Awesome tips! I just ordered a session and can't wait to use it :-)
Dope - hope you love it!
Thanks :) I plan to use the time lapse to incorporate them into my videos, how has your experience been with this feature?
It is amazing how many bad videos explaining the usage of an item are around!!! - This video is excellent and should be seen by everybody attempting to explain a product in a video. Thank you for these very practical instructions. I especially like the Velcro bit. :)
Don't forget the butt cheek hold.......this camera fits nice between the butt cheeks especially when your adrenaline is going.
That's a whole different video :D
jack mama EW!! GROSS!!! WUT DA FREAK!!!!!?????
Lol..... Flat butts can't do it.
I tried.
what?
GoPro, get right in the middle of the action.
Thank you for the tips! Just got mine, can't wait to try it.
Awesome! Watch my vacation tips too, after I recorded it, I realized they were more general purpose tips :)
Dude just got this Go pro Hero5 session yesterday. This video was awesome. I am going to use the Velcro tip on my vacation excursions. and the Roll mini. Thanks
You got it dude! Hope you love it...check out one of my latest vids for making a really versatile do it yourself mount!
Nicely done!!
Thanks Kelly! Looks like you just did a GoPro vid recently too - hope you're loving yours :)
Good vid. Thanks for the tips...gotta try some velcro
Great tips!! Thanks!
Great info. Thanks Willie Morris!
Great video!! I need to use my 5 more!!!
Nice tips! Session 4 arrives today from Amazon
The mouth mount is a great hack! I like this tech review video.
lol hilarious... cool stuff lol
just connected my hero 5 session to the gopro Quick app. ( I guess it has been updated) impossible to turn the beeps off. I can turn the LED blink off . but nowhere in set up do I see beep like in your video. I guess because the app has been updated and now the beep can not be turned off. I film wildlife and now the beep scares the animals away. Any solutions. Thanks Mate.
Thank you so much 💖🌷
can you help me because my gopro5 session i can’t load my photos or video i cant see them on my phone.. always telling me that go to ios then setings local networ so i did all that but still i can’t see pictures
I'm a bit late to the party here but would I be correct in saying that the unit will run constantly if plugged into power. e.g. off a usb port on a motorcycle.
Hey Willie, great top5 tips. You rock.
Thanks PJ! 🙂
Thanks for these tips
Your Video is Really Informative & Lovely Brother !
Thank You So Much !
you got it :)
What setting would you recommend for rolling shots of a car?
Great video and tips. I have used this on my plane and on my Harley now. I used the Capture app when I was flying and it worked great! I was able to start the video when I wanted to and not just start it on the ground. Saves battery and SD card space. I will be putting velcro on mine for sure (right side). Thanks Willie!
You got it rory! Check out the video I just posted about the DIY mount, you might find it useful to strap it to things and holds a little more secure than velcro!
Willie Morris s
hello, why my gopro hero session 5 is turned off when I stopped the video or camera. scenario "I open the gopro then it's automatically starting video or camera, then when I stopped it will automatically turned off" it sucked!! please help
I’m still rocking the Hero 5 Session as I’m an aspiring YT…Thanks for the tips…I’ve been shooting in the wrong mode forever. I literally just update my settings!
very well presented - thank you
Wow! A really quality video, love the tips!!
Thanks, hope they help!
Goprohero5
Nice , thanks, have one and didn´t use it yet : Can use an external microphone?
Not with the session, no mic inputs :(
Actually you can if u have the right type-c adapter
Velcro was a good tip! ( as I'm putting away the duck tape😂👍)
Velcro is really underutilized I feel like :)
Off topic, but has anyone told you that you kind of look like the artist Hozier?
Great video and tips! Thanks so much. Happy to have found you - new subscriber ;)
Yay, glad you found it helpful! 😀
Just got a Hero 5 session, great video Willie!
You got it man, hope it's helpful, about time to do an updated video on it! 🙂
Willie, well done, my friend! I purchased and sold my original session prior to even considering getting the Hero 5 Session. As much of a huge GoPro fan that I am, I couldn't bring myself to really love the Hero 5 Session, but I couldn't find the specific reasons to really want it, and debated the issue until I bought one a few days ago. I am actually enjoying what it can do, and it's full functionality. I am STILL getting used to the idea that it has LINEAR view, lol! So thank you for bringing that up as the primary mode. Very helpful video, however, I am not QUITE sold on the velcro idea, but I'm not afraid to try it, or even see if I can put that to good use. You have a new subscriber!
