I decided to buy an action camera and immediately went and bought a GoPro 11 because my iPhone 11 was not enough. Then I noticed this heating problem that all of these Action cameras had but I didn't know about. And I was devastated. I saw a few videos on RUclips and none of them helped, until I saw this video of yours. .I shot an incredible 4k 30 fps video for about 2 hours. Then I said enough was enough and left. An incredible result. Thank you very much. Sorry for my English.
Very interesting. Using the original cable, removing the gopro battery and connecting to a usb pack allows it to run without overheating. I was hesitant to pick up a gopro 11, but now I definitely will knowing this works.
That's what worked for me, I'd upload the entire video of the test, but honestly.... who's going to want to watch 8 or 9 hours of..... nothing... It's bad enough trying to get people to watch 8 minutes of "something"... Good luck and let me know of your experience with your setup!
Picked up GoPro 11 Creator Edition: took out battery, tripod mounted, 5k 30fps, high bit, 1/60th shutter, ISO 100, put tiny computer fan against the empty, doorless battery compartment and went to 90 minutes and I decided to just stop it (went to bed late waiting!). However, 2nd test the GoPro just stopped recording (time clock stopped) but was still “on”. Had to remove/replace batter to reboot. So….if GoPro can fix the “crash” or random stopping, it would be amazing. 👍 PS: GoPro only became warm and never hot during the 2 tests!! More testing coming.
Soooooo.... as you probably saw, I had issues with my own GoPro camera turning off during my testing and the culprit proved to be the cable I was using. Using the original GoPro cable that came with the camera (or the longer one that comes with the USB-C pass thru door) and there were no issues, however using a 3rd party cable resulted in random power offs for no reason. So you may want to check out that. Since your camera was tripod mounted, did you make sure you disabled hypersmooth and GPS? Also unless there's a lot of movement in your shot, you can also set the bit rate to low. The bad thing is, that since you had a random stop, this could have corrupted your SD card. Until repaired, you may experience more random lock ups. So you may want to look at that before you start recording again. 90 mins is a heck of a long time to be recording continuously using an action camera. Unless you're in a noisy environment, you may get better sound using the in camera mics and not the media mod mics (I did a video explaining why). I look forward to hearing more from your testing results. Testing can be time consuming, especially battery testing or overheating testing, so good luck and I hope you have a LOT of coffee!
@@DemonViewLLC Will do more precise testing today using 2 GoPro 11. Have infrared thermal gun this time to plot on an X/Y graph the temp over time. My long shots are intended to be in-studio use with recording time max of 60 min (40 min being average really), tripod mounted, GPS off, hyperview/stabilizer off, 4k 30 fps, 10 bit, bit rate either maximum or one step down (for quality and variable zoom in on interviewed subject and host). Details coming post-test. iPhone 13 Pro max used for wide shot (host and guests combined) and GoPro used as B and C cameras to focus strictly guest and host (ie 3 camera shoot). iPhone using FiLMiC Pro app, 4k, 30 fps, 10 bit, 100-120 mbps data rate.

@@TonyBabarino The USB-C passthru door comes with a nice long original cable, so for powering externally, that's a real advantage. Like you, I also wish GoPro sold these individually rather than having to buy a passthru door each and every time you want one.
Found your discussions in many forums talking about this issue. Seems like a lot of the problems are related to the internal battery causing mass radiated heat. I have the Volta so I will be trying to run it without an internal battery and see if that helps. Another suggestion was to change internal batteries once they get hot... Which seems tedious at best. I'll definitely be looking at using these settings you recommended. Hopefully battery technology continues to get better and that will help with this issue as well. I Liked and Subscribed. Appreciate this test as I'm doing 90% of my filming for a channel I'm working on off a Go Pro hero 9 Black, Hero 11 Creators edition, and a Insta360 One X2. So having them shut off while I'm traveling will not be acceptable.
