Hey Guys,
I hope you like the video! Please let me know what questions you have and how you are liking the Hero 11.
Also, just so you are aware, I've heard there are some trolls out there trying to scam people by impersonating me. 😐
I am not doing any giveaways and will never ask for anything from you. Be safe, be aware and take care.
Thanks so much for watching!
Pretty cool video, I just switched from gp7 to the 11, already have the quick app, now with the 11 when I download the videos to my phone I can't watch them, only audio.
It will play the videos on the app but not on the regular photo gallery app on my android. Any idea how to fix this issue?
Your video is the go-to resource right after getting my GoPro - for everything from unboxing to making the first recording! Thanks for making it so easy to follow!
THANK YOU! You are my very FIRST Super Thanks! I REALLY appreciate your generosity!
@@JordanHetrickGlad to know that I'm the First :-) ! I owe another Super Thanks to you - without your video, I wouldn't already be up and running! Here's another Super Thanks to say thanks for all the effort you put into making your instructional videos. It's what GoPro (the company) themselves should be doing to help their customers!
Thank you so much for your kind message! I just saw this for some reason, but it really made me feel happy!👏
need ND Filter to achieve good footage
My GP11 arrived today… my first GoPro.. I decided on this camera to record what I see snorkelling on Norfolk Island so I can share what I actually see with my family. As always with a new thing start with UA-cam. Your video is THE starting place for a newbie. Thank you and well done. I have pre-ordered the book for Kindle. ETA October 29, 2022.
Hi David,
Congrats on the new camera and thank you for the positive comment! You are welcome! You will love this one for snorkeling with the fam! I've captured so many amazing memories in the water with my wife and kids. !t's so easy to always have the GoPro with you. Have a great day and thanks again!
So super amazing
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks!
That is SO NICE OF YOU! Thank you for your Super Thanks!!! Have an awesome day!
Great insights, Jordan! Thank you for giving beginners an in-depth look into HERO11 Black! 🙌
Yes, thank you. It's always great to help people tap into the full potential of your cameras!!
(real)
Hi GoPro, can i use hero 9/10 case or accesories on hero 11? are they on the same size?
@@Nonsensehehe Hi Noxus, Yes, the Hero 11 is exactly the same body as the 9 and 10, so all of the accessories are compatible. 👍👏
@@JordanHetrick thanks mate!! Appreciate it
excellent video...I'm a first time go pro user and had no idea what to do with this thing. I will be referring back to this often
Thanks
Jordan, thanks for helping us beginners, I have a HERO 4 Silver and love it. Just purchased a HERO 11 Black and now I can't wait to dive into all the new features.
Your video was just what I needed; covering just the right amount of material to get me started.
I recently bought this camera and started recording and uploading videos to my channel. I am very pleased, I also bought additional protective glasses for the screen and camera
First thing I did after getting g GoPro 11 is to break the other door looking portion, very confusing . Amazing 😊
I just got my GoPro in the mail today Sunday the 2nd of October. And I got all the steps to up to where to charge it. So thank you so far because I know nothing about GoPros this is my first one ever for my UA-cam channel. I will finish watching the rest tomorrow after it's charged. Thank you very much for the easy steps.
Awesome! Thank you so much for the comment! And great job for charging it up first! See you tomorrow!
@@JordanHetrick no thank you for making this video I really am not in any way a tech guy .I know nothing about cameras in general. I have a UA-cam channel with 3,000 subscribers and I'm growing so I wanted to get the best of the best. And when I saw GoPro 11 Creator edition I figured that's perfect for me because I'm sick and tired of my phone zooming in and out and going Auto zooming. So I figured I would drop a lot of money and become professional. So thank you for helping me understand GoPros and learning the right way.
thank you sooo much! i just bought my first ever Gopro! everything was clear in this video!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
As a first time go pro user who was gifted the Hero 11 Black, I just want to say Thank you Jordan for being so clear and to the point with this guide. My go pro case was a bit different tho, the casing was entirely black and it had a head mount too. Going to Indonesia tomorrow and can’t wait to use it there for the first time. Thanks a lot mate:)
Hi Chandra,
You are very welcome! Yes, there are a few different bundles available, but I'm glad you found the video helpful! Have fun in Indo!
How is u GoPro ?
