It seemed more like a "these used to be pretty much flawless and now have occasional issues you may want to be aware of" tier situation than "they're worthless, never buy that brand again". </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21277#post-367317 Wed, 29 Mar 2023 12:38:10 +0000 Dave 367317@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got a Hero 8 which is just over two years old now. I have had to replace batteries (but I was using it for at least an hour a day, and sometimes for many hours) but otherwise I'm quite pleased with it. I deliberately went for a GoPro because I had reliability issues with the cheaper brands.</p> <p>I did briefly try an Insta360 but almost immediately had charging issues with it.</p> <p>I guess, make sure you use it plenty when you get the replacement as it feels like these things die quite early on if they are going to die at all? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21277#post-367312 Tue, 28 Mar 2023 20:40:36 +0000 SRD 367312@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>anyone had a bad experience with new Gopro?</p> <p>I got mr srd a go pro hero mini 11 towards the end of last year. have used it a bit but not a lot. </p> <p>it stopped working after being used on Saturday. just bricked. </p> <p>customer service a bit of a faff but seems like they'll sort it. </p> <p>Just curious about other people's experience? as I've never heard anything particularly negative about them, other than cost. </p>