Glad you found the test helpful. While it's always been the case of removing the internal battery while powering externally (at least since the Hero 2!) to keep the GoPro running cooler, in this case, using the original GoPro Cable seemed to help prevent both thermal and unknown shutdowns when running 4K 30FPs. So that was really surprising. I'm sure there are other cables out there that may achieve the same thing, but it really is a case of "not any old cable will do". I just purchased some new cables, a USB 3.0 extension cable and a USB-C 3.2 extension cable. So I may repeat the tests using those options combined with the original GoPro cable (after all, people may require more length and further reach for their needs). I may have to do another test with the Samsung Evo SD card vs the Sandisk Extreme to see if that's a factor too. Thanks for your comment, it was really interesting to read your feedback and camera uses

Hi, thanks for your comments elsewhere... just tried the GoPro original cable... 1080 25fps (all I need) - fills the card, four hours plus, in the Mod, with the battery... No heating cut out. Crazy! (Doesn't explain my two-hour HDMI switch to playback, but hey, a great advance. Thanks!) Interesting why GoPro don't know this or advertise it!
Glad that worked out for you. The default advice GoPro tends to give out is "are you using the original cable that came with your camera". Looks like there's a good reason for that. In this video, there didn't seem to be an overheating issue when using the 3rd party cable, the GoPro simply shut down for no apparent reason, so I suspect it's an impedance issue and the camera just wasn't getting a steady power supply. So maybe the GoPro cable is just made from higher quality materials.
Some kind of related issue! I use hero 8 mostly in Thailand. 30 degrees Celsius, it's a standard temperature. The camera gets hot severely, but has never stopped recording. However, original batteries get swollen, so you can't get them out. Last time I have ripped off the back part of the battery with plastic tail. Scary moment! It has never happened with TELESIN. I have never compared capacity between them, but the choice is simple!
Yes the choice is simple... a GoPro Enduro battery! LOL GoPro Battery swelling is caused by the electrolyte inside the battery starting to decay. This degradation will produce gases as a byproduct and cause your battery to swell. One of the leading causes of such degradation is actually exposure to heat. So if you're shooting for long periods of time or charging your batteries right after using them (instead of letting them cool down) this can lead to overheating (using a battery generates heat as does charging a battery). Batteries with a lower discharge rate will also degrade, but may not generate as much heat due to their lower discharge rate so they appear to last longer. Newer batteries that have newer chemistry will also last longer and suffer from less degradation from use. In the case of the Enduro battery, even though it's touted as a "Cold weather battery", due to it's improved chemistry, it's proven to be much more efficient in hotter climates also.
Funny! And very interesting. It is amazing that the cable can make so much difference. My problem is not knowing which cable came with my camera and which are the ones I bought on Amazon that are generic, Now I know that I will put a yellow tape on the Go-Pro cables when I get more. I laughed because I guessed at what the DemonView Sunblock 9000 was going to be.
At least with the #gopro cables, they had the sense to actually print the GoPro logo on them. Just wish they sold the 4.5ft long cables on their website.
Great information! Do you think the Hero 11 won't overheat if I record without battery and all additional features on OFF but in 5.7K 8:7 60 fps 10 bit and in moderate ambient temperature (20 C)? I need to record for more than 1 hour.
Hmm used my hero 10 in 95 degree direct sun with a external power bank for 5 hours on a kayak at 4k 24 fps no problem 😉 That was in south Carolina and in Wisconsin I have recorded for 8 + hours in 75 to 80 degree sun.
WOW I was NOT going to buy this…BUT NOW-THANK YOU SO MUCH!! my plan was to use the GoPro 11 to record church services… but I kept seeing over and over again they overheat after a good half an hour… I was about to invest in a 4K camera, which is over $1000… thank you so much. I’m going to Best Buy to purchase now.!!! August 12, 2023 you will definitely get a like and subscribe….!!! 😊😊
Glad that this information helped. Make sure you pay careful attention to the settings used and equipment used. That will make all the difference. Also use the recommended SD card and not a cheap SD card. Good luck!
