Ahhhhh yes,,,, I've had similar problems with a rifle mounted camera.
Easy fix,,,,,, (if possible,,, I'm not familiar with the model) but if you can run/power the unit from an external battery pack via a lead, you can put it alongside the rifle or in your pocket.
In other words isolate the battery/s from the recoil. The recoil bounces the batteries in their mounted position thus causing momentary loss of power.
Although only for the briefest moment,,,, it is enough for the unit to shut down.
So if you took it back to the store, it would test AOK,,,, unless it is rated for such recoil in which case the store/distributor would have to rectify things.
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
