Haven't had any of the issues mentioned so far. The only one I have also had is the battery charging inconvenience, but my tankbag really facilitates sticking the whole charger in place so I've kinda solved this issue. Truth is that if you don't want any fancy feature (5.3k, or >120 fps footage), then sticking to more simple action cams is the way to go, but for me the processing, colors and overall quality of the Hero10 is unparalleled, can't really ditch it.
Got a new hero 10 recently. Every time I press the recording button, the recording starts and the screen goes blank and stops recording in 2 minutes. Then I have to start recording it all over again, and after that the damn thing works just fine till the battery runs out like a ''forgot to turn off the water tank '' 😂😂. I'm new to Moto vlogging and lost the footages on my very first attempt last week. Now I know how to handle this thing. Just give it some 2 minutes initially to get warmed up by just click on the record button and wait 😂. After that 2 minutes dude Hero 10 is all set to go. By the way how many batteries have you guys got ? I have 3 now and thinking about buying 3 more before even posting a GoPro vlogging video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel your pain and am also experiencing the same issues. Whilst I’m a motovlogger i’m also a professional TV Cameraman and have introduced the GoPro on to a few productions. We recently lost days worth of footage from two hero 10’s which were placed inside an aeroplane cockpit and a tractor cab over the space of a week. The production company have vowed never again to let a GoPro on set. It’s only a matter of time before GoPro get sued for their sub standard products.
Guys, I have been using the hero 9 and 10 with out any issue. I'm wondering if it might be the SD cards you are using. I only use Sandisk extreme pro and never had an sd card error. Been using multiple gopros on every ride since the hero 4. Great cameras, and I have 3 hero 4 that still work today.
I hope GoPro would start spending more time perfectioning their products instead of pumping out new versions every year. I also hope they really ditch that bullshit ecosystem that they try to force feed down your throat. I'd like to plug in my GoPro into my computer and just copy-paste the files off of it, instead of having to install their mediocre software and signing up and giving them all my info in order to get it off my product that I have purchased. I understand, use a card reader fixes that problem, but that adds unneccessary steps to my workflow.
@@KennethGreenCMP i have used a gopro 4 and 10 and in both of them i have always just plugged the sd card in to my computer and just copy paste the files
Interestingly, I found the same issues; other than stabilisation, happened on my 7, rather than my 10. My suggestion would be to switch out your SD to one with a higher clock speed.
In germany you'd say it's a monday model because of its bugs. I got the Gopro10 with me in june on a five-day-motorcycle-holiday at Lago di Como (Italy). The Gopro was attached to the handlebar and connected to an USB socket. There was only one issue on our way back home when it suddenly asked me to connect it to a power source. Ok, that was really annoying but I took over 25 hours of footage including Vlogging parts (battery) on sightseeing tours in different cities without any problems. Also no issues with stabilizing. I'm not a Gopro fanboy but really satisfied with this cam. I used no mods or cases.
The SD card error actually is a problem the sd card is faulty for. If your settings are too high, the sd card can not write the data as quick as it must in this situation. Hence, if you have high settings you need an sd card with higher writing speed.
Why GoPro WHY?! I loved my hero 7 with a purple panda mic. Then after a year and half it started acting up. Now it’s untrustworthy. The newer gopros are even less reliable it sounds like. I’ve been using insta360 one r 4K mod and it’s super reliable. Video looks pretty good, not quite GoPro. But external mic doesn’t work well so I capture audio on a h2n. That’s fine when I’m on my own. But with the guys making them pull over every time I want to start or stop a camera is just too much. I hate everything now 😂
@@MotoFeelz I’m actually setting up my one X2 as a helmet cam for long trips. That way I can just use it as is. You know what was a super good cam. The Sony fdr-x3000. 4K, optical stabilization, 3.5 mic right in with good auto leveling. Mine still works but I hate side mounted cameras.
I feel your pain and frustration!! I’ve had soo many problems with my hero10s too. When I got the SD card error, I blamed it on forgetting to format the sd card after removing footage of it via my computer. Happened after a full day of recording and the sd card showed up completely empty on my laptop 🤯 took me 1,5 day of googling and trying, but in the end, managed to recover 40gb of footage from that sd card using the recover software from recovergopro . com.What a relief but GoPro really messed up with this camera, I agree!
i was watching his review and then asked myself ; does itchy boot has the same problems , and then here you are . i think hero 4 and hero 7 are the best cameras for motovlogging , the think is hero 7 has low battery performs , it will be great if they fix that .
@@kechrider I've had major issues with the Hero 7. Go pro sent me replacements for it twice and even they were faulty...The quality of the newer Go pro's are so poor.
GoPro have recovering software!? Guess they wouldn't promote it that much haha. I see you've been rocking 2 Hero 10's and i've asked myself how you trust them.. but i guess you don't. Thanks for sharing Noraly!
@@MotoFeelz DCRAINMAKER did a massive review on the camera saying it was so good and no overheating yet people are still recording overheating issues and problems with memory card . I really hate when these big youtubers make biased reviews because the company is clearly paying them.
I have had similar issues with the GP8. My tips: * Record without a battery. Use a USB battery bank in your jacket pocket. Prevents shutdown due to overheating. * Format the SD card in the camera each time you transfer footage to your PC. This helps avoid SD card errors. * Learn what a VPN actually does and doesn't do to protect you. Websites can still know who you are via cookies and fingerprinting.
All that for a $500 product? ...Or you just don't spend so much money on ...well ..junk. And by the way, for helmet installation this brick cameras have been shit for ever, just because they are a fucking brick! ... What people would need is a DETACHABLE camera module ..so you can put the brick in a pocket and mount the very slim camera lens module somerwhere on the helmet ..where nobody would even notice it! ... GoPro just has never worked for motorcycle helmets.
By the time gopro makes a new perfect camera for motovlogs and we all switch to it, we will shed a tear for the gopro 7 for staying loyal thru all these years.
No way you posted this today! I have the gopro10 in my amazon cart right now and this changed my mind. GoPros tripping out are so infuriating I laughed when you had to walk out of the room. Thanks for the info
I have the same problem, and I have also a mediamod. I got also a frozen GoPro 10 when it is of, and it is charching via the Mediamod. When the Gopro is frozen you can press the on/off button for 20 sec. You have the same outcome as removing the battery. It is a lot quicker.
I’ve been using the hero9 for the past year, no problem so far, except since 2 months my hero9 started freezing while recording like 1 time out of 20, and when it does that, all I can recover is the footage before the freeze. It seems that it’s not only a hero10 problem And speaking of the hero10 I’ve heard it does not handle the heat, and the battery dies real quick when it’s cold.
I had similar issues with my 9. Updated it via app, then had to manually do it with PC. Formatted card in computer, in camera as well. Still had issues with freezing, corrupted files, etc. I ended up turning off all functions I don't really use. Hindsight, GPS, quick capture. Haven't had a single issue since turning off all those functions. My thinking is that there's just too many functions in such a small/cheap camera. It can't handle the work load of video recording and multiple other functions simultaneously.
I just bought the 10 Hero few weeks ago and right on the first usage I experienced problems. Files were corrupted, changed SD card (from the one supplied with the kit), Gopro glitches, turn off by itself or reboot, freeze beyond recovery (had to pull the battery off and on), pink videos and so on... all within the first week of usage. Then seeing this video and reading the comments section hinted me that there was some who don't have issues, plus a friend of mine on Discord told he got it at the same place (Costco) and didn't encounter any issues. So I brought it back to Costco and replaced it. A week later? not a single glitch at all. So bottom line, I think Gopro has a serious QA problem in their division. It doesn't inspires me to know that my working Gopro could potentially degrade after some short or long term usage with the heating issues, but so far so good.
I've had the same problem with the SD card 3 times, I lost all the footage. I was using the recommended SanDisk SD card and that was crap. Then I decided to try the Lexar one and that has worked perfectly since day 1! Super recommended, not using a SanDisk again with GoPro (For reference: Lexar Professional 1066x 256GB microSDXC UHS-I Serie Silver)
This is something I'll need to try as currently I'm using extreme Pro Sandisk and I have a lot of problems with my 9. I have less problems since I have lowered the resolution from 4k to 2.7k, which tells me that either the camera its not stable recording 4k, or maybe there is an SD card issue that's not capable of process the 4k footage fast enough. They recommend sandisk extreme, I have the extreme pro which is even fast. And I ahve tried another sandisk card, same issues. I'll try this and see if it works. Curious if anyone else has tested this?
I use the 7 Black using the Scandisk SD card and have had a few similar problems, freezing the video but continues to record audio. Solutions that work for me: 1. I changed brands of SD card and have not had the problem of frozen video since. 2. Media mod sucks, I use the Ulanzi cage with the intergrated audio adapter "holder", easy to change batteries, SD cards and remove the camera if I want to. So far so good!
