Hey there, My name is Tim and I love to travel, explore and share my love of GoPros.
If you subscribe to my channel I will take you along on our journeys to view some incredible sights and wonderful places, dive into culture and try some (mostly) delicious food along the way.
I originally started this channel to highlight an event I was taking part in to raise money for cancer research - a cause that means a lot to me - but it has transformed into.a fun way to document and share our fun experiences together as a family.
More recently I have also been sharing my love of GoPros and making videos with tips and tricks on how to get the most out of these incredible little cameras.
I have lived all over the world but I'm currently based in South Australia. Im always happy to connect and answer any questions you may have. You can also hit me up on social media and if you'd like to contact me for business purposes I can reached at itsadventuretim@gmail.com
I've been seeing these leaks around, but nobody has verified them. They don't quite look right to me, particularly that macro lens. The attachment system on the back of it looks totally wrong and weird compared to if you look at the Max Lens Mod or the standard lens protector. The Ultra-wide lens mod also seems suspect, given that it looks the same as the Max Lens Mod 2.0. If that's what they are calling it, then it's likely a rebranding rather than a new product. The only other reason for it I can think of is if the lens on the main HERO Black camera has been re-designed, necessitating a new wide angle mod design. If so, that might indicate a decently wide angle on the main camera to keep up with DJI (DJI's Ultra Wide mode is the ultimate POV lens). The magnetic mount will be good if GoPro has done it, but if you look at the purported Hero camera, there's no provision for it. Why release a new camera that can't use any new magnetic mount system? Now, I cannot say for certain that these leaks aren't real. But I'm a bit perplexed at how everyone is taking them at face value. They look polished, and maybe the Hero camera is real. But I'm not convinced about the HERO 13 Black imagery. Way too easy to have manipulated from a photo of a 12 and a third party macro attachment. Not saying it absolutely isn't real, just that I would take it all with a pinch of salt until the real announcement, or a leak from someone who has a track record.
Hey @MrRickyCheese . I agree with you. Last years DJI Osmo had 1/1.3 and the Insta360 R 1 had a one inch sensor, so GoPro really has to bring its A game this year. Anything less than 1/1.3 will not be a good look. Thanks for taking the time to drop a line. All the best.
Hey @bainoe ! Thanks for your comment! I'm pretty excited too! I'm really hoping for some big new features this year! I'm really hoping for a bigger sensor. Thanks for your msg. All the best.
The heat sink images are probably fake. It does not make any sense and takes a lot of space. Furthermore, it would ruin the design. This can’t be true, like the leaks last year with the 1” version of the GoPro. 8K? Maybe, but totally unnecessary and bad for low light and rolling shutter performance. Magnetic mount? Not even worth thinking about. Just get a third party plate for the DJI system. Haven’t heard of any feature, which would justify an upgrade. Maybe real interchangeable lenses, a global shutter sensor, ProRes recording or an in internal ND, but I haven’t heard anything regarding that.
Hey @alexanderdreger9109 ! Thanks for your comment. I think these photos looks too well composed to be fake. Some of the images originally appeared on the Amazon US site where eagle-eyed viewers caught sight of the GoPro Hero and the new accessories. I wouldn't be surprised if someone at GoPro even leaked them on purpose. The new DJI Osmo Action 5 is due out next so maybe they put them up to steal their thunder. The one inch sensor hasn't really got much of a mention this year, but with other cameras - like the Insta 360 ONE R - already having that feature, GoPro may be in danger of losing some of its market share if it doesn't do anything similar this thing around. I'm not really a fan of 8K at this stage. I rarely use 5.3K on the Hero 12 as it makes it hard to edit such big file sizes. Other cameras and third party companies - like Ulanzi and Telesin - have been using magnetic mounts for a couple of years so they are behind the ball on that one, but still GoPro does usuallly come up with some cool features. I love your ideas - a global shutter would be amazing for one - but I guess we will have to wait and see until Sept 12. All the best.
