What happened to the gopro app11/26/2022 I was trying to figure out why they would not replace the camera. I was feeling pretty frustrated about this and figured I would give it a day or two before contacting GoPro again to see if I can work with them to replace the camera. A nice gesture, but I just want to replace the 360 camera! LOL. Perhaps I did not install it correctly? There is always a chance but it sure worked fine the day before. Helmet mounts are only good for a short amount of time? First I have heard of it. After several times of him checking in with other representatives, he told me that helmet mounts are only good for a few days and that it is possible I did not mount it correctly. Definitely not the “no questions asked” advertised. He asked me to explain the entire situation and how I mounted the helmet mount. The representative from GoPro let me know that they will replace a broken camera, but not a lost GoPro. I am sure I am not the only person who has a lost GoPro completely due to a failed mount. I felt some relief! As I got home to Denver, I called up GoPro to explain to them what happened. Plus, I remembered I purchased the “GoPro PLUS” service that will replace up to 2 cameras. GoPro helmet mount failure – no longer on helmetīummed, more so that I lost the footage of my friend and me than losing the camera. if all looks good, then go to the mountains and shred!Īfter using the GoPro Max on the selfie stick, I went with the freshly applied helmet mount for some different shots.test the mount with camera in it, checking for any gaps or issues.apply the 3M adhesive mount to the clean helmet.clean the helmet with alcohol and water.all of these are done indoors, in a moderate temp climate (70 degrees).The general steps I take when applying a sticky helmet mount are this: I have been doing so for years and have never had an issue with one falling off. I am no stranger to using helmet mounts for action cameras. I hope that helps someone out there! My Second GoPro Failure – Assuming GoPro would replace a lost camera So, make sure you set up the GoPro with this feature, and you should have your footage saved. Make sure the “Auto Mode” is on and has a blue dot. It is silly easy to use and I have relied on it for the last year or so. In the Insta360 app, the user can start and stop the editing to dial in the angles and key points. It works pretty well, but it can also have some disadvantages.I am used to and probably spoiled by, using the Insta360 app for making 360 edits. Overcapture is a neat tool to edit the 360 footage, right on your phone. The Osmo Action can be modded out to use with a good wireless lavalier mic, like the Rode Wireless Go, so you can really run-and-gun interview or vlog. I believe there will be for the GoPro Hero 8, but it does not appear to be available. Although there is no modification for external microphones, at the time of this write-up. Plus, you can use if for vlogging much like the Osmo Action camera. So, having the touchscreen on the MAX was a big deal for me. But, we are skiing and riding in the backcountry, and I try to keep my phone in airplane mode and as far away from the avalanche beacon as possible. They can hook up to your cell phone and you can monitor it that way. Often, I am in the mountains shooting footage and trying to figure out what mode the other cameras are in is a challenge. I have used other 360 cameras like the Insta360 ONE and Insta360 ONE X and this was the feature I wish they had. Being able to see what mode you are in, see what you are shooting and review the footage all in one place is pretty awesome. To me, this was the main advantage of this 360 camera. It looks like great footage! I have it mounted on the Insta360 selfie stick to get this angle.
