This video should be required v iewing for all GoPro beginners. It does an excellent job of getting you came up and running in no time. In fact, I'd go so far as to say GoPro should include it in the box with the camera! Thanks, Jordan!
I have just bought the Hero 13 as my first action camera. I'm an experienced photographer but a complete novice on GoPro. This was just what I was looking for. Many thanks. I'll be back for more! 👍 (PS. based in the UK.)
oh how I needed this! As another commenter suggested, this video should be included in the box with the camera. Excellent video for this GoPro beginner!
I am a complete novice with ALL types of video cameras. The GoPro Hero 13 Black is my first and I have just downloaded the corresponding kindle book. Whilst I'm only a short way through the book, it has so far really explained everything in a manner in which a clueless 58 year old can absorbe! I now have the recommended video mode presets all sorted and will be progressing through the book. I have a trip on my bike down through Italy starting mid March so I need the learning curve to not stall 😂
Just bought the Hero black 13 and was confused about some use, your video really helped to be more specific about the photo/video I wish to have and the features. THANKS!
Just got my first GoPro and excited to get started. Your video is one I will probably come back to from time to time until I get comfortable with what I am doing
Just bought my GP 13 Black today. Found your RUclips and started learning from your Great Presentation. You are a Great Teacher. I’ll probably watch this over 3 or 4 times to understand then go to your other videos. Thank You.
Purchased my first GoPro and have gone down the rabbit hole on YT. Yours is my favorite. Great introduction and not overwhelming for beginners. Also have pre-ordered your book and look forward to reading it. All my best.
Hi Peter, Thank you so much for your positive feedback and preorder! Congrats on your first GoPro and can't wait to help you learn more! Have a great day👍
Just opened my GoPro 13. My first action camera and loved your tutorial video. It is perfect and extremely helpful. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you! I also just bought your kindle book for the 13.
Seriously.. from the bottom of my heart Mahalo.. I am now going to binge watch everyone of your videos... And I just pre-ordered your new book too... I'm leaving for Nepal in 2 weeks to do some climbing and filming and this will get me started!
Wow, thank you so much. Your video is so helpful. We just bought our GoPro and found your video for the beginners. You're awesome take care and God Bless 😊
Your tutorial is very much easy to follow.Appreciate all the hardwork, Jordan. Also, you deserve more subs!!! Glad found your channel...planning to buy soon!!! 😀🙏
Wow, what a fantastic video 👏🏻👏🏻 I have the 13 hero creator edition arriving tomorrow. So Far, i have grown my channel using just my phone, I really feel like the 13 will take my videos to another level 😁 im slightly nervous excited about getting started with it because I know it's going to take a while to get used to, but this video is absolutely brilliant and I'll be watching this back several times. Thank you so much mate, new sub, and also going to checkout the book 😊 best wishes to you, much love
I want to use my GoPro 13 to record my long-distance runs do you have any tips as to what are the best settings so that my GoPro doesn’t overheat or turn off ?
We just got our GoPro 13 from Santa. Great content. Found you on RUclips. Makes it easy for someone who doesn't like reading instruction manuals! hahahaha!
Great video. I just bought the GoProHero Black 13 bundle with the handler. I used your video to set up the camera. Thanks! One thing though, when I downloaded a video file from the Cloud from Go Pro to my Windows laptop and PC, I needed to buy a CODEC from microsoft store to play the video. WTF?????
That was awesome man I just bought one a week ago. I was definitely surprised what option there are after you move the settings. TY I'm going exploring.
This is an AMAZING video! You don’t know how much I appreciate this! I will be buying your book and I have subscribed to your channel. I feel confident enough now to go out and use my go pro 13 black. 😊
Thank you! I REALLY appreciate your comment! It always feels good to hear such positive feedback after putting so much time and effort into helping you guys. Have a great day!
Amazing video!! I just have one question. In preview mode you said it’s in low resolution. When you download it to your phone does it download in high resolution?
Awesome tutorial! I have an older GoPro, the most painful part was getting the video off the GoPro and trying to stitch the files back together. The standard file naming wasn't even recognized by 3rd party software to be in consecutive order. So frustrating. Did they address this critical part of the overall experience? Maybe do a separate video on this final part of getting the complete video to play off the GoPro. Much appreciated!
Hello so how can i start recording and then pause it and not instantly saving the video and then when i click again to start the video again. Or i cant do this it will aways save the video and then i have to put them together.
