GoPro Hero 4

I just realized that I forgot to post about my GoPro Hero 4!

HERO4 Silver

I recently purchased mine from Best Buy. (NOT A SPONSORED POST...I wish)
I thought it would take a week to be delivered, but instead I was greatly surprised when it came four days later. Thanks Best Buy. Because I had already owned the GoPro Hero 3, and generously gave it to my cousin, it was a no brainer to get the new one. However, after some consideration, I started to doubt if I should buy a new one or to repurchase an old one. The reasons behind it was mainly due to the new screen. 

With the addition of a new screen, it meant more parts to be broken. Once I got the product, I didn't even use the screen. I made it my first objective to have the screen off at all times. I really liked the idea of self capturing and not knowing what you would playback. Although the 3 and 4 are the exact same size, for some reason, I feel like the 4's are bigger. I also purchased a monopod/tripod mount from Ebay (for 88 cents!), so I would be able to mount it to my selfie stick. 

*Side note* I am a BestBuy rewards member, when I went to checkout and used a gift card, I was not rewarded points for my entire purchase. Just for the amount minus the gift card; which I thought was very odd, considering I did the same thing at Ulta and they rewarded me all my points. 

I am super excited to use my GoPro next month when I set sail on my first Carnival cruise to Progreso and Cozumel, Mexico. For my first GoPro, I purchased an additional case. The reason being, I hated popping on and off the backing to switch from waterproof to non. I knew after constant switching, I would end up breaking the thing. As of yet, I haven't purchased an additional case yet. I am hoping to find one for a great price, or just to deal with the lower sound quality due to the waterproof case.