@@watchmanexpert they found a Gopro in Indonesian jungle, but no owner I think it’s his
Ditto, I bought the book. Thanks for the help !
What would be recommended settings for windsurfing video? The older GoPro had the fisheye lens aspect ratio that made waves look small!
Hi Jordan, just a message to say that tutorials can not get any better than yours. Many thanks for creating and sharing.
THANK YOU Luis! That is fantastic to hear!
Hi just got a go pro for Christmas I wasto eager to open it .I put memory card in the wrong way closed the door and it was stuck for so long I had to use a butter knife to open the
Battery door .note before putting in the memory card make sure it is in the rightward before you close the door
When I film on the street busking footage on the go pros... the shops lights in the back ground flicker... people say to change to 25fps altho it does'nt make a difference which frames it is... there are anti flickering special effects on the video editing software, altho when I over lay it, the sacrifice is the people walking through that area is blurry.... double the nightmear if the footage is handheld... will this ever be resolved??!!
Cannot thank you enough for making this tutorial for beginners! It's so clear, and easy to follow, and answered every question before I could ask it
Awesome to hear! Thank you for the comment! I'm really happy to hear that I was able to help you get started.👍
Wow, I don’t even own a GoPro and this was helpfully. However, been thinking about getting my first GoPro a 10 or 11 and that’s why I’m watching the video which is still quite helpful in research evaluating. The communication and explanation as quite clear for a beginner which is quite important.
What are the best settings for filming a hockey game with the camera on the goalies chest or helmet
Jordon, thanks for the Beginner's Tutorial. It's been too long since I've used a GoPro (and it was old). This was the perfect tutorial to get up to date with the GoPro11 Black.
Awesome to hear and thank yo for the comment! Have fun with your new model GoPro!
After I had used my new GoPro Hero 11 Black a few times, I was wanting to return it. It was overheating and the battery didn't last long at all. But since I'd had it more than 30 days, I figured they wouldn't take it back. So, I sat down with it and went through all of the settings. The next time I took it out, everything worked perfectly. The Quik app is great - as a remote control and as a video editor. I wish I'd found your video in December..
Hi, I'm glad you figured it out. I think a lot of people are dissatisfied when they don't understand the camera. Like any tool, you need to know how to use it. The Hero 11 can produce amazing quality videos, so I'm glad you are enjoying it!
This is crystal clear for GoPro beginners, thank you so much for your good communication. 👍🏼👍🏼😁
Thank you so much for your comment! You are very welcome and I'm happy it came across clear and easy for you.
please help me how to take photo i still couldn't figure out where is the button to click for photo in Go pro
this is literally the best tutorial ever, everyone in every genre should take lessons from this tutorial!! Explained everything perfectly and concise!!
Heading in a airboat ride in the swamps of Florida. What should my settings be on my go pro hero 11.
What are the things should I check before buying a used one?
You're a lifesaver. First time GoPro (any for that matter, any action camera) user here. I got frustrated because I couldn't find the Night Timelapse mode. I kept checking the basic video settings. After watching your video, I realised I got to click on the Time Lapse mode to find the other modes 😅 I felt I might have received a fake Gopro 11. You saved my local dealer a nasty phone call from me 😂
Hi Swapnil,
Thanks so much for the comment and congrats on your first GoPro. The menus can definitely be a bit confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Happy to hear that I helped solve your mystery!
Came to a start of using my go pro after using DJI Action 2
I hope ill love the go pro more
I learned SO much. This camera was practically a BRICK until I watched this video. Great job. I'm going to buy the book right now.
thank you for this wonderful video. Looks like Im headed out to get the 11 after my 5 year old GP6 decided to imbibe water at the pool last week. Again thank you for the video.l
What would you do as a parent who wants to film your son's soccer matches is the GoPro 11 creator edition good option?
I just got my gopro so excited to be able to use it on my trip to hawaii
Nice, have fun in the islands! A GoPro is a great way to capture the beauty!
What settings would you use in a dark night club ? Im a Dj planing to film my gigs at work ? I will not film in 4 or 5k but 1080.
I can't view hero 11 videos on my computer. I can sometimes here the voice but no video. I have installed the HEVC extension app but still no video. Can you help?