Hello sir, i have a GoPro 10. I have anker powerbank rated 5V 3A, i removed battery and removed battery door. I am using the authentic GoPro usb cable and I did a test at least 4 times indoor where the degree is about 70-75 degrees. My setting is at 4k 60fps and hyper smooth at high. The most I'm getting is only 2 hours and the gopro actually overheats while everything I'm doing is exactly what you are doing. I am not sure what's going on, and really trying to figure out how you got it to 6 hours?!?! I'm looking to take a trip overseas and I'm trying to record 4-6 hours per day to get everything there so i am testing to see if the go pro will last and it's not doing it for me. Reaching out for some help. Thank you.
What you are doing is nothing like what I'm doing. You're shooting indoors, why are you filming at 60FPS? Are you trying to get 1/2 slow motions? Also why is your Hypersmooth at high? Again, you're indoors, you shouldn't need hypersmooth turned on at all. Hypersmooth High is used for when you're holding the camera in your hand and running or jogging over extremely rough terrain. You get no benefit at all from hypersmooth high unless you're doing that exact activity. If your camera is mounted and not moving, turn hypersmooth off, you'll increase your FOV and picture quality ss you won't have the cropping present that hypersmooth uses.
Gonna have get external power-pack. Though i read it has to be a power in capable mean this way it won't be powered by a battery guess this means i cant use a standard lead as it needs to be both power in C cable's ends. I need least 2 hour's footage. 2k to 4k interesting me the most. What i really liked on Hero 4s it had 2.7k.
I tried out the power bank 5.3k 30 fps 4:3 recording continuously on go pro 11 3 hours, no over heating... The battery I use when cycleing obviously just incase it rains... wen it rains wen using power bank i need to finish up anyway as its a BIG no no for my keyboard amp and sound recorder to get wet also... wen cyleing, my ebikes fine in heavy rain for an hour
So, basically, battery and low quality cables affect directly overheating, not the resolution. That's it? Can I buy a Hero 11 without overheating worries if I follow these steps?
You probably need to rewatch the video, pay attention to the content and actually "understand" the content of the video. Here's a clue, there's actually a lot of information just in the video title... 🤪
Due to overwhelming demand, the Sunblock 9000 is currently unavailable for purchase as this time. They will be back in stock as soon as I finish partying from all the money I raked in and need to buy more refreshments.
Hi, I have a hero 8 that unfortunately does not work for the videos I am trying to record. I do street walking videos and I need the wider field of view possible at 4K 60FPS. 60 FPS to make the video as smooth as possible. I just ordered the Hero 11, MediaMod, Chest Mount, External Power Bank, A longer cable so it can go from my backpack to my chest and an external mic. I am planning on using the following settings ( unless you could recommend something better ) 4K 60FPS Just normal Hyper-smooth ( low or medium ) Thats about it, no horizon lock, no gps, no voice control, screens off and so on. Temperature where I live is 80~90 with 90%+ Humidity. My videos usually last an hour. I am hoping to get at least 2 hours before the camera overheats. Do you think is possible? Thanks!!!
Hi, thanks for clicking like and subscribe on my channel, I really appreciate that.... You don't need 60FPS to get smooth video, what you need is 24FPS with your shutter speed set to 1/48 with an ND filter to darken the image. This will give you buttery smooth footage. If you film in 60FPS you get high frame rate video. This doesn't make things look smooth, this makes them look sharp and clear. It's also known as "The soap opera" effect. So yeah, I'd shoot 4K 24FPS 1/48 shutter speed with ND filters (you'll have to swap filters depending on lighting conditions). Keep Hypersmooth as low as possible, unless you're jogging over giant boulders and jumping over fallen logs, you don't need hypersmooth set any higher than that. I would leave GPS on, it's always good to have GPS data for later on if you want to include a map of where you walked, elevation etc. Set your screens to 10% brightness and to power off after 1 minute. Load the GoPro labs firmware onto your camera, remove the internal battery and power the camera externally. You should be able to shoot without any overheating issues then. Also make sure you're using a recommended SD card that's been formatted in the camera before you first use the camera. When you load on the GoPro labs firmware, make sure you enter the owner information. This way if your camera is lost or stolen, you can have it display your owner information every time it's powered on (and embedded into every photo and video metadata). For low light conditions (night, indoors, artificial light) you're going to want to turn off hypersmooth and use a gimbal.
