life is to turn off the GPS and wireless connections, and disable the voice command system when not in use since this drains the battery even when the camera is off. Many reviewers have said interactions with GoPro are problematic, and recommend purchasing the camera and accessories from Amazon, whose customer support is known for its excellent responsiveness. Watch YouTube videos on how to set up your GoPro when you first accept delivery, to avoid the difficulties many buyers have with such things as the plastic portal covers and water tightness. For faster transfer speeds than the included cable provides, buy a USB C to USB C cable. Finally, be sure to film at 2200 resolution or less for superior stabilization performance.