That is strange, especially if you installed an HEVC extension. Did you transfer them to your computer before trying to play them? After you've transferred them, if they still don't play, I would recommend trying another viewer. Have you tried viewing them on VLC?
@@JordanHetrick I spent an hour on the phone with a GOPRO tech and we finally got it to work with the HEVC extension. Thanks for your help with above video.
I just came from Best Buy from buying my first ever GoPro for a trip to Italy, Israel, and for everything else, this was the PERFECT introduction video to get the highest settings and to understand the many features, to me they are all new lol THANK YOU for taking your taking to make this video
probably the best video that I've watched about the gopro 11 since it was released, very clearly explained what all the settings are how to get to them and what to use them for excellent.
One more question. When I turn the camera on, at the bottom center it says time warp. How do I get the camera to power up and be in standard video and not time warp?
No worries. Swipe Down from the top of the rear screen to bring up the Dashboard. Then Swipe over to the Preferences. Under General>Default, change the setting to Last Used Video.
@@JordanHetrick Thank you.
Is it watertight enough for a Niagra water falls boat ride without the extra housing?
What would be good for snowboarding shots?
What is maximum recording time continuous and how long battery last continuously?
I guess for setup it has to have battery in ? Because I tried with only usb plugged in and it only stayed at usb plugged in screen and wouldn’t connect to app
Hey another question is do you need a subscription to share videos to social media?
I just received my first GoPro (Hero11 Black) today, and with your help I am sure I will be able to master it. With this video, I am off to a good start. Thanks so much for this information.
Buying my first GoPro, to take on a family trip. What would be the best settings that won’t kill the battery quick but still give the best quality video recording?
JORDAN BRILLIANT VIDEO THERE THANKS FOR SHARING THAT INFORMATION VERY USEFUL CAN I PUT AN INTRO ON THE GO PRO 12 OR DO I NEED A DIFFERENCE SOFTWARE
Can I use a USB-C splitter on the Hero 11 so I can simultaneously connect the Volta and an external microphone like the Rode Wireless Go2 or the DJI Mic? Thanks!
which ND filters set do you recommend me in Indian market? Telesin is good?
just bought this camera, i enjoyed your video and will attempt to use it to set up my camera tomorrow. I'm old lol so im a little overwhelmed at this so far. wish me luck and ty.
Congrats on the new camera. You can do it. Just be patient and pause the video as much as you need to.👍
Hi I’m new to GoPro. What are your presets for using the GoPro as a dashcam?
I am really excited about mines, I bought it yesterday so now it’s just a day or two away from being here, GoPro 11 black with enduro battery, thank you Jordan for walking us through all the setup process, 😊
just came back from Aruba camera died side door failure, gopro is taking care of it for me
Oh that's a bummer, but I'm glad to hear GoPro is taking care of it for you!
i just ordered this camera for my trip to the galapagos. thank you for this great info!!
How come my videos on my GoPro 11 black cannot be played on my laptop, they are all under codec videos and the subtitles are under GX and can't be played on any video editing apps, unless I used a pretty expensive converter. Can you please give me a hand on how to get a remedy?
Can this action camera used as a regular camcorder to shoot family videos?
I am a new Gopro user and normally only use my phone so will be a steep learning curve for me. This video is just what I needed. Thank you
Awesome! You're welcome. That is great to hear!
Any tips on how to import and overlay other data like speed, heart rate, etc?
What is the best route to get content from gopro cloud to google photos without losing quality/resolution?
I’ve owned the GoPro Max for two years and have yet to learn how to create videos from multiple clips that also allow me to change POV in the final edit. Can you advise where I can get info?
thank you so much got my go pro 11 black today.this so very helpful for beginners.
Just a note on the enduro batteries they dont seem to last any longer than my normal blue batteries but they seem to do better in cold weather, both batteries have the same capacity.
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the comment. Even though the Enduro battery has the same capacity, the Enduro battery far outlasts the regular battery even in moderate temperatures. At 5k-60, the Enduro battery will last for about 60 minutes or recording time, compared to around 40 minutes using the regular battery. You will notice a big difference if you end up switching between the two battery types. Hope that helps, but I would go with the Enduro battery when you have one available.
@@JordanHetrick I have many of each and I have to say the only real difference I have noticed is in very cold temperatures , The Enduro seem to last longer. I have to keep my camera inside my coat between shoots in minus 20 and below. I will have to do a set time trial and see how they pan out.
