Lost my 8 mountain biking last night and kind used a combo of these methods. Was finally able to get close enough I got it connected to my phone. I could see what the camera was seeing via the preview feature, but ended up using the take photo to let the beeps help me pinpoint it. I chuckled when looking at the footage of it falling off and the about 10 pics of foliage beside the trail. This gave me some more details for next time, thanks.
Put my brand new gopro 9 on a dog harness and took off hiking on my farm. Dog went exploring, then returned WITHOUT harness. Watched your video, in the middle of the field. But could get a signal so I downloaded light blue after an hour found the go pro. YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER. thanks! For the future I am getting a Tile for both the harness and gopro.
Um yeah like it makes me kinda mad at GoPro. I spend all the money.. yes I was irresponsible.. but I switched cameras and didn’t need my GoPro. So I moved houses... and I really need my GoPro now but I can’t find it 😭😭😭. Like wouldn’t you think GoPro would have some kind of tracker??? It’s really insane they don’t.
The problem is how to transmit your GPS location. The camera would need it's own cellular connection if it's out of range of your phone. I'm definitely agree they should, but that's a hard thing to integrate when trying to save power consumption and make the unit as small as possible.
Cool set of tools i did not realise existed. I lost my GoPro in the snow after hiking out of a creek, I only realised this when I got back to the piste, luckily there was only my stupid track coming out of there so I backtracked my exit path and found my GoPro!
wholly crap I lost mine in our 21 acre bush, the case was tied to my house hounds harness, She came back with an empty case. we walked for 2 hours, came back watched this video! added the lightblue app and 10 MINUTES, YES 10 MINUTES I found it! Thank you Thank you Thank you oh ya thankyou Jesus 😳
I lost my gopro hero 5, don't know some where, but I remember last time I used go pro for vloging my activity in car, now I'm still looking for that gopro
haha.. ending is priceless!!! Homer Simpson moment.. D'Oh!.. but great tips!.. the only thing for me is that i turn off connection to save battery life.. looks like i need to keep it on now as a safety feature
I lost my gopro 5 hero black smowboarding in Switzerland. Somebody found it and took it for sure. I did the same slope after I realised I lost it, but it was gone.
I also lost my hero 9 :/ a few days ago while skiing, i tried to get a replacement bc like the whole helmet mount ripped off (probably bc it was like -18c ) and i didnt get a replacement but a 25% discount.
I was recommended here by UA-cam, and all of my GoPros are safe and sound. But if you’re reading this and you’ve lost your gopro, i wish you good luck :D
Yeah, it's these sorts of small features that make the GoPro so good at what it does. Lots of cameras can shoot 1080p120 or 4K/30 (even 4K-60), but I think it's the general software side of things that helps gel it all together. Not saying GoPro is awesome there at everything (god not), but, for some things they are.
I Lost my gopro 7 on the Sea 3 days ago making waterstart kiting ! And the best of it was i Shut down the wifi and Bluetooth off, to give me more Batterie !! Dahm
i lost in the beach in water. how you finde it with that 3 ways? if you are not 10m close no one of this ways work. Just add finde my gopro with the gps
Genius ideas. Thank me later. First two thought of by me, third one from Reddit. This is what I will be trying. 1. Use another GoPro, borrow it from a friend, fish around with it tied to a stick. Connect it to the app to see. 2. Use a phone in a waterproof pouch, attached to a pole. Record video on the phone and look at it to try to locate GoPro. Or video call another phone with that phone. 3. Use a waterproof metal detector to pinpoint spot
I lost my GoPro off the end of the dock at the lake today. it’s literally in like 3 feet of water but gumbo at the bottom. Think I could find it with these tips and tricks? Nope. Really pathetic, the thing wouldn’t even connect to my phone and I’ve had it connected before. Sitting at the end of my dock with my phone trying to connect and nothing!
I lost mine while surfing in Bali a week ago. Unfortunately, high tide came soon after, so even the Bluetooth search didn't pick up anything. And since my phone with the GoPro app was stolen a week earlier, I couldn't try that. Although, I'm wondering - if there is a site where I can register the IMEI of the device to mark it as lost (in case someone finds it). How can I find out the IMEI without the box, the device or the GoPro app it was linked to? Any tips?
I was taking videos with my GoPro hero 10 at a skate park and we left to go get some drinks, and when I came back, it was gone, so I’ve been trying to find it, is their any way of locating it on GPS? It really sucks, so I think I’m going to go onto eBay and Craigslist and try and find it. I really need some tips, so please reply😢
I’m so annoyed because it fell off of my kayak in the river and it was during a fast point where a couldn’t find it Edit: the water was murky so no first option
Even if you're within both bluetooth and wifi range, that beeper sucks and most of the time you won't hear it, it's really disappointing how GoPro does nothing to solve this, it's a crappy solution for such an expensive camera, and come on guys, this is an action camera, you're bound to lose it one way or another... Also most of the time I keep connections disabled on my gopro because it makes a huge difference in battery life, wifi and bluetooth eat the batteries like crazy, making that beeper solution even crappier, feels almost like GoPro wants us to lose our cameras.
Keep up the great work man! You have inspired me to make my own UA-cam Chanel and make my first edit with my GoPro! If you guys were so kind some feedback would be great!! Thanks man!
I lost mine in a pile of leaves while raking and I’m stupid and turn off the beeping and lights so it’s more hidden while I’m recording but now I can’t find it😭😂
I lost mine in my house some where...
The Jackalope sAMEEEEEEEE BROOOOOOO
same but my gopro is turned off, what now?
Banan mine was too! I found it in one of my sweaters pockets
I found it in the shelf 😂💪🏻

