my newer one constantly stops recording due to something.

For a while they kept putting the same old processor in that couldn’t handle the load. GoPros shutting off due to overheating or recording too long was just normal.

Dunno if it’s still the case. I switched to DJI and you can’t even compare the two. Quality, smart design, price, reliability; these are not GoPro things. I record for an hour plus sometimes and just flawless. Don’t have to think about it.
