Watching in 2022!!! Thank you for an awesome tutorial! Clear and easy to understand. I have a go Pro Hero but got burried in my drawer for years and I found it so I wanted to learn more about it and this video didn't fail me!

This was Extremely helpful my grandfather just got a GoPro for Christmas and had no idea how to use it he kept coming to me for help but I have never used a GoPro a day in my life. We came across this video and after watching it I feel like we both have a very good understanding of how it works. long story short this is the holy grail of GoPro videos, easy to understand by all ages.

I said to the guy in the shop, if this is complicated I'm bringing it straight back. He told me to check out your channel. 'Will it tell me how to switch the damned thing on?' Yes. First time I've understood a camera since the old kodak days. Thank you from the world's greatest technophobe.

FYI. The protective case shown at the end of the video is made by InCase. I got it at Best Buy for around $30US.

I was so happy to come across this video. I pulled out my Hero today that I received for Christmas many years ago and never used it. While searching for a video compatible with my model I finally found a video that applies - yours! With so many models I didn't what mine was - all I knew that it was sitting around for years. Thank you!

Omg I’ve been looking for this GoPro for ages and every time I look up GoPro hero it comes up with the original one!

Its Feb. 2024. Found my 2017 GoPro Hero. I read the instructions and just like in 2017 had no idea what to do. I'm a YouTube fan so I looked and found your video. It shows me every thing I need to know. Thanks.

This was very helpful, thank you...I've had my gopro hero since 2015 and just learned how to set up the date & time...LoL I've only made like 3 videos and maybe 10 pictures so I'm going to learn how to do this

Watching in 2023. Thanks for taking the time to produce this documentary. Well done.

[losteroni]

I'm sure glad you included the part about taking it out of the box !

[fffffffff]

Not only is this tutorial great, you even went back in and put chapters for easy accessiblity. Thank you.

Best GoPro Hero tutorial on Youtube!
Thanks!

[truthiseverything]

I don't understand why you don't come up first on search. There are two other videos that come up first and they're both insufferable. Your instruction is exactly what was required, it's thorough complete and concise - no fluff. Thank you.

Best tutorial I have ever watched. Very helpful. Thanks.

[holdenjones]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I just got a GoPro Hero today for christmas, and I was a little confused. I wanted to use my GoPro on a trip over New Years to Las Vegas, and now I know how to control it. The only thing I am a little confused about is the white flexible piece with a circle that secures the camera. Thank you, Holden Jones.

where is the microphone on the camera?

[wisdomsowl]

I was having so much difficulty with my GoPro, then I watched this video, it helped me SO much. Thanks!
