GoPro Hero 10 recording on EXTERNAL POWER FIX | NOT ENOUGH POWER Error | MUST WATCH BEFORE BUYING
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Hey guys, this is a quick video on how I’m able to use my GoPro Hero 10 with an external power bank for all day power. Previously, I was getting an error message telling me to use a 5v/2.1a charger which I was. Anyhow, this is a 2nd GoPro 10 and I was able to bypass this by doing 1 simple thing: not updating the gopro. The software version I’m using is 01.40. I believe the most current version available is 01.42.

You nailed the issue. I ran into the same issue with the Hero 10 Black. I have all my GoPro cameras about to be sold. I am done with GoPro. They know about the issue, they simply refuse to do anything about it. So, I am going with a different camera. You are correct though in that this is a software issue, version issue. Selling the side door with an opening makes no sense unless like you mentioned… the cameras are too expensive to pay for and not be able to use adequately. GoPro gonna have to feel the pain before they fix it. Shame. I agree these cameras are not meant to record for long periods. For all my channel stuff I have actually gone back to my old Nikon CoolPix P520, or my iPhone. The action camera industry can be and do better than GoPro, and they should. Thanks for video, for reaching out to GoPro, and actually addressing the issue. Thanks.
THANKS! I used a GP8 for two yrs using external battery 5 hrs without issue. Just got a 10 and I get that error message. Couldn't figure out why I would return from a 3 hr mc ride and the battery was less than half.
Just checking my 1 hr of footage today via Quik, the camera was a hot 106 degrees, and it was only on 15 minutes in my 70 degree house. Never had this much over heating issues with the GP8.
It's crappy, but a work around is to just remove the battery door, insert battery AND plug it in, then once you hit record you can pull the internal battery and it will keep recording just fine on the external.
They seem to have refined the amp checking algorithm. Cheap cables can trigger that even with a battery bank that puts out 3 amps.
The big thing I noticed with 1.42 is it fixes the boot loop issue and they now won't let the camera run with the old mic adapter and no battery, just gives a message and shuts down.
I have a thin usb cable and it won't work with any USB power bank and it did before, now only better quality cables work with no battery installed.
Thanks for the info! I almost switched to a 7 just to avoid the hassle. Useless for my purpose if I can’t use external power w/o a battery…
@@WannaFishAllDay , I have been messing with this and found if I cycle the power off and on twice it works. First time it gives the message, the turn it off and on and keep cable installed and voila it works.
Definitely related to 1.42
Thanks for the heads up!
I use mine riding a motorbike so I plug in a USB external charger (+5v/2.1a using Gopro 10 cable) but often I need to 'kickstart' to power on by inserting a battery first, then the cable, then removing the battery (yawn). So then we're good, right? NOT. I click record for a minute etc then if I want to click record again say a few mins later, the Gopro has powered OFF.... So, to restart the gopro, I need to re-plug in the USB charging cable AND also re-insert the battery first (because many times only THEN will the usb charger will work) Then rinse-repeat every few minutes..... Zzzzzzz (Gopro 10 version 1.46 btw)
Define 'quality cable'. I am using a Anker Powerline+ USB-C to USB 3.0 Cable (6ft/1.8m) [2-Pack], High Durability.
I have a Go Pro Hero 10 updated to latest firmware.
Samsung 10,000mah fast charge external battery bought directly from Samsung's website.
I have to have the battery in, and external power hooked up, door removed or use the bypass door, then start recording, then pull the battery out and SOMETIMES. not always, it continues recording on external battery.
I would consider this cable to be 'high quality'.
Two days ago I purchased a Hero 10 and had the same issue. By the way I also used it with the Media Mod and I got a message saying that I need to install the Go Pro Battery, something that is a no no when using external power. Since I was not able to find a solution to the issue I returned it. I have other Go Pros, two 8 and one 9, and I have never had this issue. I do kayak fishing also, what a coincidence, and the external battery I use is the Dakota Lithium and it last forever. Now that I see your video, maybe it was the solution, but too late. I am considering the GoPro 12, but I don't know if it has the same issue or if it was resolved.