Can you make a video how to use gopro quik app on a simple way to edit and download to a youtube channel without all the other settings alot of people dont use ??
Some interesting information I didn't know. I do a lot of video from a handcycle for some cool prospectives. Makes for good 1st person views of marathons etc.
I just ordered a Hero 13 Black. It is supposed to arrive in 2 days. We shall see. This is the best of the v13 videos I found. Thanks! Bookmarked. The "book" is Kindle only. Here in France, the listing just says "not available for purchase" (in French, of course). On the U.S. website, it shows a price of $8.95 with a release date of 24 October 2024, with a pre-purchase option.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 That so strange that it's not available for preorder in France. Hopefully, when it goes live, the book will become available for you, as will the paperback edition. Enjoy your new camera- I'm sure you will like it 👍
Great video, im just curious... can you mute the beeping sound that plays when you start recording etc?? I want to use the camera to catch moments from me deer hunting, but if the sound goes off it would be a big problem... thx :)
Question: Do you have any videos that speak to memory cards? How many do I need? Do I need any extras if my videos record to the cloud? Which ones are the best? etc...
I tryed to open that microphone door before seeing this video but I guess one side of it broke, buts still in place. Is there anything I can do? Can I go underwater with it?
Great Vid Jordan! You explain everything so clearly. I would love a vid on nd filters, I sort of get it but not quite there if you see what I mean? Thanks again for your efforts 🙂
You are very welcome! Thank you! Yes, ND Filters are a bit confusing for most people. I have a few videos lined up, but I'll try to make a video for you soon.
Would love your help with underwater video and photography settings but your book doesn’t come out til after my trip is over. Could you kindly share? Thank You 😊
Hi, I really wish my book was ready in time for your trip. So sorry. In the meantime, check out my underwater tips video. It's for the Hero 10, but a lot of it will still be relevant and should help improve your underwater videos. Have a great trip!
I'm looking to buy the Hero 13 Black to start a RUclips while in a Semi. I'll be mainly having camera pointed to me while talking (Audio quality need to be good in a semi) but starting with some scenery, maybe pulling into a rest area and resetting on a park bench. At other times I may not be pulling off and just record in the truck the whole time. I'd like to support you here and am anxious to buy your book. But, either with or without, I was hoping you might share some quick setups for that use of the camera.
Hello Jordan, at 14:00 I can see the fps settings. Is 25fps at 16:9 4K 10bit available? I shoot with a sony FX3 at these settings but would like an action camera that can match the settings for ease in post. Wonderful tutorial Sir.
jst got the gopro 13, when i playback my videos on PC they are stuttering and dont look the best, is it due to my pc specs? kind of worrying but also my pc isnt CRAZY old, 2060 with i7 8700, keen to hear any info, ty.
I was thinking to purchase your book, but the main concern is that does it have chapters about how to shoot for Social Media ?? Like Instagram reels? I want shoot all my videos on 9:16 ratio. So does it have content related to that ?
Hi, the book teaches you how to shoot creative videos with the best settings, whether you are shooting vertically or horizontal-framed videos. Great video content can really be shared on any social media, so you can definitely use the knowledge in the book to step up your game and post these videos to Reels. But I don't have much info in the book specifically about Reels. Hope that helps you decide!
Congrats! Be persistent and produce high quality videos. It can be discouraging at first if your videos don't get a lot of views, but as long as you love doing it, just keep going. Of course, get my book when it comes out because all of the knowledge in there will improve your videos greatly. Im not just trying to sell a copy of the book- I just have received lots of positive feedback about how much it helps. Best of luck to you in your journey 👍 You can do it!
You are doing such great job with these videos .I'm beginner use the go pro 12 which computer is best to buy for edit my videos for RUclips. When i upload my videos they are bury.
Doesn’t it have to do something with the hz ? Like it should be on 60 in the states or North America.. 60hertz. That’s As far as I know. just find out what hertz are in ur area and set it to that but idk if u can do that with a GoPro camera. I haven’t even turned mine on yet..
If you were happy with the Hero 6, I would go with the Hero 13. I posted a comparison between the two on my channel if you want to see more though. Have fun adventuring!
@@JordanHetrick thanks for the reply, i have seen your comparison video between 2 of them, but I am confuse between the video quality. Please suggest which one provide more crisp and gr8 videos.

