Omg! thank you so much. I going to travel soon and this video helps me with mi new gopro. I had a 15 pro max but i love the comfort of filming with the Hero 12 (i'm shy)

Thank you for the tutorial. I was wondering if you have a tutorial on taking pictures of the night sky and northern lights, what should the Hero 12 settings be. Everyone has such different opinions and I would like your thoughts. thanks

Just snagged the 12 upgrade from Hero 9 Blk. Excited to get out there and get some footage. I always confuse my FPS so 30FPS and 60 for active and anything above 60FPS is for slower motion but 24 is for Cinematic?? So confusing .

a very detailed and simple setup guide, thanks for the video!!😎

Wow, I have not seen any more detailed and excellently explained video before. Wonderful!!

I ususally skip two or three iterations of the devices that come out yearly. I was hoping for a bigger sensor, but when I compare the results of the Action 4 for low light video, and consider my usage of the action camera at night, the Hero 12 makes more sense, at least to me. But I also like to wait; in a few months, we should see the first holiday incentive discount. I currently have the Hero 9, having no issues with it at all. Thanks, Media, for this video.

This is absolutely what I needed. I was becoming a bit overwhelmed with the many options with no clear understanding of which to use and why. Thank you very much!

Thank you for the detailed video. I just got my first gopro. And want to capture the adventures that I am going on after getting out of the military.. 20 years later I am ready to record it.

[GopinathChhanda]

Very nice & useful video. Simple and clear. Love from India ❤️

Just bought a Hero 12 - happy to donate as very clear and helpful. Thank you!

I’ve been photographing since the mid 1970s and videographing since mid 1980s so I’m clear on usage and terminology, but GoPro is quite different so it’s great to get, not only instruction but, also, suggestions!

My use will mostly be non-action as such, but on boat, in water, vacation, etc., so I want to know your thoughts on Linear v/s Linear+? Are there many situations where auto horizon level is not preferred? Does it use a lot more space and battery?

Also, as my TV is 4K, what benefits are there for me to shoot 5.3K?

Cheers 👍👍👍

I use my Hero 12 exclusively for kayak fishing and is mounted out of arms reach. I have unlimited external power and use The Remote to control and activate record on my Gopro.When using HINDSIGHT in say 30 sec intervals will it keep looping every 30 seconds or do you have to start recording within the first and only 30 seconds? Do you have to manually restart Hindsight everytime you want to utilize it? If it would be continuous all do would make for the best setting for my use case. Thanks in advance and thank you for your very informative videos !!!

I'm so excited to get out on the slopes this year. These setting suggestions will help take the guesswork out and save me a lot of time and aggravation. Much appreciated.
