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!
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👍
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!!! 😀🙏
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!
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!
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!
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...
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.
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!
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 😊
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 👍
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 ??
I’m a long time Sony Handycam user who would like to convert to the action camera world due to its sophistication and compactness. Should I consider the GoPro Hero 13 or the DJI Osmo Action 5? Your professional recommendations are highly appreciated. TIA
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 :)
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?????
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
Never had an action camera before, just bought the gopro 13. This was very helpful thank you. Is there a way to shut off the beep.beep, beep, when you turn it on. I want to video animals. But don't want to scare them off when I turn it on.
Sir as I understand the creative mind of most people, we should keep in mind that *Filming in this case is a misapplication of the wrod. We *Record on our cameras and phones.
It really depends on which setting you choose and how much idle time you have in between recording. If you record continuously at 4k-60, you can expect to get about 90 minutes of recording time. 👍👍
Yes, you can. But since that lens was created before the Hero 13, you just need to tap the lens icon and tell the camera it's on there, just like you had to do with the 12. Besides that, it's basically the same lens.
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!
My issue with the gopro is I can be recording and it just gets a mind of its own and it decides when to stop recording. It doesn't overheat or battery does not die. I like gopro but don't get it. I have a hero 8 black that now turns on and instantly shuts off. Can't get it to do anything. I have just recently upgraded from the 8 to the 13. Big increase. But camera still shuts off when it feels like sometimes
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.
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.
Yo dude. Just one more thing I wanna say. Great video again, however as a novice, my first gopro your instructions seem to apply to the NTSC format. GoPro is a worldwide product. I live in the UK so the gopro needed to be set to PAL (for obvious reasons). With that in mind the values on the video menu differ to your video. Kinda made me go learn. Maybe defeats the onject of your beginners guide? 15:56 Best Hero 13 Starter Video Setting. Best wishes ;-)
I won a Hero 13 Black for free but it requires the stupid app to use. The app requires iOS 17 but my iPhone X can’t download iOS 17. I ended up shooting it with a .308 rifle. I give it 3.5 stars as a range target.
Okay, but you don't have to use the App with the Hero 13. You can update the firmware manually through the website. Probably a little hard to do know though since it has a bullet through it.
Don't worry- the Hero 13 is very similar to the 12. I just posted a comparison if you want to check it out, but you are good to go with the 12! It's an awesome camera.
@@JordanHetrick i will have to end up keeping it anyways since i wouldn’t be able to return the 12, though thanks a lot for the reply i will make sure to check it out

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!
Just ordered the HERO 13. thank you for taking the time to explain the basics. Very thorough video. 👍👍🤙
I mean you cant get any better than this.. Awesome video man, thanks for the time you put into it.
Thank you so much! It's really nice to hear feedback like yours after putting so much time and energy into this video! Enjoy your new camera!
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.
Wow Jordan, you covered everything!! I got my GoPro for Christmas and found the Perfect source for Help! Thank you and God Bless you!

Very Useful, Thanks !
Awesome, well detailed, and much needed. thank you so much
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.
Wow that was one heck of a walk through!
I learned a lot.
Thank you! I'm glad I was able to help you out! Have fun with your new camera👍
thank you for this detailed tutorial!
Thanks for the time that you put into this video. It’s what every beginner needs! I also used your affiliate links as well. 😊
Wow nice gopro🙏🙏
I’m a beginner and this was super helpful. Thank you!
Great Tutorial. Thank you so much.
Thanks bro !
I got the EXACT one on Christmas
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
Jordan, I am back with a question for you. Do I have to have the app on the phone
First GoPro brought today and it’s the 13.
Thanks for your very informative beginners guide very helpful.its a definite sub from me.thank you
Amazing to watch your video. Only one thing that it doesn’t make sense is when you put the grip under the surfboard.
I have your book too...between your videos and your book....awesome!!!
THANK YOU!!! So much!
Very good video, you saved me tons of time
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.
Is a case necessary for using it in motocross? Im worried dirt and rocks will destroy mine
What a great in depth video ! Amazing..
Thank you! I really appreciate that! 👍
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!
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?
Thanks bro really really nice video (INDIA)
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 😊

Thank you Gordon! Cheers
very informative Thank you
My pleasure! You're very welcome.
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.
Some interesting information I didn't know.

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.
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 🙂

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
Never had an action camera before, just bought the gopro 13. This was very helpful thank you.
Is there a way to shut off the beep.beep, beep, when you turn it on. I want to video animals. But don't want to scare them off when I turn it on.
Yes swipe down for settings, on screen 2 the musical symbol, tap on it and you have high, medium and low volume plus no volume
Sir as I understand the creative mind of most people, we should keep in mind that *Filming in this case is a misapplication of the wrod. We *Record on our cameras and phones.
I’ve been asking everywhere and no one has given me an answer… does this camper have a quick record feature?
Yes, it has the same Quik Capture feature as the previous models.👍
Thank you
sample gp13 video with gps enable!
It's worth updating from hero 12 black or should i wait hero 14 black?
It really depends on how you will be using it. I made a comparison between the 12 and 13 that will help you decide if it's a good upgrade for you.
How many hours do you shoot on one charge
It really depends on which setting you choose and how much idle time you have in between recording. If you record continuously at 4k-60, you can expect to get about 90 minutes of recording time. 👍👍
CAN I USE MY MAX LENS MOD 2.0 WITH MY GOPRO HERO 13
Yes, you can. But since that lens was created before the Hero 13, you just need to tap the lens icon and tell the camera it's on there, just like you had to do with the 12. Besides that, it's basically the same lens.
@@JordanHetrick THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR CONTENT LOVE THE CHANEL
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!
Great job
Thank you!

Oh bummer. That definitely seems to happen once the iOS won't update anymore.
Hello just got myself a gopro 13 and starting a you tube what else should I do to get started
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!
Do you recommend only shooting in the 8:7 aspect so that you can later on change the digital lenses to whatever view you want? Is that best?
You can do that for the most flexibility, but most often, I prefer to record in 16:9 widescreen to minimize my editing workflow.👍
@JordanHetrick Awesome thanks! Do you have a favorite app for color grading?
Hey man, can gopro 13 loop in 240fps?
To prevent any overheating issues, Looping is only available in 4k @ 30fps or 1080 @ 60 or 120fps. Hope that helps!
My issue with the gopro is I can be recording and it just gets a mind of its own and it decides when to stop recording. It doesn't overheat or battery does not die. I like gopro but don't get it. I have a hero 8 black that now turns on and instantly shuts off. Can't get it to do anything. I have just recently upgraded from the 8 to the 13. Big increase. But camera still shuts off when it feels like sometimes
15:00 he starts talking about schedule captures, you should see if your 8 has that.
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.