@@thedronescene7474 You are very welcome, let me know how it turns out and what settings you used. It may help others who want to do the same thing. Good luck!
@@DemonViewLLC Did not work :( Have been testing the camera all day today and it overheats the moment I set the camera to 60FPS. I tested with 4K and all FOV modes and same result. Camera overheats around 20~30 minutes indoor with Air Conditioning at 70F. I will try tomorrow with 30FPS and matching Shutter but to be honest, I want 60 FPS. I like how clear the whole image is at 60FPS. The hero 8 I have can do 60 fps and does not overheat so I do not understand why the 11 overheats. Is supposed to be a “better” camera :(. I also tried with 2 different power banks, and with original GoPro cable. With and without media mod, no battery. :(
You can stabilize the video afterwards using reelsteady or gyroflow. This is what professional users do as it allows them complete control over how stabilization is applied. Also many people use their GoPro mounted on a tripod in a studio environment, which means the camera isn't moving, which guess what? Means you don't need stabilization..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@DemonViewLLC Because most people use action cameras for... action. And there, you are more likely to use 60fps, and the newer GoPros overheat VERY quickly when you do 4k60. If a test is done to prove or disprove the claims of overheating, it might be better to use the settings that those folks are likely to be using, no? I agree, 24 or 30 frames is perfect for sitting in the basement. But is that really what an action camera is for?
@@SquireSCA No they don't. They overheat if they are badly set up. Look at all my other "action" video's where I filmed in 5.3K 30FPS or 5.3k 60FPS and the camera's didn't overheat. Why? Because they were set up properly and I know how to film. "rerunning" the test in 60FPS would not be using the camera to film "action". It would be sitting the camera in a non action environment with no airflow filming in a high resolution and frame rate filming non action scenes.
@@DemonViewLLC How does one "set it up right" on a motorcycle traveling between 50-170mph? You mount it, set it at 4k60, make sure it has wind flow on it, which it does... and it still overheats. I have talked to people using it for diving, so it's submersed in water, and it still overheats. It's a design flaw. Has been since the 10. The 9 had random lockup issues... It's just not a great product any more...
@@SquireSCA Well the 9 is a bad camera, I'll agree with you there. I honestly don't recommend that camera to anyone (which probably doesn't do me any favors with the folks at GoPro, but I have to be truthful). The 9 has the audio cackling issue, the random connection dropping and the inability to crop files when shooting in high res (you have to transfer the entire file to your device first which wouldn't be an issue if it didn't have the random dropped connections issue...). The 9 will also fail to be detected by the app or the remote even though it's turned on and recording. As for "how does one set it up right on a motorcycle travelling between 50 and 170MPH.... " on a racetrack I'm sure as 170mph sounds pretty illegal... I would set the camera up BEFORE I start riding, not during. Then again what do I know, I can barely ride a bicycle, let alone a motor bike. See my other video about overheating and how to prevent it. I honestly haven't had a single case of the 10 or 11 overheating and shutting down on me. And yes, it has been used for scuba diving, in a case (which should make it even hotter) recording in 5.3K 8:7 without overheating.
Because the camera is mounted on a tripod indoors and not moving. Why would I need 60fps? I'm not trying to capture action at a high frame rate or get slow motion shot indoors. The majority of studio Webcam only do 30fps, same with most dslr or mirrorless camera setup options. 30 fps is ideal for this scenario. If you care to sponsor a test at 60fps, I'll happily do so. See the "about" section for a list of sponsorship opportunities.
