I keep my gopro in a drawer out of the sun or anything that could hurt it. I also only use it for races. I shoot at 720p 30fps, not 60. I don't keep the files after I upload to youtube, so 60 is redundant. And I don't know how much it matters but I use the open case, not the waterproof one. It helps to dissipate heat from the battery, though I don't know by how much
