I had an early go pro, it died, and I tried a couple of other cameras. The vision 3 pro by dragon touch has worked great! basically the same underwater housing used by a lot of cameras, I have had no problems down to 100 feet. I have changed batteries between dives to be sure I have power, but I have never run out of battery power, so no complaints. For the price, I feel very satified.

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.

So far so good, I’ve only used them once so far.

Fatto il regalo a mio moroso. È rimasto molto intusiasta e contento. L'abbiamo usata dentro l'acqua e diciamo che fa il suo lavoro. Consiglio l'acquisto anche se dobbiamo ancora usarla in diverse situazioni per poter fare una ricensione dettagliata.

It has good xfer speed. Reliable. Handy. But, as far as portability goes, all HDDs are risky. Portability means the risk of dropping/bumping/jarring. SSDs are not as fragile. But then again, you'll never find an SSD this large. I've found some advertised, but they're junk. Gotta be careful.One pet peeve I have about software makers in general, is that they all assume you'll just install whatever you give them without any thought. But, I need to know a lot of pre-purchase/installation info. This drive came with some software. But, there was no about it with it. I had no idea what it was for, what it did, the license agreement, or why I should even be interested in it. I just deleted it without any thought. It works fine as a plain-ol-drive.
