Some times I hate gopros!

Well my bars gopro didnt like being in a waterproof case and it started overheating , which Im told is a ting! So I took it out of the cas and a car spat a stone at me and it hit the rear screen and cracked it FUCK!
Its a small crack so Im going to put a screen protector over it allthoug I wished I had one on in the first place! The rear screen is quite vunerable when the camera on the bars is facing the ride !

I have 2 GoPros and the 1 I use most is cracked, I have a OSMO Action and both screens are cracked. They all crack, but I do like my OSMO better. My lens cover cracked on the OSMO and it screws off so easy to replace.

I had that happen on my GoPro Hero 6, I did exactly what you are saying and put a tempered screen thing on it, still works fine now, a couple of years after doing it!

The cameras do get hot, the 7 I think even more so, I think it is why so many folk still rate the Hero 5 session, as it has no rear screen, so is a bit tougher

This happened on the NC500 with my GoPro session... Lens cover smashed, luckily didn't scratch the lens itself. Luckily got a decent gorilla glass replacement screen and is just a matter of unscrewing the 12 or so screws.

I never used to rate aftermarket protection (keep it clean guys) but after spending a good chunk on the intiail purchase of cameras, memory cards etc, I am slowly coming round to the idea.

If you hate GoPros - try a gitup G3 (or any gitup branded) camera and soon you'll love gopros again.


To be clear whatever you do - do NOT buy a gitup camera.

Hahaha that seems straight forward consumer advice there.

There was something about the claims of the gitup stuff that I just couldn't get on side with for the price mark.

Don't start me...

I wish GoPro would make a Hero 9 Session. They desperately need an updated Session camera.
