    Finally they include a built in screen and still the best out there. Just wish it recorded in 4K in 60 frames vs 30 but still a great cam and love that it's water proof without a case

    Love My GoPro 5

    Getting rid of housing significantly reduced noise when mounted on my ski backpack chest strap (Polar Pro). Battery life is fairly good as compared to my old GoPro 3. But, 2 batteries would not last whole day in cold winter day. Having back screen is totally awesome and built-in stabilizer seems to work pretty decent as I see less vibration on my video chasing down my kids while skiing. I am carrying my GoPro 5 to every trip now!!..

    Only concern is battery life. Purchase additional batteries if planning on getting more than 15 minutes worth of video. Great that it's already waterproof. Wifi functionality is great.

    great product, easy to use touch screen. overall happy with this. The only downer is the battery life, keep a car charger, or portable power back w ya, you get a few hours max.

    This is a great camera and I'd like to think that this is a bang for your buck as of now (01/2019) I had bought this before knowing that GoPro was losing money. The price on this significantly dropped afterwards and I was bummed. But overall, I wouldn't even recommend looking at the HERO6 and on because the price jump is pretty high. The only thing this camera 'lacks', from what I hear and I'm not really to bothered about this, is the stabilization. It's not too bad unless you're taking it out for a swim or you're biking. I'm using the HERO5 more casually aka traveling or hiking.

    Water proof and battery like North pole in South pole. Extremely uncomfortable , I can't imagine myself on the slope in aspen with gloves changing weak batteries, they are weak

    Its not much different than the gopro 6. If youre really into framerate, then get the 6, but if you're okay with basic frame rates, this is perfect and $100 cheaper. They both use the same components so you can upgrade and not worry about the hassle of buying new accessories.

    I previously had the Hero2 . I am a bass fisherman and like recording the moment the fish comes out of the water. Also when I am fishing alone and catch a nice fish I want to take a photo before releasing the fish. With the Hero 5 Black it is very easy to catch that moment when my fish leaps out of the water and taking a photo is as simple as saying "GoPro take photo" The voice command feature was the most important feature for my upgrade.

    Waited to buy my first GoPro and glad I did. Waterproof without all the cumbersome cases and back doors. I use it for a dash cam, auto security cam and many other uses I never was able to do with just my old camcorder.