@@DemonViewLLC I tested my GoPro 10 for hill climb video 4K 60fps it got hot and turned off. I used 1080p 30 fps earlier for capturing videos it didn’t give this problem. Do you think if I don’t use battery. It won’t get hotter ? Note: i recently changed battery. Temperature:30-35’ C
@@bumpywheels Set the rear screen to 10% brightness and to power off after 1 minute. Make sure you're either using an Enduro battery or running without the battery (if powered externally). Frankly I'd even turn off stabilization and stabilize in post with Gyroflow if needed (power saving and you have more control over how the image is stabilized). You should be able to do 4K 30FPS that way.

Did you have the battery in or out
You always remove the battery when powering externally.
What SD card were you using? They seem to be sensitive to bad SD cards causing everything from crashes to overheating.
I only use Samsung Evo cards. Properly formatted of course
For the long success of the recording, exactly what SD card did you use? PS: woulda SanDisk Extreme 32gig micro SD V30 A1 card work well?
I believe the EXACT SD card I used is listed in the video description. There's even a link. I can't comment on Sandisk cards as I refuse to use them.
SanDisk Extreme Pro 👍
WOW I was NOT going to buy this…BUT NOW-THANK YOU SO MUCH!! my plan was to use the GoPro 11 to record church services… but I kept seeing over and over again they overheat after a good half an hour… I was about to invest in a 4K camera, which is over $1000… thank you so much. I’m going to Best Buy to purchase now.!!! August 12, 2023 you will definitely get a like and subscribe….!!! 😊😊
Glad that this information helped. Make sure you pay careful attention to the settings used and equipment used. That will make all the difference. Also use the recommended SD card and not a cheap SD card. Good luck!
Hello sir, i have a GoPro 10. I have anker powerbank rated 5V 3A, i removed battery and removed battery door. I am using the authentic GoPro usb cable and I did a test at least 4 times indoor where the degree is about 70-75 degrees. My setting is at 4k 60fps and hyper smooth at high. The most I'm getting is only 2 hours and the gopro actually overheats while everything I'm doing is exactly what you are doing. I am not sure what's going on, and really trying to figure out how you got it to 6 hours?!?! I'm looking to take a trip overseas and I'm trying to record 4-6 hours per day to get everything there so i am testing to see if the go pro will last and it's not doing it for me. Reaching out for some help. Thank you.
What you are doing is nothing like what I'm doing. You're shooting indoors, why are you filming at 60FPS? Are you trying to get 1/2 slow motions? Also why is your Hypersmooth at high? Again, you're indoors, you shouldn't need hypersmooth turned on at all. Hypersmooth High is used for when you're holding the camera in your hand and running or jogging over extremely rough terrain. You get no benefit at all from hypersmooth high unless you're doing that exact activity. If your camera is mounted and not moving, turn hypersmooth off, you'll increase your FOV and picture quality ss you won't have the cropping present that hypersmooth uses.
Gonna have get external power-pack. Though i read it has to be a power in capable mean this way it won't be powered by a battery guess this means i cant use a standard lead as it needs to be both power in C cable's ends. I need least 2 hour's footage. 2k to 4k interesting me the most. What i really liked on Hero 4s it had 2.7k.
I tried out the power bank 5.3k 30 fps 4:3 recording continuously on go pro 11 3 hours, no over heating... The battery I use when cycleing obviously just incase it rains... wen it rains wen using power bank i need to finish up anyway as its a BIG no no for my keyboard amp and sound recorder to get wet also... wen cyleing, my ebikes fine in heavy rain for an hour
whats the brand of your power bank?

@@RetroBusker thankz bro
So, basically, battery and low quality cables affect directly overheating, not the resolution. That's it? Can I buy a Hero 11 without overheating worries if I follow these steps?
