Default GoPro Camera Deal (I don't work there - this isn't spam)

I don't have one and don't intend to buy one (got other expensive toys
in the pipeline), but I was really impressed with a recently linked
soaring video.Â* So impressed that I checked out how he did it.

He used a Gopro Fusion 360 degree camera.Â* I think they've got a special
going on right now.

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.

Are there other models of GoPro camera that you would recommend instead?