I've used GoPro's for years and found out what causes and what fixes SD card errors. 1: Stop using Sandisk cards. The amount of users having issues using these cards it mind blowing. Use Samsung Evo cards instead. 2: Realize that lockups and freezes are usually caused by SD card corruption. Formatting in the GoPro does NOT fix SD card corruption as the GoPro can only perform a "quick" format. Here's a video explaining SD card errors and how to fix it: ruclips.net/video/633S-6lagDI/видео.html
I've used SanDisk Extreme Pro SD's for years with no issues, but it was on DSLRs with full size SD cards, not micros. That's interesting to know the micro cards can be sketchy with GoPro, good to know!
@@joeninja1364 Yeah, it's interesting, if you read the support forums, the amount of people having issues with the GoPro Sandisk combination is just amazing. Nearly every single one of them have the same thing in common, Sandisk cards. After I showed people how to properly format their cars, I'd say about 85% of them didn't have any further issues. Those that did, I told them to switch to Samsung Evo cards and their issues went away completely. So not sure if it's a card speed issue, reliability issue or what. I only use Samsung cards in any of my GoPro's, have once had a data loss issue or a camera lockup.
@@DemonViewLLC Dang. Well, I'm gonna keep using SanDisk for my DSLR but low-key I think I'm gonna swap over to Samsung for my Hero 9 I'm picking up. Thanks for that!
The issue that I have had multiple times is when I go to upload my footage via cable/media mod. And it will not read it. I end up having to take the micro SD card out and insert it in the card reader on the PC.
I have a Hero 10 showing up tomorrow... and a 9 showing up in a couple days... I ditched all my GoPro’s for the Osmo action last year but I continue miss that amazing wide angle shot and clean sounding audio so I figured I’d give GoPro another shot sense before the finicky mic adapter drove me crazy and now the media mod has seemed to fix that issue but I’m still nervous. Just hearing the GoPro beeps gives me anxiety😅
Yeah we've found it crappy too (RidingOnEggshells). It crashes, the sound isn't great, even with the media mod, which sucks a lot of battery. And while the media mod was on, for some reason all my footage was blurry. Just did a 2 week high country ride and found all the footage was bad. I'm furious.
I don't get why yours is so bad? You might have a defective unit. My Hero 10 is quite good. Haven't had issues with it. Try contacting GoPro support about the issue.
I went from your last video promoting the 10 to this. Thank you for your honesty. I bought a GoPro once and it did this constantly. Really bad for someone with an anger problem.
I have the GoPro Hero8 (x2) and generally have had no issues other than a couple of times it has not wanted to start and have had to take the battery out and back in. My biggest gripe is the remote. When I brought the second camera I also brought the remote which should then allow you to switch them both on or off in unison, but that stopped responding and it could not be a range issue because it was right near the bar mounted camera and half a metre from the one mounted on a helmet mount. 😖 Ian Back on Two Wheels
I just found your channel! Love the banter with yourself while riding. I just bought the hero 10 but I've got 14 days to test on a road trip. As a side note I ride my motorcycle around the world and I'll look to you for moto vlogging setup once I get back on it! Keep it up man!
I had the same SD card error once (GoPro 10) and I lost 2 days footage on the mountains. It pissed me off! Then I had issues with the batteries and the reliability was low. Media mode the same. For an action camera which is on the market for so many years this was unacceptable! I sold it, bought a DJI Action 4 and never looked back...
Tons of people moto logging hate Go Pro unless its the older ones. Seriously ... stick to what you use if it works. Hero 7 isn't bad and it works like you said. Sometimes New is not better.
Mines been pretty decent... had one issue where external mic didn't work but with the mic levels I now check the internal mic but tapping it to be sure it's on the right mic. Your SD cards don't look like super fast versions, could be your problem
I've had Gopro 1, Gopro 2, Gopro 3, Gopro 6 and now Gopro MAX, and every single god damn time I trust they've gotten better. Early models suffered really bad quality, even though it was amazing they managed pack "so much" in to a little compact camera back then, and not to speak of really bad battery performance, specially on colder days / winter. I had 6 batteries for my Gopro 3, and even then it was nothing but big pile of frustration, because the batteries could not hold the charge. You could spend hours charging batteries the day before to prep for whatever was going to happen the day after, only to find out your batteries were at 50% or below. The Gopro MAX is probably the best Gopro camera I've owned this far, the batteries have been a whole lot better than what I've experienced before, the camera produces some cool perspectives in it's main 360 form, but also doubles up as a Hero camera with amazing stability capabilities. But still I've suffered a lot of bad connectivity to the app, and everything just freezing a bit too frequent, and I've tried several android phones, as well as my iPad, and it never really mattered too much what I connected the camera too, it would do the same silly shit. I'll understand things can freeze and lock up, every tech gadget can do that, but a camera that at this pricerange should be better than what it is. They fix several issues, and introduce more issues elsewhere, and it get's so frustrating to the point that you simply don't go out and record anything. HOPEFULLY, they'll get their shit straight, and give us a camera that works flawless, but for now I'm not holding my breath. *insert "it is what it is" meme here*
Had a friend who was facing the same SD ERROR with his HERO9 , he sent his camera to GoPro and they replaced it 🤷🏻♂️. He never faced the same issues again after the replacement. I suggest you to do the same, it’s worth trying! Btw, my hero 10 never had this kind of issues! Maybe you got one that was manufactured by a lazy bastard 🙄
Oddly enough I've been having the same issue with the Hero *7* Black, though not as bad. Another motovlogger has pinpointed the issue being bloated batteries though, so for Hero 7 owners reading this, you're probably best using original batteries that haven't bloated.
Exactly. I actually have had a terrible experience with the 7. SD read issues, lost files, frozen screens. Sounds like mine (and his) story is far too anecdotal to affect anyones buying decision…
@@SortofJacob There was some settings on the 7 that caused issues as far as I know, low light and auto-right (rotation of footage), as well as bad cards. Changing that solved it for a number of people, but I'm not sure it was ever officially recognised as a fix. The 8 batteries I've got have bloated where the 7s all seem fine (but have got a lot less use). I had issues with the 7, less with the 8 and nothing too extreme yet on the 10, but haven't used it much...
A couple of months ago I purchased the 11 and while I don't have the same issues as you have with the 10, I've had serious issues to the point where I've been tempted to drop it off my helmet mount at 100km/h and test out the no questions asked replacement fee for subscribers! Rear screen drops out and only battery removal fixes it (more annoying when removing the media mod). Cannot for the life of me connect to preview on the phone so I can see what I'm filming - it connects about 1/10 times. Cannot upload media so I have to pull straight off the SD card. Many great rides with the intention of filming some amazing scenery from the saddle have not eventuated and therefore I miss out on the main thing a GoPro gives you - the ability to capture the moment when you're in it! Not sure if GoPro is for me...
I feel the same too. Over heating is always the problem for hero 10. Since I live in Vietnam where always summer, means always fighting with over heat.
Rob have you thought of formatting the SD card with the GoPro ? Thats what I always do and I don't mix and match SD cards and equipment. In theory it should help avoid errors

My GooPoo also makes problems. But only when is on USB charger. It hangs up, it starts by itself, it turns off by itself. The most used feature is i think hard reset. Press power button and hold it for more than 10 seconds. This will reset your GooPoo.
I go through this with my GoPro 8 so I would say maybe its just a bad go pro and the specific thing youre talking about is why i stopped using the quick capture feature.
I don't know what to say. It's looks like everyone I know have different problems with their GoPro, no matter which version you have. My friend and I bought the GoPro Hero 7 at the same time because of the Hypersmooth feature first introduce back then. I still use the GoPro 7 till now. But every time I use it, it has to freeze at least 1 time on me. I have to remove the battery and put it back to reset it. Because of that, I had missed a few great videos in the past. My friend have the same issue with his GoPro Hero 4, 7 et now 10. I had the SD card error once with the 7 too. I lost all the footage that day. I only use genuine GoPro battery and the best SD card possible. I love GoPro for what it is but they are so unreliable for sure. Never had any problem like that with my other gear from Canon & Sony. It's good to hear that your Hero 7 seems to work all the time. It's not the case with mine. I really want to upgrade to the new 10 with all the new feature but I don't know how it will turn out for me lol. Nice video by the way!
Bad SD cards in the both cases, try a modern new card, UHS II. They have about 10,000 write/erase cycles. The media mod causing overheating caused freeze, if you would have just held the power button in it would have shut down and upon restart it would have saved your footage. Taking the battery out was your mistake causing the loss of footage. So the only issue is the overheating issue which has been known about since hero 10's release.
