GoPro Hero 5 / Hero 6 Black: How to Charge / Connect to Power

Here's a brief instructional video on how to charge your GoPro Hero5 Black. Step by step on how to access the ports and connect to power. Also, a tip on how to save considerable money by using the Apple iPhone usb wall charger you already have for charging your Hero5 camera.

When is charging complete? Once the front LED light turns off, the battery is fully charged. This can take up to 4 hours if the computer is used and up to 2 hours if a USB wall charger is used

Thank you! I have not used my GoPro in years and I had forgotten how to charge it! It was nice to be able to just play your video and now I am ready to roll! I appreciate your time doing this!

Sometimes I wonder how these videos have 300k+ views, then I realise I'm here and found it very useful. Thank you !

Thank you! I am surprised the go pro set up instructions don't tell you where the charging door/port is, or that it doesn't come with a charging base. So I very much appreciate this video!

Very useful. I found another video that showed how to get started with the Hero 5 Black. It showed how to open the box, remove the camera from the display and the casing, etc. etc. But it skipped over how to open the battery charging compartment and plug in the cord. So this video supplied the missing link.

I struggled getting the USB door open...because N O N E of the other YTube videos showed any info on opening that tricky door. Not wanting to damage a borowed Hero5, I was reluctant to force anything.

Your video was so helpful unlike the others.

Many thanks.

THANKS A BUNCH. With all the accessories you need to get for go pro, this video/tip is really very helpful.You saved me some money.

[madisonlamacchia]

ahh thank you so much! helped a lot! didn't have to sit through a 15 minute video just to figure out how to open the charge spot!

I was waiting for to find out if we could charge it with our regular phone charger, and yes we can. Thanks for the video. You saved me $60 buddy. :D

i forgot i had a gopro hero 5 and unfortunately also forgot how to charge it. thanks for the video!

Hey hey thank you very much for those tips! I have an older go pro that I love, and now that I have an iPhone charger, thanks to your tip, I can now just simply plug the USB cable into my iPhone charger. Ha ha I guess that's just one more of the benefits switching to an iPhone and a MacBook Pro after being a dedicated android phone and PC user for 25 years....thanks again! 👍

Thank you very much for letting us know that we can use any charger plus telling us the specific volts and amp. This is really helpful because I don't have a GoPro charger. Thanks dude.
