Perfect for racing drones
|Posted .This is my first action camera and I love it. The voice activation is convenient, although I do need to hit the lower button first to get it "listening" to me. It is still better than a record button since it allows me to activate it, prior to plugging in the battery to the quad, then starting recording by voice. The picture quality in 1080/90 is great. Anything above that has too slow of a frame rate and the video quality suffers. I do wish there was something higher than 90 fps. Regardless, this camera fits my needs with near perfection and is rock solid. I have bashed this camera a number of times and had it fly off the quad a couple times because the impact was so great that it ripped the strap. The Session has shaken it all off with the exception of a broken lens glass. For $19 I consider it a minor issue and surprising that it wasn't far more damage. I would certainly buy this again if I had the need to do so.

Easy to use
|Posted .I picked this up for a trip to Jamaica. It took a bit of getting used to but I eventually figured it out. The pictures and video were great although my finger was in a few pics from when I pressed the button. I think it would've been better to go with the option with a screen so you have an idea of what your picture includes, but eventually you will get the gist of it. All in all I'm quite satisfied with my go pro as I was able to get some nice shots in and out of the water. I added a couple pics I took using the go pro

The best go pro for me
|Posted .This is my second go pro. The first popped off my hat while I was playing a good brown trout. I had to make a choice between the trout and the go pro. The trout seemed the better choice at the time. Yeah, the trout came unpinned after a while, so I lost both. I hope someone downstream on the Big Hole River, got some good float video when they retrieved it. Anyway, this is much better. Mounted on the bill of my hat, it doesn’t feel awkward up there. And I already have some great footage of tarpon in the air. This is about as perfect a go pro as I could want.

Great cameras
|Posted .I have purchased gopros since the time they were released. Everyone of them still works like new. They have proven to be the most durable cameras I have that take amazing quality video. The Session 5 is absolutely my goto camera at this point. It shoots excellent video and fits my racing drone perfectly.

Excellent video camera for active people
|Posted .Works great, under any tough condition. Very stable video - in the air while parasailing or flying on a zip-line, in the water while scuba diving or snorkeling, or riding a horse. Note that it's not easy to set it up and get accustomed to using it as well as the apps. But once you do, it works fine.

Perfect!
|Posted .This camera takes amazing video. The size is so small I’m afraid of losing it. I don’t know how thy packed so much quality into such a small packege. The smart phone connectivity is a huge plus too!

Go pro goes loco
|Posted .My go pro experience has not been the greatest maybe bad luck on my end who knows. So this was go pro # 4 for me in less then a year I actually gave them all names . thank goodness for extended warranty best buy your awsome and great staff too so helpful.. first one "go pro" would freeze until dies so took it back got upgrade #2 (go bro) black screen stopped working took back upgraded again #3 ( go ho) would freeze stuck on tell battery died stopped turning on so upgraded to go pro hero session 5 (go lo) it worked 3 times tell it started freezing while turned on. I am able to reset and power down sometimes, love the pics, love the small size love it when it works thinking the flaw is not being able to remove battery, or I have lousy luck with cameras..

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between the hero5 and the hero5 session?
Asked by IMR.
- A:Answer According to Best Buy's own comparison chart, and GoPro's website, MiltonMan12 is incorrect. His differences are true for the Hero 5 and Hero Session, but not for the Hero 5 Session, which is what the question was about. Supposedly, according to Best Buy and GoPro, the Hero 5 and Hero 5 Session both have image stabilization and the video quality is the same.