Yeah, I've experienced some of the same weirdness.... Locking up, not saving files etc.... That does piss me off big time. Battery thing isn't a worry as I have an Artman charger that charges 3 batteries at once (in a closed container) and I use that in my tank bag.... that is rock solid. But I hope they do fix it. By the way, if you like the push on ND, then check out the Sandisk variable ND. It pushes on and it's great that you can tune the ND density on the fly, but it's no good for adventure bike riding, I need the secure NDs.
I have had the Quick Start freeze problem many times! I lost all the footage of a great ride in Vermont! So disappointing. Ps. Agree with you about the charger!
I bought my GoPro 10, for a trip to the USA, and it always fails me, in the cold it definitely fails a lot, it was terrible to know that I couldn't record much, fortunately I brought a GP9, a DJI Osmo Action and an Insta360 OneR, and the last two They were the best.
@@CapitaineMotard The error in the 8 also occurs with the quick capture since it does not connect the auxiliar microphone but leaves the external ones working, if you go by motorcycle this is a disaster.Solution: must buy the mic adapter and forget the mediamod.
@@CapitaineMotard yes,the problem is only with quickcapture,in normal mod no problem when press on side button y on upper button so no problem,start recording normally whit external mic.Sorry my english
I had to choose my next camera, the Gopro hero 10 or go with insta 360 one X2 .. I went with Insta and so far I am very happy! .. It is very surprising that gopro dont have it locked down how their product should be.. it should be FLAWLESS at lvl 10 ! ..
The day DJI release a firmware update for the original Osmo Action to include a superview, it will solve all these issues. Such a great unit for motovlogging 🤙
Same issue’s. GoPro Hero 9. Plus the camera battery won’t work at 32 degrees or below. Purchased the new Enduro batteries and the camera crashing issue became more frequent. 4k 60fps 120 fr. ND filter and I use the media mod. Never had any issue’s with my Sony pov.
Thanks for sharing this video Moto Feetz. I still have my little Session 5 hero cube camera which works fine and is so versatile and light - i mainly use it for snorkel diving shoots because of it's smaller cube shape, it can put it in my suit pocket easily while floating. This year was going to be my first moto vlogging year (and i did watch your vlog about the hero 10) - i used my Psychic powers to divine that it would be best to get a Go Pro 8 - and save about.....$100? because i later realised you have to also by a media mod and extra batteries, mic - and before you know it, the original camera budget grows extra arms and legs.
I record my rides with a gopro 10 for a few years now and it has never let me down, super nice quality and work. I heard from some people there was a production issue and some cameras came with issues. So maybe you got one of those. Some friends also use the 10 and no issues at all. But it is quite frustrating when it happens... I love them gopros but thinking on switching to the DJI Osmo soon, lets see.
Came across this video as I was researching my ongoing issue of SD card errors when using 256GB cards. Doesn't seem to happen with smaller. These SD cards are so random for me. Frustrating. Spoke with GoPro and of course got the "never heard of it" before.
Try using the SanDisk EXTREME Pro Micro SD card. It should help with fewer issues. The one you use is a Extreme Ultra and though it'll work in most cases... the EXTREME Pro cards are far more reliable. I have Hero 7s and Hero 10s and have zero issues with the 7 and barely any issues with the 10 when using Extreme Pro cards. 64GB or 128GB capacities.
I’ve tried twenty different brands and speeds of cards including the one you recommended as I became fixated with this issue and the camera still crashes. It is useless if it is unreliable. GoPro will also tell you to make sure the card is formatted and then don’t hear from them again. I don’t know how they’re getting away with this. It’s only a matter of time before they get sued by a production company.
@@404michaelnotfound yes. black & red with extreme PRO . i'd say the Extreme PRO is easily 20% faster than the Extreme & Extreme Plus speeds. the extra upfront cost pretty much irrelevant once you realize that your devices will actually work when using the PRO cards haha.
@@WheelieGoodTV yeah! some of the things i do are... 1.) always format the card while IN the GoPro 2.) never delete files while the card is in a card reader. 3.) never use the card for a different device (even if it's an identical device.) 4.) 64GB cards seem to have less hassles. 5.) a good card storage case. dust/water proof. keep away from sun/heat. 6.) my gear is always in a dehumidifier cabinet when not used. cards & readers too. 7.) i know some of this might seem excessive, but it helps with reliable. But yes, even with all of these precautions... my Hero 7 BLACK is still more reliable than the 10 BLACK.
When after riding and recording the whole day, if your files are corrupt, dont say your day is wasted! Your reason of riding your motorbike should not be to capture some video but enjoying riding and having fun :)
On my soon to be returned Hero 10 at 4k 60fps, with media mod, external mic... I get 15 mins before the piece of junk overheats. That is in 40mph winds strapped to my helmet. That is a far cry from 40-60 mins. The breaking of the video into little five min chunks would have been nice to know and understand before purchasing too. Forgot to mention it randomly turns itself on. Its a pain.
@@MotoFeelz looking forward to the video. I'm using a gopro hero session 5 for my ebike recording in 1080p 60fps and am in need of a new action cam. been debating on which insta360 to buy and was thinking about a gopro10
same issues basically. I have 5,7,8,9 and the 9 continues to give me problems. I am on my 3rd one, as gopro replaced the first two. They have been great to deal with and prompt; so no issues there. My gripe is simply with performance. I have spent a lot of $ and have this platform quite 'hard-wired' into my recording lifestyle. I WANT TO KEEP gopro....honestly. I love the product; its that simple. But I have no idea why my 9 wont record continuously. I've tried all the recommendations from those who have had positive results troubleshooting. I cannot rely on the 9 to perform and thats just unacceptable to me. All 3 of my 9's will go to purple screen and shut off video recording while continuing to record audio. They also just freeze up the video while continuing to audio record. This makes riding a motorcycle and recording track or street rides simply impossible. So I will stick with my 8 until something is resolved. After 3 tries on the 9, I am just tired of working on them and wondering if I am getting the shot.
Misma cosa con mi hero 8,solucion,adios mediamod y bienvenido adapter mic,cero problemas ahora.Aprovecho de especificar que el problema es solo en quickcapture,saludos.
That ND filter issue... thats why I bought Ulanzi v3 metal case for hero 7 black so that I can attach 52mm ND filter on it... incase in future I switched to 9 or 10 then u can put that ND filter on the metal case of that particular gopro too..
Got my Hero 10 in early Feb 2022. Have the latest firmware and I too have experienced the same issues as you regarding unit freezing, very disappointing. Luckily for me, never experienced the SD card error.

Similar issue with GH8, since then i am not using GoPro at all. DJI and Insta360 are better now.
Wow. I almost wonder if it is a camera specific thing or a combination of factors causing it. I use the Hero 10 for videos across a few channels and haven't had it fail me yet. The Hero 9 on the other hand has had problems since the first month of use. In fact it locked up on me yesterday during a recording. Weird stuff
@@abundantharmony Wow. If I am riding I can record for as long as the batteries last. If I am doing stationary videos I don't usually record in very long continuous segments, but have done a few 20 minute sessions without problems. Do you have the camera mounted on a tripod or mount, or are you recording stationary with the camera sitting flat on a surface?
I bought 2 Gopro 10s. I was super happy with the first 1 but the 2nd one was a P.O.S, returned it and got an 11. No issues with either the 10 or 11 I have now.
I have had nothing but issues with my 7 since I bought it. So frustrated we spent so much money on something to have the exact issues you showcased in this video. I definitely would never buy another GoPro again, but would love for this one to work for me
I've never had any issues with mine, as long as I don't fill the SD card completely. Then I get an endless beep, so removing battery is needed to stop it. If I want to record I need to swap SD cards. Keep in mind you need a fast sd card. too slow write speed and it won't work. No issues with the firmware. But the original black battery and the batteries with blue strip on it run out of juice in seconds or a minute in sub zero temps. and I read Enduro batteries that fix this issue don't work with 7. Session 4 works in sub zero temps for a while. But that's not a 4k camera, it's 1080p. And will overheat in 30C.
First time using my hero 10 on the bike, I found it would unpair from my phone and stop recording after a while. I would have to pull over to switch it back on again just for it to record a few more minutes then turn off again. It would then get to the point where it wouldn’t switch on at all. I was using external power as well. Eventually it would turn on but then repeat the process over again. I got the media mod for it but the hero 10 will not recognize it at all. You can charge it via the port on the media mod, but that’s it, it will not switch to media mod mic or external mic when plugged in. I bought the hero 9 and media mod works fine on that. I had been using the Sony action cameras prior to switching to GoPro, the Sony ones have not let me down.
I have the 9, the problem with the SD card I've had it a couple of times but only with some SD cards, the problem with the gopro freezing luckly it only happenned once or two but it's very annoying when you are motovlogin I also use ND filters and I have the ones that also pops up I don't know it you heard about them, they are from telesin. Keep up with the good work.