@@AdventureTimMedia Thank you for your answer. Yes, my feature "whishes" are not going to happen anytime soon😄 Not until they release a premium GoPro for 999$. I started loving the 5.3k recording in 8:7 and it is actually my standard setting (or 4k 8:7, if I need 60p), because it allows me to stabilize and lens correct the footage in post and I still get a good 4k resolution. Rolling shutter fortunately never was a big problems with GoPro cameras. And concerning the 1" sensor: I acutally prefer the shorter minimum fucus distance a smaller sensor provides. But this is of cause really subjective and everybody has different needs and wishes. Never forget how much choice we have these days, it is just mind blowing.
After GoPro refused to honor the 2nd battery promotion they lost me. No complaints process and they just clearly did not care. DJI however “so far” have been great. My action 4 was replaced outside of warranty which I was very grateful for and when they sent the reconditioned one it came with a spare battery so I ended up with 2 batteries which was awesome.
Hey @michaelhampshire249 ! Thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear about your bad experience regarding the battery promo. That would definitely tick you off, especially if you have been a loyal customer. Really interesting to hear about your experience with DJI though. That is a sign of a company that seems to care about its customers. There arent many of those ones around today, so I'm glad to hear they could help you out. Thanks again for taking the time to drop me a line. All the best.
Hey @urbanmanc ! Thanks for your comment. The planned heat sink sounds like it may be at least a step in the right direction, so I'm happy to give Gopro the benefit of the doubt until i get the camera on my hands and really put it to the test. Heat sinks in PCs normally have a bit of space around them - and often a fan - to aid in the cooling process. Gopros don't have a lot of space to work with, so I'm very interested to see how they plan to pull this off. From my experience, I've had a lot less issues with overheating with the Hero 11 and 12 than earlier models and removing GPS from the 12 was supposed to make a difference but i know its non-inclusion annoyed a lot of ppl. Thanks again for dropping a msg.
Hey @SopatherSes ! Thanks for your comment. The Hero 11 and 12 both have 16:9, 4:3 and 8:7 for their aspect ratios. The 12 also has 9:16 . To get 1:1 you would need to crop your footage to that size in post production. If I was you I'd choose to film in 8:7 and then crop it later. That way you wouldn't have to crop as much of your footage. Hope this helps. All the best.
Hey @MOTOUK1 ! Thanks for your comment. DJI def make great cameras and have lead the way in several areas but Gopros are def still relevant. we are all hoping for significant updates this time round .
Hey @roninr8199 ! Thanks for your comment. The DJI OSMO Action 5 is due to drop next week - August 28 - so it will be interesting to see what features it will come with. From the leaks, it sounds like there will also be two cameras coming out -a standard model and a Pro version- but it will retain the same 1/1.3 sensor as last years model. Thanks again for your msg. All the best .
Hey @FOOTBALL_CPT ! Good to hear from you again! I haven't heard any more about that but I definitely hope so. DJI and Insta 360 both had bigger sensors on their models last yr so GP really has to atleast match them this time. if I hear anything more I'll let ya know. cheers
Hey @MrZACATECANO100 ! Thanks for your comment. Overheating has long been an issue, but at least they are trying to find a remedy. I agree, the design is a bit unusual but I'm sure after a while - esp if it makes a difference- no one is going to care. I remember last year when the 12 came out it looked strange - blue speckles , really? - but it was a good little camera and now , no one blinks an eye . Thanks for taking the time to comment. All the best.
Well, not 1 feature I'm looking out for. Not addressing the root cause of overheating is an issue. Heat = lost of energy that could be used to increase battery life. The camera should perform well with low light conditions and in the cold... and we do not need more than 4k resolution, 4k with a high frame rate 500 or so for great slomo is desirable
Hey @wildtreksAustralia ! Thanks for your comment. It sounds like the Heat sink is GoPro's idea of preventing overheating. Normally, in computing, they require a larger space to allow the heat to dissipate quicker so I'm interested to see how they are going to make this happen with their new design. GoPro's dont have a lot of space to play with. There are several ways you can increase battery life but having more efficient batteries is ultimately the best solution. I've found the Enduro a massive step forward in that department. The old blue ones were terrible. Low light is something that has long been something they have needed to work on. The best solution would be a bigger sensor, so hopefully they have one in store. I agree - 4K is more than enough for most situations , but I think 500fps is a bridge too far. 4k at 240fps would be nice though. Thanks again for dropping me a line and all the best exploring the Blue Mountains. I've never had a chance to visit there but I liked the look of your videos. All the best.
so for an "Cheap" GoPro as an DashCam which Version should Someone get ? :D Especially if its sole Purpose is to be installed as an dashcam :D thanks for the video !
