GoPro Tips Tricks Q & A

Point the camera downward more than you think. Check to see that the lens is splash free when you turn it on. Select the one touch recording.

I will have mine tomorrow as well. Just don't do like I did the first time I used it, leave it on in between sessions too long. The battery burns kind of fast...

exactly. and when turning it on/off, DONT accidentally get into the settings menus and mess everything up like I did. I came home and had 150 pictures of my face as I was trying to figure the settings out again!

I don't think I left it on. This happened before. Does the battery drain when not in use for a few weeks. Seems odd.

What resolution do most of you use? Obviously, higher resolution means you have less recording time and battery life. Is 1080 really necessary? How many of you use 960 or 720?

I have mine on the highest, r5! I have a 32gb memory so never runs out. You can find the 32gb memories for ~$35 on www.slickdeals.net

Also, mine has been foggin up on me lately, that shouldn't be an issue if yours is brand new, for some reason the older they get, the more they fog up...

Can't wait for your Hali vids...
