    My previous GoPro did not have a view screen and this one is great. More than just a view screen. As are GoPro-s, small, light, and great images.

    Just purchased this for my son for Christmas. I’m hoping this will be a good starter camera. With so many different GoPro cameras to choose from, I selected this one for a first time user. My son really wanted a GoPro for Christmas however, reviews on GoPros are not great. I’m hoping this will be a good choice for a beginner, and it doesn’t break the bank. I haven’t used it yet, so the verdict is still out on how well it works.

    I have the Silver 3+ and decided to upgrade. 4K, Wireless uploading and other options aren't necessary for me so I went with this camera to save some money. BIG MISTAKE. This camera's batteries are SO small, they die very quickly! You MUST buy additional spare batteries to continue filming. Screen stays on for min 1 minute before Power Save kicks in. I have the wireless remote to control my Silver 3+ when it's on my chest mount or helmet. IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL on this camera. If it does, I have not figured it out yet. please leave me a comment. I know it has limited image sizes and FPS, so not reviewing that. It's small and lightweight but you still have to put it in a case in order to mount it, which makes it as big and heavy as the older cameras. all in all, just spend the extra $100 for the newest camera.

    My beloved GoPro Session 5 died from last trip then I found by surprise, GoPro doesn't make Session any more. I chose Hero as an alternative and I am glad I got Hero instead. Session surely has a great form factor being smaller. But Hero offers almost same feature as Session such as voice control. Plus, Hero actually has a screen with a touch control. Using action cams for last 5 years, I almost forgot that camera can actually come with screen I can review and control. I also like the quality of the screen as well. For personal use, I don't think I need 4K. So, for the price under $200, I think this is a great deal and can't go wrong with what it offers.

    Compact and easy to use. I am not very tech savvy at all and I was able to set it up and use it very easily. Once you use it a few times you will find it to be super simple. We have used it on many occasions including vacations and love the videos and pictures. Solidly built and performs well, I am really glad I purchased this.

    Never owned one of these. This thing is awesome! I can sync it to my phone, then start/ stop &switch between pic/video settings while the kids are swimming in the water. The touch screen on the camera is easy to figure out, even for someone like me that doesn't like to read directions. When I did (finally) read the directions I found out that this little gizmo is capable of even more.
