GoPro Camera Deal (I don't work there - this isn't spam)
They are currently running a sale - 100 bucks off online orders two day shipping on two different models of the Hero including the Hero 8 black which brings the price down to $299. Free shipping.
I'm about to bite the bullet and order one. After watching Bruno's vids it's pretty clear they work rather well. |

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. Richard www.craggyaero.com |

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. |

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.

Heard GOPro may be filing for chapter 11 DC Well, lets see... Stock used to be at $86.97 per share, it closed at $2.58 today. They just laid off 20% of their workforce (Again). They've lost almost $500M over the last 4 years. Their products have essentially become commodity items but they seem to still believe they can charge premium prices. On the plus side they have done an excellent job of reducing OpEx over last 4 years so the news isn't all bad. They just announced a global strategy shift to direct sales instead of retail sales. That may also be a decent move since no one purchases this sort of electronics in a retail store any more. It will be interesting to see how this plays out as a case study but no way in hell I'd spend a thin dime with them - either as a consumer of their products or as an investor - until things stabilize a bit. |

GoPro Camera Deal (I don't work there - this isn't spam)
I bought a new hero 8 just last week with the good deal going on.
I really like the camera and the user interface. Takes amazing pictures and also great video. However just sitting on my desk, it overheats in 20 minutes and shuts down. As much as I like it I will likely return it because of the overheating and shutdown issues. Before it shuts down it gets so hot you can barely hold it in your hand without burning your skin, kinda crazy I am shocked how warm it gets. |

I guess it works better if you are surfing? Or a wing mount in wave soaring?
