I returned my GoPro and got a DJI instead. What I disliked about the GoPro was how difficult it was to transfer files from the camera to my Mac. They encourage you to sign up for their subscription, which makes transferring files more complicated than necessary. With DJI, transferring is simple and fast.

[@LogicallyAnswered]

Is that a GoPro issue or a Mac issue hahaha? Saying this as a Mac user lol

I'm not sure I follow. Do Macs have some kind of issue with a MicroSD card? Simply remove MicroSD card from GoPro and insert in Mac.

@@LogicallyAnswered It's a GoPro issue. One of my friends and I use GoPros, and we both use laptops with Microsoft Windows. The GoPros struggle to transfer files. Also, my GoPro constantly overheats and shuts itself off. I wish I would have known about DJI before purchasing my GoPro.

I gave up on GoPro when my GoPro 10 was overheating while I was freezing on a motorbike at -5 degrees trying to record something. I was like this works better as a hand warmer than a camera but way too expensive hand warmer. Their last good camera was 5 black. I still use it and Sessions 5 as a backup but wouldnt even bother wasting my time trying out any of the new models. Got DJI osmo 4 and love it from day 1. Mic connected directly to camera with no expensive adapters, special cases etc and all for reasonable price.

[@denaco]

had hero 7 and 8 but got the 11 mini as it was the first gopro with the 8:7 sensor so can crop 9:16 and 16:9 from the same footage which is great not having to film twice. but the shadows are mushy even during the damn day if you dont use the lowest frame rate and shutter to match. it's a joke of an exposure balance they use in these cams an is way behind dji.

[@oRicardoHetfield]

Man my session 5 was and still is my go to action camera!! All i saw after that was tiny improvements and a lot of problems, all my friends where getting newer gopro models every generation and what i saw was battery problems, overheat, bugs and strait up crashes and turn off and never turn on for hours etc etc... I do Downhill mountain biking and my Session 5 still does good enough footage for instagram videos and since it doesn't have as good stabilization as the newer ones it feels more real life "fast"... battery barely gets through a day of riding nowadays but it's good enough! GOAT!

[@christianjosephvargas328]

Exactly, my Hero 10 also overheated multiple times and is unusable right now. Move to DJI and Insta360 now and never look back again.

[@eScootTalks]

@christianjosephvargas328 That's exactly what I did. I have Osmo 4, getting osmo 5 now too and Insta x4. Gopro 5 black and Sessions 5 are just as a backup. No way I'll get gopro again. Even if I would get it for free.

[@GlennGasner]

I'm someone who bought each years' new gopro for a few generations and then left because they weren't becoming as good as they always should've been. The crowning part that pointed out their incompetence was their awful, unchangeable file naming. I forget the specifics, but it restarted the filenumber at Video0001 over and over, so footage couldn't be unloaded onto other drives without being renamed, or they'd overwrite each other. It was bizarre. I switched to DJI and the filenames are the date and time, so they can always be unloaded and will immediately be in order. It was a sign that no one at gopro was actually using the cameras. Ever. Not for the first 10 gopros at least.

[@jasondashney]

You don't sort your footage into folders? Each session I have just gets sorted into a folder of that particular day. Everything stays nice and separate for me so I've never had that problem. Also, which one restarts the naming convention? My names are very different from Video0001, probably because I use an older GoPro. I find the cameras absolutely incredible and indestructible and so to the people I know who use them, so I'm really surprised to see this much hate coming to them. I don't know about the latest generation though. Mine are from the old style.

I loved my Sony FDR x-3000 I think it was called it was better than the first go pro by far. But the form factor and usability with mounts was the reason go pro become the leader in action cameras.

They came up with some new accessories, but too expensive, and most of all: they never did fix the over heating problem. All the problems they had was solved not by GoPro themselves, but by DJI. Just got the Osmo Action 5 and absolutely loving it. GoPro you let us down by being too greedy.

Very good vid! You should add in how GoPro "stole" tech from Contour that put them out of business. I know a few execs as i was sponsored by them. So i had no choice and got a GoPro6. What a failure that was. Then i splurged and got a new 8 when it came out. What? No detachable lens?! Sorry but they really shot themselfs in the foot. And it was managed by an exec who stole from within. Good job sharing that by the way. If GoPro gave sample units to those in the field like myself i could've pointed out every flaws in a few weeks. From cliffs to lava flows & huge waves & coral reefs i transverse some extreme areas at times. A good test for lighting, reflection & refraction, shock absorption to salt spray clogging the entries (my #1 worry). My Contour3 Black is still going by the way. It was built well. From water reflection to overcast refraction in light to dark backgrounds it's many ways better than a GoPro, but not in everything though. Good Vid:)

I remember buying their earlier cameras which were difficult to use but got better and had great picture quality in daylight. I was excited for the Fusion and started working with it because the footage could also integrate with the editor I use.

I can't believe you didn't mention all of the goddamn GoPro clones! I have had four or five of them because I use them for like shooting videos and other stuff where there's a good possibility they're going to be immediately destroyed (target cam) And they are everything I needed and more there's no way I would pay four or possibly five times as much for a product that is only marginally superior in ways that don't affect its functionality for me at all, especially when it's one wrong move away from taking a rifle bullet

What's the best clone? I have some older GoPro's, but I would pick up a clone in a heartbeat if it was 95% is good for 1/3 the price.

I've found my older GoPro 4 more reliable and than my GoPro 7. Probably last one I will ever purchase

3:00 Sure! Call your product "Karma"... What could go wrong, right?

They've spent all their money on advertising rather than r&d, They cheaped out on the hardware, all they needed to do was focus on software more efficient better CPUs and camera sensors . But they wasted their money.
