The physical buttons on a GoPro are frustrating to use: hold down or continuously press or press once. No thanks.

The software is bad too: WiFi hotspot that disconnects from your usual phone WiFi. Now sync to the app. Nag about a cloud subscription. Now choose photos and sync to your phone gallery. No thanks.

I bike commute with an old Hero 8 on my handlebars, and I never bother controlling or setting it up or anything: just power on, press record (which dismisses the nag dialog to connect it to your phone). That does mean the timestamps are always nonsense, but I am not too worried (I guess if I get run over again the lawyers can argue over if the one video on the card that shows me being run over is in fact from the day in question...)
