If you want to get burned after each use, buy this camera. I used this camera less than 10 times, each time the camera was hot to the touch. It was sometimey on charging. It would charge one time, then not the next, went back and forth with this issue. I drove 10 minutes with the camera rolling it was extremely hot when trying to cut the camera off.

I have been on the fence about getting a new GoPro for a long time now. I love the functionality of the high end models, but the price is restrictive for me based on the fact that I would not use it daily. The new HERO camera is perfect for me in this scenario! The price point is excellent, and it still films 4K video, which is very impressive. It is very small and easy to throw in my backpack, and clip onto my helmet to gather some cool footage when I go for a ride, or even to use when riding to work to have record of any accidents that may happen. There are definitely some tradeoffs on this model and I will go over those below, but they should not deter you from snagging this compact 4K camera to use for your adventures!
Pros:
- Price.
- 4K Video Quality.
- Portable size.
- Lightweight
Cons:
- No removable battery.
- No physical image stabilization, it is all done in the app.
- Limited options on Slow Motion videos.
Overall if you are a casual user and just want to get into the POV camera scene, the HERO is a fantastic option for you. If you want all the bells and whistles though, opt to spend about double and get the Hero 13!

I recently tried out the GoPro HERO Action Camera, and I’ve got to say, it’s been really great for all the outdoor stuff I do. The camera is super small and light, so I can carry it around easily or attach it to my gear. It’s also waterproof up to 33 feet, which makes it perfect for swimming or hiking in bad weather
The best part is the 4K video quality—it looks amazing. The videos come out clear, and the HyperSmooth stabilization keeps everything steady, even when I’m moving fast, like when I’m biking or skiing. It also takes 12MP photos, which look good enough for sharing online
Another cool feature is the voice control. I don’t have to stop and press buttons—I can just tell it to start recording, which is super handy when my hands are busy.
The battery lasts for about an hour when recording in 4K, which works for most of the things I do. It charges with a USB-C, so it’s easy to plug in when I need to recharge.
I also love the GoPro Quik app. It makes editing my videos really easy. I can cut clips, grab photos from videos, and even make quick highlight reels. Plus, I can upload my videos wirelessly to my phone or the cloud without needing any cables
There are a couple of things that could be better, like the battery not being swappable, but for the price, this camera does a fantastic job. If you want a tough, easy-to-use action camera with awesome video quality, the GoPro HERO is a solid choice.

Used only a couple times, now it won't function properly at all. I will never buy a GoPro product again. GoPro was not subjected to any rough handling or even water. Just died sitting waiting to be used again.

This device has a very cool idea behind it, but when put to the test, it couldnt handle it. Wifi connectivity issues, content issues, and just an overall bad app experience made this a terrible purchase for me. Gopro, you lost my respect.
Product shouldn’t require and update off the shelf

Yery disappointed in this camera. I’ve been on
2 really important trips and was not able to use the camera at all. For some reason it will not stay connected es long enough to complete the update and therefore without the update the camera is just useless. I will be going to try and get a refund today.

Product is not the best to work with, recording a video or taking a simple photo has never been more difficult, trying to set it up was tedious and I wanted to take it back the same day I purchased it. Will continue to try it out, hopefully will serve its purpose:(

Camera constantly freezes. No matter which SD card i have tried from the "recommended list" it will never format correctly. Have to soft reset and then erase camera from Quick App constantly. Hot Garbage DO NOT BUY.

I want to start off by saying this is the 1st GoPro product that I have had, so I can’t really compare it to another product. But as my review title states, good things come in small packages. I never thought the HERO would be this small, and when I first received the package I thought this must really be crammed in there, but its just that small, but don’t let the size fool you.
I received this and my youngest son is an avid trout fisherman to the point he and his friends will hike/bike for miles to go to lakes or streams that most people won’t due to the fact that its so far off the beaten path. He had been shopping for an action camera to record his trips in & out and also to record his fishing experience. He had purchased a rig to use his cellphone but he said it was too bulky and was more cumbersome than helpful. He did purchase an aftermarket “carrier” off of the internet and unfortunately on his first trip it didn’t attach properly and the HERO fell off as he was biking in, the camera was not damaged but filming of his trip was not very pleasant to say the least.
What he likes about this GoPro HERO is again the size of it, it is super small but it records video crystal clear, he purchased an extreme rated memory card that was 256 gb and it was recognized by the camera and formatted immediately. He downloaded the GoPro Quick app and it paired to his phone w/ in minutes and after setting up his account he was recording. He plans to start a blog on one of the video channels on the internet to allow others to see the trips that they take and the detail of this camera. I was shocked of the clarity and the quality of the videos. The Quick app makes quick work of downloading video a breeze, GoPro really has this well thought out and makes the process super easy.
It comes w/ limited attachments, a power cord to charge it, which we did and again the entire process from unboxing to filming is simple and not time consuming. This is a well built camera for outdoor enthusiasts and people that are into recreation that take life to the edge and want to record it. He has used it only a handful of times to this point but I can see many uses for this camera.
If you are in the market for an action camera to record “living on the edge” this GoPro HERO is highly recommended.