Luck of the draw I reckon, I am no expert, though id try changing the settings used IE activity 4K/30 lens wide hypersmooth standard bitrate high shutter auto ev comp -1.5 white balance 5k iso min 100 max 1600 sharp low colour flat raw audio low wind on. forget the audio addons and just give it a go. the settings here I just typed, they are really good for keeping the sun reflection down off surfaces and allow enough light when in the shade. I got these settings/inputs from a dirt biker and the result is amazing once produced.
I have the hero 8 and only one time has the Ed card error issue. Managed to fix it by pulling the Ed card out, putting it into my h1n zoom and recording a short audio file. Then putting it back in the GoPro. Not sure why it worked - maybe it cleared some hidden cache file in the card or something (that sounded like I know what I’m talking about - but I don’t. I was just desperate and it worked). I’ll be sticking with the 8 for a while).
Thanks for this video! I'm looking at getting into Motovlogging and will pass on the Hero 10 now. Would you suggest the Hero 8 as the Hero 7 isn't as available anymore?
Following as I'm also interested if you would recommend the Hero 8 over the Hero 7 because you've just convinced me not to get the 10! Thanks for the heads up btw I'd take your experiences with this stuff any day of the week.
As far as I know with gopro 8 black there may be some problems when using ND filters and hypersmooth 2.0 stabilisation.. I don't use nd filters and gopro 8 it's brilliant 👌 for me
I have a hero8 as far as I know from recording it is ok I’m not sure about ND filters I can give you a feedback next week still waiting for my order 😛 but video wise it’s very nice for motovloging ! Wishing you a good start bro 😎
i would get an 8 if i were you. my friend has a hero 7 silver and i just bought an 8. the 8 has so many features and settings vs the 7 and its only like 50 bucks more maybe 100 depending on where you go or if you get it used. his 7 has froze but that was the things with the silver so i got an 8 and sooo much better he wants to borrow it now lol
For anyone having issues like Moto Feelz is having, I have a very elaborate setup I’m about to try out with my helmet. Getting rid of the Media Mod. I feel like the Media Mod is the culprit with hero 10. I’m going with a modular helmet, hero 10, 3.5mm mic adapter, housing for it, rode wireless go 2, external battery source and a microphone from some $15 earbuds I ordered on amazon. I should have a test run up either 7/30/22 or 7/31/22.
My bad, thought this comment was on my video 🤣 So… yes a slight update, however still having an audio issue that I truly believe will be fixed next weekend. I drive truck so I’m gone through the week. The setup I have currently is Shoei neotec 2. Have “Chin Mount (brand)” chin mount on the front. Gopro is mounted to it. There’s a casing I have for the 3.5mm gopro audio adapter that is also attached. I bought 2 cold shoe mounts, used double sided gorilla tape, and mounted 1 on the chin, to the left of the gopro, and mounted the other to the right side of the helmet. I have the rode wireless go 2 system, and slid those into the cold shoes. This eliminates the need to have a wire going to the gopro and being unable to open the modular helmet.. Kinda looks wicked.. but it’s a little much. The problem is.. first I used a wired headphone thing for android I assume, cut the earbuds off and taped the microphone to the check pad. That worked up till about 50-60 mph, then was just too much. So scrapped that, used a Rode Lavalier Go.. it picks up too much noise and cause voice distortion/clipping. Turning the rode wireless go down to -30 dB still didn’t work. Probably because the mic is +35 dB if I remember correctly.. so still has a +5 dB gain. I have a new mic on the way and it has a -35 dB rating on it, so I’m really hoping that will solve the issue. Ya know, buy an old cheap mic that you have to scream into.. that way it doesn’t pick up outside noises. So, that’s the update. I’ll do a video on my channel here shortly. It will be a one take and I’ll use pictures so people can get a reference. May take a min to upload cause my service is rough at the moment
this has happened to me. Infact after my brothers marriage he took the gopro 10 to a trip and there it just froze and SD CARD error was there. All beautiful memories went away just like that. When he came back we had to pay to recover the files and then he left that camera with me. I tried things and finally degraded and upgraded the firmware. After that i tried using gopro using all possible features and found that the problem of freezing, sd card error, and quick record button not working resolved. I hav not used it after that but will be doing it soon , hopefully the issues remain resolved. Finger crossed. I have a gopro 7 too.
Quick capture has never worked for me as advertised. I have hit the button, it looks like its recording until I go and check it to realize it only recorded for 3 mins.
I have the 10 as my motovlogging cam and I do strongly agree - the quality sucks. When it works, it's great but the software updates they issue kill your camera half the time in some bizarre way. It also freezes randomly on me when I scroll through the screen while adjusting the settings. I was super excited for it by the way and have had the Session since 2015 and that one is solid. I want to love GoPro, really do. But never again will I buy another one unless I see overwhelming positive feedback from others.
I've had the same issues with my 10 as well, and yes, I hate the charger! But my 7 just recently stopped doing the quick record. I have to turn it on and start. So I'm torn between the two. I hate that you get the "upgraded" camera and have twice the issues.
Oh geeez. Yeah i have the 9 and also have the same issues. It always recovers the footage but why the hell don’t they fix that crap. I’m going on a ride through the New Mexico BDR in May and will be bringing my 7 for sure. What a PITA.
Oh my god I feel your pain 10 fold Rob!!! The GoPro Hero 8 with media mod is no different in that it'll turn itself on and off when it feels like it, it freezes on the road so again, need to pull over, take the helmet off, get my screwdriver out, undo the GoPro, take the media mod off, pull the battery out, out it back in attach media mod, put it back on the helmet blah blah blah..... IT SUX!!! I'm so keen to get rid of it and check out the DJI Action, that seems reliable. I've also found the GoPro has just decided not to record full hours of video even though it was recording. I'm ranting, I'm fired up. Yes, I feel you brother!
No issues in mine. Sometimes just need a good factory reset and correct update. Never buy a GoPro produced on a Friday afternoon… 😂
On a Friday afternoon. Not in a Friday afternoon.
Apparently they produce only Monday mornings and Friday afternoons 😉
Wow "don't buy a defective unit", what a big brain move 🤯🤣
Haven't had any of the issues mentioned so far.
The only one I have also had is the battery charging inconvenience, but my tankbag really facilitates sticking the whole charger in place so I've kinda solved this issue.
Truth is that if you don't want any fancy feature (5.3k, or >120 fps footage), then sticking to more simple action cams is the way to go, but for me the processing, colors and overall quality of the Hero10 is unparalleled, can't really ditch it.
Yea I hear ya. When it works it’s great! I love the functionality and features it offers. You must have the golden egg
@SmokeyJungleFrog no, and it overheats and turns itself on randomly.
Got a new hero 10 recently. Every time I press the recording button, the recording starts and the screen goes blank and stops recording in 2 minutes. Then I have to start recording it all over again, and after that the damn thing works just fine till the battery runs out like a ''forgot to turn off the water tank '' 😂😂. I'm new to Moto vlogging and lost the footages on my very first attempt last week. Now I know how to handle this thing. Just give it some 2 minutes initially to get warmed up by just click on the record button and wait 😂. After that 2 minutes dude Hero 10 is all set to go. By the way how many batteries have you guys got ? I have 3 now and thinking about buying 3 more before even posting a GoPro vlogging video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel your pain and am also experiencing the same issues. Whilst I’m a motovlogger i’m also a professional TV Cameraman and have introduced the GoPro on to a few productions. We recently lost days worth of footage from two hero 10’s which were placed inside an aeroplane cockpit and a tractor cab over the space of a week. The production company have vowed never again to let a GoPro on set. It’s only a matter of time before GoPro get sued for their sub standard products.
Woooooow that’s huge! Yea I’ve used a Hero 7’s on some commercial shoots.. the Hero 10 stays at home
Same issues!!🧑⚕️ Back to 7 🤷♂️
that's mad!!! Losing motovlogging footage is stressful... but losing that sort of content and hours on productions is fucking MONEY lost xD
Guys, I have been using the hero 9 and 10 with out any issue. I'm wondering if it might be the SD cards you are using.
I only use Sandisk extreme pro and never had an sd card error.
Been using multiple gopros on every ride since the hero 4. Great cameras, and I have 3 hero 4 that still work today.
I hope GoPro would start spending more time perfectioning their products instead of pumping out new versions every year. I also hope they really ditch that bullshit ecosystem that they try to force feed down your throat. I'd like to plug in my GoPro into my computer and just copy-paste the files off of it, instead of having to install their mediocre software and signing up and giving them all my info in order to get it off my product that I have purchased. I understand, use a card reader fixes that problem, but that adds unneccessary steps to my workflow.
