The GoPro is very versatile and can be mounted anywhere to get those desired angles

It has been a while now. I had a lot of time to use this camera and get to know it. I can't say all the times I've had with the GoPro Hero 4 Silver were good, but not all were bad either. I have taken my GoPro on multiple trips and it has been great for recording those moments you just don't want to forget. This past summer I went on a sailing trip with my friends. We had a blast. This was a 2-week long trip and my camera suddenly turned off on the second day. I thought it might of been the battery, but after replacing it nothing at changed. I was worried that i got water into it somehow. I was scared because the camera I bought with my own money(I'm 16 so I don't work) I saved up over the years and the item I wanted so badly had failed me. I didn't know what to do or how to break the news to my parents. Not to mention that I didn't get to record anything from the trip. I had so much planned as well. The moment I got home, I called GoPro customer support and after about 5 min. I took a sigh of relief. They told me not to worry and follow a couple of steps. After a certain procedure they told me that I got a faulty camera and they will get that replaced for me. I got a RMA # and got the camera sent off. I had to pay for the shipping so they offered me a GoPro mount or accessory in return. I waited a week and a half and got a new camera with a spare battery and the mount a chose. A couple of weeks had passed and on my next sailing trip I noticed that something was not quite right with the sound. After some experimenting, I noticed that I had another faulty GoPro that had the helicopter noise when Wifi was on. I was devastated. I called GoPro straightaway and once again I was told not to worry and that they will get my camera replaced. I got another camera, accessory and replacement camera. The moral of this story is that this camera is no where near as durable and solid as it is said to be(or I am the most unluckiest man ever), but on the other hand the GoPro customer service is spot on.
