

The touch screen is a lot smoother and more responsive, and this was actually our biggest gripe with the HERO9. While it looked great, the touch screen was very frustrating to use. Not an issue any more on the HERO10.

It may have taken more than a decade of versions to figure out, but finally the GoPro HERO10 Black is on par with professional expectations with how it performs day to day.

The camera itself is great, but what has always set GoPro apart from other companies is the sheer number of accessories you can attach to them, allowing you to use the camera in just about any situation you can set your imagination to.

Besides the dazzling array of random accessories like suction cups, selfie sticks, dive housings, clamps, helmet and board mounts and plenty more, it’s the ‘Mods’ of the last few years that have helped turn the GoPro cameras into a versatile beast.

Then there are the Light Mod (adds a light, surprise surprise) for when shooting indoors or at night, and a Display Mod, which adds another screen so you can see yourself, but the latter is kind of redundant now thanks to the front-facing LCD screen.

But before you rush out and buy one based on a bunch of fancy talk like GP2 processors and 5.3k60fps, how does the GoPro HERO10 Black actually perform in the real world?

The very first thing we noticed was that the camera fired up a lot faster than the HERO9, and the screen responsiveness did indeed seem a lot smoother and quicker.

The GoPro HERO10 LCD touch screen almost felt as smooth as our iPhone, which is pretty remarkable. So much so that it made us even more frustrated with the screen performance on the 9.

One of the big things we noticed too was how much more quickly the GoPro captured and processed these images, especially in RAW mode, compared to the HERO9.

When we pulled the images up on Adobe Lightroom to check them out we were very impressed with the clarity and colour rendering that the GoPro produced.

Now we don’t want to go jumping the gun just yet, because GoPros have had freezing issues forever, even with every firmware update, but the fact that we haven’t experienced this yet may just mean that the new GP2 chip has finally rectified this massive problem. Hallelujah!

Overall the GoPro HERO10 Black handles like an absolute beast in the real world, and we will be using this new camera on every single shoot we do from now on.

Like we said at the beginning of this article – this is an HONEST GoPro HERO10 review. And being honest means we’re going to tell you exactly what we don’t like about the latest camera too.

Second is that there is no optical zoom on the GoPro HERO 10. You can utilise the digital zoom, and change the digital lenses between SuperView, Wide, Linear and Narrow, but there isn’t any real optical zoom there.

We would have love to see at least 2x optical zoom built in, because sometimes you just want a different perspective for your shots rather than the typical GoPro fish-eye look.

There is a Max Lens Mod, which widens the point of view, so it makes us wonder if at some point GoPro can create a switchable lens that crops in. But at this stage you’re stuck with the digital options.

Other than that there really isn’t anything glaring at us that we dislike in our GoPro HERO 10 Black review. But if we notice anything as time goes on we’ll be sure to return to this article and update it.

Now that we’ve dove deep into what’s new, what we like (and what we don’t) in this GoPro HERO 10 Black review, you may be wondering whether it’s worth upgrading your camera, if you have an older model.

As you can see, the GoPro HERO 10 Black on the surface appears to be similar to previous models, using quite a lot of the same features, but it’s under the hood that everything sees improvements.

You’ve read through our review, have a solid understanding of the new features and capabilities of the GoPro HERO10, and if you haven’t already made a decision on whether to buy it or not, we’re going to help you out right now.

If you don’t already have a GoPro and are wondering whether or not you should bite the bullet and get one, then 100% yes, the HERO10 is worth the money!

You can literally connect your camera to the GoPro Quik app on your phone, wirelessly sync your footage, edit photos, make videos (using their ready-to-go templates), and in a matter of minutes you have epic content ready to upload straight to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Facebook as soon as you have an internet connection!

Every part of the camera has been given an upgrade, and especially for people who like to vlog or take selfies, you’ll find the front LCD display a huge game changer over the HERO 8.

In previous years we have always said that if you are using the previous GoPro camera, then unless you’re a professional user, it’s not worth upgrading.

You’ve made it to the end of our GoPro HERO10 review, and considering the features, quality, durability, size, design, ease of use and of course the price, we’ve decided to give it a massive 9/10.

Thanks very much for reading our GoPro HERO10 Black review. If you have any questions please leave a comment below and we’ll answer them as soon as possible.

The GoPro HERO10 is a huge upgrade over the HERO9 thanks to the brand new GP2 processor, which doubles the performance, speed, responsiveness and frame rates of the camera over the previous model.

If you have the 8 model or earlier, or use your GoPro more than twice a week, then it is definitely worth upgrading to the GoPro HERO10 to make full use of the new GP2 processor.

With the new 23mp sensor being powered by the GP2 processor and full RAW capabilities, the GoPro HERO 10 is a fantastic camera for taking still photos.

We break down every spec, feature and comparison with previous models in our honest GoPro HERO 10 review by taking it out the field and testing if its worth...