Just bought a Hero 11 . Is it better to have a bigger sd card or a couple of smaller ones?
This video just helped me make my decision to get this camera. I was nervous it would be too technically difficult but now I’m confident I’ll be able to use it easily!! Thank you!! ❤
💙💜❤
I'm so happy I was able to help give you the confidence you needed to dive in! You're welcome and enjoy!
a very complete explanation for go pro just 23 min thank you so much for the time and to share with us, I subscribed to your channel
any problem with GoPro 11 just come back to your video
Hi Farhad,
Awesome! You are so welcome! Thanks for the sub. Come back whenever you need help!
Dear Jordan, thanks for the great tutorial. Please note that the live mobile phone preview is available for 1080p videos but not for high-res videos.
Thank you!
Any recomendation on what to use for video editing and storing your files? I do not have a desktop pc or laptop. I am an apple user about to make a decision on buying an ipad, mac mini or laptop for editing and managing my files. What would you recommend and what would be the best software for editing with the new platform? Thanks in advance.
2 years old but still very helpful information, thank you!
OMG. This video is AMAZING. I had a GoPro Hero 5 and hadn't changed it until now. I felt lost. This video goes straight to the point. THANK YOU! I will be definitely buying your book!!!
Hi Nora,
You are welcome and THANK YOU! I appreciate your comment so much. Enjoy the book!
If I was going to mount my gopro on a bike which setting do you recommend?
Hi Juan,
It really depends what view you are looking for. The Handlebar Seatpost Mount gives you multiple options for attaching your camera to a few different areas of the bike frame. I like using the Chest Mount because it adds some perspective into the shots with the handlebars in the frame. The Helmet Mounts pretty much just show what's in front of you, which can get kind of boring at times. Hope that helps!
I just got a new Hero 11. T his video is very helpful.
I have a go pro 7 and I want to upgrade. I use my go pro for my podcast as well.
I do notice when I record for my podcast my video are recorded in short frames. What can I do to fit that and which go pro should I upgrade too. Thanks for your time.
Wow, I had a go pro hero 3, years ago. Just got my 11 today and wow i dont even know what im doing with it and all the settings. But thank you this is a start.
You're welcome! Yes, GoPro has added A LOT since the Hero 3. But at least it should be easier since now there is a screen on it.😉
I gpt my GoPro11 yesterday, and I was looking on internet for instructions how to format the SDCard, then I found your video and your channel, I am so happy I found you, You do an excellent work explaining things on your videos, I think I am going to study them all, Thank you so much, What a great help you are, Man, I love you.
Awww thank you SO MUCH!!! I am so happy you found me and that I'm able to help you out. Enjoy!!
I ordered the batteries and charger for my new GoPro11 like you recommended and they cam and batteries came the same day!...BUT the camera doesn't have detachable batteries???????
I just bought a brand new one of these only to realise that now I need to shell out even more money on a new phone!
As I only have iPhone 7 Plus which isn’t compatible with the quik app
This tutorial was very helpful for me to start filming and starting my travel vlog channel. Thanks!
Great to hear! Good luck on your channel!!!
@@JordanHetrick Thanks and keep up the amazing work!!
My camera keeps shutting off a minute or 2 or into filming. Should I bring it back?
Thank you for such an easy to understand explanation how things work. Your presentaion was flawless.
What's name you use gopro on your backpack with tripod? I want to order one for me. Thank you!
Got my Hero 11 black last night super excited.
Nice! Congrats on the new camera!
Just bought one of these and literally took 10 minutes trying to open the battery compartment door. Is it stiff to open first time normally or could it be faulty?
Hi Justin,
It shouldn't be that stiff, but it can be a bit tough to open the first time. I guess there is a chance it could be faulty. I haven't heard of any faulty doors being an issue though.
I just received my new GoPro 11 and used this tutorial. It was complete. Thanks.
Great! You're welcome and thanks for the comment!
Wo,w Jordan, this tutorial was fantastic. I have been thinking of getting a GoPro camera for years... This Xmas may be the time.
