    This Camera is very efficient and the size allows you to take virtually anywhere with ease. My only complaint is using it without the app you may not have the camera aimed exactly where you want it.

    Bought the GoPro Hero before going on vacation with the Grandkids. With the floating handle it is the perfect camera to record all the water fun. It is great for above water recording as well.

    I wanna buy a Gopro for long time, i compare a lot of,but we choose Hero Session last. i think Hero 5 session is really great,control by voice ,but the video take by Hero 1 is brighter than Hero 5.

    Very easy and simple to setup. the pairing to a mobile device takes a bit of getting used to. Very easy to stop and start recording. Only negative is the odd shut down sequence to fully turn off the camera - have to disable wifi first.

    I took this on my recent trip to The Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the pictures and video I took are nothing short of amazing. And calling it amazing is the least I could do. Best purchase ever.

    This GoPro was great for my needs. Bought it before a trip to Hawaii. I wanted something I could take in the water and try to get some basic photos and videos. Very user friendly. Would recommend!

    This was my first time purchasing the go pro ,since I wanted something that was hands free , waterproof , and can capture those special moments while traveling at high speeds in the water. The go-pro definetly provided what I needed.

    I am a novice for using the GoPro- the camera and software has been easy to use. The device is rugged and survived the water trip. I look forward to the next opportunity to use the camera.

    My Grandson requested for his birthday and absolutely loved it! He was able to start using it immediately with no problems. I am positive he will get many years of fubN out of his go pro.

    Overall a great purchase, especially for the price. I didn't think I needed the 4K quality but kind of wish i splurged and got it, as the picture quality is pretty good but it would be nice if it were a little more clear.

    Really buggy software, many times I thought I was recording but wasn't. Hardware is solid especially waterproof feature. Battery is pretty short I'd say 45 mins in highest quality.