Hey Peter ! Thanks for your comments. I used a hero 9 in this video, which worked well but I would also recommend the 10 and 11 too. All three of those cameras have a GPS feature that you can turn on but you can't see when you are driving. You can add it in post if you use the gopro quik app to edit. I'm not sure if this is a feature you would use , but it's a cool option to have if you want to see what speeds you were travelling. They removed this feature from the 12 to save on battery life, reduce over heating and as the thought it wasn't being used much. You can pick up one of these older cameras on Amazon for around 400-500$ AUD. Hope this helps .
I just bought an inexpensive action cam (GP knockoff) for this reason. Mine has the ability to invert the image in the camcorder. Also, it has a remote module to start and stop recording. I'm waiting for a suction mount from the big A. I want it only for my twice yearly drives to Florida and back from Pennsylvania. If I learn anything, I'll return here to post.
Hey @bill9989 ! Thanks for your comment. After I made the video I realised it was easy to change the orientation so the image was the correct way up on playback on my laptop. The remote sounds like a good idea. You can also start and stop recording on the Gopro using voice commands and if you install gopro labs you can have the gopro turn on when you start the car, which is handy. All the best with your new dashcam. What brand did u go for ? Also safe travels down to the Sunshine State on I-95. All the best.
@@AdventureTimMedia Thanks Tim. I bought the Akaso Brave 7 LE. I got it for $110. I chose it because it has a bottom screw (the other Akaso's don't have that, so they need a cage) and it's waterproof to 3 feet. My primary purpose is for a dashcsm but hey, it's Florida so I'll no doubt take it in the surf.
Hey @hydra475 . Thanks for your comment. You are correct. The gopro doesn't have a parking monitor option. Once it turns off it is off until you turn it on again. You might need to look at a different option. Red Tiger make very good dashcams and you can find them on Amazon. hope this helps
G'day Tim love your videos is there a way to make it so hindsight doesn't pause or turn off if you don't start recording after a certain period of time using gopro labs? I am using a Gopro hero 12 Black for fishing videos.
Hey @akhecktor! Thanks so much for your comment Sorry I've taken a couple of days to get back to you, but I think I have the solution, If you open the 'QR Control ' App. Swipe across to the Extras page, then use the Feature FourCC box to scroll down to HSTO. Here in the input data box you can enter the number of minutes you want to set for the Hindsight timeout. The default is 15 mins, but if you put in 60, the timeout will be an hour, If you enter 1440 it would be 24 hours. Hope this helps! Thanks again for your kind words - i appreciate your support, mate. Happy fishing! Hope you catch a swag of them.
Hey Jose, thanks for your comment. If you have a gopro hero 5 - 11 it comes with a GPS option that you can then turn on. If you play back your footage in the quik app with GPS enabled you can choose to put these measurements ( ie. Speed, altitide etc ) on your footage. I'm bringing out a video on this topic in a couple of weeks. There are also third party options too but you do have to pay for them. I hope this helps .
If you go to the quik app, and select a piece of gopro footage ( where you have enabled GPS before you started filming) , choose the stickers option from the menu on the bottom of the screen and you will see the GPS options.

Hey @happysnowwhite ! Thanks for your comment ! If you tap on the oblong at the bottom of the rear screen ( it will probably say video ) it will bring up a menu showing all your video options. Scroll to the bottom to where you will find + Create New Preset. The next screen will offer looping as one of your options. Select it, tap on the tick at the top right corner , choose your settings and then hit the tick agsin to confirm. When the next screen appears, scroll to the best option - ie. Motor. And tap the tick again. Hope this helps.