Awesome that you found it!
Literally just found my GoPro at a beach. Didn’t know about the locate setting that makes it beep. Thanks so much!!!
Great!!!
Did you lose it in the water or in the sand?
Who else has just watched this a few hours too late?
Mee😥
Same

I'm watching it before buying one

Literally have the same at the moment but in the woods. Searching for it right now
A gps would be a nice feature similar to the track my iPhone app

random Videos Its been 3 for me idk what to do... i have my box n shit and my passwords but no camera
Step 1 to finding your go pro- Turn go pro on
How the hell can I turn it on when it’s lost?
i actually lost my GoPro on 2019 in Athens Ohio and was sad and i never found it but this video helps me to remember me thank you.
Nice work 👍🏼

Thank you for the tips, good sir
Useful vid but I lost mine 10hrs ago in high seaweed area
haha.. ending is priceless!!! Homer Simpson moment.. D'Oh!.. but great tips!.. the only thing for me is that i turn off connection to save battery life.. looks like i need to keep it on now as a safety feature
Yeah, if you set the GoPro to auto power off, it’ll still save the vast majority of battery life while giving you the 8-hr lifeline when you need it.
@@Dcrainmaker thanks!.. will try that
4th option: yell GoPro Start Recording while searching for it! haha
Jerome Demers YAssssss
thank you very much, i'll try to find my gopro tomorrow 🙏🥃
I wish I had thought of at least the first thing when I lost my GoPro.
all methods at 6:16
Mine was stolen 8 blavk can it be blocked?
Does this work if the GoPro is off?
I lost mine the day I flew back to Melbourne. Good thing all my videos were all off it
Can i find it if i lost mine for 2 years?
Hi, great video. Why is the 8hr window so important? What happens if someone found and reset my GoPro 5, will these options still work?
If you lose something else you can get the tile sticker and it will stick to anything
I lost mine surfing 😐 first time trying it out
Sucks that GoPro's app doesn't work on their newest camera as my son just lost his and we can't track the bloody thing!
dang I guess its too late for me...lost mine like a month ago and iam just now watching this... :(
I lost my gopro 5 hero black smowboarding in Switzerland. Somebody found it and took it for sure. I did the same slope after I realised I lost it, but it was gone.
Just realize I lost my go pro. Have a filming to do tmrw. Stressing right now.😭
Tried the tips they aren't working. Mayb 8 hours has passed.
I lost my go pro and a lot of documents with my top box 3 months ago, i tried searching for it all day. I wish i could recover it somehow
lost mine roll racing along a 3 mile stretch
Quick tip on how to not lose your Go Pro. Don’t make a video on How to Find Your Lost Go Pro. ;)
Just lost mine and got it a week ago in my house but it isn’t on and on the app it says not found any tips
I also lost my hero 9 :/ a few days ago while skiing, i tried to get a replacement bc like the whole helmet mount ripped off (probably bc it was like -18c ) and i didnt get a replacement but a 25% discount.
On this crazy expensive price, GoPro batteries life should be a lot and best tracking options
I just lost my gopro fusion skydiving 😂
How about GPS? dont the new units have GPS in them? Isnt there some way that GPS could be used to locate the unit?
I was recommended here by UA-cam, and all of my GoPros are safe and sound. But if you’re reading this and you’ve lost your gopro, i wish you good luck :D
What if gopro is 8ft underwater?
My attachment broke and my GoPro fell into the Wailua River 😔 and I am now watching this video.
Thanks Ray. Yet another reason to swap out my Panasonic for a GoPro

