GOT IT!! Sometimes we all hate reading through endless pages of an owner’s manual. Your video is like a quick start guide. I can enjoy my camera without having to study tons of material on it. This camera will be with me everywhere I go. My bundle pack came with two batteries, a memory card and a selfie tripod stick. Gonna have so much fun video taping my travels.. 🌎🌏🌍

I just got one as a gift today. Now I officially have my own Go-Pro. I must now familiarize myself with it, and get it all set up. So far, I got the Sim card out of it's SD card, I got the battery in, I learned how to turn it on, and now it's charging. I'm excited to see where this thing takes me!!! To my great friend Aaron!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! I'm so grateful!

Christmas gift here too. Perfect video! Already had battery backwards and I wondered why no light came on 😅

My son bought me a GoPro 8 black for a mother's Day gift. I was so excited to use it for a vacation in the Philippines. Thank you for your video it's a more clear step by step

Jordan - rarely do I see such clear and unbiased tech reviews. I've watched at least 7 whilst deciding on 7 or 8 - and your video is by far the most useful. Cheers

I just received a hero 8 Black from my wife for Christmas, it is a bit different than my Hero 5 and I am glad i found this video.

[charlottewalsh]

Thank you so much! I just got this for Christmas but my parents had no idea how to set it up so I watched your video and it's set up perfectly now!!

[joegardner]

ive had my hero for over a year, never used it, lost the book, etc etc, found the camera had no idea what was going on.. thanks very informative and very well done

Man, I guess I’m old now. 42 and just got my first GoPro. And I found this video to be better than any instruction manual they could of provided. I’m now that guy saying “how do you use this infernal thing!??! “ thanks for the awesome tutorial!

[wakuzitahiru]

Thank you for passing by. I need this to help a good friend of mine.

[jaddenmp]

I just bought one & im such a noob 😂. I was expecting to get the 7 but I found a good deal on the 8.

[soonerkickboxing]

I just got today my first GoPro... a Hero 8 ....and I followed your indications...we got some new staff ....but not to complicated....thank you very much Mister Jordan.

You don’t even need to turn the camera on to connect to the app (after the initial pairing). The Bluetooth stays on for 8 hours and waits for connections.
Also you should have mentioned the voice controls. It’s really useful.
Other than that, great video for beginners!

Thanks for posting. I bought this gopro new and was so frustrated trying to use it, after 5 minutes I put it away and never used it again. I will break it out now and start over. Thanks for showing how easy it can be.

[joycady]

Thank you, this is very helpful. I just purchased the Go Pro Hero and am ready to unbox after watching this.

[stutristanx]

I would urge anyone watching Jordan's video to get the book you will not be disappointed with the settings he recommends

[nathantrussell]

Thank you so much for this great tutorial. I have had my Hero 8 Black for about 4 months and I really learned a lot from watching your video. Thanks for taking the time to put this out there, I really appreciate it.