Tuning in 💕💕❤️
I just picked up the Juicebox, made by yolotek, and it let me record 6 straight hours. The camera can be mounted directly to it.
Get a battery with USB type C output. Connect the battery to Gopro hero10 with the USB-C to USB-C cable will work without the battery error message, even with the latest firmware update. Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable also works.
Thanks David. That makes sense. This is a good fix if you have a USB-C connection. If you don’t have or want to upgrade to USB-C, the method I discussed is still a valid option.
Mine doesn’t work this way either
Tuning in fam.. 🐟🐟🐟
watching here 🥰 always support 🤗
Good info sharing..... Thanks.... Same isue i face..... I thought my gopro 10 is faulty.... But your vidro see.... Its clear
I use my gopro enduro battery charger cord,but not sure if that has anything to do with it,but even with that cord I found out I had to wait about 15 seconds or so after I plug in my power bank.I think it takes the gopro 10 time to get the p I were to the sensor or something.Im using a 3amp power pack.When I was first plugging it in I would turn the gopro on right away and it would say low power and shut off.I think it's all in the waiting before turning it on.This tes I'm 5.3k 30 l.Im at 40 min know over heat and going still.
Crazy all the things we have to do to use a power bank. Thanks for sharing
After last updates go pro need at least 2.4A to work without a battery inside. So maybe a bigger amper output for external battery will help.
Hindsight doesn't work without an installed battery, is that right?
I don’t know.
Get an Osmo action first one that came out. I plugged into an external battery with a 256 GB card it will record all day long no problems no overheating it’s very good for fishing videos. Way too many problems with gopro‘s I give up on them.
Please hold your phone horizontally 😊
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
I have the same problem and I've been wondering on how to fix it. I am going to see if I can download the old software and re-install it on the GoPro and see if that fixes it. Thank you
Go check out yolotek’s channel. I think they figured out how to revert back to previous software versions.
Operate it with internal and external battery connected. Start recording and then remove the internal battery without any problem . Also without battery the camera is ventilating and not stopping for hours of recording.
that is helpful. Thank you for the idea
Good info: Two questions: first, where can I get an outboard battery pack like that, and how much do they cost? Secondly, can you run the GoPro without a battery inserted, just off AC power? Thanks!
The battery pack was purchased on amazon. Yes, I run the gopro without a battery.
@@WannaFishAllDay thanks!
works with media mod and no battery?
🤷🏻♂️ I don’t have a media mod.
What battery pack is that you are using and is that what you recommend?
Hey Mark! I’m a big fan of Anker battery packs. The one in the vid wasn’t great besides the heavy duty case. The Anker 313 power bank is great. I also use a Anker powercore 20000 (solar) and it’s fantastic depending on your needs.
@@WannaFishAllDay I do offroad and hiking and find that during offroading I frequently run out of internal battery power, or it just overheats and stops. I'd like to put the power in the vehicle and run a usb cable to the camera. Is there a length that the cable does o work or is it solely depend on cable quality? Thanks, love the video.
I only use the gopro cables but any quality cable should be fine. If possible, I would go with a USB-C.
updated mine to the latest version yesterday, still getting the error message, 10 generations and they cant figure it out yet, sickening
That’s terrible. Some folks left some comments on how they got it to work after the update. I have not updated mine but it may be worth it to check it out.
@Wanna Fish All Day 2 of my 10s work now but 1 just won't
That’s odd
@@WannaFishAllDay , that's gopro for ya
Unfortunately I agree lol
Your GoPro will power off . Connect to a 5v/2A power source or higher to use your GoPro without a battery.
My GoPro 11 also says this after update can I solve this problem.
Just uce type c to type c
Same issue here. Is there a fix?
Doesn’t sounds like it.
Watching ❤
I just found out yesterday that You need to have a 2A compatible usb cable and also, most of the power bank has only one port has 2A , not all two ports .
Try to use the cable come with GoPro and try to connect different ports of your usb bank, and you will figure out which port has 2A power
Still didn’t work for me even with a 2A brick and cable.