All the best in your endeavors,
Captain Monroe
Huge thanks Capt Monroe - I think you're going to like the velcro trick! It doesn't work for everything, but in a pinch it's great especially on stationary items, just make sure its strong velcro :) Pumped to have you subscribed!
Thanks dude, I didn't know about the different modes, and it's gonna help a lot for my ski vids 😁🤞
DOPE!
Helpful tips. Thanks.
just when you thought you knew it all.. Willie introduces you to Velcro! Thanks Mate!
Velcro is the best, hard drives, go pros, home automation...need to full vlog on my love of velcro
Dude, makes me so happy that this was valuable for you! Checking out the link now
Love your points :)
Thanks Stelios - I appreciate it!
Velcro idea is genius!
Not sure if you'll be able to answer in time but just found your video so helpful! Thanks
We're going to a aviation show (blue angels) & hope to capture it by mounting our go pros on our bike helmets so we can just let them run while we watch so as not to fuss with them & miss seeing something with our own eyes.
Wondering what settings would work best for this & if I might want to slow motion some of it later what setting is best.
Appreciate your advice
Thanks again for this video!
Prob too late, but hope you got it figured out :)
Thanks so much. Great Information. Question? Has anyone had an issue with the GoPro Session getting very Hot while in use. Thanks
You got it :) Mine does get pretty warm sometimes
HI there, great video. I, primarily, use my Go Pro Hero Session 5 and iPhone 6 for most of my filming, as my Nikon D3300 has no viable way for me to have a monitor (that I know of) to see if it is focused or not. Always up for tips and tricks with my GPHS5.
Nice -- yeah the session + phone is definitely plenty for most things :)
Great tips. Thanks for the video.
You got it!
Hi! Could you answer a question everyone seems to forget: audio quality? Not just file format, resolution an so on, but actual build quality of the mics and how much sound pressure they can take before distorting? That's really important to me since rave parties is one of the odd "action recordings" I love to do...and I also happen to be a sound engineer which unfortunately makes me ridiculously sensitive to crappy audio. (Im not after pristine studio quality of course, but can the mics take loudness without distortion?)
Hi Niles, this is an awesome question. I don't know enough about audio to answer these questions though - I do know the mics on the new 5 series GoPros is a lot better than the previous generation, but as far as build quality and sound pressure, I have no idea. If you find out, def let me know, I'm curious now too.
Hey man! Im at this very minute waiting to catch the train to go get the Hero5 Session at the dispatch. Then on to get the blazing Pro Samsung microSDXC card. :)
EDIT Will let you know what I find out. Prepare for a bunch of odd answers to questions you haven't even thought of yet ;-)
Thanks for the settings tips man 😁
No problem 👍
Where do I get the battery as the stock one is not working?
Thx just got my session a few days ago. Most informative I needed to set my GoPro to 2.7 and I had no idea how to do it it
That makes me happy :)
slick willie well done bravo
Thanks Jesus ❤️
Those look like great alternatives to the new Hero 5, been thinking about grabbing one for a secondary perspective in my videos! Solid video, Willie.
They are - I had a GoPro with the LCD screen (one of the Hero 4s), but it was just another thing to break (it did) and GoPros for me should be super simple and basic. Love the Hero 5 Session!
Only thing stopping me from switching over to a session as a main would be external audio options. My Hero 4 Silver is easily (and affordably) rigged up for clean, crisp, in-helmet audio.
Ahhh makes sense. I think the mics on the Hero 5 & Hero 5 session are a natively better than the 4's, but if you have a special setup, that's a whole different story :) What is your setup? Im always curious for GoPro mic setups.
Thanks for your tips!
You got it, glad you enjoyed!
hopefully stabilisation is available in 1080p?
Cool! Tnx!
You got it :)
Great Video! I'm considering getting a go pro session so these may come in use. Thanks! :)
Very welcome - I love my session. Takes a beating and records 4K!
I went full out and bought the Hero 5 Black, my first go pro and impressed from the images.
Nate's Film Tutorials umm... can you... buy me a .... hero 5 black... ill send my session 5 for it?
Velcro with a tether cord is a great shout!
Hi! I don't know if you have already addressed this question but I cannot seem to find an HDMI cable that is compatible with the Session. What do you use?
Good question, you'd have to find something that's HDMI to USB-C , haven't seen one, but check Amazon!
Hi, I found this is really useful video for a GoPro novice like me thank you. I seem to be struggling a bit with battery life on my GoPro sessions 5. Not sure what to expect but it seems a bit disappointing. What should I be expecting?
Make sure voice activation and the wifi connection is turned off if you aren't using those things - they drain battery big time!
