    It does what it needs to do. I have one issue with the camera...the mic is pretty worthless. After so many variations of the GoPros, they still can't get the mic right.

    Decent 4K camera but the user interface needs a lot of work, the lack of dedicated buttons and unresponsive touchscreen are very poor, therefore I cannot recommend this product.

    Very poor quality for what I expected

    After owning a Hero 2 I was expecting there to be a big difference in the video quality of the new Hero 5. After reviewing the video I was very disappointed in the quality. It always appeared grainy no matter what settings I used (tried Pro mode, setting ISO manually to 400, shooting in brighter light etc.). I eventually returned it and spent a little more money on a Canon G7X Mark II. I am BLOWN AWAY at the quality of this camera. It is stunning and far beyond what I wanted. It was a way better investment than the Go Pro. Unless your shooting underwater, or on a car at 80mph I would check out the Canon for a little more money.

    Bought this GoPro for my trip to Hawaii and it was a great choice. It shoots excellent photos at 12mp and records super clear at 4K for super high resolution. It does lag a bit when it's connect to the TV, but it's tolerable.

    Perfect for those shots I can’t get with a DSLR. It provides such a different variable into a film when used properly.

    The camera works well. Responds to commands and auto up loads. The desk top software is complicated and non intuitive, and limiting. The smartphone software is somewhat better.
