Wonderful! I have watched six videos, so far, in an attempt to find out how to take the thing apart safely. In spite of the fact that they said "unboxing" none of the gave clear instructions. Your clear explanation means that I don't have to go back to the shop. Many thanks.

[@tylerdurden506]

Hi, how is your GoPro doing now, is it worth buying?

[@CarliciaPereira]

sudheer V K it’s doing good, but sometimes it freezes, I was mostly using it in really cold countries so I thought that was the issue, and later I realized it also happens in warm countries. I would say like 2 times out of 10. The quick fixing I do is to remove the battery on and off, a little annoying since I have to remove the handle stick and the case to do this, sometimes making miss good shots. Or did I just got a defective GoPro? :/
