The only topic of REAL MATTER:  The HELICOPTER NOISE issue!!! And the unbelievable barefaced way GoPro treats their customers, trying to ignore or deny facts that are proven since more than a year and in videos thousands of times!!! There even is no reply at all anymore, neither from the "support" (which simply closes the cases!), nor from the MODs here! Many many more affected customers with exactly the same experiences can be found in YouTube comments, other forums etc. - the way we are treated is absolutely unacceptable!!!

Hi all, thanks for doing this

[danielr15]

I am wondering where you see the support hub in the future? Is the goal to keep it solely focused on trouble shooting, or to open it up to more social sharing?

@Anonymous - I can't speak to your specific case, but we do address every concern that is raised to us by our customers. If there is an issue with interference beyond what would be expected, then we are happy to provide a replacement camera that is functioning as is expected.

Typically, if a customer is still experiencing interference issues, it is usually either an environmental issue such as the housing, networking devices, nearby cell towers, etc., or is a byproduct of a specific usage case. An example of these usage cases may be when someone is looking for the best audio quality (with the usage of Wi-Fi) in a low-volume environments. One solution in these cases would be to use an external microphone.

Sorry you've had such an issue with this. It's hard to address specific user cases on a public forum, but if you want to PM me the details of your cases, I'll be glad to follow up with our team.

Thanks,

Jeff

A common issue that seems to come up for people is problems with their SD cards. Do you think one of the reasons might be that since GoPro Studio and the GoPro Desktop App will delete all media from the card after transferring media, people are no longer reformatting their cards in the camera? Since their is no media on the card, there is no reason to, "delete all/format"