You probably need to rewatch the video, pay attention to the content and actually "understand" the content of the video. Here's a clue, there's actually a lot of information just in the video title... 🤪
Where can i buy the sunblock 9000
Due to overwhelming demand, the Sunblock 9000 is currently unavailable for purchase as this time. They will be back in stock as soon as I finish partying from all the money I raked in and need to buy more refreshments.
i dunno , i filmed 4k 24fps (4h without pause) , outdoor ( walking trough metro Parisien) Never had a problem for overheating ... GP 11 ....
Sounds like you "do know" then!
@@DemonViewLLC i forget to tell ...4 hours of recording ... without stop...
Good for you! Sounds like you know how to use your camera properly.@@mihaiciornei5648
Hi,
I have a hero 8 that unfortunately does not work for the videos I am trying to record.
I do street walking videos and I need the wider field of view possible at 4K 60FPS. 60 FPS to make the video as smooth as possible.
I just ordered the Hero 11, MediaMod, Chest Mount, External Power Bank, A longer cable so it can go from my backpack to my chest and an external mic.
I am planning on using the following settings ( unless you could recommend something better )
4K 60FPS
Just normal Hyper-smooth ( low or medium )
Thats about it, no horizon lock, no gps, no voice control, screens off and so on.
Temperature where I live is 80~90 with 90%+ Humidity. My videos usually last an hour.
I am hoping to get at least 2 hours before the camera overheats. Do you think is possible?
Thanks!!!
Hi, thanks for clicking like and subscribe on my channel, I really appreciate that....
You don't need 60FPS to get smooth video, what you need is 24FPS with your shutter speed set to 1/48 with an ND filter to darken the image. This will give you buttery smooth footage. If you film in 60FPS you get high frame rate video. This doesn't make things look smooth, this makes them look sharp and clear. It's also known as "The soap opera" effect. So yeah, I'd shoot 4K 24FPS 1/48 shutter speed with ND filters (you'll have to swap filters depending on lighting conditions).
Keep Hypersmooth as low as possible, unless you're jogging over giant boulders and jumping over fallen logs, you don't need hypersmooth set any higher than that.
I would leave GPS on, it's always good to have GPS data for later on if you want to include a map of where you walked, elevation etc.
Set your screens to 10% brightness and to power off after 1 minute.
Load the GoPro labs firmware onto your camera, remove the internal battery and power the camera externally. You should be able to shoot without any overheating issues then.
Also make sure you're using a recommended SD card that's been formatted in the camera before you first use the camera.
When you load on the GoPro labs firmware, make sure you enter the owner information. This way if your camera is lost or stolen, you can have it display your owner information every time it's powered on (and embedded into every photo and video metadata).
For low light conditions (night, indoors, artificial light) you're going to want to turn off hypersmooth and use a gimbal.
@@DemonViewLLC thank you so so much :)
@@thedronescene7474 You are very welcome, let me know how it turns out and what settings you used. It may help others who want to do the same thing. Good luck!
@@DemonViewLLC Will do. The camera should arrive tomorrow and will test it om Saturday.
@@DemonViewLLC Did not work :( Have been testing the camera all day today and it overheats the moment I set the camera to 60FPS.
I tested with 4K and all FOV modes and same result. Camera overheats around 20~30 minutes indoor with Air Conditioning at 70F.
I will try tomorrow with 30FPS and matching Shutter but to be honest, I want 60 FPS. I like how clear the whole image is at 60FPS.
The hero 8 I have can do 60 fps and does not overheat so I do not understand why the 11 overheats. Is supposed to be a “better” camera :(.
I also tried with 2 different power banks, and with original GoPro cable. With and without media mod, no battery. :(
If we turn off hypersmooth or stabilization how will a travel video on a car be recorded ? The purpose of Action camera is defeated 😅 right ?