I have windows and I can copy and paste right off the card. What kind software do they have thT you are forced to use on the computer
@@KennethGreenCMP What GoPro are you using?
@@motorcycle-man 2 - 9's and a 10
@@KennethGreenCMP i have used a gopro 4 and 10 and in both of them i have always just plugged the sd card in to my computer and just copy paste the files
Interestingly, I found the same issues; other than stabilisation, happened on my 7, rather than my 10. My suggestion would be to switch out your SD to one with a higher clock speed.
In germany you'd say it's a monday model because of its bugs. I got the Gopro10 with me in june on a five-day-motorcycle-holiday at Lago di Como (Italy). The Gopro was attached to the handlebar and connected to an USB socket. There was only one issue on our way back home when it suddenly asked me to connect it to a power source. Ok, that was really annoying but I took over 25 hours of footage including Vlogging parts (battery) on sightseeing tours in different cities without any problems. Also no issues with stabilizing. I'm not a Gopro fanboy but really satisfied with this cam. I used no mods or cases.
The SD card error actually is a problem the sd card is faulty for. If your settings are too high, the sd card can not write the data as quick as it must in this situation. Hence, if you have high settings you need an sd card with higher writing speed.
-> instead of the sandisk extreme you need the sandisk extreme pro. I do not have this problem because I never go beyond 2,7k resolution.
You are the master of video cuts, so much info in so little time. Another nice uload!
Why GoPro WHY?! I loved my hero 7 with a purple panda mic. Then after a year and half it started acting up. Now it’s untrustworthy. The newer gopros are even less reliable it sounds like. I’ve been using insta360 one r 4K mod and it’s super reliable. Video looks pretty good, not quite GoPro. But external mic doesn’t work well so I capture audio on a h2n. That’s fine when I’m on my own. But with the guys making them pull over every time I want to start or stop a camera is just too much. I hate everything now 😂
Insta360 are getting there! I have faith
@@MotoFeelz I’m actually setting up my one X2 as a helmet cam for long trips. That way I can just use it as is. You know what was a super good cam. The Sony fdr-x3000. 4K, optical stabilization, 3.5 mic right in with good auto leveling. Mine still works but I hate side mounted cameras.
@@TheGardenSnake what did you use for external audio on the x2?
I feel your pain and frustration!! I’ve had soo many problems with my hero10s too. When I got the SD card error, I blamed it on forgetting to format the sd card after removing footage of it via my computer. Happened after a full day of recording and the sd card showed up completely empty on my laptop 🤯 took me 1,5 day of googling and trying, but in the end, managed to recover 40gb of footage from that sd card using the recover software from recovergopro . com.What a relief but GoPro really messed up with this camera, I agree!
i was watching his review and then asked myself ; does itchy boot has the same problems , and then here you are . i think hero 4 and hero 7 are the best cameras for motovlogging , the think is hero 7 has low battery performs , it will be great if they fix that .
@@kechrider I've had major issues with the Hero 7. Go pro sent me replacements for it twice and even they were faulty...The quality of the newer Go pro's are so poor.
GoPro have recovering software!? Guess they wouldn't promote it that much haha. I see you've been rocking 2 Hero 10's and i've asked myself how you trust them.. but i guess you don't. Thanks for sharing Noraly!
Does fully formatting the Sd card work?
@@MotoFeelz DCRAINMAKER did a massive review on the camera saying it was so good and no overheating yet people are still recording overheating issues and problems with memory card . I really hate when these big youtubers make biased reviews because the company is clearly paying them.
I have had similar issues with the GP8. My tips:
* Record without a battery. Use a USB battery bank in your jacket pocket. Prevents shutdown due to overheating.
* Format the SD card in the camera each time you transfer footage to your PC. This helps avoid SD card errors.
* Learn what a VPN actually does and doesn't do to protect you. Websites can still know who you are via cookies and fingerprinting.
All that for a $500 product? ...Or you just don't spend so much money on ...well ..junk. And by the way, for helmet installation this brick cameras have been shit for ever, just because they are a fucking brick! ... What people would need is a DETACHABLE camera module ..so you can put the brick in a pocket and mount the very slim camera lens module somerwhere on the helmet ..where nobody would even notice it! ... GoPro just has never worked for motorcycle helmets.
By the time gopro makes a new perfect camera for motovlogs and we all switch to it, we will shed a tear for the gopro 7 for staying loyal thru all these years.
No way you posted this today! I have the gopro10 in my amazon cart right now and this changed my mind. GoPros tripping out are so infuriating I laughed when you had to walk out of the room. Thanks for the info
Ahha BAIL!
7 black All day on Powamoto
I have the same problem, and I have also a mediamod. I got also a frozen GoPro 10 when it is of, and it is charching via the Mediamod.
When the Gopro is frozen you can press the on/off button for 20 sec. You have the same outcome as removing the battery. It is a lot quicker.
Been using the 10 and I never had any of your issues, maybe you have a faulty model?
I’ve been using the hero9 for the past year, no problem so far, except since 2 months my hero9 started freezing while recording like 1 time out of 20, and when it does that, all I can recover is the footage before the freeze.
It seems that it’s not only a hero10 problem
And speaking of the hero10 I’ve heard it does not handle the heat, and the battery dies real quick when it’s cold.
I always turn quick capture off since older gopro's, Problem is sometimes it doesn't have external audio.
I had similar issues with my 9. Updated it via app, then had to manually do it with PC. Formatted card in computer, in camera as well. Still had issues with freezing, corrupted files, etc. I ended up turning off all functions I don't really use. Hindsight, GPS, quick capture. Haven't had a single issue since turning off all those functions. My thinking is that there's just too many functions in such a small/cheap camera. It can't handle the work load of video recording and multiple other functions simultaneously.
Yea i agree with ya. Just keep it simple and reliable - that's all we need
I just bought the 10 Hero few weeks ago and right on the first usage I experienced problems. Files were corrupted, changed SD card (from the one supplied with the kit), Gopro glitches, turn off by itself or reboot, freeze beyond recovery (had to pull the battery off and on), pink videos and so on... all within the first week of usage. Then seeing this video and reading the comments section hinted me that there was some who don't have issues, plus a friend of mine on Discord told he got it at the same place (Costco) and didn't encounter any issues. So I brought it back to Costco and replaced it. A week later? not a single glitch at all. So bottom line, I think Gopro has a serious QA problem in their division. It doesn't inspires me to know that my working Gopro could potentially degrade after some short or long term usage with the heating issues, but so far so good.
I've had the same problem with the SD card 3 times, I lost all the footage. I was using the recommended SanDisk SD card and that was crap. Then I decided to try the Lexar one and that has worked perfectly since day 1! Super recommended, not using a SanDisk again with GoPro (For reference: Lexar Professional 1066x 256GB microSDXC UHS-I Serie Silver)
Yea I've found Samsung cards better too. SanDisk is a bit of a toss of the dice.
Crazy! I'll try this
@@MotoFeelz I've gone through the same experience (Strapping up cars for Street and Drag racing) which is why I will only use Lexar SDs from now on.
@@MotoFeelz did it work?
This is something I'll need to try as currently I'm using extreme Pro Sandisk and I have a lot of problems with my 9. I have less problems since I have lowered the resolution from 4k to 2.7k, which tells me that either the camera its not stable recording 4k, or maybe there is an SD card issue that's not capable of process the 4k footage fast enough. They recommend sandisk extreme, I have the extreme pro which is even fast. And I ahve tried another sandisk card, same issues.
I'll try this and see if it works. Curious if anyone else has tested this?
I use the 7 Black using the Scandisk SD card and have had a few similar problems, freezing the video but continues to record audio. Solutions that work for me: 1. I changed brands of SD card and have not had the problem of frozen video since. 2. Media mod sucks, I use the Ulanzi cage with the intergrated audio adapter "holder", easy to change batteries, SD cards and remove the camera if I want to. So far so good!
I've used GoPro's for years and found out what causes and what fixes SD card errors. 1:
Stop using Sandisk cards. The amount of users having issues using these cards it mind blowing. Use Samsung Evo cards instead. 2: Realize that lockups and freezes are usually caused by SD card corruption. Formatting in the GoPro does NOT fix SD card corruption as the GoPro can only perform a "quick" format. Here's a video explaining SD card errors and how to fix it: ruclips.net/video/633S-6lagDI/видео.html
I've used SanDisk Extreme Pro SD's for years with no issues, but it was on DSLRs with full size SD cards, not micros. That's interesting to know the micro cards can be sketchy with GoPro, good to know!
