    I use this camera for all sports . I do mtb and dirtbike. With one charge i can have all day video. I usually just record a 2 minutes video every time and after that i can edit all video using gopro app with my iPhone. The video quality is better with the more expensives gopros cameras but for my needs the session is enough

    I like taking photos. I hate spender Ng hours tweaking photos and Videos. With GoPro I get great quality images. The software makes post production a brease. I have fallen in love with using it for time lapse photography. For the money I think it is a great value to have a high quality camera that is easy to keep on and use.

    I work as a land surveyor and already have a GoPro of my own, but I needed one for work to inspect the inside of sanitary sewer manholes. These cameras are awesome and the only weakness if the lack of any sort of backlight. This camera and it's image quality was shocking to all of the engineers that I work with.

    I really have enjoyed this action camera. It is really easy to set up and easy to use. The app for the phone is great and lets you view in live mode. It works great under water and is very durable. Lots of accessories are available to use the camera while doing almost anything outdoors, water, or sports.

    From personal experience of buying this go pro and returning it for the Hero 4 Silver, Go Ahead and upgrade to the Hero Silver. The video quality and lack of functions such as low light and time-lapse made me splurge for the Hero Silver.

    I bought this as a birthday gift for my girlfriend. We wanted to take it with us on our cruise to help capture the memories. It works perfect so far and we carried it in our bags and took it jet skiing and snorkeling. I bought this with the GoPro body harness as it seemed more secure than the headband.

    The Go Pro Hero Session HD is cheaper than its higher-end siblings, but has some caveats. Battery life is low and there is no way to swap it out for a fresh one. The only workaround is a portable USB battery charger to strap into a head or body strap, making long shots uncomfortable. If you can live with that, this action cam is fabulous!

    I got this camera as a gift and couldn't be happier with it. It is very durable. You can tell it was made well. I love that the camera can go underwater. The view on the camera is wide and, although the lense is small, it captures a large viewing area. Editing is easy with the free go pro software download.

    Bought it because of the cool look and brand name. Had no idea it would be so easy to operate and with the wide angle I was able to make stellar videos right off the bat. With the GoPro video software available edits are a breeze. So cool I went back an got a second one and now do 2 perspectives at once.
