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

It’s a good size, compact and fast charging. I like the video quality, don’t like that it doesn’t have interchangeable batteries.

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

Diminutive, easy to use action camera

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.

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

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.

Eveything seemed to work on this open box purchase but the equipment didn't come with the original manual or instructions. Overall, though, happy with it!

Battery tends to be dying faster the more I used it. Not as easy to use as it looked. Gonna see if I can exchange it or something.
