how is temperature resistance for this camera? I live at Atacama Desert in Chile and GO PRO always turn off because of Temperature alarm in my Car/.

I have not had this camera long enough to know how temperature resistant this camera is to warmer temperature. I live in the US, and right now it is winter. I can say in temperatures that are just below freezing sometimes the camera thinks it loses it's GPS signal. Shortly after that it read or write to the SD card. It then shouts at you because it loses it's sound volume settings saying the GPS signal is gone and it has SD card errors. I usually just wait a few minutes for the car to warm up before plugging it into power. Other than that I do not have any temperature problems. Or any other problems for that matter. Just below freezing temperatures. But once you get used to the camera it's not really a problem.

I had one that is dual camera (recording front and rear) mounted for over a year with the cold and hot weather/temperature. It still works fine, just remember to get Samsung water, x-ray proof SD card to withstand those temperature. Hope this help.

Have used this videocam at nite as a car dash camera and on my bike. So far have no problems. Better than my obsolete go pro hero I that I have over used for over 2 years. The built-in video screen will give you the answer to your question too.

The cameras have performed well at temperatures into the low teens and single digits. But, during my use of them, they haven't been challenged by temperatures that low. My guess is that there would be no problem, but that's just a guess.

It seems to work OK with my cameras. fwiw I have found that the best 3d effect is in a range of about 3/5 feet to 20/30 feet from the object being filmed. Beyond 60/100 feet the 3d effect while there is not nearly as pronounced and does not add much, for me at least, to the 3d feel. Filming in 3d I have found is very different from filming in 2d, at least if one wants the 3d effect. (This may also be partially accentuated with the Go Pro due to the extremely wide field of vision. I have NOT filmed with other 3d camera set ups, only the Go Pro)

I put a Gopro on mine so it added a little bit more weight. Its also above 105 degrees in Phoenix when I fly and I still get over 10 mins. I have an alarm that goes off when my batts hit 3.7 volts. I would highly recommend buying one. They are inexpensive. I usually get worried about battery life and land it way before pushing it to limit. I don't want it to have it auto land in a far off location and not be able to retrieve. I have a couple of spare batteries so its no big deal to swap them out. A flight lasts long enough so don't worry about it. 10 mins is a longer than you think. Just have some spares and enjoy. It nice to land and take a break anyway. You will love your FC40.

I am living in Southern California... Recently cam working fine above 100F outside. Dont know what was inside my car but it was deadly hot. It is good question 'cos my GPS do not work very well in this sort of heat.

REMEMBER TO CHECK FOR HEATERS!!! if the camera doesn't have built in heaters they can lock up in extremely cold weather!!!!

I live in south Florida, and I remove the camera from the windscreen every time I leave the car so it does not sit exposed to the sun in the closed car. I have had no issues at all with the camera's operation .

Can't answer that in terms of heat load capability. What I can answer is this is a piece of crap. Look elsewhere I unfortunately bought 2 keep researching and look for another dash cam. 10% visibility at night and needs the right conditions and shading for the day. Trust me don't make my mistake.

We had a mild winter here in NW Wisconsin, but my camera worked fine. We were down to 0 degrees with no problems and the same batteries were in it all winter.

The operational temperature of the S80 Pro is 32-100 degrees F--so please do not store it in your car when it is extremely hot or cold. Doing that could damage the sensor or require more frequent calibration.

Living in sunny California, I have no idea what -45F can do to a camera. Around here, +45F is rare. But electronics usually handle cold very well. Rain, sun, and wind are more likely to damage it.

I've been using it for 8 month now. The camera is great. Survived in 100F - 120F daily last 2 month.

I have used this camera to a temp of about -20 degrees F, and it took pics. However, it is not waterproof, do not buy this camera.

we operate in quite warm conditions - up to 108 degrees during the summer months. 8 of the 10 cameras we run are doing ok, although two of the units have now developed a rather fogged image. I'm not sure if it is heat related, but that would be my guess. Under any conditions the mini SD cards are very hot when you remove them from the camera. This has not appeared to have an effect yet on the cards however.

I do not have a Go Pro I use a off brand 1080i Go Pro type camera or a DSLR, but no I have had no issues with either.
