    The camera is small, lightweight and easy to use. There are only three options, slow Mo video and photo. I was able to place it on a gimbal easily and achieve super stable footage. The battery lasts about an hour. Less features than a regular GoPro, but if you want a good camera that you can shoot 4K video on then you’ll be fine with this one.

    The best one

    If you’re the type of person who’s always moving — skating one day, biking the next, hiking on weekends, chilling with friends at night — the GoPro is exactly what you need. I do everything, and this little camera keeps up with all of it. Whether I’m flying down a hill on my board, jumping into the lake, or just messing around making edits for TikTok, the footage looks crazy good. The stabilization is wild — it makes my videos look like they were shot with a whole crew. And yeah, it’s waterproof, durable, and fits right in my pocket. Zero stress, just press record and go live life. The best part? It’s made me actually live more. Every time I leave the house with my GoPro, I’m looking for moments to capture — and now I’ve got memories on video that I’ll keep forever. If you’re active, creative, or just someone who doesn’t want to miss the best parts of life… this is the one. No cap — best thing I’ve ever bought.

    I bought this item for a Christmas present and my wife loves it. She is excited to use it on her upcoming ski trips. She got it all set up which was rather easy to do. Small unit and very sleek. Cannot wait to see the results from her trips.

    recently purchased the GoPro HERO Action Camera Black, and it has exceeded all my expectations. The build quality is outstanding-rugged, waterproof, and designed for all kinds of adventures. The video quality is simply amazing, offering crisp 4K resolution with vibrant colors and excellent stabilization, even in the most dynamic settings. The camera is incredibly easy to use, with a user-friendly touchscreen interface and intuitive controls. I also appreciate the wide range of accessories available, which make it versatile for any activity, from biking to snorkeling. Battery life is decent, though recommend carrying a spare if you plan on shooting extensively. The connectivity features, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, allow seamless transfers to my smartphone, making it convenient to edit and share content on the go. Overall, the GoPro HERO Action Camera Black is a fantastic investment for anyone who loves capturing high-quality footage of their adventures. Highly recommended!

    It's quick and easy to use. Don't forget the SD card, and it just starts up and goes! I only wish the battery lasted a bit longer—or at least could be removed for extended use.

    It's okay.The only positive thing is its weight and size other than that.Everything kind of goes downhill.Low light photography is pathetic.Battery.Life is unpredictable.Sometimes it is twenty five percent from twenty five percent directly is goes 20.And the camera refuses to switch on, yeah, and that's about it.So far, I have not faced any heating issues

    The GoPro HERO4K is a tough little camera that captures crisp 4K video. It's great for adventures, travel, or action shots. The image quality is impressive, and it's super easy to carry. While it doesn’t have the best stabilization, it’s still a solid, reliable camera for everyday filming needs.

    This camera is ideal for everyday, carry-around, budget-friendly people who dont really need 4k or 8k quality for videos. Ive gotten great results from 2.7k 60fps and the battery is enough for me. Rechargeable and built-in battery is what you need to be mindful of. If you need to use it for long periods of time, either get a 2nd camera or get a differnet GoPro. Everything works almost exactly like the top of the line models.

    its a go pro, you pay for what you get. i got this for my helmet when i rip on my supersport. the stabilizer is insane and the quality is insane. make sure you buy the double battery charger pack with it. it kills the battery a little after a hour.

    This is the smallest camera we own and we love it. It’s easy to use, not very noticeable when trying to film and not be watched by others. My boyfriend likes to use it for when he rides his motorcycle or when he’s hunting.
