    I've used on a few dirt bike rides so far and it works awesome. Great picture and does 1080p 60fps. Has a really wide angle view which catches everything. Only think I have to figure out is how to minimize the wind noise. The other GoPro models have foam covers that do this but not for yet for the Session.

    I waited a long time before finally buying my first Go Pro. Loved the small form factor and the price drop to $199 sealed the deal. Now I get while the price probably dropped. While I love the picture quality, I've already had to return the unit once due to the battery overheating causing the camera to freeze. It happened again on a big event ride. The camera just stopped in the middle of recording. I was unable to restart. This one is going back to Best Buy.

    The videos produced were very good. It takes some practice getting used to the controls. Test it out before you need it. The software, on a Mac, was difficult to use. I couldn't get it to see the camera and download videos until I did a software update to the camera using the mobile app. The optional remotes had very poor range, 20 ft, line-of-sight, max.

    My girlfriend and I decided to buy a GoPro for Valentine's day and it was a great purchase. I won't go into details on how great it is, because we are not camera gurus. All I'll say is the new design is sleek and gets the job done. Mind you this is our first camera we purchased, but it's very simple, durable, and efficient. A complaint I have is upon bootup occasionally the button used to toggle between settings will lag and we have to wait for the screen to turn off and attempt again for it to work as if the lag was never there. My last complaint is that when the memory card is full, the screen will stay on and display MEMORY FULL and leave the camera useless thus draining all of the battery rather than only displaying the message when attempting to record.

    Love the size of this thing. Small and fits nice on a mono-pole. It also rides great in the car on the windshield. I was able to shoot video through the windshield in direct sunlight with great results. The interface with the iPad is perfect to control it. Had a little trouble with the minimalistic buttons and connecting to my phone instead of the iPad when it was in the vicinity. Then again, I hate everything that is automatic. If you are looking for a great camera on the go... (I.E. GoPro) then this is for you. I did purchase some lens protectors since there is no protective case for the camera.
