Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product to use for all my filming needs! Small but efficient!

This is a great motion camera to learn with. Great app support. Auto upload feature is nice.

Battery life was not what I needed . Would work great for basic needs

It was the perfect gift for my little brother that loves to fish and do other out door activities

The GoPro Hero camera is a very good action camera that does all the basics. It’s amazingly compact yet still has a pretty full feature set. The device is simple in layout. Two rubberized buttons (power and shutter), the cover for the USB charging port and microSD card slot, and the lens cover, which is replaceable if damaged. There are no external inputs for things like a microphone, so you’ll have to use the internal mics. The battery, rated for 60 minutes at maximum quality usage, is non-removable as well. The chassis is rugged though, and is good underwater to a depth of 16 feet. On the bottom you’ll find the fold out mounts compatible with a seemingly endless number of accessories, and on the back you’ll find a decent LCD touchscreen. You can also do voice controls (toggleable on/off), so you can command it with “GoPro…” for hands free operation. It worked pretty well in my usage. The camera is fairly basic: you get stills at 12MP, 4K video at 30fps, or 2.7K slo mo. No time lapse or burst modes or anything of that nature. It keeps it simple, but for some it may be too simple. Image stabilization is very good, but here’s the wrinkle–it’s not done on camera, but in the GoPro Quik app, so that means you have to import them into the app for IS. While the image stabilization is excellent, I’d overall rate the camera quality as good but not great. Speaking of the app, it’s overall a pretty good experience for importing video and doing quick edits. It’s a bit pushy for signing up for a subscription service, however, which can be annoying. Setup via the app was straightforward, though not without its difficulties: the pairing process repeatedly failed and would not connect. After several tries it finally worked and allowed me to update the camera and use it. Who is this best for? I think given its size and simplicity, it’s an excellent “starter” action camera to get into the GoPro ecosystem. This could be either a very casual user or perhaps for one’s children who might have an interest in using such a camera. And given its size–you can fit it easily in a lot of pockets–it’s very portable. I will be traveling internationally soon and this will definitely be going with me.

Not bad, much better than the 11 mini, but auto stabilization only works once you upload it to the app.

Was working perfectly fine then after only 3 months won’t charge

Limited features for an entry level camera. But, it does great, for what I need it to do. Video stabilization in software post, is pretty neat. Definitely satisfied.

Ehh not battery last about an hour before it dies not really worth the money

Honestly just pay a couple more dollars and buy a newer version or different model of GoPro this one is just horrible. Two reasons why are because the battery life is just horrible only last about an hour and a half and the camera quality is just as bad please don’t waste your money on this productz

My grandchildren are thrilled with their GoPro cameras. I only gave 4 stars because the accessories are too expensive.

Let's see. It takes a long time to download footage and to stabilize it to the point where you can use or view it. Won't work without using the app. Requires an SD card which you wouldn't know if you don't read the fine script on the box beforehand. For the cost, there's probably a better alternative.

Love this GoPro.amazing features built in battery. Going to use for backpacking. Can’t wait.

It was terrible. The camera wouldn't hold a charge and then I had to have the receipt emailed to me. I have never once had a good experience with Best buy. Maybe that 400$ gift card would change that?

We have a fishing kid in the family that has his own Youtube channel and this was the perfect gift for him!

Delivered on time but unfortunately stolen, im very unlucky :(

Fast shipping, this is for my 9 year old. Wish it came with a memory card and case, but will buy as extras.

Awesome product! Daughter wanted it for Christmas and was excited to find it under the tree!!

Excellent customer service and I was so glad that I could get what I needed all in one place.

My son loves it. We uses it attached to his rc car and it's gives an amazing perspective.