@@WannaFishAllDayyou are right, it doesn't work for me anymore even without upgrading the software. Sometimes works and sometimes doesn't
My Hero 9 works with external battery with or without internal battery. The 10 is finicky at best. If I unplug and replug the USB at the external battery, the 5v/2.1 msg doesn't come up. I too am a fisherman that want's all day battery. I'm running a test right now and will report back, I haven't' gone to 1.42 and probably won't. I'm running the 9 and the 10 on the same external battery without internal battery and both are working fine. Only 15 mins in. I find that unplugging and re-plugging the USB is my fix for now when I get the msg. Cheers.
Do we know if this was ever fixed? I just bought a GPH10B and I plan on running it off straight USB-C power from vehicle with no battery.
Sorry, I don’t know.
@@WannaFishAllDay It's ok I know the answer now. It can be done if you run a couple updates of the GoPro Labs software. Works great just need to do a little software fiddling to make it work. But it's all GoPro's own software so it's legit.

I have the same problem with my gp12.
Mine has this issue. It won’t even turn on so I can see what version software I have. I’ve no idea how to make it charge or work at all..???
Yeah, it’s a big miss by GoPro. I would give them a ring if you haven’t done so already. If it’s not turning on or even charging the battery, it may be toast.
@@WannaFishAllDay if I take battery out and plug it in it comes up with the 5v/2a sign. It still tries to upload footage to the cloud though. I’ve only had it about 4 months!
If you are using the gopro app, there’s a good chance you’ve upgraded the software. I’ve read about folks being able to revert back to previous software versions but never tried it.
@@WannaFishAllDay I managed to get around the issue by taking battery out and plugging in, the warning sign appeared and the GoPro powered off. Then with it still plugged in, i slotted the battery back in, and it started charging! It’s been fine ever since
@@eddgaiger951 GreatEdd but did your Gopro power on again (after a couple mins idle) when you click record again without repeating the whole process? Say you're riding a motorbike as I do. You click record on the first set of corners, all good but then a couple mins later the GoPro has idled and to restart you have to stop your bike, reinsert the battery, reinsert the cable, rinse repeat. Try doing this every few miles on a day long bike trip.... zzzzz
Watching here 👍👌
thanks
You're welcome!
There's a QR code from GoPro labs that will turn off that low current warning. GoPro's USB PD negotiation reporting is screwed up.
Awesome! Thanks for the info!
very informative, i had similar issues 👋
Does it ever overheat(and turn off) while recording with power bank?
Sometimes if the outside temp is really high
Nice go pro 👌
Watching
Hello have a great day.. 💕💕💕
Holy smokes you are bringing in so many bots in the comments 😂 never seen something like that. But great tip on the battery 🔋 and software update. Thanks for sharing and until the next one ✌🏼 buddy 🤝🏼.
INIU 10 000 mah powerbank (the one with the paw) works with the Hero 10 even if you have the newest firmware
Good to know.
No problem! The INIU 20 000 mah version works as well but with a USB C to USB C cable, I am using Jsaux brand
Amazing
This is great information that I definitely needed for my videos! Thanks man!
My pleasure bro!! Tight lines!
That firmware message is intended to protect your gopro from damaged over current and under current. I have 8, 9 and 12. For my 12, I used 2.1 amp power bank output and my 8 and 9. I used 1.1 amp output. I used them for my dash cam. Sometime 12 give me overheat problem in warm weather thereforeI mounted the 12 right at my car ac vent. It fix the overheat issue.
Nice
Happens to me, too! But I cannot update without the error message interrupting. I have 1.40 as well. BTW, I cannot charge my battery.
GoPro really dropped the ball on this one. Yours sounds defective if you can’t even charge the battery.
@@WannaFishAllDay I did a factory reset and it changed nothing. This has been widely reported for almost a year now and they have done nothing. I actually bought stock in this company when they went public. They should send new GoPro 11s to everyone who bought a Hero10. Move the factory to Texas or Florida.
@@WannaFishAllDay Just go my battery to start charging. I did another factory reset. Power off and power on several times. Woo hoo!
Woo hoo!! Have u tried getting a replacement?
