    I like this camera for shooting car footage and any place with high noice traffic like Time Lapses etc. It introduces certain problems while attempting to use it for vlogging.

    The trickiest part of this camera is how simple it is to use. I have a few other GoPro models and was expecting to have to do a bit of set up before getting rolling. All I had to do with this is charge it and throw a memory card in it. Image quality was comparable to other models but it did lack a little bit in the low light area. It is good enough for my use of recording sports and has become my go to camera for that purpose.

    The smaller camera works great with the dog chest harness and also allows my daughter to wear it during her cheerleading practices. Love the unique perspective the video gives.

    Decent camera. Small form-factor. Waterproof without a housing. Can be difficult to use without the Wi-Fi Remote or Smartphone App.

    Why didn't I get it before?

    I ask myself why I didn't get this camera before. I have been able to capture very nice moments with this little device. It's sleek, small, and the quality of videos is amazing. It's been a little hard to get used to not having a display, and to modifying the settings but now I got the remote and with the iPhone app it's much more simple, which justifies the camera not having a live action display.

    Great camera overall for people new to action cameras. Does it's job and I'm not very picky and just want to capture the "special moments" on adventures. Love it though!