@@AdventureTimMedia wow thank you. Just wondering which stick ir lense is it? when your uber take a shot but not showing stick and the,shot is taken far from the stick? I csn only see their holding hands but not their stick. I have a max lens 2.0, is it this lens or different stick?
Hey @Happy.Snowwhite , thanks for your comment. I think you are referring to the Gopro Max or the Insta 360. With the latter it looks like you aren't holding a selfie stick at all.
Hey @kristyGordon-i1o ! Thanks for your comment. I would check what radio frequency you are using . If it's too close to another station you will get static and other sounds coming through. Try an empty frequency - here in Adelaide I use 107.7 - and hopefully you won't have this issue any more. I hope this helps. All the best.
Hey @motobrewski ! Thanks for your comment. This feature was only introduced on the Hero 12 so unfortunately you can't connect it to a Hero 11 in this way. Cardo should work fine with the Hero 12 though. I have tested a range of Bluetooth devices with it - including cheap products I bought on #Amazon - and haven't had any issues so I'm confident that Cardo would work. One idea for the Hero 11 would be to put it in a media mod, and then connect a wireless mic receiver to it and attach the mic to your bike helmet. I use a Hollyland wireless mic and I reckon this could work. You would have the cost of the extra equipment though. Hope this helps.
Hey Henry, I've had mine on my windscreen in the South Australian sun for the last 8 months and I haven't had an issue. It's still there as good as ever. Thanks for your comment
Hey Melody ! Thankyou so much for your kind words. So stoked you found my little video helpful. Thanks again for your comments. All the best to you ! ( maybe I should apply for a job at best buy ! 😆)
Hey mate, great video. I got the chance to tour the cave in April. The atmosphere is eerie and haunting as if spirits still roam the tunnels. I don’t know if you recall but there was a distinct stench in the communications room. I have no idea why the comments suggest you’re a sympathiser for Japanese war criminals as you stated nothing but facts. Humanity has many dark chapters and we must remember such events.
Hey Rocky, thanks for your comment and your support. I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed it. I think you are definitely right about the ghosts and spirits roaming around down there. There would be 1000s. It was truly hard to comprehend just how things were back then. The stench alone would have been overwhelming. I agree with your last sentence fully. I just wish we as a planet learned from our mistakes, but sadly, we have a terrible habit of repeating them over and over. Thanks again for taking the time to drop me a comment. All the best to you.
Hey @ricnurcis ! You are correct about the bit rate being lower at 9:16. It also only has one lens option at 9:16 - which is wide - and two resolution options - 1080p and 4K. However these settings are normally all you need for instagram reels and tik toks. Superview at 5.3K and 16:9 is slightly different on the Hero 12. - it doesn't capture as much at the top of the screen, i think using 8:7 might do a slightly better job, but your method definitely would work too. Thanks for your comment,
Hey Doc! Thanks for your comment and great question! Both comments will perform the same action ( Gopro Stop Capture and GoPro Stop Recording will also do the same thing) . Hope this helps. All the best.
Hey D, thanks for your connents. The options you mentioned are possible if you put Gopro labs onto your camera. It's a an additional software that's easy to use and greatly broadens your cameras options. I made a video om installing Gopro labs that you might find helpful. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Sqgket7w9A.htmlsi=l9829Snj1zOiZFJ-
Hey @stoneshark89 ! Thanks for your comment. These twisties definitely tasted better than I thought. I loved the cool stuff you could do with the QR code too. thx for watching!
Hey Peter, thanks for your comment. I'm sorry to hear you are having issues here. First of all, do you have the latest update on your gopro ? Sometimes, they sort out any bugs that might have causing issues. Other than that if you tap on the oblong on the rear video screen , then the double arrow icon at the top right, which turns into a plus sign. Tap on it and it will open a new preset screen. Select video or looping. Tap the tick in the top right of the screen. Make your changes. Then once done., Tap on the tick at the top right. It will bring you back to a screen with a list of default names. Scroll to Choose the one you want and tap the tick at the top right. It should return to the normal rear video screen with the new preset name displayed . Let me know how you go. Cheers
I bought this tripod and returned it immediately after a couple of minutes of use. It had two fatal issues - the quick release plate couldn't be rigidly locked, always having some 2 mm play, and the tripod was not compatible with any other accessories of the Go-Quick II system (its quick release plate was too big for other mounts, couldn't be turned to be locked, while other plates were too loose for this tripod and rattled freely).
