There is a number of features that you may want to turn off if you want to extend your battery life. Majority of time when i use my gopro cameras i turn off GPS and lower my brightness level to around 50% unless ociassionaly during a very strong sun i need it higher i keep it that way. Dont forget to use a screen saver setting set to 1 min, this way your camera gonna dim the screen saving battery.
Turn off your voice commands when you are not going to use it, when you have wake up command your camera gonna keep listtening to commands draining your battery life over time when its turned off. Unless its really necessary dont use it.
Remember to switch your Wifi to OFF when you finished downloading your photos and videos there is no need to keep it running and it gonna drain your battery too much.
LEDs - I didnt mention it in the video but When you record a nightlapse its better to switch it OFF as it may cause some light enter enter your sensor when long exposure, ever since i learned that when doing timelapses over long period of time i simply dont need it, so if you expect to record sth longer than 3 h just turn it off and you will gain some additional minutes to run your camera.
Lastly the biggest drain on your camera performance is your resolution and frame rate, just because u can record in 5k or 4k doesnt mean you have to do it all the time. When you only lower down your resolution your camera wont overheat so fast and your battery will last a much longer.
Frame rate is also important as within a single second if you record 60 fps as opposed to 30 fps , your camera has to do double work in the same timeframe, so it loses battery faster. I think you will see great battery improvement if you only switch from 4k to 2.7k or 1080 but at a cost of lower quality of your video.
Perhaps i missed sth, anyway thanks for watching and reading if u reach here :)
How to Extend Battery Life in your GoPro
#gopro #battery #hero9black
I am new to GoPro line and I am really enjoying your videos. These are straightforward, clear, and make a lot of sense. I purchased GoPro Hero 11 last week and was disappointed to see how quickly its battery drained. Initially, I thought that a defective product or maybe some battery issue., but after watching your video on Battery test comparison I got to know the reality.
Thanks so much. Love from India.
Thank you, wonderful friendly informative video!
Summary: Lower brightness, Shorten screen timeout, turn off GPS, lower beep volume, decrease auto power off time, turn off LEDs, turn off voice control & wake on voice, turn off wireless connections (Wi-Fi), decrease resolution (to 1080p) and frame rate (24 fps)
0:32 lol you mean "at most", not "at least".
4:35 I think you shoulda continued the 1st test til the battery fully drains, for full data. Same for 2nd test.
Yeah you can keep aome.of it on of course. I usually have my brightness around 50% and gps off all the time. The rest is totaly optional
Thanks a million! I thought something was wrong with my camera or my batteries. Now I know it’s all down to settings. 🙏🏽
Great tips my friend! Congrats on breaking that 1k mark my friend! Your crushing it!
Thank you ! It took me a while to break that milestone but finally here :)
@@Tomasz.Nowacki say that again? Did you say a whole ? Year or two years?
@@RyanMatta ohh hahaha sorry was replying to you late at night in pitch black room ^^ my fault
Thanks for nice informative video
Great and helpful video! Thank you
Thank you for your helpful comments. I have a black 8 when I can turn it off as soon as possible. Touching the case I have felt the heat the battery creates transferring heat to the outside of the camera. I just purchased a black 10 and have yet to find the time to set it up, etc. I am checking out utubes as preliminary info to make it easier later. Great video.
Sure everyone had to learn at some point :) have fum with your camera
I think gps, wireless connection and screen brightness eat up a lot of power.
Good info Tom, appreciate your work. TY
Thank you for your kind feedback :)
Thanks tom bhaiya 🥰
:) no problem
Thank you so much for this video. It’s the first one of your vids I’ve seen. I was totally stumped with my two hero 8’s but now I can drive my pony and not worry about having to stop and change my batteries every 30-40 minutes. I need to video our drives because of how dangerously vehicles drive near my pony and carriage. I have subscribed so I can find more vids much easier. 👍
Thanks bro 🙏🙏
No problem:)
learnt a lot, subscribed and liked
Thank you :) happy you learned sth from me :)
You are the best 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thanks
Thanks brother
very informative video thanks 👍🇵🇭
Fantastic video very helpful!
Thank you :)
Thanks man. now i can go longer!
Go longer then ^^
I just saw your video on how to save Battery.
What are your tips to:
1) SAVE Memory?
2) When GoPro 9 is super hot?
Please Help!👍😀😀
Saving memory is basically about lowering the resolution to 2.7k or 1080 p from 5k or 4k the lower y go the more space u have, selecting lower bit rate will reduce the quality but also space required on your memory, and using HEVC codec will make the files smaller
For super hot i would suggest turning off gps, wifi, making sure u have a screen saver set to 1 or 2 min etc remember its an action camera it needs to be used outdoor
Nice job my friend 👍
Thank you :)
Informative review, thank you.....👏👏☘
Thank you too :)
Really Great Video 👍😁
Thank you :)
legend thanks mate
My Hero 8 will say it has 30 min of video and it's one video on my gopro, but when I download it, it separates the video into many sections. Why can't I record one continuous video?
