It records stuff!
I've purchased my laptop, iPad Pro 11" (2G, Cellular), the fancy iPad Pro cover/keyboard, my laptop, and this GoPro, as open-box or refurbished. Not a single item has been defective in the slightest way and I saved hundreds of dollars so far. No reason to pay full-price for these items.Also, before settling on my current iPad Pro 11", I had other versions, all refurbished, all were just fine (no cosmetic damages or malfunctions), and again, saved a lot of money. I was able to return the items when no longer needed at no cost to me.So don't be a sucker- try buying refurbished items first and if something is wrong, Amazon and other stores have generous return policies.Anyhow, the biggest gripe I have with GoPro is their crappy desktop software. GPS signal reception by these things is incredibly weak...although when using 3rd-party apps, I can see GPS data was encoded in the video, but the GoPro software won't ever display it.The Hero 8 is much improved over the Hero 7 and earlier, but the Hero 9 isn't much more than a, "My male part is bigger than yours". Can't watch 5K video in 5K if your GPU and display don't support it, so what's the point? (yes, I said 5K, because that's what the 9 advertises, IIRC) Also, the larger the resolution, the more space you'll need on your SD card.Anyhow, that's my rant. Go away now.
