A:AnswerYes, the HERO5 Black has a rear screen that will let you see what's being recorded. If you mount the GoPro in a spot where it's hard to see the rear screen (like on your head), you can also pair the GoPro to your phone using the GoPro app. That way, you can also see what the GoPro is recording live on your phone.
A:Answeryou can live stream Gopro videos but you have to use an app called periscope and it requires you to use cellular data and not wifi which adds up to a lot of data really quick.
A:AnswerThe HERO5 does shoot in 4K and it does have a looping feature, which is a great feature to have in a dashcam. Definitely one you should look at.
A:AnswerThe HERO5 shoots in 4K, which is a higher resolution than many phones. Also, it's easy to mount on nearby equipment to get the angle you're looking for, and it can be controlled by voice commands.
A:AnswerYou would need to use the GoPro Mic Adapter to connect a stereo jack to the HERO5. That would be an input feed though, not an output. For output, you'd want to use the HDMI port.
A:AnswerYou can download GoPro apps for iOS, Android and Windows 10 from the GoPro app store. GoPro 5 is also connectable via WiFi to your phone. Through the apps you can manage the photos and videos to download on your phone. However, we would recommend iCloud or Google Drive account to upload your movies and videos. From the cloud you can easily share your media to any Social Media platform.
A:AnswerIf the same issue happened with two different cameras, you'll want to take a look at how you're charging the camera. It could be an issue with the USB-C cable you're using, but it's probably more likely that the issue is with the charging block or the actual power supply. Try charging the camera by connecting it to your computer. If you have an iPhone, the charging block for the phone will work as well.
Also, it could be that the camera's battery is just very low. In those cases, it can take a while for the camera to have enough stored power to even power the indicator lights. Leave the camera plugged in and charging and see if it is getting power after an hour or so in that case.
A:AnswerGoPro and iPad can be used together. However, recording videos for youTube depends upon the type of videos he wants to record. If he wants to record nature and outdoors action? Then this camera is great. However, if he wants to record his "own" videos then we would recommend using iPad only; as GoPro is a wide angle camera. Even its "narrow" field is much wider than normal cameras. So, he will get a lot of wide angle background if he wants to record his own videos unless he is outdoors and would like to capture a lot of scenery or action around him.
A:AnswerYes, the camera can be powered externally while it is recording. Note though that while the USB power cable is connected, the camera will not be fully waterproof, so you'll want to make sure the camera stays dry while power is connected.
A:AnswerIt depends how you are charging your GoPro. If you are charging via TV's USB outlet; it is slow to charge. However, if you are charging via electrical outlet; you should be okay.