Very informative thanks for sharing
Oh i see I solved your problem :)
Good stuff, thanks!
Thank you :)
Thank you so much!!!!
Nice vid from hero 9 group
Thanks !
what would be the best underwater video quality to get the best video and longest battery life? thank you
I would just use 4k 30 fps or 24 fps depending on your project , then select iso min 100 and max 400 thats what i would do
Thanks so much
:) no problem
Thank you brother 😊
No problem hope it helps ! :)
@@Tomasz.Nowacki indeed .... I am first time user of Gopro
All off is just possible if you do a time lapse. If you do action (is an action cam, isnt it?) you need at least the voice or the wifi or the display. Anyway, my compatible batteries are so poor 😭(I bought the GoPro used), I have a hero 5, I dont know if it worth more to buy a new compatible one...
Not really many times when im in a pinch i can reduce it all , well yes the display cannot be 10% al the time i usually keep it at 50 % but the rest can still apply to save battery life
i wonder if i just got unlucky with my gopro then. my gopro on lowest setting chugs through baterylife. i can literally sit and watch the numbers go down. i was hoping to live stream😔
Please let me.k ow all your camera settings maybe i cam find the reason and if u use gopro enduro or blue battery
Thanks
No problem hope these tips gonna help you extend your battety life :)
Nice one👍🤯👍
Thank you :)
Thank You so much bro, u really cleared all the confusions..🙏😊.
Happy to hear that :)
Question, Tom, will turning off the wireless connection stop my remote from working with my hero8 black? Also, I couldn't find my front screen options.
Yes u need wifi to use the remote. Front screen options are only in hero 9 so its ok :) i dont remember if u van swotvh monochrome screen off though hmmm good question i think no caude dont remember ever doing so
@@Tomasz.Nowacki do you have a video on suggestions for SD cards based on the quality of video and camera usage? GoPro support has indicated that my software problems may be due to my sd card. Have already reformatted but didn't correct the camera from randomly turning itself on.
@@brentdgravel perhaps it turns on because of voice comman "wake on" feature. Its weird that it turns on itself otherwise, I dont have any specific video on sd cards but the one and only sd card i would recommend is Sandisc Extreme Plus or without, i never had an issue with this card and it always worked fine for me, just make sure you have a legit version from trusted source sometimes you can buy a knock off
@@Tomasz.Nowacki I have turned off the wake option. Hope that solves it.
Another topic, do you notice the stabilization 3.0 on the 9 being better than the 2.0 on 8? You can go to my channel and see recent cycling videos with stabilization on with the 8 if you need a reference.
@@brentdgravel hey is far as i was testing for me they are very similar some youtubers zoomed in 200% or 500% and found some minimum difference that Hero 8 was better but for me its insignificant, for me personally having that Horizon stabilisation in hero 9 is just a game changer
I guess if you turned off wake option your camera definitely wont turn on now accidentally
Why my gopro9 has diffirent fps compare to other gopro 9. Its only have 200 100 50 25 fps compared to other hero9 has 240 120 60 30 24 fps? Why my hero9 has low fps? Help me. Thank you
You need to go to : Preferences -> General -> 50 ghz change to 60 ghz , just that :)
@@Tomasz.Nowacki thank you so much. Im okey now with my gopro.
Great to hear :)
Hi i have questions for you.
If you put screen brightness on a 10 % would your movie be at 10 % brightness too ??
And if you have it on a helmet and only wanna film whenever something is going to happen.
I am going horseriding with a go pro.
And when we are going to gallop, i can say to the go pro turn on and start recording.
And when we do something thats not so ecxiting i can say the opposit.
I hope you can help me before i am going to ride a horse.
No it wont :) screen brightness is as the name suggest just screen brightness , your video wil be perfectly fine
For the second part of your qyestion please read about hero 9 hindsight feature its exactly what you need
@@Tomasz.Nowacki ok but when i am riding a horse i can't reach my go pro with my hand.
And i think there's no voice command for hindsight ?
Most of time they will tell on time when we are going to gallop, so i can tell my go pro to turn on and to start recording
@@Tomasz.Nowacki and what fps do you recommend for horseriding.
60 fps or 30 fps ??
@@anksteenbergen6529 24 fps is enough. For slow motion you should choose higher fps rates.
And you can use voice control to turn your camera on and off.
i just got mine and recorded two videos each video 20 minutes one with 1080 and one with 2.7k ..and battery finished ..so how come urs stayed for almost 18 hours
