Built GoPro Tough
By Connie Parks on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2016
Does the refurbished GoPro Hero 4 Silver look like a brand new action camera, YES. Does it function like a brand new action camera, YES. Let me provide a better analysis. I mounted the camera to a Traxxas Aton quadcopter. About 100 feet up the quadcopter had a battery failure and started to return home. The transmitter was indicating no bars on the quadcopter battery. Which was very odd, since a minute before I had a fully charged battery. With 30 feet to go before landing, the motors cut off and the quadcopter along with the GoPro fell to the ground. A very dreadful ending to the quadcopter. Landing gear broke, 2 axis gimbal was in pieces and according to footage on the GoPro it went tumbling down the road around 8 feet from the crash site. When I looked at the GoPro I was amazed. The lens was pointing to the sky and when I picked it up, there was some dirt on the action camera, but no marks. Cleaned the camera up and conducted some tests on it. Videos and photo's were tack sharp and it functioned like it was never involved in a quadcopter crash. Wow, I'm sold and I just bought another GoPro....

Save your money, not really refurbished
By sam on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2016
Would not recommend purchasing from this seller. It is clearly not a certified refurbished camera. There was dirt, dust, and a pine needle inside the box on my GoPro when I opened it up. There were also small particles of dirt on the GoPro itself as well as the lens being dirty. Furthermore, after some use I continually got an SD ERR message. It was baffling. I am a very technologically savvy person and it took reflashing the entire camera as well as performing a wipe of the sd card from a Linux computer to allow any videos or pictures to be recorded. I lost countless videos and pictures because I did not realize that the GoPro was not recording. I will be contacting Amazon once I am home to see if I can return this and get either a new one or another refurbished model because for a "certified refurbished" model this is ridiculous. I would understand if this was a cheap Xiaomi Yi action camera or something similar but as this was a very large purchase I expected much more especially from both GoPro and Amazon. Unfortunately I will need to purchase another GoPro because I do drone photography and aerial video and my gimbal is only made for a GoPro otherwise I would stay away from the brand after this experience. In conclusion, I would highly recommend just getting another camera if you can or if you need a GoPro don't waste your time with a "refurbished" model, just buy a new one to attempt to mitigate these issues.
