Introduction
The GoPro Hero has been a fan-favorite for extreme sports enthusiasts for many years. Its durable armor has made it a top choice for filming high-intensity activities. But today, we want to see how strong the GoPro Hero is on its own. We will be testing it in three extreme situations – dropping it naked from a normal height, from a great height and hitting it with a golf ball. We will be providing an in-depth review of each test and its results.
Can the GoPro Hero withstand being dropped from a normal height?
In our first test, we dropped the GoPro Hero naked from a normal height. Surprisingly, the camera landed perfectly fine and continued to record. There was no damage to the device, and it continued to function perfectly. We were surprised by how resilient the GoPro Hero was in this instance.
How well does the GoPro Hero handle falls from a great height?
In our second test, we dropped the GoPro Hero from a height of 15 feet. The camera managed to capture the fall and record the footage just fine. Although we were worried about how it would handle the drop, the camera held up well. The footage wasn’t the smoothest, but the camera sustained no damage from the fall.
Can the GoPro Hero survive being hit by a golf ball?
In the final test, we wanted to simulate a situation where the GoPro Hero might accidentally hit an object while filming in extreme conditions. We hit the GoPro Hero with a 9-iron golf club, which completely shattered the camera. We were unable to find some of its pieces, but fortunately, the SD card was still intact. We were surprised at how much damage a simple golf club could inflict on the GoPro Hero’s body.
Conclusion
After our extensive testing, we can confidently say that the GoPro Hero is a tough camera. Despite being dropped naked from a normal height and great height, the camera continued to function without any damages. However, it’s clear that the Hero’s body does have limits. A simple golf club was enough to shatter the camera. Whether you are a professional athlete or just an extreme sports enthusiast, it’s essential to keep in mind that the GoPro Hero will perform well under normal circumstances. Still, it’s best to approach extreme situations with caution.
At the end of the day, the GoPro Hero is an impressive piece of technology. It can withstand more than we previously thought. So, if you are looking to capture your extreme activities and want a camera that can survive it all, the GoPro Hero is definitely worth the investment.
