Not a Hero 6 the six has only been out for a year. Earlier models had to be in a waterproof case, the Hero 6 and new Hero 7 are fully water proof. Also have improved image stabilization. I think the water proofing is probably behind the overheating issue. Just a guess.Got some Chinese cheapo/knockoff on Amazon for $35 that is an exact replacement and an entire box of every accessory ever made for $12. That thing has worked flawlessly for years.
