GoPro Hero 8's overheating in direct Colorado sun... help!

1

Had the cameras shut down 20 minutes into the game. Very frustrating as it’s not even that hot yet.

Any recommendations for fans/sunshades?

There are several available on Etsy and Ebay. There are several designs that people have posted here that can be printed. Search the forum, hope you find one that fits your need.

Other things that help:

  • Turn off all settings you do not need
  • Power the GoPros from a USB battery and remove the internal batteries.
  • Use aluminum cages for the GoPros to act as a bit of a heat sync.
