I'm about to bite the bullet and order one. After watching Bruno's vids it's pretty clear they work rather well.

But the camera shuts down when taking videos. Mine shuts down in approximately 1/2 hour when it gets hot sitting on my desk. Works great until it gets hot.

Google shutdowns when hot before purchasing.

Gopro blames aftermarket batteries and memory.

I've used a JVC HD camera with five different kinds of SD and never had a problem. It's never overheated or shut down and I've run it for 15-17 hours or more.

Guess I'll stick with my JVC for the time being.

Mine overheated I purchased direct from GOPRO.
