Great presentation. Thank you. I got your book for hero7 - very useful and time saving... I will get the book for hero8.
Thanks so much for commenting and buying the books! Have fun with the new camera!
Do you have more info on the books??I'm thinking to buy it. Does it include anything on editing the videos,postprocessing etc??
Hey guys... Any help here??
I plan to buy a gopro hero 8 for my motocross footage (helmit camera) and use my android phone for pics /small clips of the bike and wondered if its possible to merge the two sources of footage to produce a video that I can edit I.e trim, add music etc through the free gopro app for android phone?
Also I'm 100% going to buy the book through amazon too so I can learn other useful tips but just wondered if what I mentioned above is touched on in the book??
Any feedback would be so much appreciated as I'm very new to video edits... Aidan.
Can you make youtube videos with it?
@@fernandoleon3792 of course... I made all my vidoes for youtube with gopro
GOT IT!! Sometimes we all hate reading through endless pages of an owner’s manual. Your video is like a quick start guide. I can enjoy my camera without having to study tons of material on it. This camera will be with me everywhere I go. My bundle pack came with two batteries, a memory card and a selfie tripod stick. Gonna have so much fun video taping my travels.. 🌎🌏🌍
🛫Thanks for watching and have lots of fun on your travels!
Great vid! Very helpful! My GoPro came with TWO batteries! Lucky me! 😁🎅🏼🎄🎁💪🏽💙
😍😍😍😍
Costco bundle hehehe
There really isn’t much to read tho. That’s the problem. The directions included in mine was one small card
Thank you so much! I just got this for Christmas but my parents had no idea how to set it up so I watched your video and it's set up perfectly now!!
Jordan, wow!!!! The video is just so incredibly informative. Thanks so much for the time and obviously enormous effort you put into it. Damn well done!
Thank you so much for this great tutorial. I have had my Hero 8 Black for about 4 months and I really learned a lot from watching your video. Thanks for taking the time to put this out there, I really appreciate it.
Thank you, this is very helpful. I just purchased the Go Pro Hero and am ready to unbox after watching this.
Christmas gift here too. Perfect video! Already had battery backwards and I wondered why no light came on 😅
This is the tutorial video that should have shipped with the GoPro HERO 8 Black. Well done. 👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I'm really happy you enjoyed it!
Excellent video! Walked me through all the important points as a new user. This was exactly what I needed to get started! Thank you!
Jordan - rarely do I see such clear and unbiased tech reviews. I've watched at least 7 whilst deciding on 7 or 8 - and your video is by far the most useful. Cheers
Thanks for the positive comment Paul! I REALLY appreciate it!
Very informative thank you!
SO INFORMATIVE that i learned all the basic shit he mentioned in the first half hr of opening my 1st ever GoPro... i bought an 8 black recently BEFORE WATCHING this and i came expecting to ACTUALLY LEARN SOMETHING... smh
@@josemarrero7982 bro chill dont be such a karen
Thank you very much for all this useful information and you were extremely thorough. 💕
Great video. I bought the black Friday bundle and got my camera last night. Really excited to get started filming.
Unbelievable video Brilliant review definitely helpful!! The best review out hands down!
Thanks so much!!!! I really appreciate your positive comment!
Thx for such a informative video. Truly helps out a ton.
Hi Charles! You are very welcome!!!
Thank you so much for this step-by-step tutorial. I used your video to set up my Hero 8 and this gave me the confidence to know I was doing it correctly.
Thank you! Came looking for this exact thing. Great presentation. Just got mine yesterday. 2nd battery almost done charging. Looking forward to playing. Thanks again.
Thank you for the tutorial, I’m new to go pro family and have always wanted one even though I’m an old dude! 👍🏻😁
Gopros don't care about your age ^^
Man, I guess I’m old now. 42 and just got my first GoPro. And I found this video to be better than any instruction manual they could of provided. I’m now that guy saying “how do you use this infernal thing!??! “ thanks for the awesome tutorial!
heck, 65 and just bought my first one
Thanks! I got this for my birthday, and it helped a lot!
What a great video! Thank you! I was so overwhelmed with my new camera and all its options. You really zeroed in on the important information to get started. I just got your book, too. I'm sure it will help me get comfortable with it quickly.
Thank-you, Jordan, for creating such a professional, lucid video intro. I just got my new GoPro HERO 8 this afternoon and your video here has served as the perfect introduction to my new camera. What stunning footage you've captured as well! I'm excited for the videos that I'll be able to make now. Thanks again!
You are sooooo welcome!🙏Thank you for the positive comment and have fun with your new camera!!
Awesome video! Exactly what I'm looking for...
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
Best video for this. Thank you so much, will be getting the book.