Mine got stolen how do i find it then
I lost my hero 7black on the beach.is there anyway to find? Someone Please help me
Only the options mentioned in this video. Which depends on being within 8 hours. If it’s underwater though, most of these won’t work. Sorry!
I Lost my gopro 7 on the Sea 3 days ago making waterstart kiting ! And the best of it was i Shut down the wifi and Bluetooth off, to give me more Batterie !! Dahm
I just found one on a mountain and I’m trying to get it back to whoever lost it it’s the latest addition and it’s brand new
If you contact GoPro support, they’ll be able to sort it out and get it back to the right person. Cheers!
Does the go pro have to be turned on to locate? either with the beep or blue icon?
Just lost mine right now at At The beach in La Jolla San Diego !... Wonder if it comes back to shore eventually or does it go to the ocean ?
Unfortunately I didn’t realise I lost it until three weeks after using it last ! Doh!
I literally just lost my GoPro in the ocean today… I hadn’t connected it to the phone nor have the app downloaded so I’m never getting it back
The way GoPro works is the battery dies faster than the speed of Bluetooth or whatever.
Can we track the gopro 10 as well?
I lost mine in my house and it’s turned off and I have searched in every inch of my house and I can’t find it😭
Braiden Bolling try loosing it in a river 😔
One Gropro in the hand is better than two in the bush!!!
Is there a similar feature available on the DJI OSMO action?
I have a unreasonable question about my I just checked my gogro it just a little one is it waterproof
All GoPro's since the Hero 5 are waterproof, including the Session (really old), or GoPro Mini (new).
@@Dcrainmaker but I checked my screen
Why is the bluetooth icon on my app not there? Not even greyed out? I have about 6 hours left!!!
Nevermind I didn't find her in the time frame but persistence pays off. Found her by hard searching.
What do you do if your GoPro’s off
Sadly, if it’s after 8 hours you’ll need to employ a bunch of small children to find it.
I lost mine when it was off yesterday. I connected once to the app but now it’s not connected to the app. I don’t know where it is
Same the app doesn’t work for me when it was lost in the ocean
i lost in the beach in water. how you finde it with that 3 ways? if you are not 10m close no one of this ways work.
Just add finde my gopro with the gps
GPS doesn’t work underwater, as it can’t contact satellites or transmit its location.
It fell off my helmet and in the woods and it didn’t even have a scratch
Genius ideas. Thank me later. First two thought of by me, third one from Reddit. This is what I will be trying.

i just want to know how to find your lost go-pro in your house... i know i brought it back (from Disneyland) and its in my house
Sadly, if it’s after 8 hours, the Bluetooth has turned off. At which point, I find it best to ask the kiddos to find it for a candy reward. 🤣

Today I lost my GoPro Hero 7 Black at the time of journey by bus 😢😢😢😢 unfortunately i don't match the gopro app with my mobile..
If you're still on the bus, and you think it's somewhere on the bus, try and use the 3rd party Bluetooth spotlight app, it might help you find it.

But it is not possible now.
