QuestionDoes HERO work as is, or are other items needed?Does the HERO (entry level model) function as it is, or do you need other accessories for it to work? I'd like to give it as a gift, but $130 is about my budget.
Asked 11 years ago by Marathoner.
- Answer Works great out of the box. You don't need anything else to use it. You will find that over time you may want an accessory or two

QuestionDo any of the GoPro Hero cameras have a zoom option?
Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer You cannot zoom; however, when you use the GoPro studio software, which is provided for free on the GoPro website, the software does allow you to zoom in/out, slow/speed up footage. The software is very user friendly. If you have any problems with it, YouTube is loaded with tons of editing guide videos and tutorials.

QuestionWhat kind of issues? Was thinking about one of these for my son.
Asked 11 years ago by Gma.
- Answer None, it records great 1080p 30fps video. I can get around 2 hours and 50 minutes of recording time on mine. Plus, this camera can take a beating depending on how active he is. And it's as simple as it gets when it comes to being user friendly.

Questionrecording soundDoes the camera have audio that we can record our voice with a video that is being recorded?
Asked 10 years ago by Mr.piggy.
- Answer Yes. The videos automatically record all audio. There are (2) doors that come with the camera (these doors protect the back of the camera). One is a solid piece that can be used to waterproof the camera. The other has openings that allows the camera to provide better audio quality, but will not be waterproof. The waterproof door will still record audio, just not with the same quality.

QuestionCan this HERO model send live video via an external transmitter?
Asked 11 years ago by DUHAWK49.
- Answer No. This hero model does not have any live video features. Nor can you see what you are recording. To view recordings you must connect to a computer or pop out the MicroSD card to download the video files for review.

QuestionIs there a PAUSE option, or do you have to STOP and START a new video?
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer GoPro cameras do not allow you to pause video. You have continuous playback. Pushing the shutter button begins and stops recording for that clip. The next time it is pressed it starts a new clip (when imported you will see the video clips are named differently), also the front of the camera will inform you how much video you have left in hours and minutes and the large number will indicate the clips you have saved so far (i.e. 5) Clips are broken down into 13-20 minute segments when imported

QuestionWaterproof with open micro usb plug open in the back?The GoPro has a nice case however how would it be waterproof it has the backside that has the open micro usb port that is just sitting there in the open. I would imagine that it would affect the camera with water coming in through it.
Asked 10 years ago by Tom.
- Answer I took the GoPro Hero on a Kayak trip in FL Everglades. I had the GoPro attached to the kayak in front of me and it got wet often from the paddle. Another time while trying to capture some fish underwater, I had the GoPro video taping and then plunged it underwater to get a video of the fish underwater. I did that twice throughout the trip - it worked fine. Even the audio was picked up with the cool gurgle of the water.

QuestionCan you hook up an external battery pack like the other GoPros
Asked 11 years ago by Boatmike.
- Answer No, you cannot, this unit has an internal non replaceable battery. However with the advertised 2.5 hour run time you may not need to, my initial test have shown that it does run that long. If you do want to charge the unit you could have an external power bank that you would use for charging a cell phone or other electronics and use the included USB style charging cable to charge the camera.

Questionpower cordIs there a power cord available for in car use
Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I should think that any car charger that has the right fitting for the GoPro would charge it up. I use the supplied cord and a phone charger plug in to charge it.

QuestionIf I am just looking for a gopro to take on a trip, is it worth the extra 70$ to buy the hero 3 to have built in wifi or not?
Asked 10 years ago by sdjfal ;djf;al.
- Answer I was in the Everglades with no access to the internet - so I opted instead for the GoPro Hero and bought an extra memory card. It worked fine for my needs. I did plan on downloading my images to a library computer while in FL, but the two large capacity memory cards were enough for me.

Questionwhat's the max capacity of the MicroSD card?I'm quite disappointed that the generic 'microSD card' spec was even listed as a spec without giving any real number to it. But 'MicroSD card with 32 GiB max capacity' is an intelligent specification item to list for this spec, (or whatevery the real # might be).
Asked 10 years ago by Shawn Kovac.
- Answer MicroSD cards go far beyond 32GB as of right now, however, the HERO camera only supports cards up to 32GB
