    This was purchased for my 13 year old nephew who is super active. He mainly wanted it for hunting but took it skiing a few weeks ago and we were all able to experience the excitement of his run by watching it through his GoPro. We all want him to bring it to Noah's Ark Waterpark this summer and use it while riding Surfin' Safari

    This is a great camera with really good picture quality. There are others with higher definition but it's hard to match the size and portability of the Session. It's so easy to use and maneuver when you're on the go

    So far used it on a ski trip and on several bike rides, both road and mountain. It does a very nice job and works as advertised. It could use some image stabilization like found in more expensive cameras, but for under $200, It does a great job.

    I normally snowboard and this camera is great on a helmet. But I recently took it to a two week backpacking trip to Malaysia and used it with the foldable handle/stick. It worked great. Compact, easy to access, the handle made it easier to pan, get above obstacles, get closer etc. Fully waterproof up to 33 feet so I was also able to take it under water, stick it under water. The one button operation just made taking short clips fast and saves the battery life since it shuts off by itself after the STOP command. Overall, very happy with it.

    This is my first GoPro and for that matter is my first action camera. Very small and easy to operate. The GoPro software helps make great videos and easy to use.

    This is the best GoPro I have ever bought! It is super small and convenient to take anywhere. I sold my GoPro Hero 3 for this one, and am glad I did. It mounts great to my Jet Ski and is super durable. It shoots in many different modes and connects to my iPhone great. Awesome product for the price!

    I installed it on my son's skateboard helmet and filmed for 1.5 hours at a time with plenty of power and storage. It has a very clear picture. I have not taken it underwater yet (with a additional housing), but I am guessing in shallow water with a lot of light, it will be just good as my GoPro 3+.

    I got this camera for my 13 year old son who loves water sports and other extreme sports. This Go pro is very easy to use. He has the Go pro hero 3+ silver and he wanted to upgrade to this one.

    Great camera but a little challenging to know what you are shooting and how it's going to look. Hope we don't miss the shot because you can't see it as it records.

    Initially camera wouldn't work properly, would stop recording after 1 minute. Problem had to do with the SD card. This camera does not work with SanDisk Ultra cards, only with the Extreme version. Recommend to check the GoPro website before purchasing an SD card to ensure it works. Due to its very small screen and only two buttons to control, operation of the camera takes some getting used to. The most convenient way to control the camera is through the app. The video quality is all right, somewhat grainy in low light conditions - which is not unexpected for a camera this size. Camera is extremely small and has many mounting options.

    I honestly got this GoPro to see the hype and I was highly impressed. The picture and video qualities are great and with the GoPro app it makes it real easy to just upload the pictures and videos straight to the phone.

    I was torn between the GoPro Session and the Polaroid Cube, but I decided to go with the GoPro Session because it is waterproof by itself, where the Cube needed an additional case to be waterproof. I used it for a Spartan Race on a head strap/mount, and I was very pleased with the ease of use and the quality of the footage. Using the mobile app to control additional features and as a live viewfinder is a pleasant bonus.

    Very nice little camera. I have used this almost everyday since I purchased it. I use it to record my bike commutes. First I mounted it on my helmet, then I bought a Hero 4 Silver so now I use the session under my saddle for a small rear view cam. Works great and has great sound.
