Works great, best action cam
Customer Rating
4.0
Best action cam there is. I wish the screen were a bit more responsive. It's hard to scroll and use the on-screen commands with larger hands, and the touchscreen is not super sensitive.
The camera works pretty well unless in extreme brightness. Not great for low-light video under any settings, but I doubt that's what anyone is in for this for.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Professional Videography Review
Customer Rating
1.0
I purchased this after returning my first one.
Major flaws. First, it does not stay straight, so it's not good for a professional environment. Both units experienced this project within a day, despite tricks and customer support attempts to improve.
Next problem is the battery life. It's awful. And batteries are not removable. The life also varies greatly from use to use. And takes quite a while to charge.
Third problem is that it charges the camera by default and can not be disabled. You have to take your camera out to prevent this. Just wastes battery because the GoPro has removable/replacable batteries. Why would I want the handle using its charge on the GoPro.
Next issue is that the buttons do not always work. The camera does not always respond to button commands. This was tested with two grips and three new cameras. All with the latest update.
Finally, there is not pan, and to tilt, you have to do it manually.

Slower than expected
Customer Rating
3.0
Nice, sturdy construction, but the transfer rate for large files was much slower than I expected for USB 3.0. Compared to other similar drives, even from the same manufacturer, the transfer speeds were much slower. I used this to install an OS and it was getting USB 2.0 speeds on the USB 3.0 port. Two other flash drives worked fine.

Died on me in 2 weeks
Customer Rating

I used this as a backup drive and it died within two weeks. The return process was painful. I ended up paying extra to swap it out because they were out of this color and had a different color in the store. I was told they all had different attributes, which is not true. same drive, different color. I would never recommend this to anyone who is a serious professional.

These hurt my ears, which are normal sized by all accounts. I switched back to the older soundsport version and have had no problems since. The earpieces are designed differently and it shows.

I just needed a drive to toss around and carry some nonessential files on, and this was the best bang for the buck. I would not recommend it for editing or archival. Did not have option for best buy/geek squad warranty.

It's stupid fast. Best sself powered external I've owned because of the file transfer rates. Thunderbolt was a pain in the butt to set up on my dual boot mpb for windows, and customer support is extremely limited.

Can you dismantle the case and use it as an internal hard drive?
I would like to use the hard drive for my PS4's internal storage. Will this just have a laptop hard drive inside?
It will have a hdd in the enclosure, but will have to be formatted to match the PS4's HDD. So search forums for a guide before you gut it.
