I am Know Hero.

One of my personal passions for quite a few years now has been action cameras, and part of my knowledge sharing has been as a community leader for one of GoPro’s largest and most active user communities (thus the large amount of GoPro related content posted here). The name “KnowHero” came about from a user making the frustrated comment they they were struggling with learning how to use a GoPro camera, and while GoPro’s slogan “Be a Hero” was on the box, they were “No Hero.” I’ve always responded to comments like this with the idea that we all start somewhere, and sometimes all you need is for someone to explain something in an understandable way before it actually make sense and can be done yourself. However, many users I’ve found are frustrated because they’ve found a guide that’s more interested in pushing subscriptions and traffic than answering questions, and I personally can relate to the feeling of frustration when I’m looking for an answer and have to wade through an article FULL of ads, only to find that the proposed solution wasn’t even a knowledgeable one. I wanted to provide a place to get that simplified, straight-forward guidance with REAL answers from things I’ve actually experienced or tested, and thus “KnowHero” was born.

I don’t currently run ads on this site, but I do occasionally add affiliate links to relevant products I reference. If you use these links, I can get a small (a few cents, usually) kickback for referring you to it. It doesn’t cost you anything extra, and this helps offset the costs of running this site, which costs a few hundred dollars each year to host. Authenticity is really important to me, so I only use these affiliate links when it makes sense, and sometimes I write about things that have no affiliate options, which means the article is totally and completely “free” for anyone. I hope that you find this refreshing and genuine, and if you really feel like it, you can always buy me a coffee!
