    Pros: Compact. Waterproof. Excellent 4K video. Nice pictures. Night mode. Time lapse modes. Software comes free. Cons: ( but I actually like this). Be prepared to learn the settings and after gaining experience getting the results you are looking for.

    I bought the Hero5 Black because of the built in waterproof feature. I use my camera primarily for fishing and I did not like the way the cases muffled sound. All of the smart phone integrated are neat and work well. Nothing that I have actually used except when playing/ investigating features. Overall an easy camera to use.

    Great camera. Very compact. Lcd screen is very easy to use. In the sun and prolong use it does heat up a bit so be careful at that. Also i keep it in the deep sea housing all the time. It protects the screen and lens from bumps and scratches. Way less expensive to replace housing then lcd or lense! Very highly reccomended!

    The GoPro.hero 5 black is awesome, first time ever buying and using a GoPro and so user friendly! This camera has a voice command, that actually works, and makes using the camera so easy ! Definitely a must for anyone that likes to take photos and make movies! Also the support to help edit movies and photos is just an app away!

    I had to purchase an aftermarket lens cap online because for some odd reason the camera does not come with one. The removable lens cover scratches very easily. The only other issue besides no lens cap is the Capture app's spotty connectivity at times. Most of the time Capture works and it is very nice. But, there are times where it will take too long for the camera to connect to a device, or fails to connect. This is my first GoPro and I am very impressed with it, overall.

    I upgraded from the Hero 4 Black to the Hero 5. Its so convenient to not have a case. Also, voice activation is an awesome feature. The built in touch screen is night and day compared to the Hero 4 (with the touch screen back pack). It's much faster and more user friendly. That alone is worth the upgrade. I love the new Hero5.

    I think that the Hero 5 Black is a bit faster than the 4. absolutely love the new design, shape and interface. the image in video is a lot more stable compared to Hero 4 Black (which i own). Also the stereo sound is more pleasant than the sound recorded by Hero 4. I even checked the waterproof. Totally love it!!! Recommend!

    I was so wondering about comparison this little hero 5 with a new 6. I bought 5 because i just wanted to learn it how to use. And it’s cheaper than the 6. Image stabilizer was not satisfying as i was reading and watching at it’s reviews. But for me, this is great product. I liked it. 4K video is awesome.

    I just purchased the new GoPro Hero 5. I like the new design. I came from a Hero 3, and was looking forward to this upgrade. First thing I noticed is that this camera gets hot. A lot hotter than my previous GoPros. The battery and cable compartments are a little trick to close, but hopefully that will get easier as I open and close it. I definitely recommend getting extra batteries.
