I am brand new to GoPro Hero 13. It overheated when I was charging my battery. I am planning to use it to record 3 to 4 minutes sport from one place on tripod and one or two 9 minute ones.

Since its prone to overheating (from what I read), I am wondering if I buy

1. Volta

2. USB Pass thru door

A. Can I completely bypass the battery and record directly off the Volta battery

B. Can I place the Volta on top of another tall tripod? Do I need any adapter to connect Volta with standard tripod?If GoPro itself makes such a tripod, can someone please link me to it.

I'm unable to update to 2.44. I tried everything inclucing reset to factory setting, reset network, reinstall app and so on. I even tried the manual method thru., a micro SDC. If I try the app route im unable to pair the phone to gopro it dosn't connect as the pair button is greyed out. If I try manual route with a SDC the gopro keeps rebooting several times. I tried it for 30 minutes and the camera rebooted 6 times. At the current version it's working fine except the pairing to Iphone

I've been planning on using a GoPro MAX2 to capture b-roll footage during events so I don't have to think too hard in the moment about framing a shot, capturing stuff that I didn't notice in the moment, etc. Kdenlive has a VR360 Effects collection that lets you easily crop down to a normal field of view, so I had high hopes for this workflow.

The problem I'm encountering is that the .360 video files the GoPro is recording to the SD card seem to include imagery from only one lens, and the footage has some vertical stitching issues in a few places. It does also write a .LRV file that has fisheye views from both lenses side-by-side, but they are pretty low resolution (1408x704). Do I have some setting on the GoPro wrong for the kind of footage I want?

When I take still images in 360 mode, I get .JPG files that contain data from both lenses, and software designed to open photo spheres handles those just fine. So I don't think it's a hardware issue.

Here are some screenshots of what I see when I open the SD card on my computer.

EDIT: I just noticed that the .360 file contains a second video track that's a narrow view of the second lens' view. I will experiment to see if I can get those two tracks merged easily.

Did the ship date just push out by a month? I thought it was 25 Oct originally ? Is this affecting all orders or did those who placed an order still receiving in Oct?

So far I am loving this camera (Mission 1 Pro). I take it out for water sports mainly and snowboarding. But I also have the camera grip for some daily filming (mainly just to get myself more familiar with it rather than having actual needs).

There are numerous firmware updates which added and fixed a lot of things which I am happy with (I can understand how GoPro company is struggling and they did launch with a premature firmware. I’m ok with it).

Right now I want to request for a few small things to make this camera even more perfect:

1. Auto brightness toggle in quick settings. I don’t want to dig into the menu tree or use QR codes with labs.

2. For Orientation quick toggle, add an upside down orientation lock (for helmet mounting etc)

3. Add an option to let me turn off screen with the side button instead of changing mode. This is helpful in some situations.

That’s it. I don’t think it’s a lot. If any of you feel the same please upvote so hopefully the good people at GoPro may listen.

Thanks. Happy shooting.

I was given a Hero Pro and a dog harness so I can get action video of my dog. I can’t figure out how to get the orientation I need. I want to shoot 4:3 ratio in portrait/vertical mode.

Every time I open the orientation settings in the app or on the GoPro, I can choose “all” or “locked.” All of the online guides say to press “all” to get a list of the orientations. Mine doesn’t work. Can someone please help?
