Go pro keeps freezing

[Gardenmac]

Bought one of my boys a Go Pro Hero 3 for a tour he's on as an official photographer and he's just rang to say it keeps freezing on him. He's downloaded a couple of fixes and none seem to work anyone got any ideas or had a similar problem?

Are the cards, he's using, fast enough?

Is that in video or time lapse mode? Sent mine back late last year and got it replaced! Pain😭😡

Yeah Wee Dee thanks for the post, he's invested a bit in the cards so top spec, and Paul it is in Vid mode that it freezes. He's on tour at the mo so had to go and buy another go pro ( lower model) and drop off off for him. Not sure how we send the pro 3 back though.

Bummer, though it's good that you were able to ride in with the cavalry.

Good luck.

Thanks mate, it was a bit of a wtf moment as we paid decent money for his go pro 3 and with him being on tour he can't afford to miss certain shots but did through the faulty equipment. Lower model seems to be working but cost us a fair bit for the two cameras.

Go to the GoPro website. Click support and go from there. You will get a reference/case number. Mine turned out to be a nightmare!😡

[Gardenmac]

Thanks mate, I think we are about to enter the nightmare zone with the Go Pro 3.

That has been a problem with the Gopro's in arctic temps. Keeping the batteries and such inside your jacket helps as does using chemical hand warmers in the cooler/storage box when not in use outside.

Thanks Reddog,me thinks the go pro is knackered. I bought a Zippo hand warmer which is awesome. No boiling water simply fill up light and go, mmmm toastie.