Hey @Chemnitzer ! Thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with this tripod. This is the only quick release system item I have from ulanzi and so far I've been really happy with it. 2mm of play seems quite a lot and although my plate does have a little bit of movement, I assume to aid in removing it when needed, it always feels secure and locked in. I've had this tripod for over six months now and I can honestly say its still one of my favourite accessories. I appreciate you taking the time to give me your thoughts. All the best.
@@AdventureTimMedia Hello, thanks for the reply. I really do love the concept of the system and this tripod would be a great accessory indeed. I have two other Go-Quick II sets (so called "Basic Set" and an adaptor from Go-Quick II for a GoPro mount) and their plates are absolutely rigid when locked - but, when I examined interchangeability of their components once again, I have to say, Ulanzi has an obvious problem with workmanship and tolerances here. All combinations of the basic set components work perfectly, however when its plate is mounted on the GoPro adaptor, it feels a little bit tight, but can be used with no problems. But when I mount the plate from the GoPro adaptor on any of the three basic set bases, there's always a minimal play - it's a fraction of a millimetre, but it can be felt. I have no idea yet if it presents a real problem, but it clearly shows the Go-Quick II mount requires very strict tolerances, while Ulanzi clearly cannot produce its components precisely enough.
@@Chemnitzer Hey mate, thanks for writing back with those extra details. It sounds like those other Go-Quick sets you mentioned are worth checking out. Did you grab them from Amazon or somewhere else?
I have the same issue. I bought the tripod and the Go Quick 2 1/4 adapter. The adapter is loose in the tripod, and the adapter in the tripod doesn't work at ALL in the mount that the 1/4 came in. Not sure but I'd say that Ulanzi has some fake stuff going around in their name.
Hey Kim, thanks for your comment! Good luck with yoir install. Hope it all goes well for you. I'm really happy with my little unit. It makes driving a mazda even more fun - if that could be possible! lol 😆 all the best.
After installing GoPro Labs, the camera automatically reads all the codes it sees and becomes unmanageable. How can I disable automatic QR code recognition and make the camera an independent device?????????
Hey mate, thanks for your comment. You can remove all the Labs presets by going to the QR Control app, selecting the Extras menu and then choosing !RESET from the Feature Four CC drop down menu. A message will appear on the rear screen telling you to press the shutter button three times to turn off GoPro Labs. I hope this helps.
Scanning this command will wiper all the GoPro Labs settings you have on your camera. If you want to have your GP turn on when it connects to another power source you would then need to rescan that QR code.
Since I have multiple GP cameras 2x H8, 1x H11, & 1x H12, I prefer 1 singular case for all and a few added choice accessories. Depending upon mission, each can serve a differing dedicated functionality! This case is far too small!
Hey @mrjeff2396 ! Thanks for your comment. Woah that's quite a collection you have there! I understand why this item may not be suitable in yr case but thanks for sharing! all the best.
Hey @mukherjeerahul3 ! Thanks for your comment. There's not a lot of difference between these two great cameras but i appreciate your opinion. Thx for watching!
Hey @ubertodt1 ! Thanks for your kind words, mate and thank you for your service. Okinawa is a really wonderful place with so much to see and do. I was only there for a couple of weeks but I was glad I got to see that really impressive aquarium. All the best to you.
😡Is it only me that in the moment I install GoPro labs on my hero 10 I can’t download pictures to my iPhone there is connection but doesn’t work. Happen to me twice now in 2 months different mods…. Wtf is wrong with it???
Hey @ikigaifishing, thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear about your issue. So how were you transferring your photos before ? Was it via the Quik app or direct to photos app on your iPhone?
