Hi Tony been filming with my GoPro Hero 8 video really helped to conserve the battery stop shooting in 4k, but I’m having a big problem with the camera getting too hot out in the sun and the battery lasts 5 to 10 minutes and my battery is dead overheated. Do you have any solutions for that? Or maybe another reason why my battery is going dead so fast, or tips on how to keep the camera cool would be great cuz I wear it on the GoPro headband on top of my head. Without any shade
Hey Timothy! Unfortunately I’m having the same issue with mine (both the Hero 7 and Hero 10 that I use). I literally have to put my camera in my cooler for a few minutes before using it again. Try not to keep it running and/or on for too long. I only keep it on while i’m recording (have it set to turn on and start recording automatically when nyou hit the record button, and turn off when you hit it again). I tend to only record when I have a good feeling something is about to happen (see a fish or a wake), or after i hook up to a fish.
Excellent video Tony, going to start bringing out the hero 8 on the solo skiff. This helps out immensely.
Also, learned recently if you coat your lens with Rain-X. You can dip it in and out of the water and the water rolls off the lens.
Thank you for the great feedback Timothy! Rain X sounds like a great idea!
Thank you Tony, love the video. Just got to go pro hero 8, I believe it when they say pictures don’t do them Justice.
Really looking forward to getting videos of my catches now.
Nice! Haha yep its always nice to get video footage!
for light I bought on amazon the Suptig Diving Light. It has high, medium and flashing modes and it comes with a gopro adapter. It is Super bright and it cost only $24.00
I always learn a great deal from your tips & posts, but never as much as from the video instructions. All this time I thought you must have a camera crew along to get such professional shots. Thanks for the great photo tips.
Thank you for the great feedback Richard! Haha, nope it’s just me and a couple of GoPros.
Thank you for the helpful video
No problem Lara!
Good video. I do the same thing, but was a much older GoPro and just the basic GoPro Studio. The pictures don’t come out as nice, but I’m just pulling the screen shots as mentioned. My camera is setup a similar distance, but lower and angled up and I have to learn to make sure it’s either angled up enough or my pants and bunched up to much. I now use my phone and the app to make sure my shot is framed where I want it before recording.
Good stuff Ryan! I try to limit how much I have my phone out on the water. I’ve yet to drop it overboard (knock on wood) and its very easy to do on a kayak or paddleboard. I put the camera in the same spot every time, and you kinda get used to how much it will capture and where you should be in relation to the camera. Also helps that it captures a very wide shot.
I’ve got a couple of those heavy duty zip lock pouches that are made for phones. They’re better than the Walmart ones so I trust them a but more. I pretty much just frame the shot, but still have my phone for keeping track of the time and incase someone needs to reach me. I keep it in my center hatch for an extra layer of protection.
As always, awesome tips Tony, now I just need to do some shopping!
Thanks Paul!
I like you review and suggestions. Good job Tony. By the way, glad to see that you actually do have eyes. (All I have ever seen before was sunglasses!) Smile!
Haha thanks Rudy!