Jordan, great presentation - your knowledge, kindness, and attention to detail are really encouraging and reflect highly on you. Thank you and I will order the book
Get my GoPro 8 tomorrow. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome! Have fun!
Great presentation, I just got my camera and this is going to help me a lot. Thank you and A Happy New Year.
This is by far the best training video I have found on RUclips for my Hero 8 Thank you
My son bought me a GoPro 8 black for a mother's Day gift. I was so excited to use it for a vacation in the Philippines. Thank you for your video it's a more clear step by step
Most thorough video on RUclips for the Hero 8. Thanks!
When live streaming with Hero 8, does it also save the video on the sd card?
Hi Branden,
You are very welcome! Thanks for the thanks! When setting up your live stream in the GoPro App, select the option to Save a Copy, which will also save a hi-res version to the camera's microSD card.
Thank you that's help me a lot with my new go pro 8:-) first day little bit confused me how to use but I should be able to get a good picture...
@@marekkutarba8241 Hi Marek also new beginner. Does the camera burns your finger when You use it? I tested it today after 30 min recording it was very hot. I recorded inside at home just let on the table after 30 min the battery was to half empty and the cam was very hot that You couldn't hold it in the hand. I just want to know is that normal or if I need to sent it back? Thank You
Fortnite World Cup lol I bought my GoPro 8 last week and I noticed the same thing! But after reading reviews online apparently all GoPros get like that hot when in video mode and they all recommended to buy an extra battery.
@@JJCastro Hello JJ Castro Welcome to GoPro World lol I started to use shocky to hold the camera. Other problem is the battery! To charge 2 batteries takes whole day and storage goes very quick full. Just bought bigger micro SD and am going to buy more batteries with battery charger. my storage on my computer is full now bc of GoPro videos. Bought an external hard drive to move the videos on it, but having the issue that my computer doesn't read the new hard drive. Trying to find if I do format my new external hard drive (A), will my computer storage (C) deleted?
Have fun when You go through that stress lol I don't know about settings on the camera (no user manual). Wished to know how to zoom while recording? And a pause button would be nice, instead of stopping recording and starting new video record.
It looks like that the camera is just created, just came to world.. Nothing is well and complete! It has many lacks and the cost is increasing!
Hopefully it lasts long.
Have fun with all the problems My Go Pro Friend.
I stopped recording, having storage issue and battery charging which holds me back.... we need maybe 10 batteries lol, is the phone not better?
Have strength with all the issues my friend take care!
I just got one as a gift today. Now I officially have my own Go-Pro. I must now familiarize myself with it, and get it all set up. So far, I got the Sim card out of it's SD card, I got the battery in, I learned how to turn it on, and now it's charging. I'm excited to see where this thing takes me!!! To my great friend Aaron!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! I'm so grateful!
Thank you for the helpful tips. I just bought myself a GoPro 8 Hero and it’s up and running. No need to read a single word on the instructions manual 👍🏼
You don’t even need to turn the camera on to connect to the app (after the initial pairing). The Bluetooth stays on for 8 hours and waits for connections.
Also you should have mentioned the voice controls. It’s really useful.
Other than that, great video for beginners!
I strongly recommend Jordan's book, it makes the GoPro usable.
Very clear explanation until the charging!
I'll watch the second part when the red light will be turned off.
I just picked up a hero 8 black and this video was very useful! I have a track day coming up with my car so I’ll now be able to get some awesome footage. Thanks for the straight to the point video explaining!
Thank you so much. There are no instructions when one opened the new box and you have just made it so simple to understand and made it easier to set it up. I look forward to watching some of your other content to help me understand my GoPro. Thank you for this awesome video.
I just bought one & im such a noob 😂. I was expecting to get the 7 but I found a good deal on the 8.
Nice! Glad you ended up with the 8!
Me too. Lol .
But we can keep researching abt this 8 version :))).
Its obvious better than the previous haha
I am planning on getting one do you recommend it ? From your experience
_tom.Vancouver very true but the 7 is still great
Bad LoRd yes get it! I do recommend it.
You know it’s a great video when they explain how to get the damn thing out of the confusing box! 😝 Good job man....aloha. 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Yes indeed...I needed to look at the video just to learn where the SD,battery, and charger worked...I thought I'd at least figure somethings on my own..Not at all I needed to look at the whole video..lol...
It took me about 20 minutes to get it out of the box!! lol
Right because I’m impatient I go straight to busting things out of boxes
You really made me install this GoPro so easy! Saved me life! Thank you😊
Thank you for making this video! I just got this camera tonight and it has helped me a lot!
Just got for christmas helped me a tonne👍👍
same
Same bro
Same! Merry Christmas! 💪🏽💙
@@VlogGrrr you too!
Me too lmao
I just got mine for Christmas your video really helped me. Going to download the book.
