    My wife and I purchase the camera for our cruise to the Caribbean and we're happy that we did. It took great photos and video on land, beaches and underwater. Worth it to get the floaty wrist strap and chest mount along with an extra battery.

    The camera has an amazing video quality but it is very complicated to use. I am not an expert into this kind of devices but it is quite annoying to navigate through the menus and settings. Sometimes it goes off by itself and the screen does not go back on. Had to shutdown completely in order to turn it on again and be able to use. I have been tempted to return it.

    I had the GoPro Hero 3+ Silver and I wanted the 5 to utilize the night setting for pictures and video. I also really enjoy not needing a housing for the camera to be water proof. I would like to purchase a karma drone if they ever re release them

    The go pro was one of my best purchases in a while. I brought it on my trip to Colorado and Canada and made some great videos. Be sure to look online at instructional videos as they have been of great assistance in figuring out the device

    This is a great camera for those on the going and unto extreme sports/activities. Great/sharped images. The only negative regarding this product is the Customer Services for GoPro Care which is horrendously outsourced and poorly managed.

    I've been waiting patiently for GoPro to release their latest Hero camera so I could finally get my hands on one of these and record my travels. And boy this thing is amazing. Recorded in 2.7k at 60fps. The quality and the slow motion is amazing.

    LOVE IT!!! Had the Hero 4, and upgraded to this one. You don't need an extra casing and the touch screen on the back is very helpful. You will definitely want to get at least one extra battery. Also get a casing if you plan on diving with this.

    The GoPro series is an amazing camera because of what it can do and the versatility of it. You can use it in about any type of conditions, including underwater. So if you're looking, this is the camera to go with for the active family.

    I love the Hero 5 and find myself taking it everywhere I go. It's not the best in low light situations, but it's a blast to use. The quality is amazing and I love the 4K details. The price is more than affordable, I just wish I had more!

    The GoPro Hero5 Black makes it easy to capture the action, and the built-in video stabilization works surprisingly well. In addition, the free Capture app makes it really simple to combine clips and stills into a quality video in minutes.
