    I love this Go Pro! I've had several prior models and even other brands, but I keep coming back to Go Pro! The innovations on this latest model were overdue, but at least they finally implemented them.

    It is a great cammera. Easy to charge, easy to use, good quality video. Just one problem, getting it out of the package. Make sure to visit a tutorial video on unpacking the GoPro Hero 5 before you try it.

    My boyfriend enjoys rebuilding whatever he can. So I bought it so he can ride around what he builds. The camera is super still and has so many accessories and the functions are amazing over all great product!

    This is a great small camera for a person who is on the go and like to capture action! This was a gift for my son and he is on the go and like to capture action shot of his kids, workout and beach events!

    It takes great pictures and videos, and I like new features, but the battery life is TERRIBLE. Not sure if it's something I'm missing but it died so quickly.

    This version of the GoPro addresses many of the things people have been asking for. The interface is a GIANT leap forward vs the last camera. Like the title says if you're a GoPro fan... this is a must have!

    It's my first time to own a new toy although I didn't learned to operate the old ones but got to learned it easily for this new model.. It's a good thing to record the moments I never want to forget.

    I have Hero 4 Black Edition and I purchased this Hero 5 black as a backup action camera. Hero 5 is pretty light in terms of weight but for me , its like a toy. When I tried to insert a battery in the camera, I couldn't open the case so easily and It was almost broken. I prefer Hero 4 black compared to Hero 5 black.

    I bought the Hero5 as an addition to my Hero4 Black and my Session. The Hero5 is great and well thought out. The voice activation works well and is super convenient. The only oddity I noticed is that the video stream to my smart phone is laggy when the GPS is switched on. Turn it off and it's very smooth.

    I'm new to the GoPro users, but I love this camera! It took some time to get the basics down but the bought a book to help me. It's also fun to use with the fetch mount and mounted on my bow when shooting

    The camera works well and records good video. However, you’ll have to edit all of it with video editing software if you’re going for a certain look in your video. It was a little tricky to find the option to turn off the fisheye effect as well.

    Used this when traveling and it worked out great. Only issue I had was with image stabilization, but that may have been user error and not the camera

    My first time to have a GoPro, ever! Love the Supra and wide-angle lenses, which I don't have with my iPhone and DSLR! However, in a crowded environment, its speech-recognition technology, the camera doesn't take pictures as commanded! Overall, with its fish-eye look, it's great for capturing the view!

    It's the best investment for my family. My family enjoys outdoors sports from skiing, snorkeling, biking , hiking you name it. We love the fact that we can relive our vacations. It's simple to operate.

    I bought this because of the gps feature. It does have gps and it does seem to work easily. I also purchased something so i could wear it on my body since I didn’t want the helmet cam.

    My 13 year old son loves this thing, he records everything and we ended up purchasing three extra extended batteries for it just because he won't leave it behind. It's his favorite thing to do now!

    I got the go pro so I could make movies underwater and action based. Kinda difficult figuring out how to get it out of the package and put the battery/sd card in. But I just youtubed it.

    We use this camera filming 3 devices when we do a paranormal investigation. The devices have led screens that are lit up and the camera does a great job capturing the displays in the dark.
