    I love this brand but unfortuantely mine just lasted after a one-time use underwater. I understand these are things that happen, is not under anyone’s control, it was just sad

    Was very disappointed. Should have ordered from the go pro website and not Best Buy. My camera would not work. Called tech support and apparently it needed new updates. Got it for my birthday and spent 3 hours on the phone on my birthday trying update my camera to the update they said it should had came with. They said they never seen or heard of one like this. What a awful experienced. Wish I never bought a go pro from Best Buy. Feel like I got a off brand broken one. Feeling disappointed

    This has been a good camera, but I have experienced the camera heating up while using and while charging. It has heated up to the point where it was too hot to hold.

    I bought the GoPro 8 and then realized that the lens is no longer replaceable. I returned the 8 and bought the 7 and I'm very happy now.

    Maybe I just don’t know how to operate it. The operation of the unit itself is easy and fun. Getting the videos editing and playing back not so fun. Most images ended up choppy integrated. Waterproof housing did not hold much weight. It is currently now broken. Go with the extra housing don’t trust the stock.
