GoPro Hero5 Black: Anyone know what this annoying audio noise is on hero 5 footage

Thu, 09 Aug 2018 19:23:58 -0700

https://youtu.be/L7bxqdG5sGk

Here is a sample video, the noise really kicks in at 10sec in.

NO - it isn't anything rattling on me

NO- it isn't my bike rattling.

The noise doesn't sync with anything the bike is doing or the terrain.

Has anyone else experienced this noise

GoPro Hero5 Black: Camera will not power on without cable plugged in (full battery too)

Wed, 24 May 2017 11:27:17 -0700

I dropped my go pro off a coffee table onto a tile floor while it was recording and fell at most 2 feet, it shut off and wouldn't power back on. I tried new batteries (all which work on my other GoPro Hero 5) and would not power on.

It does power on when I have it plugged in with the USB cord, but turns off immediately after I unplug it.

I'm not particularly tech savvy but I assume the drop knocked something loose in the battery housing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's about 2 weeks old so it's a little frustrating.

Thanks,

Lee

I have not used my GoPro for a couple days. I charged it earlier today and the display screen worked fine. I then inserted the micro SD card in between the SD card holder and the battery and now the screen does not work. I manually updated the GoPro and it still does not work. Do you know what’s wrong or what I can do? Thanks!