One question I set my GOPRO date for 25.12.19 but my app shows the photos as 26.12.19 I tried to google the reason but can find out why it is doing this
Helen Keenan me too
I got it for Christmas too!
Great presentation! I saw my friend use Gopro during our trip recently, and i'm in love with it.
Next time when i plan to go for a trip, i'll surely try to get this one!
I just got one of these and used it for the first time by winging it.... got some good stuff in Lake Tahoe BUT your video taught me the rest! My first GoPro! Thanks
I just got one for a Christmas gift. I’ve never used one before . I’m clueless on this thing
it's really easy to use. make sure you download the gopro app and link it to your phone
Plot twist: He's recording the Gopro with a Gopro...
inception
He actually most likely was.
Plot twist no one asked
Haha. That’s what I was thinking.
Chase Bradley Plot Twist: No one asked YOU to write this comment.
Very educational! I got one for Christmas and this helped a lot!
Thank u bro for this video.... i purchased the hero 8 just a few seconds back and this video was really helpful for me being a beginner✌️
I have the Hero 8. Question. In Video mode of "Standard 1080 I 60 I W... Im only getting 10 to 11 minutes of filming. Then it stops.... What mode for video do you like me to use that has great quality and runs till I hit the button to stop?
The camera should record until you press the button to stop recording no matter what. It does split the files after a certain amount of time, depending on the settings. Is that what you mean?
I'm up grading from my go pro hero 3 to an 8 so i am keen to see the difference it is
Hey Glen,
It will be a huge difference in quality! In addition to the new modes, the stabilization makes everything so much easier to watch!
The difference will be huge
i’m going from a 1 lol
Jordan, I thank you so much for the time and energy you put towards creating this guide. You've saved me lots of time and headache. Thank you too for sharing links to sd cards, the much I can do is to support your channel with a purchase through your links. I'll also buy your book. Thank you so much and may the universe reward you immensely.
Thank You for the tutorial!! Very much appreciated!!
christmas gang
Merry Christmas!!!!! ☃️
Here I got it for Christmas
Merry Christmas! 🎅🏼🎄🎁 I just got the GoPro Hero 8 Black for Christmas and this video was very helpful! THANKS! 💪🏽💙
Hullo!
Reporting in
Add an Amazon Affiliate link for the SanDisk memory card, I want to buy one and I want to make sure you get commission for it! Great video thanks!
Thanks Beau! I added a link in the description. I appreciate the support!
Thank you! This was thoughtfully presented and very informative.
Jordan,
Thank you for making this video. Watching it is enough for me to want to buy your book. 👍
I only regret not watching it as soon as I got my GoPro. 😲
if only gopro would have used that big relistate on the back to make a nice large display screen and made the lens cover replaceable.
Sean Ozz your the guy on johnathan buckhouse’s videos right?
They did after this comment
I just got one and have been charging for several hours. The charging light still has not gone off. 🤔
the led light stays red even though the batt is already fully charge. sucked but that what has not improve for gopros. but ur batteries should be charged in 2 hrs. or get yourself a gopro dual charger or 3rd party chargers. that way u can use ur gopro while charging other batteries. cheers!
Joe Goldberg thank you. I actually returned it for a replacement. It also overheated and wouldn’t connect to my phone. I’d rather not have more than one issue would soon after purchase. 😋
Same thing!
Thank you for helping me get started. Much appreciated!
Run Guru Run zxxxx-
Thank you. Not as complicated as I thought with your help.
Are u using a GoPro to film a gopro
I'm charging my GoPro so i gotta return at 6:03
thank you so much for your great information! I just got a gopro 8 and you really shared great basic content on how to use the features.
just ordered my first gopro! Thanks for the video, I'll know what to do when it arrives in a couple of days
How to get started:
Rule one: Have money to pay for it.
😭🤣
Yes, that is the first step 💵
Rule one: Get a job so you have money.... Oh, actually, Rule one: Be capable of getting a job... Oh actually, Rule one: be born!.... It gets messy going back further than that. I think the assumption is that you have one in the first place. But alas, respect.... I don't have the money for one unfortunately. But more unfortunately my girlfriend has a problem with her car which no mechanic can find the cause of, so she insisted I buy a camera for her to record her driving and capture the problem in real time.... So for me, Rule one,,, have an angry frustrated girlfriend who "immediately" needs to start recording something and only the latest gopro hero 8 will do.... Now i'll go hang my head in shame that this explanation is true enough for me to write here and not be lying... :(
Just bought your book for my new hero 8. Thanks for the videos!
This was really helpful for me when I get my gopro hero 8
Hi just bought GoPro 8 few days ago! Been searched so many videos on youtube but You the one so clearly explained,Thanks so much 👍👍