Brilliant I'll give that a try thanks
good tutorial, thank you very much
Very welcome!
Should I buy the GoPro hero session 5 or the Xiaomi Mijia 4k?
What's the best setting to take photos with... while you're doing sports? I like using Video+photo because I also like not just video but pictures of the moments of whatever I am playing but the one problem is that the photos are blurry so I don't know what mode I should use to take photos with while GoPro is moving. Or should I just use one of the Photo mode and forget about video?
You have to switch to photo mode for the photos, but you can take frame grabs of 4K video and the quality will be good enough for posting online :)
I stuck mine on my motorcycle helmet and took a ride today and loved the video quality-shot in 2.7K and 30 fps and it looked amazing (with image stabilization). Thanks for the tips. A question: Why do the videos record in short spurts? When I went to download them onto my computer there were around 6 videos of roughly the same size although I never turned the cam off during my ride. Is there a setting I can change to record in one long video? Thanks in advance.
I think that's just the nature of video on a lot of devices. My Canon 80D does the same thing.
;) Luv you Man! You made my life easier and better. You da Man.
Love you dude! That makes me incredibly happy :)
Nice! Velcro tip. I'll try this to attach the session to my drone, as the original harnass on the drone isn't made for session.
Awesome - let me know how it goes!
Thanks Very useful!
You got it!
Superb, thank you.
Very welcome!
Hey I have the same Go pro as yours however I do not have linear options or nothing like that do you know what is happening?
Is it the Hero 5? Also linear mode only works with certain resolutions, so double check your settings :)
Hey mate,
I'm contemplating to get this together with the mic adapter. Are you still satisfied with it?
Yeah, it's still my go-to for a small camera or action stuff, but I wouldn't use it as a primary camera. Will be really interested to see the results with the mic adapter!
Awesome. Thanks for the reply. How about the battery? Is it still holding up? The bad thing is, that it is discontinued. Not sure if they would exchange the battery if needed
Nice thank you pretty helpful actually I am new to this stuff
:D
My go pro doesn't have 2.7K and its the Hero 5 session, how can I fix this
Great video! I just purchased a Hero 5 session. Going on a motorcycle trip soon, excited to see the images and videos I can capture with this unit. What type of Mount do you recommend for the Harley? I'm riding pillion. Thanks!
Awesome! you'll get some great footage. I'd recommend a helmet cam or maybe a way to mount it to the handlebars. I'd mix it up so you have some footage from different angles :)
I like the look of the 4k30 without stabilization, not in every situation, but it looks much more life like. You can also remove the fish eye effect in post, so you can have 4k linear.
Very useful vlog, thanks for the tips etc. One question: I was wondering if the 5 Sessions has an accurate battery level indicator or does it suddenly shut down once it's completely discharged? The 'big' plus of the Sessions for me is its compact size, but (sensibly) having to carry a large charger negates the benefits of having such a tiny camera. Thanks.
For me the battery indicator seems pretty accurate, I always have a small portable charger on me just in case and usually keep it plugged in while I'm in transit though.
Willie Morris Thanks for the info and useful tip, cheers.
Brother I need your help some time I got one problem when I record with the 4K videos sometime I got that problem like GoPro say something .highlight already tanget. Than both button doesn't work than after that I have to wait till the batteries dead
Yikes...not really sure what to tell you. I'd update your firmware and if that doesn't fix it email GoPro!
Is it safe to record with the GoPro if it is plugged to a power source? I have had times when the battery was low but still wanted to be getting footage but was nervous if I could or not. Also, thanks for this video. You answered a couple of other questions I had.
I think it is, I've definitely done it before.
Hi, i need help from you. My hero 5 session doesn’t have “stabilisation”
You're probably using a framerate or resolution that doesn't support stabilization. Can't remember which ones do, but google will tell you. Also make sure firmware is up to date.
So what special times do you use the fisheye setting? I just bought mine today and am having a hard time figuring out how to use it lol
Great question - I use mine if I'm doing something really active and I want to 100% make sure I get everything in the frame. Or, if I just want that fisheye effect, sometimes I think it adds to the shot. Kind of a personal preference though :)
Thanks for the reply!!
For sure, I try to respond to all comments :) @morewillie on social if you need any help!
just a random question how can i stop the beeping sounds when i press buttons or i turn on the gopro?
Think there is a setting in the app
thanks
do you have a good way to see at night with the hero 5 sessions?
I'm using it in my truck at night and can't see shit, even after going with different settings.
