Thanks for suggesting the external battery pack, I've been running an extension cord from the house to the camera in the back yard to a 2.5 amp powerstrip and then the usb cable to the camera. It's worked so far, but I want to be more mobile and I think this power pack is gonna do it. Thanks!

Thank you! More hints and tips for my journey into nightlapse. Really appreciate it

[RRRRefuelRideRace]

Thank you for this video. I am planning a vacation to Vegas at the very end of August and driving up to Tonopah to film the night sky and the following day off to Reno. I can't tell you how much I appreciate how very informative this video is for someone who has never attempted this before. Now I know what camera, how to use it effectively once I purchase it and of course accessories. I have some shopping to do!

[WolfPacOutdoors]

Learned something I've always wanted to know!! Thank You!

Nice. Will give that a crack next time I am out. Thanks for posting that up... Using the Hero13 so here's hoping it'll work ok!

Were you ever able to get rid of posterization on the sky, or does that require something more serious tech, not simple action cam?

At 2 min intervals, to get 30 second clips, how long are you running the camera in night lapse for? Is that a sunset to sunrise shot?

This is a great tutorial, I plan to use this setting and your tips while camping next weekend.

Awesome video. I'm planning on doing a time lapse of the solar eclipse next week with GoPro Hero 11 Black. The duration of Eclipse is 2 hours and 37 minutes and totality is 4 minutes 15 seconds. Might shave duration down to 1 hour as capturing totality is the main focus. Would you recommend shooting this in night lapse or standard time lapse mode? What interval would you set it at? Any recommendations on settings to best capture this event would be greatly appreciated.

When I set the shutterspeed to Auto, the footage is completely dark.

Hello, is it normal that my night laps videos are only 1sec long? I would like them to last longer, it's much too condensed...

Thanks !

Nice. Thank you. One day i will try this one.

I just got my first Gopro 12. I got it for motorcycle endurance racing (dirt/mud). These races take about 2 hours. Many of the racers have had problems with their cameras overheating in the Florida heat. The fix is to get an open battery door and use an external battery. This has me concerned about mud and rain entering the battery compartment. It seems as though the media mod might be the answer. Can you use the media mod to remove the on-board battery in favor of external battery? Does the Media Mod have any adverse effect on camera overheating?

[mriamtheboss]

I'm planning to do a Timelapse of me sleeping. will this work for that?

[mandradass]

Which one is better hero 10 or hero 12??

[patrik]

Great video!
I'm also getting a hero 9 and i am thinking about buying the max lens mod, do i need a different settings for nightlapses?

Why dont you use the max lens mod?

[JohnnyRingoTrapper]

Never tried night lapse before. Adjusted my settings to what you suggested in this video. Should be epic with the northern lights tonight here in Montana.

[baldiebroedc]

I've just tried this and distortion is pretty bad...

[BudExplorer]

Okay. I learned absolutely...nothing. Just how is it that self-proclaimed "Pros, " are using a GoPro, to get these magnificent views of the solar system? When I try this, all I get is a bunch of fuzzy blueish dots. Seems not to be the camera, but the fancy(expensive) photo-editing software, that makes most of these GoPro timelapse videos.
