I have an issue with my GoPro.

When I press record video to test it, its fine and will keep going till I stop it.

However any vibration and the video automatically stops :(

Anyone had this problem and is there a fix?

  • I haven't had that particular issue before but I do find it that its not the easiest thing in the world you use, and can be a bit temperamental.

    At the moment I have a GoPro and a drift HD170, only done a couple of rides with the later but so far I prefer it. If you are interested I've done a little write up about it:

    But back to your point I would contact the distributor as it sounds like there is a fault with it.

    Cheers,

    sounds like a loose connection or bad soldering on the button. I'd send it back to get it checked out.

    what he said.

    Can you start it with vibration too?