@@joeninja1364 Yeah, it's interesting, if you read the support forums, the amount of people having issues with the GoPro Sandisk combination is just amazing. Nearly every single one of them have the same thing in common, Sandisk cards. After I showed people how to properly format their cars, I'd say about 85% of them didn't have any further issues. Those that did, I told them to switch to Samsung Evo cards and their issues went away completely. So not sure if it's a card speed issue, reliability issue or what. I only use Samsung cards in any of my GoPro's, have once had a data loss issue or a camera lockup.
@@DemonViewLLC Dang. Well, I'm gonna keep using SanDisk for my DSLR but low-key I think I'm gonna swap over to Samsung for my Hero 9 I'm picking up. Thanks for that!
The issue that I have had multiple times is when I go to upload my footage via cable/media mod. And it will not read it. I end up having to take the micro SD card out and insert it in the card reader on the PC.
Yea mine claps out too sometime. And it doesn’t delete the files automatically sometimes. It’s confusing as hell
I have a Hero 10 showing up tomorrow... and a 9 showing up in a couple days... I ditched all my GoPro’s for the Osmo action last year but I continue miss that amazing wide angle shot and clean sounding audio so I figured I’d give GoPro another shot sense before the finicky mic adapter drove me crazy and now the media mod has seemed to fix that issue but I’m still nervous. Just hearing the GoPro beeps gives me anxiety😅
Yeah we've found it crappy too (RidingOnEggshells). It crashes, the sound isn't great, even with the media mod, which sucks a lot of battery. And while the media mod was on, for some reason all my footage was blurry. Just did a 2 week high country ride and found all the footage was bad. I'm furious.
I don't get why yours is so bad? You might have a defective unit. My Hero 10 is quite good. Haven't had issues with it. Try contacting GoPro support about the issue.
Daily motovlogger here, no issues with the 10 I got this past Christmas. My only issue is charging and batteries.
I went from your last video promoting the 10 to this. Thank you for your honesty. I bought a GoPro once and it did this constantly. Really bad for someone with an anger problem.
I have the GoPro Hero8 (x2) and generally have had no issues other than a couple of times it has not wanted to start and have had to take the battery out and back in.
My biggest gripe is the remote.
When I brought the second camera I also brought the remote which should then allow you to switch them both on or off in unison, but that stopped responding and it could not be a range issue because it was right near the bar mounted camera and half a metre from the one mounted on a helmet mount.
😖

Back on Two Wheels
I just found your channel! Love the banter with yourself while riding. I just bought the hero 10 but I've got 14 days to test on a road trip.
As a side note I ride my motorcycle around the world and I'll look to you for moto vlogging setup once I get back on it!
Keep it up man!
I had the same SD card error once (GoPro 10) and I lost 2 days footage on the mountains. It pissed me off! Then I had issues with the batteries and the reliability was low. Media mode the same. For an action camera which is on the market for so many years this was unacceptable!
I sold it, bought a DJI Action 4 and never looked back...
Tons of people moto logging hate Go Pro unless its the older ones. Seriously ... stick to what you use if it works. Hero 7 isn't bad and it works like you said. Sometimes New is not better.
Had the same issues. Did factory reset and haven't had any issues since then.
Hero 10, Best GoPro ever 👌
I’ll give this a try
@@MotoFeelz already tried? Any issues so far?
Mines been pretty decent... had one issue where external mic didn't work but with the mic levels I now check the internal mic but tapping it to be sure it's on the right mic. Your SD cards don't look like super fast versions, could be your problem
I've had Gopro 1, Gopro 2, Gopro 3, Gopro 6 and now Gopro MAX, and every single god damn time I trust they've gotten better. Early models suffered really bad quality, even though it was amazing they managed pack "so much" in to a little compact camera back then, and not to speak of really bad battery performance, specially on colder days / winter. I had 6 batteries for my Gopro 3, and even then it was nothing but big pile of frustration, because the batteries could not hold the charge. You could spend hours charging batteries the day before to prep for whatever was going to happen the day after, only to find out your batteries were at 50% or below.
The Gopro MAX is probably the best Gopro camera I've owned this far, the batteries have been a whole lot better than what I've experienced before, the camera produces some cool perspectives in it's main 360 form, but also doubles up as a Hero camera with amazing stability capabilities. But still I've suffered a lot of bad connectivity to the app, and everything just freezing a bit too frequent, and I've tried several android phones, as well as my iPad, and it never really mattered too much what I connected the camera too, it would do the same silly shit.
I'll understand things can freeze and lock up, every tech gadget can do that, but a camera that at this pricerange should be better than what it is.
They fix several issues, and introduce more issues elsewhere, and it get's so frustrating to the point that you simply don't go out and record anything.
HOPEFULLY, they'll get their shit straight, and give us a camera that works flawless, but for now I'm not holding my breath. *insert "it is what it is" meme here*
Had a friend who was facing the same SD ERROR with his HERO9 , he sent his camera to GoPro and they replaced it 🤷🏻♂️. He never faced the same issues again after the replacement.
I suggest you to do the same, it’s worth trying!
Btw, my hero 10 never had this kind of issues! Maybe you got one that was manufactured by a lazy bastard 🙄
A Monday camera? Friday camera? If only we could choose the Wednesday products.
Oddly enough I've been having the same issue with the Hero *7* Black, though not as bad. Another motovlogger has pinpointed the issue being bloated batteries though, so for Hero 7 owners reading this, you're probably best using original batteries that haven't bloated.
Exactly. I actually have had a terrible experience with the 7. SD read issues, lost files, frozen screens. Sounds like mine (and his) story is far too anecdotal to affect anyones buying decision…
@@SortofJacob There was some settings on the 7 that caused issues as far as I know, low light and auto-right (rotation of footage), as well as bad cards. Changing that solved it for a number of people, but I'm not sure it was ever officially recognised as a fix. The 8 batteries I've got have bloated where the 7s all seem fine (but have got a lot less use). I had issues with the 7, less with the 8 and nothing too extreme yet on the 10, but haven't used it much...
A couple of months ago I purchased the 11 and while I don't have the same issues as you have with the 10, I've had serious issues to the point where I've been tempted to drop it off my helmet mount at 100km/h and test out the no questions asked replacement fee for subscribers! Rear screen drops out and only battery removal fixes it (more annoying when removing the media mod). Cannot for the life of me connect to preview on the phone so I can see what I'm filming - it connects about 1/10 times. Cannot upload media so I have to pull straight off the SD card. Many great rides with the intention of filming some amazing scenery from the saddle have not eventuated and therefore I miss out on the main thing a GoPro gives you - the ability to capture the moment when you're in it! Not sure if GoPro is for me...
I feel the same too. Over heating is always the problem for hero 10. Since I live in Vietnam where always summer, means always fighting with over heat.
The metal case Ulanzi G9-5 solved the GoPro Hero 10 overheating problem even in the heat of Vietnam.
I bought my Hero 10 after your first review. Thanks m8, wish i had this heads up before.
You and me both!
Rob have you thought of formatting the SD card with the GoPro ? Thats what I always do and I don't mix and match SD cards and equipment. In theory it should help avoid errors
My GooPoo also makes problems. But only when is on USB charger. It hangs up, it starts by itself, it turns off by itself. The most used feature is i think hard reset. Press power button and hold it for more than 10 seconds. This will reset your GooPoo.
I go through this with my GoPro 8 so I would say maybe its just a bad go pro and the specific thing youre talking about is why i stopped using the quick capture feature.
I don't know what to say. It's looks like everyone I know have different problems with their GoPro, no matter which version you have. My friend and I bought the GoPro Hero 7 at the same time because of the Hypersmooth feature first introduce back then. I still use the GoPro 7 till now. But every time I use it, it has to freeze at least 1 time on me. I have to remove the battery and put it back to reset it. Because of that, I had missed a few great videos in the past. My friend have the same issue with his GoPro Hero 4, 7 et now 10. I had the SD card error once with the 7 too. I lost all the footage that day. I only use genuine GoPro battery and the best SD card possible.
I love GoPro for what it is but they are so unreliable for sure. Never had any problem like that with my other gear from Canon & Sony. It's good to hear that your Hero 7 seems to work all the time. It's not the case with mine. I really want to upgrade to the new 10 with all the new feature but I don't know how it will turn out for me lol. Nice video by the way!
Bad SD cards in the both cases, try a modern new card, UHS II. They have about 10,000 write/erase cycles. The media mod causing overheating caused freeze, if you would have just held the power button in it would have shut down and upon restart it would have saved your footage. Taking the battery out was your mistake causing the loss of footage. So the only issue is the overheating issue which has been known about since hero 10's release.
Yeah, I've experienced some of the same weirdness.... Locking up, not saving files etc.... That does piss me off big time. Battery thing isn't a worry as I have an Artman charger that charges 3 batteries at once (in a closed container) and I use that in my tank bag.... that is rock solid. But I hope they do fix it. By the way, if you like the push on ND, then check out the Sandisk variable ND. It pushes on and it's great that you can tune the ND density on the fly, but it's no good for adventure bike riding, I need the secure NDs.
