How long does GoProHero models last in water environment?

Looks like your GoPros are getting baked. If they’re spending 99% of the time out of the water attached to the board, they’re probably sitting in direct sun cooking most of the session, plus they're black, and then repeatedly getting splash-cooled. Can you cover them with a towel or something when n

Best Action Camera Right Now? Need Recommendations

I’ve been using the DJI Osmo Action 4 and it’s been really solid. Great stabilization, good battery life, and the footage looks clean even on bumpy rides. If you want alternatives, GoPro Hero 12/13 is still strong and the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is great if you care more about image quality than simplici

Timelapse vom ganzen Zyklus

Hab das mit einer GoPro Hero 12 Black gemacht, ist aber nicht ideal. Die GoPro überhitzt bei 4K schnell, weswegen sie eine eigene Kühlung braucht.

First time action camera suggestion?

I owned and used (for at least a month) almost every GoPro between the Hero 3 Black and Hero 12. Also owned DJI Action 2-5Pro and the Insta360 go3S Ace Pro, and Ace Pro 2. You'll notice that I didn't mention the Hero 13. That's because I've switched away from GoPro pretty much entirely because their
