Summary

Unboxed a GoPro HERO13, objecting that the separate Media Mod made it feel much larger than his GoPro 7. Setup was frustrating—difficult battery access and no SD card prevented the required update, recording, and testing. He deemed it unsuitable for livestreaming, repacked it, and planned an Amazon return, calling the purchase a waste of time.

Insight

The unboxing reinforces recurring buyer’s remorse and rapid rejection when technology fails his immediate use case.
