    The camera is the perfect size and the quality is great. The IOS application is also great, easy to use, well once you can get the camera to connect.. When you turn off the camera, the wifi stays running and drains your battery. when you turn on the camera it sometimes takes a lot of tries to get WIFI and the app talking to each other. Its a pain because the button to get the menu is small as is the display..

    Super happy with the GoPro hero 4 session, this is my first GoPro so I was a little nervous that I was going to struggle trying to figure out how to use it. but thanks to the app they have and Youtube I was fine. the camera is actually really easy to use and very customizable.

    The picture is great and it's awesome that it links up to your phone because I don't have to watch the camera, it all feed to my phone screen.

    This is the third GoPro I've owned. First was the Hero 3 Black, then the Hero 4 Black and now the session. It's an awesome little camera. Been getting some awesome archery footage with the sport mount. Love it.

    Exceeded my expectations, takes better quality footage than my friends hero 3. Easy to use, inexpensive compared to the other GoPro options. Highly recommend!

    Bought this as a gift for my brothers and they shot some good snowboarding footage and took it hiking. I did have some trouble getting it to connect to the app, but once I figured it out it worked great. The mounts are easily interchangeable as well.

    The Hero4 Session is definately a great starting GoPro camera. It's small size is great for mounting anywhere. Since it is a GoPro it still fits all mounts designed for GoPros

    Bought for my daughters 11th birthday. She hasn't used it yet but I have and I love it. Motivates me to get out on my mountain bike. Have a few spills recorded that are pretty funny. Worth the money. Love the small size.

    This has been a fantastic Christmas present for my boyfriend. So far we've only used it on time lapse videos of road trips. Going to be purchasing more attachments soon. Only downfall is the two hour battery life span

    This thing is nice. I use it for training class presentations so people in the back can see what I'm doing. Also use it for weekend adventures on my boat. Easy to use. Easy to setup with your phone or tablet.

    It's a good small camera with decent display. Easy to use. Two cons I dislike are the transfer speeds to download videos. An hour for a 12 minute video in hd. Secondly, the apps to edit need to be easier to use.

    This camera does everything you really need. It shoots excellent quality video. Great still shots and everything in between. If you have the money to spend on the better model, great. This one in my opinion is one of the better purchases I've done. I keep it in my car, charge it with a USB and bam. I have it quick handy for anything. The best part in my opinion too, there is no screen. Less distractions for quick action shots. Money well spent.

    The size is way better than the other gopros, and I love the display on top. The only complaint I have is the video quality is a little behind the hero 4 silver and that's been out for a year already.

    Since GoPro reduced the price, this little cam turned into a great purchase! Great quality of video and sound. You can also cut wonderful pictures from a 1080 FPS60 video. I just loved :)
