2023 and I'm still using this gopro, still good after 6 years

[thesmokingrooster]

This video is very much still relevant, I got mine in 2016 used it for about 6 months and then stopped doing YouTube videos due in part to an accident, now here in 2021 I found it in a drawer and decided I wanted to do more videos with it, problem was I forgot how to use it!! So I downloaded a manual but damn it's much better having someone like you explain it and saved me a ton of time going through the manual. Thanks bruh.

this is one of the best video tutorials. I couldn't even get the GoPro out of the box until I watched this video. I watchd 3 videos before this one and they didn't teach me anything. You are the best. this video should be included instead of GoPro crappy brochure. thanks my friend

[alissamontez]

wow you saved my life. I couldn't even figure out how to get the thing out of the box. Thanks so much

Just bought a GoPro hero 5 to get started seeing if I enjoy making videos. Watched this tutorial, immediately bought your book.

[dorisesweetnam]

This is MOST HELPFUL VIDEO beca there are few helpful instructions in the box with purchase. Well done! Thank you

[lilouwoimant-vanderbiste]

Your video is very cool, I will buy Gopro hero 5 and I wanted to see all the setting before, and your video showed me all I wanted to see. Thanks !

[jennifergreen]

Hi thank you for your video. what do you do if your camera reads no sim card when it is in place. Also my menu isn't coming up. Any help will be appreciated thank you

[ericwalters]

Great video for a starter like me, explains the most important topics in a clear, simple way - thank you!

[ComputerTrainer]

I bought my first gopro and I was looking at a rubix cube until I saw your video. Would have never figured out how to set it up without your video. Thanks!

[TonyLovell]

Thanks. I was unable to open the box, but this got me going!

[aviman]

I have your video on pause at the moment as I'm waiting for the battery to charge so I thought I would drop in a quick comment while I'm waiting. I haven't even opened the handbook/user guide. Why would I when I can watch your excellent video. So informative. Many thanks for taking the time out to record it.

Got my Gopro 5black last night! First gopro. Thank you for this video, very informative.

[skorpo]

That kind you, saved me a lot of fiddling around trying to figure out the basics as I just got this as my first ever GoPro.

[HereBeBarr]

My camera is currently charging, but a great guide. You gained a sub :)

[divebarcasanova]

Really appreciate this video.
Battery was completely dead when we opened ours.
Instructions only in French and German.
This has been a great help.