Are you talking about the video being too dark or just trying to adjust the menu? If you're talking about the video, it's def not great in low light. I'd recommend something like a Lume Cube or something
Willie Morris thank you
I need that bag!!
It's so solid!
I just bought a Hero Sessions 5. I love it. I am looking for a good night lapse video with this camera.
If you make one, love to see it!
I mounted one on the hood of my car. Not to great. It was a driving video. Keep checking out my Channel. One may appear.
I running the Gopro hero session 5. After filming a short clip on video, the play back plays back in stagger pictures frames. How do I avoid this for a smooth play back? Regards Mike
Sounds like maybe your MicroSD card isn't fast enough to capture the data. Make sure it's fast enough - maybe try another one. If it's still jumpy, you may have gotten a defective camera.
I just ordered this session 5 hero. does it support 1080p90fps stabilization?
99% sure it does, but I dont have mine with me right now to check.
Willie Morris well.. I bought this last night specificly for these specs and it's size. hopefully I won't be disappointed lol
Any way to quickly upload vid to an iPad2? The Bluetooth is sooo slow. I have a cable but haven’t discovered a method of transfer.
New ipads support external media so you could get a microSD card reader :)
i just bought one last night. i am already having problems. what type of SD card do you use
Yikes! I generally try to find SD cards with the fastest read/write speeds. What problems are you having?
my gopro session 5 was turning off. and sometimes overheating. Im using a sanDisk extreme plus.. 32GB Speed up to 95mb/s 633x. I reset the gopro settings and formatted the SD card.. I took it on a trip for 4 days and is working fine with no issues.
I had the same issue with mine the day I bought it - yesterday. Woke up this morning ready to take it back to Best Buy, but it's working fine.
There kinda different mine has a couple of problems some times it's just the sd card the same card would make the go pro not turn on I switched the card and it worked fine
You are doing a great job, keep it up. I also have the hero session 5 but it is so hard for me to edit the videos, how do you edit the ones that you film with your GoPro?
I edit in premiere pro :)
Good vid thumbs upp
Thanks Jules :D
Thx bro
jajaja the mouth tip is the best tip i've got so far for using the sessions 5 :D
It works so good! 😂😀
Good idea about Velcro, but in that line of thought, the 3M locking adhesive strips would be better I think. Thanks for the idea!!
Oh yeah, dual lock is the brand name of the locking adhesive I think - it's solid too!
How do I record audio?
Linear mode seems a little more unstable?
Thanks for some very helpful tips. I love the session! Do you know whether the Session 5 can take an external microphone?
It can't as far as I know.
I know this comment is 3 years old but in case you’re still wondering.. yes it can now take a mic…but you need to buy the 💰adapter. No way around it.
what memory card do u use? an does the camera get hot while you use it? tnx ia
Can't remember what brand is in there right now, but it does get hot sometimes.
can you have it plugged into a power bank and still use the camera?
What do you suggest to use to attach the velcro on the camera without risking it getting peeled off?
I use industrial strength so the adhesive is pretty tough, but you could glue it on if you really wanted it to be permanent.
Can you get stabilization with 1080p 60fps
Yes - I'm like 99% sure you can.
Yeah, u can
Dayne Williams yeah, you can I use those settings for skiing and it's pretty good
I charged the camera 2 days ago so today I plugged it into a socket with the cable that came with the camera light came on but did not blink just a solid red light....does that mean it is fully charged?
Henry, Im not 100% sure, I dont remember off the top of my head.
I think the light goes off when its fully charged 😊
I use the same settings like you. 2.7K Giro ON FOV linear. But I have a problem with overheating. I can record only about 5 mins. at once. Then camera become very hot and it turns off. Is it normal or what? I think if it could be the SD card. I have SanDics Ultra. Any suggestions?
Weird...I'd bring it back if you haven't had it for awhile. It def shouldnt be overheating like that.
The problem was in card. It was not enough fast.
Hello, I have a call, what to buy? Hero Session, 4, Session 5, or Sony Hdr S50? Or some Recommendations up to 300E? .Thank you !!
It really depends on what you plan on doing with it. I'd definitely for the Session 5 over the session 4 though.
Strictly, for the car, and for holidays, not BIKE, Thanks
Personally, I like the Session 5 but I've never used the Sony. I have seen positive comments on Yi's action cam, too though.
Mouth is the best place to hold your go pro....hahaha! Nice video mate
Hi there. Can you recommend me a software to edit 4K videos? I tried some free editors but none of them was able to work with so large files. THX.
Adobe Premiere or Final Cut or iMovie
Thank you
Can you view it on android phone?
Thanks for the 5 tips!!
You got it Ed!
