Q&A /r/GoPro Weekly Questions Thread - Ask all of your questions here!
Welcome to the /r/GoPro Weekly Questions thread!
This is the place where everyone, beginner or advanced, should ask your general GoPro related questions, or ask for help troubleshooting! We encourage you to post here rather than make your own thread, as this is a great place for us veteran users to answer your questions regularly, it minimizes basic question clutter on the main page, and allows users with discussion threads to stay on the front page longer before getting bumped off over time.
A couple notes before you get started here-
- We have community rules, and everyone needs to follow them. Please take some time to read through them and their descriptions, and if you have any questions, just PM the moderators!
- Remember to make your BEST effort to find the answer before asking. Read your manuals (link below), and use the search function and google to at least get yourself started. Asking to be "spoon fed" simple answers that can easily be found by googling will often get you a short comment, so make your best effort and share what you've found so far if you can't find the answer!
- If you have a problem, don't just describe it... SHOW US! Telling us you have some "blur" in your image could be ANY number of things, but showing us might help us figure it out for you quickly and easily. Upload some samples to youtube or imgur!
- This is a user-run community, and is not staffed by GoPro. We can make recommendations and share tips, but we can't resolve shipping and order issues, and for things of that nature you need to contact support!
Remember to check out the wiki in the sidebar for lots of useful info about all things GoPro! Below is list of resources for our most common questions.

Reset the counter
My gopro froze on the "powering off due to overheating" message screen then my friend panicked and ripped off my mic cover instead of the door to pull the battery.

Battery level while charging
Hey everyone! A first time GoPro user/owner here. Just got my Hero 13 today and I was wondering if there's a way to display battery charge level on screen while the camera has been turned off. I'm charging it via USB c cable. I know it's a strange question but I'm sure that someone could give me a definitive answer. Thanks in advance! :)
How to get my edits into gopro cloud?
Hey, pretty new to this so possible im just being stupid and not doing something correctly. I have created a couple of video edits that appear in the Studio section of the goPro Quik app. Ive also added them to an album. When i log on to the goPro website to view my media library however they are nowhere to be seen. How do I go about uploading these to the cloud so i can see them in my media library in the browser? Thanks.

Gopro 13 picture quality
So im completely new to photography so I apologize if this a stupid question. So Ive noticed the video quality is amazing but the photo quality is very pixelated. Are there any settings I could change to fix that? I set it to raw hoping to get the best quality but I still seem to struggle. Ive seen some amazing photos taken with a gp13 so i know its capable

ND Filter Detection
My understanding is that the latest GoPro can detect when one of the official ND filters is installed. I see some comments about this automatically putting the camera into some kind of “cinematic” mode. Can anyone explain what that actually means? I would prefer to use a variable ND filter, but there’s only third party options. It’s not clear what I would be losing, with one of those.

Quik is even more god awful for editing 360 footage
Since the latest update, my workflow with Quik has gotten significantly slower and worse. I wasn't the biggest fan of the app before, but now I absolutely loathe using it. I hardly want to film anything because it means I'll have to use Quik. Does anyone actually like this app?
Since the update:
First you must close a fucking advert or two from GoPro begging you to buy their cloud bullshit. It can't make auto edits from 360 footage anyway, and I don't need a 10% discount on t-shirts so I don't subscribe.
Before you do anything to a 360 video, you must wait while it stabilizes. Why is there no way to turn off this default action? Ridiculously pointless to force this upon the user. Most of my videos I don't use horizon or world lock at all. I have to wait for it to stabilize, and turn it off before I can do anything to my videos.
Next while trimming the clip, it's in gyro mode, so you have to reangle it all the time while seeking so you can see what the fuck you're looking at, or keep tilting your phone to see anything. Plus the low res preview is somehow fucking dogshit now, but this doesn't mean that the wifi connection is any faster. It lags worse. Plus the trim seekbar doesn't mark your highlights, so you have to seek first, remember when the highlight is, then go trim it.
And now the keyframing editor is much worse. Your video is 1/4 the size instead of full screen. What an awesome way to setup your keyframes, with a teeny little video you can barely see! I don't give a shit about the AI object tracking or the stupid camera spins you can add. Why no preset option for a zoom, pitch, roll, and yaw for a keyframe that you can define? Many of my videos I use 1 or 2 keyframe angles. If I could preset this, it would save so much time, and look the same between clips.
Godforbid you want to make a quick edit with some clips. First, disable the GoPro logos at the beginning and end, switch to a theme with no frame or stupid transition effect between clips. Then for every clip you add, double check it didn't auto trim out the good parts. First, disable beatmach and select manual trimming. Then select pretty much the whole clip every time. And why the are extremely basic editing features like PLAYBACK SPEED behind a fucking paywall??? Holy shit it's just an unbelievable amount of added steps to do anything simple. How about a editing theme I can create?
Then every time you export, you have to select your settings. Why isn't there a preset to make this faster? I don't like the default settings, and I must choose mine every single time. Granted, this was the same before the update, but how hard could it be to add? The fucking app is called Quik, after all.
I was looking forward to the Windows Quik app, but that was discontinued after stringing us along for a year or two. The discontinued GoPro Player for Windows is literally their best software at the moment, it's hilarious. I don't understand how GoPro is this fucking stupid. Literally everything they do now is so fucking bad. I can't wait to see how shit the Max 2 will be. This is the last GoPro I'll ever own.

Best set up for soccer keeper?
Does gopro merge a camera from behind the goal and one from a 20 yard? What kind of post production can you do with it? Can you split screen the clip?

Hero 7 black settings
Going on a beach vacation in a few days. Dug out my hero 7 black I got a while back and was wondering if anyone had recommendations for settings. I’ll either have it on a tripod or mounted on a hat or chest mount. I understand both will require different settings, I can’t find anyone with settings they used while recording on a beach. I’ll be fishing from the beach. If anyone has suggestions please let me know. I know I’m behind the times but it was gifted to me and I never used it. This will be the first time using a GoPro. Any help/tips appreciated.

Bought a Hero 4k will I regret it
Hi I recently bought a GoPro hero 4K (haven’t open or used it yet).
I’m off to the Maldives later in the year and wanted a way of capturing some of the snorkelling / water activities but really didn’t want to spend lots of money.
All in camera, floating handle and SD card it’s cost me £205
But watching a lot of YouTube has got me thinking should I of stomached the additional £150 to stretch to the GoPro hero 13 .
I’ll be honest I think i’ll only be using the GoPro for holidays.
So simple question am I gonna regret my choice?

Bluetooth Mic HERO 13
When I got the Hero 13 I saw that it supports the DJI Wireless Mics. My question is does the HERO 13 ONLY support those mics?
I’ve got a Ulanzi AM18 wireless mic system and I was hoping to get one of those receivers to connect for dialogue capture.
Anybody have experience with this setup??

New batteries wont work
I have a gopro hero 5 and it only has one rechargeable battery. The lifespan is maybe an hour. I recently bought 4 more from wasabi and a charger. When I put the new batteries on the charger the light is green which indicates that they are charged.
When I put them in my GoPro they are completely dead. I tried charging them overnight and still the same thing happened. Did I get duds or am I doing something wrong?

Wireless Microphones
I've purchased a GP13 4/5 weeks ago and I am lovin' it, everything works fine even with the build in microphone, but I want to buy Boya By V4 and I was wondering will it work with my GP13 and if I do need the adapter to connect it or can I use it without the adapter? Thanks for your inputs!
