Well, I ordered a go pro on the 29th and it came today. I opened it and everything was there. Except, I thought on their website it said it came with 2 curved and 2 flat mounts but someone else told me that I might get 1 of each. I did. Anyways, I put the battery in and turn it on and am going through the menus when it just freezes. So, I take the battery out and put it back in. Now it wont turn on. I contacted go pro and they will respond in 1-2 days. Any suggestions. Thanks, BlastfromPast69.

do the software update on the go pro website. to get it to turn on, unplug the battery, then put it back in, then connect it to the computer while computer is on, and then hit the power button. updates can be found here:

Put the battery in the right way and plug it into a wall for charging.
Try updating it (it freezes without updates)
If it doesnt connect to your computer, i suggest getting a new computer...
Dont send it back, all they will do is update it and ship it right back to you, then the next update and you will probably have the same problem...
The cameras only come with one of each mount, unless you buy more.
Also, the battery can go in backwards even if you have the strap out... Check it when you put it in
Try charging it for half hour from wall before you do anything else...

You will need a micro SD card... Dont cheap out, get a 16gb or 32gb... (2:30 Minutes of video is 1 gb FYI)