I have had the Quick Start freeze problem many times! I lost all the footage of a great ride in Vermont! So disappointing.
Ps. Agree with you about the charger!
I bought my GoPro 10, for a trip to the USA, and it always fails me, in the cold it definitely fails a lot, it was terrible to know that I couldn't record much, fortunately I brought a GP9, a DJI Osmo Action and an Insta360 OneR, and the last two They were the best.
Same exact issues happen on my 7 Black. So I don't think its the 10's fault.
Thanks for this info bro, planning to buy hero 10 but after watching this, I'll go for hero 8 instead Ride safe always 👍 🇵🇭
The Hero 8 has the same problems...
@@CapitaineMotard The error in the 8 also occurs with the quick capture since it does not connect the auxiliar microphone but leaves the external ones working, if you go by motorcycle this is a disaster.Solution: must buy the mic adapter and forget the mediamod.

These same issues have come and gone from every GoPro since the very first one.
I remember having the same problems on my HERO 2....
The day DJI release a firmware update for the original Osmo Action to include a superview, it will solve all these issues. Such a great unit for motovlogging 🤙
I’m so keen to check one of these units out
@@MotoFeelz DJI OSMO ACTION Mk1 ..... works like a charm. Cheap now due to Mk2, (which is useless.)
@@blackline66 rock steady @ dcine are awesome
Mortified to see this video as I have the media mod showing up for my Hero 10 in several hours and hope to start motovlogging...
Same issue’s. GoPro Hero 9. Plus the camera battery won’t work at 32 degrees or below. Purchased the new Enduro batteries and the camera crashing issue became more frequent.
4k 60fps 120 fr. ND filter and I use the media mod.
Never had any issue’s with my Sony pov.
Damn that's effing cold!
Thanks for sharing this video Moto Feetz. I still have my little Session 5 hero cube camera which works fine and is so versatile and light - i mainly use it for snorkel diving shoots because of it's smaller cube shape, it can put it in my suit pocket easily while floating. This year was going to be my first moto vlogging year (and i did watch your vlog about the hero 10) - i used my Psychic powers to divine that it would be best to get a Go Pro 8 - and save about.....$100? because i later realised you have to also by a media mod and extra batteries, mic - and before you know it, the original camera budget grows extra arms and legs.
i bought an aluminum case for my gopro to help with the overheating. helps a TON
I record my rides with a gopro 10 for a few years now and it has never let me down, super nice quality and work. I heard from some people there was a production issue and some cameras came with issues. So maybe you got one of those. Some friends also use the 10 and no issues at all. But it is quite frustrating when it happens... I love them gopros but thinking on switching to the DJI Osmo soon, lets see.
Came across this video as I was researching my ongoing issue of SD card errors when using 256GB cards. Doesn't seem to happen with smaller. These SD cards are so random for me. Frustrating. Spoke with GoPro and of course got the "never heard of it" before.
Try using the SanDisk EXTREME Pro Micro SD card. It should help with fewer issues. The one you use is a Extreme Ultra and though it'll work in most cases... the EXTREME Pro cards are far more reliable. I have Hero 7s and Hero 10s and have zero issues with the 7 and barely any issues with the 10 when using Extreme Pro cards. 64GB or 128GB capacities.
Are those the ones with black / red instead of gold / red ?
I’ve tried twenty different brands and speeds of cards including the one you recommended as I became fixated with this issue and the camera still crashes. It is useless if it is unreliable. GoPro will also tell you to make sure the card is formatted and then don’t hear from them again. I don’t know how they’re getting away with this. It’s only a matter of time before they get sued by a production company.
@@404michaelnotfound yes. black & red with extreme PRO . i'd say the Extreme PRO is easily 20% faster than the Extreme & Extreme Plus speeds.
the extra upfront cost pretty much irrelevant once you realize that your devices will actually work when using the PRO cards haha.
@@WheelieGoodTV yeah! some of the things i do are...
1.) always format the card while IN the GoPro
2.) never delete files while the card is in a card reader.
3.) never use the card for a different device (even if it's an identical device.)
4.) 64GB cards seem to have less hassles.
5.) a good card storage case. dust/water proof. keep away from sun/heat.
6.) my gear is always in a dehumidifier cabinet when not used. cards & readers too.
7.) i know some of this might seem excessive, but it helps with reliable.
But yes, even with all of these precautions... my Hero 7 BLACK is still more reliable than the 10 BLACK.
But you shouldn't have any issues with the 10. Barely isn't good enough.
When after riding and recording the whole day, if your files are corrupt, dont say your day is wasted! Your reason of riding your motorbike should not be to capture some video but enjoying riding and having fun :)
On my soon to be returned Hero 10 at 4k 60fps, with media mod, external mic... I get 15 mins before the piece of junk overheats. That is in 40mph winds strapped to my helmet. That is a far cry from 40-60 mins. The breaking of the video into little five min chunks would have been nice to know and understand before purchasing too. Forgot to mention it randomly turns itself on. Its a pain.
I’ve got a full vid on similar issues and why I don’t use this camera for Motovlogging anymore. It’s such a shame
@@MotoFeelz mind posing the link? I'm going to Best Buy in the morning.
@@MotoFeelz looking forward to the video. I'm using a gopro hero session 5 for my ebike recording in 1080p 60fps and am in need of a new action cam. been debating on which insta360 to buy and was thinking about a gopro10
@@VietPho don't get the gopro. I'm considering the insta360
same issues basically. I have 5,7,8,9 and the 9 continues to give me problems. I am on my 3rd one, as gopro replaced the first two. They have been great to deal with and prompt; so no issues there. My gripe is simply with performance. I have spent a lot of $ and have this platform quite 'hard-wired' into my recording lifestyle. I WANT TO KEEP gopro....honestly. I love the product; its that simple. But I have no idea why my 9 wont record continuously. I've tried all the recommendations from those who have had positive results troubleshooting. I cannot rely on the 9 to perform and thats just unacceptable to me. All 3 of my 9's will go to purple screen and shut off video recording while continuing to record audio. They also just freeze up the video while continuing to audio record. This makes riding a motorcycle and recording track or street rides simply impossible. So I will stick with my 8 until something is resolved. After 3 tries on the 9, I am just tired of working on them and wondering if I am getting the shot.
My Hero 8 with Media Mod still sucks. You never know if its recording external audio or not. sometimes youre lucky and most time you not xD
Not sure if this is helpful or not but, someone mentioned the audio records consistently if you use the regular record instead of auto/quick record.
Misma cosa con mi hero 8,solucion,adios mediamod y bienvenido adapter mic,cero problemas ahora.Aprovecho de especificar que el problema es solo en quickcapture,saludos.
That ND filter issue... thats why I bought Ulanzi v3 metal case for hero 7 black so that I can attach 52mm ND filter on it... incase in future I switched to 9 or 10 then u can put that ND filter on the metal case of that particular gopro too..
My Insta 360 One X2 does that same exact thing and I was thinking about getting the Hero 10 but Now? lol idk 🤦🏽♂️
Woahhhh no way! Technology hey haha
I still use my hero 3 black that i used while filming fast and furious 7, yes, we used 20 gopros on the trailer, and we didnt miss a single shot.
How can I not give this awesome video a thumbs up? Great job! Thank You.
Glad you liked it!
and i just sold my hero 7 black becouse i buyed the 10 pro ... i hope they will fix the issues until the weather warms up in my region
Here's hoping!
Got my Hero 10 in early Feb 2022. Have the latest firmware and I too have experienced the same issues as you regarding unit freezing, very disappointing. Luckily for me, never experienced the SD card error.
Similar issue with GH8, since then i am not using GoPro at all. DJI and Insta360 are better now.
I really wanna suss out the DJI, heard great things
Wow. I almost wonder if it is a camera specific thing or a combination of factors causing it.
I use the Hero 10 for videos across a few channels and haven't had it fail me yet. The Hero 9 on the other hand has had problems since the first month of use. In fact it locked up on me yesterday during a recording.
Weird stuff
How long do you record? I cant record a 4k 60fps video longer than 15 mins before it overheats.
@@abundantharmony Wow. If I am riding I can record for as long as the batteries last.
If I am doing stationary videos I don't usually record in very long continuous segments, but have done a few 20 minute sessions without problems.
Do you have the camera mounted on a tripod or mount, or are you recording stationary with the camera sitting flat on a surface?
Firmware update and a factory reset solved my issues. Not one error since. I had the freezing issue before that.
I’ll give this a try
I bought 2 Gopro 10s. I was super happy with the first 1 but the 2nd one was a P.O.S, returned it and got an 11. No issues with either the 10 or 11 I have now.
