Gopro Hero 12 Creator Edition | UNBOXING & SETUP 

howdy from texas

Thanks I appreciate that! Best wishes to you

Glad it was helpful!

Epic! Enjoy your camera and lens mod

Thanks! Appreciate that

Thanks!! Did you end up getting one?

haha I got you dude. Let me know any other questions you have and I'm happy to make a video or help out

Coming soon!

You're correct it pretty much is a Hero 11 with updated software/firmware. But then again that's what the Hero 11 was to the Hero 10. Just minor updates. I'm guessing the Hero 13 or 14 will have the improved hardware like more processing power or a new sensor.

actually the hero 11 had a larger sensor compared to the 10, and the same cpu. The 12 has the same sensor as the 11, and no GPS. The only other differences are the new folding fingers and the max lens 2.0 which could work also on the 11 if they wanted to update its firmware.@@kai__larsen

Great to hear!

Thank you 🙌🏼

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hey there! You are absolutely right. If you have the media mod that comes in the creator edition attached it is not waterproof. BUT it's super easy to take it on/off just like how I show in the video. If you put the regular door back on then its all set to go underwater 👍🏼

My pleasure 😊

@@kai__larsen So happy

Totally depends on the application. But I would say if you’re talking and teaching I’d set it to 5.3K 24fps in narrow or wide field of view depending on how much of your classroom you want to be seen. I’d also invest in a good shot gun mic or wireless mic if you plan on using it to make educational videos or record classes for students who miss out

You do have to have the battery in the camera but the volta extension adds extra battery life to it. And yes the media mod can be adjusted to record audio front and back

Not wanting to snap things off my new kit...I handled everything like a new baby...having the same problem, I realized the camera mount on the Volta "tripod" twists 360 degrees...have a go at that!

I realized this same thing and thought it was backwards. I was confused at first but a light amount of pressure will let you rotate it however you want to have buttons facing toward or away from you

Thanks 🙌🏼

Thanks man

Oh no, I had mine backwards and got it stuck the other day but just had to shimmy it a little bit. It should slide in and out smoothly. I wonder what’s going on with your light

@@kai__larsen i managed to take it off and put it back on again, "shimmy" worked :) thank you.

Thanks so much

Premiere Pro & Davinci Resolve is what I use for editing

Hey thanks! The audio sounds a little bit funny in this video because I accidentally had it set to the back microphones but I was talking to the front ones. I actually have a video coming out soon where I show a comparison of different ways to get good audio on the gopro. I would suggest whatever your budget allows. The media mod does get better audio than just the plain GoPro and I’m satisfied with that if need be. But if you have the budget I would suggest getting a wireless microphone like the rode wireless go or wireless pro And the Volta mount doesn’t work as a gimbal due to it not having any axis with motors but the built in stabilization works as a gimbal instead

​@@kai__larsen I too am wondering if the Rode external mic would be a decent investment? That is...would the audio quality be much of an improvement? Thanks, Kai. (Subbed to your channel here, too...)

That's a great question. Cloud storage is very reliable, I haven't seen or heard anything to convince me otherwise. And no Gopro does not own your files. Although I would guess that if you cancel your subscription they give you X amount of time to download them before they clear it off their server or you can no longer access them or upload unless you renew

thank you so much@@kai__larsen

Turn on and plug in your Volta. Then on your gopro swipe down from the top. Go to the furthest right menu screen and select the "Pair Device" icon. That should connect the bluetooth trigger. It took me a minute to figure this out also. I should've included it in the video

I just got mine today! Please share your setting. I am super excited

Hey there , I’m currently using premiere pro but this can be done with almost any advanced editing software and even some intermediate

@@kai__larsen Thank you for responding ✊🏼

Hey Dave! Apologies for the late response, I think the hero 12 is great. Insta360 did just release their new action cam the ace pro. I’d maybe check that out too! I wish I could review one. As far as microphones go I would suggest a rode wireless mic like the go2 or pro series. As well as a directional mic from rode.

I think the GoPro 12 and the Pocket 2 have some differences that are hard to compare. But I would say the Hero 12 is a good upgrade in quality and features as well as usability. As long as you’re okay with a bigger setup because from what I remember the pocket 2 is a lot smaller haha

@@kai__larsen true. The Osmo is smaller but once you put the all in one add on to it and a tripod. It’s not much different ;) I also don’t care for how delicate the Osmo is. Makes me nervous.

@@talkingwithcars yeah the hero 12 is definitely not delicate. My old hero 7 got dropped off a 40ft cliff when I was rock climbing and barely got a scratch. Plus the built in stabilization on the hero 12 is so great you really don’t need a pocket stabilizer

Absolutely it is

there's definetly going to be an image quality drop and audio since I'm using a $6,000 camera and mic setup for the main shots and the GoPro is only $600. Definitely have their use cases but for someone who doesn't have the budget for a similar setup or want to carry it around I think it does well for the price

You’ll be waiting years then you will never get dslr quality out of a action camera

@@likaboss302 well, I smashed my GoPro 8 a couple of days ago… and now I have a GoPro 12. 😂

@@BigfootRunning 😂😂😂 well it should do ya good!

@@likaboss302 so far I’m liking it. Waiting on a mini screw driver to open the broken gopro8 up, see if there’s anything obvious that I can repair, worth a try. The 12 is nice though, image stabilisation is noticeably better than the 8, 5.3k is also nice 😎👍

Camera's are the exact same yes, the creator edition just includes extra accessories for those looking to get the most out of their Hero 12 like better audio quality with the media mod, battery life & bluetooth control with the Volta, & the light mod for filming/vlogging at night.

@@kai__larsen thankyou so much man..that was great help ❤️

@@m.bk05 I got you! Thanks for asking the question. I should've stated the difference in my video

@@kai__larsen no problem dude :) I am a new creator aswell, we learn with time. Glad you responded on time ❤️

I believe so yes

100% I’ve been loving it so far. I’m starting to dive into overlanding videos and installation tutorials and sometimes record 30 minutes at a time and then I go inside connect to WiFi , upload over night and the next day I have another 128gb of sd storage without taking up space on a hard drive

It has one included on the media mod

100% , I love my wireless mics

Yes you do need some extra mounts. GoPro makes some great accessories for biking and actually has a section on there website for bikers!

Enjoy it!

@@aalsmeerdiary you plug it in 😂

By “creator” I mean like filming product videography for e-commerce?

Volta? It's not waterproof so don't go swimming with it but I'd say it's okay for in the rain or snow

thank you@@kai__larsen

I’ll start working on a video asap! 🙌🏼 should be able to do that in 2-3 weeks max after I shoot on it more

As a beginner with a GO Pro - I'm interested in the various setting, and so I subbed and will check out all of your content. Appreciate!

I don’t believe so , it’s a manufactures warranty so they’re usually already active

@@kai__larsen Thank you

100%

Sandisk memory cards are the most used, I also like Delkin Black SD cards, they're a little more pricey but have a lifetime warranty

No problem with it on my iPhone. Sound is great.

Hmmm everyone else has seemed to hear it just fine. I just watched the video and it sounds good to me. I was using one of the best wireless mics you can get on the market for this video

Dude , I can’t read what you typed…you need a bigger font

This guys an idiot for sure it sounds fine

I can hear it?
