    This camera is awesome, light weight, and great flexibility on usage and apps available for it. It is great that it has the voice command and also being able to take pictures through the phone app for when using the selfie stick.

    Best action cam there is. I wish the screen were a bit more responsive. It's hard to scroll and use the on-screen commands with larger hands, and the touchscreen is not super sensitive. The camera works pretty well unless in extreme brightness. Not great for low-light video under any settings, but I doubt that's what anyone is in for this for.

    Purchased for a trip to Hawaii. Used it for hiking, diving, snorkeling, stuck it out of the window of the Jeep. No problems whatsoever. Just got back and hooked it up to the 4k and got perfect clarity. Exactly why I bought it.

    I bought this guy for a trip I took to Mexico. I took this lil guy everywhere: the beach, snorkeling and diving into cenotes (caves). The photo quality and video was as advertised. Couldn’t be happier.

    Great camera - easy to use, easy to set up and make short clips - once you get past some glitches in the free software (have to right click and click run integrated default graphics processor to ensure Quik works correctly).

    I have always thought a GoPro would be fun and I was right. It's hilarious to watch what your dog sees. Also really cool to strap onto the bike helmet and fly down a hill. Love this little camera, wish I had bought it sooner!

    My husband and I bought this for an upcoming vacation. He loves it! He had been using it during our kids sports as practice. He watched a few youtube videos once we got it home and hasn't had any issues with it.

    I used this on a cruise which was awesome for tight hallways and getting our whole group in the shot. Waterproofing was also nice since I could take it out in the ocean and not have to worry about it. The doors for the battery and memory card are understandably difficult to open because of waterproofing. It shoots beautiful video and stills too.

    If you buy this camera you wouldn't have to buy another one for the next few years! This is camera really professional grade. Very impressed with this camera and I would buy another. Maybe look into the session later in the future.

    This is my first action camera and so far it's pretty good. Being able to just jump into water with it is pretty sweet and the options are nice. Using the touchscreen when it's wet is challenging but I have no other issues with it.

    I always debated on buying a GoPro, but finally bought one last month. Couldn't be happier! Very user friendly and easy to you. I am not an extreme lifestyle kind of guy and still find this a very fun camera for everyday use!

    I bought my son's the Hero 5 session. They are very nice. Go the extra mile and buy the Hero 5 Black. Its nice to have the onboard screen to delete short clips and also see where the camera is focused. Worth the extra bucks.

    You can literally take this everywhere with you. The video quality is out of this world. This is easily getting to be my favorite gadget. Shooting pictures on the other hand, keep your iPhone nearby for the picture taking.
