Great design, but comes with the worst flaws. Overheats, phone app is horrible. I do not recommend, just buy GoPro.

Unbelievably great idea for an action camera but also unbelievably imperfect design. It HEATS UP so quickly and stops functioning. I am a pilot and would like to record cool scenery from my plane. I am not like those bloggers who sit infant of a camera and talk for an hour. My clips are 2-3 or the most 4 minutes long signets. After recording 3-4 of those a message appears on the screen and either says camera needs recording if the pod and mini cam is separated or it says FUNCTIONS STOP DUE TO OVERHEAT and IT WILL CONTINUE WHEN CAMERA COOLS OFF...
Good God! At those moments what should I do? Pull the hand brake and stop the plane while waiting camera to cool off for 10 minutes or so?
Then it becomes useless.
Don't believe battery times given by the manufacturer. It does not even get close to if you want to record in a decent mode that will worth to watch later.
It's like those electric car manufacturers ads that say it goes 350 miles at full charge. But then read the fine print which mentions weather should be 55F, you have to be at sea level, only with the driver in the car and wind has to be blowing from behind you and you need to drive at 50 mph while 50% of the route should be downhill driving...
Then in real world conditions suddenly you realize at 200 miles you are on EMPTY...
This is the same tricky advertisement. If you dim the screen to the max and limit to 5 second viewing, record at lowest resolution possible, only 30 second clips with 5 minute breaks between and at 50F temp then battery may last as the manufacturer claims.
Again, the idea is great but design sucks. I gave 2 stars and taking mine back. 2 Stars because some people may need exactly what this camera capable off even with its limitations and get cool video clips, but also even in that case the price is too steep for this camera with very limited options.

I think this camera is great, but if you're ok with 2.7k resolution instead of 4k, i recommend the go 3, not the go 3s. It's around $150 cheaper and still an amazing camera.
