Agreed. I have a Hero 10 Black and basically every time I go to use it I wind up wanting to hurl it into the sun by the time I'm done. My wife bought it for me as a birthday present a couple of years ago because I asked for one specifically (I didn't know any better, apparently) so it would probably be rude to do so, though.
It overheats, it randomly shuts off, it routinely experiences a firmware crash that renders all of its buttons inoperable and requires pulling the battery to cure. Oh, and it also has a battery life best measured in seconds so you need to keep it plugged in to external power all the time which requires an aftermarket accessory. Brilliant.
With any luck mine will get taken out in some spectacular and marketable fashion, preferably while recording at top quality so I can post it and use the video revenue to buy an Insta Ace or something.
Cries in Hero 7.
I can't even plug mine into my PC and use it as a 4k webcam :/