You can stabilize the video afterwards using reelsteady or gyroflow. This is what professional users do as it allows them complete control over how stabilization is applied. Also many people use their GoPro mounted on a tripod in a studio environment, which means the camera isn't moving, which guess what? Means you don't need stabilization..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great for slow motion and time-lapse
Aye, or just long edumicational style video's or going live via OBS.
Put it at 60 frames and rerun the test. Much different result!
Why would I film a vlog in a basement at 60FPS? Do I need to have some sort of slow motion shot for a heating test?
@@DemonViewLLC Because most people use action cameras for... action. And there, you are more likely to use 60fps, and the newer GoPros overheat VERY quickly when you do 4k60.
If a test is done to prove or disprove the claims of overheating, it might be better to use the settings that those folks are likely to be using, no?
I agree, 24 or 30 frames is perfect for sitting in the basement. But is that really what an action camera is for?
@@SquireSCA No they don't. They overheat if they are badly set up. Look at all my other "action" video's where I filmed in 5.3K 30FPS or 5.3k 60FPS and the camera's didn't overheat. Why? Because they were set up properly and I know how to film. "rerunning" the test in 60FPS would not be using the camera to film "action". It would be sitting the camera in a non action environment with no airflow filming in a high resolution and frame rate filming non action scenes.
@@DemonViewLLC How does one "set it up right" on a motorcycle traveling between 50-170mph? You mount it, set it at 4k60, make sure it has wind flow on it, which it does... and it still overheats.
I have talked to people using it for diving, so it's submersed in water, and it still overheats.
It's a design flaw. Has been since the 10. The 9 had random lockup issues... It's just not a great product any more...
@@SquireSCA Well the 9 is a bad camera, I'll agree with you there. I honestly don't recommend that camera to anyone (which probably doesn't do me any favors with the folks at GoPro, but I have to be truthful). The 9 has the audio cackling issue, the random connection dropping and the inability to crop files when shooting in high res (you have to transfer the entire file to your device first which wouldn't be an issue if it didn't have the random dropped connections issue...). The 9 will also fail to be detected by the app or the remote even though it's turned on and recording. As for "how does one set it up right on a motorcycle travelling between 50 and 170MPH.... " on a racetrack I'm sure as 170mph sounds pretty illegal... I would set the camera up BEFORE I start riding, not during. Then again what do I know, I can barely ride a bicycle, let alone a motor bike. See my other video about overheating and how to prevent it. I honestly haven't had a single case of the 10 or 11 overheating and shutting down on me. And yes, it has been used for scuba diving, in a case (which should make it even hotter) recording in 5.3K 8:7 without overheating.
Dont you think you are testing @ 30fps is low ? why don't you try to test@ 60fps
Because the camera is mounted on a tripod indoors and not moving. Why would I need 60fps? I'm not trying to capture action at a high frame rate or get slow motion shot indoors. The majority of studio Webcam only do 30fps, same with most dslr or mirrorless camera setup options. 30 fps is ideal for this scenario. If you care to sponsor a test at 60fps, I'll happily do so. See the "about" section for a list of sponsorship opportunities.
@@DemonViewLLC I tested my GoPro 10 for hill climb video 4K 60fps it got hot and turned off.
I used 1080p 30 fps earlier for capturing videos it didn’t give this problem.
Do you think if I don’t use battery. It won’t get hotter ?
Note: i recently changed battery.
Temperature:30-35’ C
@@bumpywheels Set the rear screen to 10% brightness and to power off after 1 minute. Make sure you're either using an Enduro battery or running without the battery (if powered externally). Frankly I'd even turn off stabilization and stabilize in post with Gyroflow if needed (power saving and you have more control over how the image is stabilized). You should be able to do 4K 30FPS that way.
@@DemonViewLLC yes I am using enduro battery, thanks for the solution. Let me try.
External power supply? Seriously?
Well how else would you manage to shoot a 9 hour video?
