I assume your GoPro is under warranty. The "recently" here means less than a year, right?

Yes,
It was under warranty.

I Wanted to clear that even without gopro service centers in India,

You will get the good services from gopro.[emoji4]

Thanks for clarifying. Most US based companies offer this service under International warranty. Good that they acknowledged it for replacement. I'm more concerned when the product is out of warranty as how they deal with service.

I had recently brought my gopro hero 3+ black edition from USA, which was brought by my brother from eBay in USA .

It worked wonderful for more than 4 months, as I using it for different purpose like drone and for my motorcycle.

Suddenly after sometime, the USB port started giving problem. Which was not charging...

Then sent an email to the gopro support regarding my problem. Exchanged some mails regarding trouble shooting and tips. Finally nothing worked.

After every unsuccessful attempt, finally I asked them that I live in India, but we don't have any service centre here.

They replied saying that not to worry we will replace your camera. And sent me RMA. Label

Now I Have sent my camera to them for free of cost, which is in Singapore.

And yesterday received a mail saying that I will receiving the new camera in next 3 to 5 working days...

That's good. Hope you will receive it soon. I asked because it's nowhere specified in amazon.in about service or in their web(i hope so)

Thanks.

SJ cam series. You can check the different between this and gopro hero. Cost difference will be around 3-4k. Gopro is about 12.5k. The fish eye view of gopro is great. Otherwise both are same. Sjcam series cant be guaranteed as there r many local makes....on ebay

Check redline website

Re: Action Cameras for Bikers

Was looking at the price differences of GoPro Hero 4 Black on Amazon US vs Amazon India/Flipkart. Here it is 33% more expensive (500 USD/33K vs 43K in India). Why is it so expensive? Also, the price difference seems to be around 10K for any of their products. We get fleeced on everything...

Welcome to India :P

May be because we dont have any authorised ealer here and all the originals needs to be shipped here first.

Panasonic launches full HD, waterproof, wearable camera at Rs 19,990 - IBNLive

**jbm_guy** · 12-17-2015, 10:20 AM

Re: Action Cameras for Bikers

That's one more collection. 120fps at 480p seems a good feature but nevertheless the cost is still sky high

Action camera and helmet mount

Hi. I live in Bangalore. I own RTR 160 HE refresh (Dec 2010). My helmet for now is Steelbird Bieffe SB1.
I need suggestions to buy a cheap action camera. I mainly need it to take photographs. On my recent trip to Wayanad I thoroughly missed the gadget as I came across breathtaking views one after another in TN tea estates.
I have looked at some and find Polaroid Cube to be good enough for my needs and fits my pocket. Anything cheaper than 8100 INR with good photography features?

I am a noob at action cameras, I cant understand how taking pics works. Is it an auto mode where one pic is clicked every, say, 30 secs? Or do I have to manually press the button on the cam to take the pic? Isn't clicking the button everytime unsafe?

TIA

Madhav
