    I loved the camera don't get me wrong but when recording, it would shut off, stop recording, freeze, and lag. I returned it and I'm hoping to get a GoPro hero 5 soon!

    Not quite as user friendly as you would think. Just turning it on and trying to toggle the menu is difficult. Plus the app does not properly connect at times.

    Exploring new technologies

    While I bought this thing to explore something new to me - I've yet to actually use it. In short, FOR ME, this has been a waste of money. It (and another device) also encouraged me to upgrade from my old iPhone-4. While I do have a cheap 3 year old Samsung tablet that could run the necessary software - it was a SAMSUNG tablet and miserable to use (I power it up once a month or so.) A case of optimism exceeding good sense. But I could have spent more and felt worse...

    The one button operation was a fail, shut off on its own too often! Spend the extra money on upgrade to Hero 5

    Power button is very difficult to operate. Know what you're buying before spending your money here. If I had to do it over again,I'd research better.

    I bought this for my husband for his Christmas present and he seems to be fine with it. He had a difficult time getting it to connect to bluetooth.

    The first time I used the camera in the pool the top lens cover filled with water and the information screen stopped working. I tried to return it but they wouldn't because I didn't have the serial number off the package. I like the camera and its abilities but what if this happened on the trip I bought it for. It would have been a waste.

    Good for everything other than connecting external audio recording. The audio option are available for the higher priced gopros.

    This camera is not user friendly. The software and apps that support it are even worse. Extremely proprietary and incompatible with other apps. Good luck trying to save inages and videos. Very very very slow downloads. Camera heats up a lot recirding and trying to download. Files are huge even for 30 second video and not supported my most social media sites or email.

    Anything outside that range is background. Definitely a camera for the bike rider or kayak.
