Revised on 2023-03-19
I own a GoPro Hero 9 Black, a GoPro Hero 8 Black, two GoPro Hero 7 Blacks, and two GoPro Hero 5 Blacks. I've had GoPros overheat hundreds of times, but out of 6 that I own they all work fine when they cool back down. The 7s run 24/7 in 4K loop mode to capture video of idiots that pull in front of the truck. They've been on for most of the past 3 years. I run the 9 in 4K TimeWarp x10 while I'm driving. I run the 8 in 4K TimeWarp x30 and 4K 4 second Nightlapse while driving, and 10 second 4K Nightlapse while parked. Those are all mounted somewhere on windshield. I occasionally mount one or both of the 5s on the outside of the truck in a dive case with an external drive battery. I used to use them as windshield cameras. I use various apps to control them all from inside the truck. I drive mostly in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, and I hope to get a dedicated run from Houston to Phoenix and back soon. I've also used them mounted on my Jeep Wrangler off-road.

I use a metal ball mount to mount the 9 to the windshield of a Kenworth T680. I capture full-day TimeWarp videos. I can unclip the entire assemble from the GoPro stick-on mount and put it back exactly where it was. I use an app to measure the angle of a flat surface in the truck, then set the top of the camera at the same angle, so that it's parallel to the truck's cab. I mount the camera low on the windshield so that it doesn't obstruct my view. I can barely see it over the top dash panel. Other combinations of mount won't let me do that. The other windshield cameras are along the top with straight mounts.

How to get a GoPro to run 16+ hours a day, even in summer: I use a USB cable to power the GoPro without a battery installed, so that it runs cooler. I have the A/C set to blow cool air out the defrost vents. I have a fan blowing air across the windshield. I park with the camera out of the sun when I can. So far the 9 hasn't overheated while driving, but it's not summer yet.

GoPro HERO8 Black
This is HERO8 Black—the most versatile, unshakable HERO camera ever. A streamlined design makes it more pocketable than ever, and swapping mounts takes just seconds, thanks to built-in folding fingers. And with the optional Media Mod, you get ultimate expandability to add more lighting, pro audio and even another screen. There’s also game-changing HyperSmooth 2.0 stabilization with jaw-dropping slo-mo.

Streamlined DesignThe reimagined shape is more pocketable, and folding fingers at the base let you swap mounts quickly. A new side door makes changing batteries even faster, and the lens is now 2x more impact resistant. (1) |
HyperSmooth 2.0Smooth just got smoother. Now HERO8 Black has three levels of stabilization—On, High and Boost— so you can pick the best option for whatever you do.