@@WannaFishAllDay If I got this one working I prefer not going through that again. I'll hang on to it and see what happens. Thanks for your post! Misery loves company ).
Just got off the phone with the folks at GoPro about this issue. They mentioned your name. (Just kiddin.) (Not about talking with them, about mentioning your name.)
🤣 hopefully they resolved it lol.
@@WannaFishAllDay No, she is sending me a new GoPro charge cable though. I went through charging scenarios with her on the phone as I was doing them. I also mentioned the Media Mod issue and how you have to disassemble your vlogging set up to change the battery. She said that issue has been elevated and engineers are working on a redesign. 😎
Notifs gang
This works for me on the latest version. Cannot find the pass through waterproof door though
I bought mine directly through GoPro but I just checked for you and confirmed Amazon sells third party pass through doors. GoPro might have discontinued them on their website.
has this issue been fixed?
Doesn’t seem like it based on recent comments.
I had this "Not Enough Power" issue with a Naked GoPro Hero 10. Here's a great tutorial on how to solve the power issue and update software: ruclips.net/video/bZTCg5XnjIk/видео.html
I’m gonna have to try that.
@@WannaFishAllDay It works! Make sure to follow the instructions to a T, especially the QR code section. If you are not using the QR code app and GoPro's Labs software, I highly recommend it.
Ok thanks buddy!!
1 year later and the power management on the GoPro 10 is still super buggy. Unplugged mine from the charger yesterday. Red charge LED didn't turn off. Had to long press the power button to reset it in order to turn it on. I hate how unreliable these are. First and only GoPro product I will buy.
No argument from me. Not a fan of GoPros! Thanks for the comment. 👍
Fake battery not acceptable
hi sir 😊 godbless you 😇
Version 1.50 is out as of December 14 2022. Anybody tried it?
I have not.
if i get that message i just let it power down, wait a few seconds then turn it on, its worked multiple times for me
Yes I do that too but won’t work in the long run with the newer update unless they’ve (GoPro) fixed this since posting this video.
@@WannaFishAllDay i did a 4 hour hyperlapse with that method on the latest software.. what do you mean in the long run?
What software version are you running? I’ve been able to turn off and turn back on at times with the latest software at the time of the video but it was intermittent. It also didn’t work at times and I’m not the only one. I just want others, who may have similiar issues as me, to know that the way I completely avoided this issue was by running an older software version.
@@WannaFishAllDay im running 1.46 i do get the initial low power message and it powers off... then after a few seconds of it being powered off i just hit the power button again and its worked every time for me. i just tried it again. just adding to your method so other people can try both ways... didnt mean to come off like right vs. wrong
Absolutely, thanks for your feedback!
you have to add a powerbank WITHOUT the battery in it as the powerbank will go through the battery and it will overheat. The GO Pro 9 is brilliant.
Yes, tried it that way as well for my GoPro 10.
GoPro Hero 11 has same issue, contacted them & agent said he had just spoken to customer with your same issue. They wanted to replace it and I want to return for a full refund because it's 30day money back. Sucks because they gave me no answer.
That’s terrible. Sorry to hear that. Hope you got your refund.
1st
Same thing for me. Even talk / chatted to go pro and they said nothing about it!!! just said OH.
vertical video.....NOOOOOOOO
Yes, it's intentional. They are beholden to powers that do NOT want people to have long continuous shooting for many reasons, one of which is financial dependence but also to force people to do everything on a device they can control i.e. your cell phone. They will act like they are unaware, but they just have to sell it that way. DSLR cameras have permanent limitations on shooting time, action cameras "overheat" even though cell phone batteries never overheat. Weird how that works right?
They don't care about external battery users like us (anglers), we are the minority. I'm using the latest firmware and it doesn't matter if you are using a 5v 2a it still says it's not enough power and you have to put in a battery, so just to verify, latest firmware is still borked. It's an overheating overpriced piece of junk, and they don't even have software setting to let us get by...
Yeah, when I called them (GoPro), they acted as if this was news to them. I guess they want us to keep buying batteries. Definitely do not cater to fishing content creators.. Thanks for your comment.