I have had nothing but issues with my 7 since I bought it. So frustrated we spent so much money on something to have the exact issues you showcased in this video. I definitely would never buy another GoPro again, but would love for this one to work for me
I've never had any issues with mine, as long as I don't fill the SD card completely. Then I get an endless beep, so removing battery is needed to stop it. If I want to record I need to swap SD cards.
Keep in mind you need a fast sd card. too slow write speed and it won't work. No issues with the firmware. But the original black battery and the batteries with blue strip on it run out of juice in seconds or a minute in sub zero temps. and I read Enduro batteries that fix this issue don't work with 7. Session 4 works in sub zero temps for a while. But that's not a 4k camera, it's 1080p. And will overheat in 30C.
That freezing with the light blinking i've had happen to me on the osmo action cam. And yeah, i use 3 hero 7s stress free, lol.
I had the same problem with the sd card which is extremely frustrating.
GoPro had to replace my GoPro hero 10
I don’t worry about the batteries because I have a battery mounted to the back of my helmet that powers my GoPro for eight hours solid.
First time using my hero 10 on the bike, I found it would unpair from my phone and stop recording after a while. I would have to pull over to switch it back on again just for it to record a few more minutes then turn off again. It would then get to the point where it wouldn’t switch on at all. I was using external power as well. Eventually it would turn on but then repeat the process over again.
I got the media mod for it but the hero 10 will not recognize it at all. You can charge it via the port on the media mod, but that’s it, it will not switch to media mod mic or external mic when plugged in. I bought the hero 9 and media mod works fine on that.
I had been using the Sony action cameras prior to switching to GoPro, the Sony ones have not let me down.
I have the 9, the problem with the SD card I've had it a couple of times but only with some SD cards, the problem with the gopro freezing luckly it only happenned once or two but it's very annoying when you are motovlogin
I also use ND filters and I have the ones that also pops up I don't know it you heard about them, they are from telesin.
Keep up with the good work.
Thanks dude, this is extremely helpful info
No issues in mine except when i plug the charger with the original battery, i changed it to telesin batteries ,everything went perfectly
Luck of the draw I reckon, I am no expert, though id try changing the settings used IE activity 4K/30 lens wide hypersmooth standard bitrate high shutter auto ev comp -1.5 white balance 5k iso min 100 max 1600 sharp low colour flat raw audio low wind on. forget the audio addons and just give it a go. the settings here I just typed, they are really good for keeping the sun reflection down off surfaces and allow enough light when in the shade. I got these settings/inputs from a dirt biker and the result is amazing once produced.
I have the hero 8 and only one time has the Ed card error issue. Managed to fix it by pulling the Ed card out, putting it into my h1n zoom and recording a short audio file. Then putting it back in the GoPro. Not sure why it worked - maybe it cleared some hidden cache file in the card or something (that sounded like I know what I’m talking about - but I don’t. I was just desperate and it worked). I’ll be sticking with the 8 for a while).
Thanks for this video! I'm looking at getting into Motovlogging and will pass on the Hero 10 now. Would you suggest the Hero 8 as the Hero 7 isn't as available anymore?
Following as I'm also interested if you would recommend the Hero 8 over the Hero 7 because you've just convinced me not to get the 10! Thanks for the heads up btw I'd take your experiences with this stuff any day of the week.
As far as I know with gopro 8 black there may be some problems when using ND filters and hypersmooth 2.0 stabilisation..
I don't use nd filters and gopro 8 it's brilliant 👌 for me
I have a hero8 as far as I know from recording it is ok I’m not sure about ND filters I can give you a feedback next week still waiting for my order 😛 but video wise it’s very nice for motovloging ! Wishing you a good start bro 😎
i would get an 8 if i were you. my friend has a hero 7 silver and i just bought an 8. the 8 has so many features and settings vs the 7 and its only like 50 bucks more maybe 100 depending on where you go or if you get it used. his 7 has froze but that was the things with the silver so i got an 8 and sooo much better he wants to borrow it now lol
I'm exclusively recommending goprohero7 black. Don't believe me? Come race 🏁
So In this case would you recommend the insta360 1x2 for motovlogging instead of the GoPro 10?
For anyone having issues like Moto Feelz is having, I have a very elaborate setup I’m about to try out with my helmet. Getting rid of the Media Mod. I feel like the Media Mod is the culprit with hero 10. I’m going with a modular helmet, hero 10, 3.5mm mic adapter, housing for it, rode wireless go 2, external battery source and a microphone from some $15 earbuds I ordered on amazon. I should have a test run up either 7/30/22 or 7/31/22.
Any updates on that setup ?
I’ll post in main comment section. Sec
My bad, thought this comment was on my video 🤣
So… yes a slight update, however still having an audio issue that I truly believe will be fixed next weekend. I drive truck so I’m gone through the week. The setup I have currently is Shoei neotec 2. Have “Chin Mount (brand)” chin mount on the front. Gopro is mounted to it. There’s a casing I have for the 3.5mm gopro audio adapter that is also attached. I bought 2 cold shoe mounts, used double sided gorilla tape, and mounted 1 on the chin, to the left of the gopro, and mounted the other to the right side of the helmet. I have the rode wireless go 2 system, and slid those into the cold shoes. This eliminates the need to have a wire going to the gopro and being unable to open the modular helmet..
Kinda looks wicked.. but it’s a little much. The problem is.. first I used a wired headphone thing for android I assume, cut the earbuds off and taped the microphone to the check pad. That worked up till about 50-60 mph, then was just too much. So scrapped that, used a Rode Lavalier Go.. it picks up too much noise and cause voice distortion/clipping. Turning the rode wireless go down to -30 dB still didn’t work. Probably because the mic is +35 dB if I remember correctly.. so still has a +5 dB gain. I have a new mic on the way and it has a -35 dB rating on it, so I’m really hoping that will solve the issue. Ya know, buy an old cheap mic that you have to scream into.. that way it doesn’t pick up outside noises. So, that’s the update. I’ll do a video on my channel here shortly. It will be a one take and I’ll use pictures so people can get a reference. May take a min to upload cause my service is rough at the moment
Damn I just bought this...first vlog went smoothly but now I'm nervous 😅
this has happened to me. Infact after my brothers marriage he took the gopro 10 to a trip and there it just froze and SD CARD error was there. All beautiful memories went away just like that. When he came back we had to pay to recover the files and then he left that camera with me. I tried things and finally degraded and upgraded the firmware. After that i tried using gopro using all possible features and found that the problem of freezing, sd card error, and quick record button not working resolved. I hav not used it after that but will be doing it soon , hopefully the issues remain resolved. Finger crossed. I have a gopro 7 too.
Quick capture has never worked for me as advertised. I have hit the button, it looks like its recording until I go and check it to realize it only recorded for 3 mins.
Yep, same issues here
I have the 10 and ive never had any of these problems. Weird, only problem I've ever heard is the overheating issue. And that's an easy fix.
Ride faster right?
@@MotoFeelz pretty much lol
I have the 10 as my motovlogging cam and I do strongly agree - the quality sucks. When it works, it's great but the software updates they issue kill your camera half the time in some bizarre way. It also freezes randomly on me when I scroll through the screen while adjusting the settings. I was super excited for it by the way and have had the Session since 2015 and that one is solid.
I want to love GoPro, really do. But never again will I buy another one unless I see overwhelming positive feedback from others.
I've had the same issues with my 10 as well, and yes, I hate the charger! But my 7 just recently stopped doing the quick record. I have to turn it on and start. So I'm torn between the two. I hate that you get the "upgraded" camera and have twice the issues.
Oh geeez. Yeah i have the 9 and also have the same issues. It always recovers the footage but why the hell don’t they fix that crap. I’m going on a ride through the New Mexico BDR in May and will be bringing my 7 for sure. What a PITA.
Oh my god I feel your pain 10 fold Rob!!!
The GoPro Hero 8 with media mod is no different in that it'll turn itself on and off when it feels like it, it freezes on the road so again, need to pull over, take the helmet off, get my screwdriver out, undo the GoPro, take the media mod off, pull the battery out, out it back in attach media mod, put it back on the helmet blah blah blah..... IT SUX!!!
I'm so keen to get rid of it and check out the DJI Action, that seems reliable.
I've also found the GoPro has just decided not to record full hours of video even though it was recording.
I'm ranting, I'm fired up.
Yes, I feel you brother!
GoPro are done.
@@MotoFeelz Totally agree!
Telesin ND filters go on top of the lens... No twisting required
If you use a Ulanzi cage, you can use a 52mm nd filter or a Sandmarc pop on filter or telesin pop on nd filters
Yea, them Telesin filters look like a goer
I had the same issue with the SD card. A whole day of recording gone
Such a bummer!