Thank you for your videos. They are extremely useful
Hi, how are you bud. Am a semi truck driver looking to purchase a gopro. How many cameras do they come with if I purchase the bundle, and are the magnetic mount so I can mount it at the side of the drivers door and also passenger side door? Which one is the best to get? Thanks and have a good day
I'm just bought this camera. I hope it will give me some excellent still photos and video for my next trip. I'll let my husband set it up. Thanks.
OK, 3 things. First things first, I bought this GoPro like a month ago and didn't touch it until now because I didn't have an SD card (so I dragged on that). 2nd Megan, I did everything updated and stuff, but is my GoPro supposed to overheat? and third on the dirt. Did any of y'all have to pay for the subscription in order to continue on the app? because mine didn't work until I bought the yearly plan, no biggie, just wondering.
ok I just watched the video a bit longer it answered my 2nd Megan lol.
So when do you stop upgrading to the next new release gopro? Is it OK to say to yourself this one is doing the job I will just stick with this one for now?
Hi Glen,
That is a great question! I think it's different for everyone. If the GoPro you have is doing the job, then it's doing the job.😉 Once you see some new features or settings that will improve the videos YOU are creating, then it's probably a good time to consider an upgrade.
I’m in the market for a new GoPro since my 3Black but the dust and this video cleared up a bunch of stuff for me. Thank you for that!
But, when you started covering the Quick app, your phone was in a holder with a GP mount. What holder was that???????
Thank you so much for sharing! You made it easy for me to get everything set up.
In the gopro quick app, the micro SD card doesn't shows and says the card not detected by app, while the camera detect it. Can u please guide me how to solve this issue.?
If you haven’t got subscription does it still work like that so you can see the photos off the go pro on the app on your phone thanks
How many time do u preform up dates?
Is there blue tooth mic 0ption?
Thank you for such thorough and clear instructions! None came with the camera, so this was extremely helpful. I'm going to the Galapagos, so want to get some great underwater shots.
Hi Jordan could you please link me to your video where you explain how to save/share the videos in high quality? Just worried that I’ll be using lower quality versions if I share from the quik app!
GoPro Hero 11 & also the mini:-
Does it have wi-fi?
Can you use it wired to a plug?
Can you watch live, on your iPhone/iPad?
Does it have night vision?
Do you think I could use a GoPro locked off on a tripod on the beach to film myself surfing. The break is about 50-60 yards from where I would set the camera up, and I was wondering if there would be enough resolution to crop to a reasonably close head to toe shot of myself with enough detail that I could use it for coaching purposes.
Hi Michael. The GoPro is a wide angle lens, so unfortunately it won't be close enough to see yourself surfing from the beach. You really need a telephoto lens to get up close shots at a distance. Mounting the GoPro on the nose of the board looking back at you can help with analyzing your foot placement. The mouth mount will give you a good perspective of which lines you are taking on a wave. Hope that helps!
@@JordanHetrick Hey Jordan thanks for responding and your well produced tutorial. Yes I understand it's a wide angle lens, but what I'm wondering is if the 4k resolution is detailed enough to counter act the wide angle so that you could zoom in and crop the image at a reasonable enough quality to use. I noticed in your tutorial that the linear mode is equivalent to a 39mm lens which is getting close to medium focal length territory. I guess my question is: If I put it into linear and then blow up the image maybe another 2-3x (degrading it to around regular HD or SD resolution) would that be enough to see me at about 50 - 60 yards. I don't expect it to be a super close clear shot but I don't really care about image quality as long as I can basically see my movements. I realize it's not the intended use of the GoPro, and the post production key framing/panning and scanning would be more labor intensive, BUT the GoPro is a lot more economical than a regular 4k camcorder and much more suited to being on the beach near water. Thanks for taking the time.
Pls Jordan can I use my GoPro 11 without connecting it to a phone? I’m using an iPhone 6s+ which is just 15.8 but the requirements to download the app is 16.0
I just pre-ordered your book... your book on the 9 was so helpful to an experienced camera person (but not with the action cams). I'm glad to support you!
Awesome, thank you so much Matt! Have a great day!
Very informative. For a beginner GoPro user. Hopefully i could be able to capture beautiful scenery and videos thru your tutorial. 🙏👏🏻
I was thinking about using the dumbed-down mode at first but after this, I think im gonna use all the settings
Nice! I'm glad to hear that you got the confidence to use the best settings! Enjoy!