Awesome to hear! I'm happy I was able to help you dive into another line of cameras!
I still wish someone would make some kind of a telephoto lens for GoPro.
I'm glad I found your channel. I just got a HERO 13. It's my first action camera. I already feel better about learning how to use it.
Hey Jordan, glad I found you here... I just bought go pro 13 today... Thanks for the incredible tips... 😊
Such an organized, thorough, perfectly paced video. Great job. Great effort. You're a pro, obviously, and I'm more than happy to subscribe.

Had a Hero 5, upgraded to the 13 and watched your video. The setup between the two cameras is vastly different. So glad I found your video!
I was watching this on safari and had to go watch it in the RUclips app to give this video a like, Love the effort and information
I mean you cant get any better than this.. Awesome video man, thanks for the time you put into it.

Thanks for the video, sir. Finally I can view it from my mobile phone while video on Bluetooth mode.
Goprohero 10 doesn't have that.
Your tutorial is tight! Thank you! As a diver, I like to have my camera on my wrist. Is there any way to use the camera without a stick?
Thank you. This is my first gopro

Okay, I’m unboxing mine right now and the batteries have little black plastic tabs in them. Should I pull them out?
I don’t think so for my GoPro it’s to pull the battery out of the camera
@ yeah I figured it out. Thanks :)
Is a case necessary for using it in motocross? Im worried dirt and rocks will destroy mine
Great video, im just curious... can you mute the beeping sound that plays when you start recording etc??
I want to use the camera to catch moments from me deer hunting, but if the sound goes off it would be a big problem...

Is there anything I can do? Can I go underwater with it?
Ty for your information..
How can we see on the video some information, speed, route, time, g-force ect..?
Great Vid Jordan! You explain everything so clearly. I would love a vid on nd filters, I sort of get it but not quite there if you see what I mean? Thanks again for your efforts 🙂
You are very welcome! Thank you! Yes, ND Filters are a bit confusing for most people. I have a few videos lined up, but I'll try to make a video for you soon.
Thank you! Just what I need since I bought my first GoPro.
Yay! I'm so happy I was able to help 👍 it's my pleasure. You are welcome.
Me to! But only problem i had was cable that came with it i could not connect it anywhere so i had to buy other kind of cable to charge the battery.
Got mine today the resolution is bad is it because I had my lights off or what
I just brought mine yesterday
very informative Thank you
My pleasure! You're very welcome.
Thank you sir for much info. Got the hero 5 blk. What you recommend hero 13 blk or action 5pro ?
Well, the Action 5 Pro isn't released yet, but I'll be sure to post a comparison as soon as it is!

Amazing to watch your video. Only one thing that it doesn’t make sense is when you put the grip under the surfboard.
Do these setting guidelines apply to the GoPro 13 black creator edition ?
Yes, it's the same camera so you can use the same settings I provided. The Creator Edition just comes with extra accessories.
Hello Jordan, at 14:00 I can see the fps settings. Is 25fps at 16:9 4K 10bit available? I shoot with a sony FX3 at these settings but would like an action camera that can match the settings for ease in post.
Wonderful tutorial Sir.
Hi, Yes, this setting is available to match your FX3.👍
Great video as always but I’ve been looking for one about the hero 11 mini maybe could you do one?
Thank you. I wish I had one for the 11 mini for you. So sorry because it is kind of a confusing little camera.
thank you for sharing this video.. new friend here. 🎉
You're welcome and thank you!

What would you do as a parent who wants to film your son's soccer matches is the GoPro good option?
Phone would work better, unless you want your son to wear the camera
Hello just got myself a gopro 13 and starting a you tube what else should I do to get started

You are doing such great job with these videos .I'm beginner use the go pro 12 which computer is best to buy for edit my videos for RUclips. When i upload my videos they are bury.
Thank you! You will need a computer that can handle editing 4k, so a good graphics card and lots of RAM. I use a new model MacBook Pro and a 27" iMac.
Filming in shop under Led lights that are not flickering to the naked eye. Go pro 13 picks it up with these settings. Anyway to fix?
Doesn’t it have to do something with the hz ? Like it should be on 60 in the states or North America.. 60hertz. That’s As far as I know. just find out what hertz are in ur area and set it to that but idk if u can do that with a GoPro camera. I haven’t even turned mine on yet..
I have gopro 6 black, I used to shoot nature and road trips video more what would you recommend gopro 13 or dji action 5 pro?
If you were happy with the Hero 6, I would go with the Hero 13. I posted a comparison between the two on my channel if you want to see more though. Have fun adventuring!
@@JordanHetrick thanks for the reply, i have seen your comparison video between 2 of them, but I am confuse between the video quality. Please suggest which one provide more crisp and gr8 videos.
