GoPro=Junk ,POC ?

A year or so ago I received a Go Pro hero 3 white as a X mass gift... Been fighting with it ever since. I'm not impressed with this product at all.
Every thing is an extra and add on for more $$$$ The owners manual is only on the 'puter...
The effective range is only around 50 yards, no zoom. The soft were is WAY over my head. Not at all user friendly. Bla, Bla, Blaw. Here in GF there is nothing I want to use with it, so I have to order every thing.
The battery life is only 3 hours and the only way to charge them in in the camera from the computer. There is a charger you can buy from them that works from your car,
And one that works plugged at home, What a pain. IF you have a smart phone you can run the camera remote, I DON'T so I have to use a touch screen on the view screen, which I had to
Buy ... Anyway I made a shotgun mount that I'll try out next weekend. I had one I bought for $40 that sucked. When I would shoot it would kick down from the recoil and would shake from being kinda wimpy.
I made one that WONT give...
I'm going to keep trying. to make it work but only because I have near $400 bucks in to it.
Peace-O-Crap

I had one very similar from Insane Archery out of California, it came with all diff types of mounts, h2o proof case, all camo, HD video.....It was fine for one month and would not play into the TV in HD mode, and right after that would not stay in focus while filming, as if something were on the lens. I tried and tried to contact the owner, Brian from the shop and whom I dealt with, and low and behold no A1 customer service as it was while in the process of buying the crap pile. I kept the mounts and played HR derby with the camera. No more Insane Archery dealing for me ever again.
