Not Quite There Yet

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2016

This product is almost there. The build and quality are great. I found that the handle compact is a lil too small for the batteri e. They can fit but I had to use a hanger to get th m pit. I also put a drop of adhesive on the gasket that's on the handles bottom and stores SD cards. This gasket isn't secure and can pop out while opening the handle. This isn't a good move while in motion and full of small SD cards. Getting the monopod and the camera in and out of the shoulder mount in rough. The fit it too tight; hopefully the parts will wear together over time. One last design oversight is the fact that the remot and cam ray are fixed meaning that if you mount the camera facing away from you with the remote to you you can't easily do a selfie while accessing the remote. Some sort of swivel mechanism would be hood here.

Looks legitimate. Battery lasts as long as new.

The battery is from November 2016 and I am writing this in March 2023. It has sat in storage for some time. Hopefully it works as intended. 4 stars for selling a battery from 2016.

I will do a test to see how ling it will run for and update my review.
**Update** Battery passed the 104 minute recording mark using 1080p/30fps on a GoPro Hero 4 Silver. Works as good as new.

Same as OEM. Fits perfect and works with no issues.

If you like the performance of the OEM GoPro battery then this will work for you. I don’t really like to use cheap knock off batteries in my electronics. Chances are they are all made in the same factory overseas, but if one leaks I can at least tell go pro that I was using the battery they intended to be used. I have had warranty claims be denied before because I used a knock off battery. That being said these batteries are real ones and the performance is the same as the original battery that came with my GoPro. The price was better than I could find in the stores too. I saved $5 per battery by going through Amazon. So if you like to buy OEM batteries for your GoPro, this is the place I would recommend getting them from.

Worth it but not a great deal

This is totally worth it and needed for GoPro 4. I am just not happy that my GoPro 3 battery doesn't work on the 4. At least all the accessory work but not the battery which is why I gave it 4 stars because I felt this was a waste of money when I spent a fortune on GoPro 3 battery and can't even use it on the GoPro 4

I have a GoPro 4 and the battery doesn’t last long to record my kids playing sports. Buying this battery for backup helps a lot. I couldn’t pass on the price.

Cheapest price for OEM battery!

I don't trust other brands as far as gopro batteries go, I have had a bad experience with other brands so I stick with the OEM (not holding a charge, less battery life, etc). These are a lot cheaper on amazon than buying it elsewhere. I was a bit worried about ordering these batteries online because I know there are alot of fakes on amazon, but these are indeed OEM and packaged how you will get it at the factory. I charged these right up and tested and they work fine. I love the hero4 silver because I can always have extra batteries on hand to film an epic adventure that will last me all day. I have 4 batteries on hand and will probably order 1 more.

Hero 3 battery in Hero 4 packaging..?

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2015

This is a 5-Star review because I am rating the battery, not my experience... I had bought a GoPro Hero 4 Black combo pack which included the GoPro, 32gb micro SD, extra GoPro brand battery, GoPro brand 3-way selfi stick and a GoPro brand head strap. Everything looked perfect when it arrived, until I inspected the included extra battery. Come to find out, it was a battery for a Hero 3, not the Hero 4 which I ordered. This may sound like a common mistake by Amazon or whatnot, but what makes this interesting was the Hero 3 battery was in a SEALED Hero 4 packaging... I know this because Hero 4 battery packaging says on the front "Hero 4 Accessory". But there was a GPH3 battery inside... Didn't make me upset at all, I was actually quite puzzled... Of course, Amazon had the correct battery at my door step the very next day before I could even return the other one. Just thought I would share my story. Great product. A little expensive due to GP brand name, but I would rather use GP accessories:-)
