    Good camera; BB needs to update "Whats Included"

    It is a really good camera and fairly easy to use, but the 2 button combination makes it tough to update settings (e.g. video quality, FPS, etc.) unless you're using the app through the phone. Also, while i know it was designed this way but having a way to review what you captured on the camera itself would be great (again, you can do this via the app); with that said, other models do have this functionality...would just assume in this day and age, it would make sense to have something where people could easily review what they just did. Also, Best Buy needs to update the "What's Included" section on this product. According to their page, this comes with the "ball joint mounting buckle" (a versatile piece that can help you reposition the camera rotating 360 deg)....it DOES NOT come with this piece.

    Not much I can add. I read a lot of reviews before buying this and I was sold on it. I wasn't disappointed at all. Super easy to use and really light - those were the important characteristics to me.

    great little camera. Bought it with the roll bar mount to video 1/4 mile drag racing on a friends super gas car. Video is sharp and the wide angle lens really makes the video great. Easy to use. Just hit the button and it starts recording .

    Cheaper and just as good as the other go pros. The screen in the others isnt needed or used as much because you can use the app. Doesnt come with a memory card, so seperate purchase sucks. especially because you want a big one.

    This camera is good for some people, kids or teen who would just want an action camera for its little money, but not as good as I expected because I was looking for a better one to use on motorcycle. Stability was not so much, that because it could be on a motorcycle (again). Over all, it would be a great buy, not so much for great quality.

    Good action camera, small and easy to use once you learn how to use the only two buttons the camera actually have. Good quality video for such a small camera. Use mine as a dash cam in my truck.

    Durable enough for an 8-year old

    After much research I decided on this GoPro as the top choice for my 8 year old son. Packaging was simple and easy to set up the camera. Any help I needed I was able to find on YouTube. We also got an accessory pack which I'd recommend. There are tons of different connections available for attaching the camera to your head, chest, bike, scooter, etc. The best part of this camera (so far) is that my son forgot to take it out of his pocket and it went thru a full load of laundry, including the dryer. Everything checked out fine... all images and videos that were previously on the microSD card were intact and the camera still worked, with no scratches or damage. Amazingly solid product.

    This is a great Go Pro camera. My fist one but im really impressed. For the first use we took it to the pool and it produced great results in and out of the water. The small size is great and there are plenty of accessories for it.

    Gopro Session for my 250 racing drone.... already had a gopro hero2 and this was a great upgrade. Very light, very good quality flying at 1080 60fps. I did not need 4k so this was a great upgrade.

    I bought this camera to use on our first Disney Cruise. We were going snorkeling and I thought this would be what I needed. It worked very well except one of my best shots of a sea turtle would not play. Everything else turned out great. The settings may be confusing to a small portion of the population but definitely worth the purchase.

    I've used this camera in the pool, the ocean and even under a waterfall and the video and sound quality is wonderful. Perfect transitions going from either under the water to above and vise versa.

    Def like the size being so compact & light it's really nice vs my hero 3+ it was on the heavy side. Different getting use to to the menus on the tiny screen but overall it gets the job done.

    This was a great little camera for a little adventure. Took it to Maui used it in the water. It's cool because it doesn't need any extra cases for it to be water proof. Pretty durable so far as I can tell. The battery life is not so great. I got maybe a solid hour battery life on 1080p video recording. I suggest bringing a portable battery charger because you can't change out the battery on this camera. All in all pretty good

    We bought the Go Pro Session for our trip to Cancun. Very easy to use, as you only have 1 button to mess with. Video playback was very sharp at 1080p. Would definitely recommend!
