User questions & answers
Question: | Is the ball head removable? I want to change it to a video head |
Answer: | The new HERO has some real differences from the HERO5 Session. Perhaps the most significant are that the new HERO has a rear screen so you can see what you're shooting and what you've shot, and that it has a removable battery. The removable battery means you can swap in a spare if you ever drain the one you're using without needing to charge the camera itself. Some of the key similarities are that both cameras are waterproof without a separate housing, and both take great photos and videos. |
Question: | How sturdy is this tripod? I do astrophotography and shoot planets with large lens and need a sturdy lens. Can this handle that |
Answer: | Yes, you can use the the SuperSuit with the HERO! |
Question: | Where is this made |
Answer: | Hi Michael Noonan,This camera takes a micro SD card up to 32GB. |
Question: | Is the aluminium version any less stable or flexible? I'm not a malnutritioned child, so I'm not concerned with the 3/4 pound weight difference |
Answer: | Hi James,Yes, it has time lapse function, you can set time from 1 second to 1 minute. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is it compatible with the feelworld monitor |
Answer: | There are several ways users who may be visually impaired can use the new HERO. First, the HERO has QuikCapture which allows the user to power on/off and start recording with the push of a single button. You press once for video, or press and hold to take time lapse photos. Second, the HERO has the Voice Command feature that once the camera is on, allows the user to simply say "GoPro take a photo" or "GoPro start recording" and the camera does the rest. Finally, the new HERO can connect to our GoPro app. When used along with a screen reader, the app allows the user to control the settings on the camera, switch between modes, start recording/capturing, play back the recorded videos, and more. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is this compatible with a GoPro |
Answer: | Cheaper maybe a tad heavier |
Question: | How do I order extra quick release connection? The part that goes between the camera(lens) and the monopod |
Answer: | Yes you can |
Question: | Can the bottom thread be mounted to a tripod? (e.g. then you can mount the monopod on a very short but wide tripod to make a tall tripod |
Answer: | Approx. 26 1/2" from end to end. |
Question: | Is the hole in the base at the rubber foot & spike a 3/8 in so I could attach a fold down mini-tripod with a 3/8 in screw |
Answer: | On flat or mostly even ground, you don't. If you want to do any kind of panning you will need to hold it. |
Question: | How does this compare to the carbon fiber version |
Answer: | I have used this monopod for years through multiple NFL and MLB seasons with a Canon EOS 1D body and a 400mm 2.8 lens, the older heavier model, not the newer lighter ones. I have had mine since 2014 and it has only been this year that I have started to wear our the rubber foot. |
Question: | Several reviewers mentioned that you can't pan with one hand using a handle. But since it is a monopod, can I twist the whole tripod around to pan |
Answer: | There is a rubber foot on the monopod, but if you turn the foot clockwise a metal spike is exposed for rough terrain. Counterclockwise and the spike is hidden, but the rubber foot does not screw off. |
Question: | What is the length closed |
Answer: | Yes, get the Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Head Quick Release. Hard to put in words how handy it is with monopod. I have a fancy ballhead but they are near useless on monopod. The 234RC is fairly cheap, allows on and off camera pretty fast and tilts the way you need it. Remember the monopod can also be tilted as needed along with the 234RC and often you can brace yourself against a wall or tree, etc. Ballheads of monopods are useless because the monopod is always moving in two or three axis except when you hold steady for a shot. |
Question: | Do I need to secure the camera with one hand all the time |
Answer: | 61" from the mounting plate to the foot (spike not extended). I used it recently as a walking staff on a a tough hike with 2000 vertical feet of elevation change over very rough terrain. It functioned perfectly as a staff and a monopod. Bullet proof ,IMHO. |
