GoPro's freezing in the cold?

Has this happened to anyone else? Today I was filming with my GoPro in like -15 to -20 degree C weather, and it kept freezing. Like nothing would happen when I pushed the buttons, so I couldn't get any clips. This happened four times, every time I had to go in the lodge and take the battery out for a while, then put it back in. Anyone have similar experiences?

I slows down a fair bit in the cold. I just ride with it in my pocket until i want to shoot something and then pull it out. I never really understand those people who just leave the thing on their head all day. Its just heavy and annoying.

No I had it in a stick mount thing so I could follow and it just froze right up and I couldn't do anything.

My old one used to freeze all the time, and it wouldn't work all day. Try changing the Lithium batteries

a lot of electronics die really quickly in the cold. it has something to due with the lithium batteries
