I agree with you. I have a Session, 7 White and an 8. The only reliable one for videos I do on the airplane is the older session. The “newer” ones can’t even keep date/time settings. Or they freeze up or go into file repair despite new SD cards. The 8 overheats in 4K. And using that app is the constant nagging for their paid services. I’m done with them

My GoPro hero 8 Black has a blinking red light, so does my GoPro hero 7 white

They notice, they even ask me about them at the red lights

Ever since they added image stabilization with the H7, they've been amazing. Disappointed they didn't give us a 14 yet. But my 13 is amazing. Unfortunately, we're spoiled now. Watching footage from anything prior to the H7 now excruciating.

Yup. For an action camera it is really unacceptable. You miss the action if the camera freezes all the time. Had these problems with 7,11 and max. Got rid of them. This was my only problem but it was big.

I use the action 4 with the fov boost lens and I love it, but it's wide even without it. The magnetic attaching and detaching is so good and convenient. The interface is fast and intuitive, the stabilization is great and the battery lasts (I bought the base version with 1 battery, with my hero 7 I always had to bring 2 extras with me) My friend has the 12, and the videos are too crisp and colorful for my liking. It has a good stock fov tho.

I've got a go pro 7 from cex, about 4 years ago it was £200. It is the first to have image stabilisation, and the quality is better than I need.  The battery life (as with most go pros) is only 1.5hrs at best, so it's a new battery every stop
