    I have used this to record Hockey games mounted with the suction cup. Great quality of video and very easy to use.

    We got this new GoPro for our son for Christmas. We are very handy with the Hero 3&4 series and found this model to be not as user friendly out of the box. But after a short time, all problems were solved.

    It's an OK camera but the battery life isn't too good. The best thing is it's waterproof without an extra case.

    Bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she has been very happy with it so far. We also bought a kit of mounts on line that were far cheaper than any GoPro brand mounts and they work great.

    Look at many Camera's and this is the best of breed. Performs as expected. I felt setup was a little tricky as there are some hoops you have to jump thru but once it was set up it worked well

    I bought this to use on my kayak this summer. From the tests I've done so far, works really well!!! At the $200 price it's perfect! The only downside is that you can't switch out the battery, so this is good for shorter sessions unless you have a charging source with you! I have also used this as a dashcam and it performed very well there too!! Audio did peak with sub hits in the vehicle, but a little tweak to that and all is good now!

    I'm still learning how to use this GoPro version. I have not figured out how to turn it completely off yet. Anybody have suggestions? Overall the camera itself has been working well so far.

    Bought this on a whim. The app instead of a remote and lcd was the biggest factor. Having the camera set up and being able to move around with your phone as the screen. Way cool

    Great for autocross, bikinig, and even as a dash cam. I like its compact nature and how it doesn't need all the added stuff of a Hero4, even though I have one as well.

    Seen this in real action on boarding trips and with other friends pretty happy with the results as well. Decided on this over the other classic for the frames/sec and it's newer. There's a good app that we use for editing (Splice) that's makes it more user friendly. It's good 'snow proof'. Can't wait to use it under water.

    I got the GoPro Hero 4 Session because i saw that it was cut to $200, and I knew that it was time to finally get a GoPro. I love it. It may not be as good as the $500 or $400 Heros, but it does do exactly what I want it to do, and more. Absolutely love my GoPro.

    My grandson was eager to try it out. I haven't heard any complaints so far. Although it doesn't seem to have many controls it can be accessed through his cell phone.
