Go Pro Hero 6 Issues

Just a rant.

Bought a Go Pro Hero 6 for the hols (here now) to replace our old camera and take to DC and the water parks as its waterproof.

Couple of days in after doing the lazy river at Discovery Cove it starts to sporadically run through the settings and the screen becomes unresponsive. Missed around half a days experience. Such a shame and lost memories.

Dried it out over night in the garage and it came back to life. However black lines on the screen which thankfully do not affect the recordings.

A little splash around in the pool a few days later and the Go Pro went AWOL again. Drying out in the garage seemed to have sorted it again however more black lines.

Not used it near water since but each day I switch it back on more black lines appear (about 40% of the screen now) however the recordings are ok. With a bit of luck we'll make the end of our hols being able to see what we are recording

Purchased off Amazon, so don't expect any issues in returning it. Shame as the picture clarity and stabilisation at 2.7K@50FPS is fantastic.
