Thanks for your feedback - I'm surprised that no one else has commented on this. It's honest feedback like this that's important in making purchase decisions. I've decided to wait a bit to see if GoPro can fix this with a f/w update. Cheers.
You're welcome! And I need to make an update video because they tried to help sort it out with me and ended up shipping me a whole new camera AND battery at no charge, so customer service for the win! The new camera hasn't had as much battery drain, although it still doesn't have the ability to record while charging (although it will record while plugged in if the battery is removed *I think*), and I did have to buy a new wireless mic that doesn't use a c-type Bluetooth receiver, to work with the Hero12. The one that will work for a mic has to be plugged into the MIC jack on the media mod. Hope that helps!

@@MilesAwaywithUs Thanks, this has been useful information. Cheers.
it can be charged while recording
Unfortunately no it can't. It can record while plugged into a power source with the battery pulled though.
@@MilesAwaywithUs It just dosent show on the battery but it charges
and wireless mics work too
Not if they're a c-type adapter. I did buy one that plugs into the mic jac and that works.
@@MilesAwaywithUs I can use bluethooth mics like headpones
