    It was easy to use. I have used it both underwater and for other videos in our travels. The stability of the videos are better than I can do with my digital camera.

    The 4K resolution is fantastic but I didn't anticipate the memory it requires. The image stabilization is a little less than I expected as well but still pretty good. However, the versatility of the camera with the adapters (purchased separately) is what makes this the best camera on the market. I can clip the camera onto vehicles, toys, self, etc and get amazing shots I wouldn't otherwise be able to get. For the versatility alone, this camera is a must for videographers and YouTube Creators.

    I bought the gopro hero 5 to document some of the adventures me and my son go on in a Polaris rzr s1000. I was leery of cheaper brands as I was concerned about vibration from the motor. This one doesn’t fail to deliver smooth crisp video with decent battery life for short videos. Running 4K does drain the batter pretty quickly but I plug mine in to the outlet on the dash while riding.

    Met my expectations of what an action camera should do. I enjoy the fact the camera itself is water proof and doesn't need a case to get wet. Also the video quality is fantastic.

    This is my second GoPro, this model is by far the best, you no longer need to have the watertight housing cases, the camera itself is waterproof and is perfect for night lapse videos

    The hero 5 is an excellent piece of equipment to catch action shots or video footage. Pretty simple to set up and operate straight out of the box. I wish the battery lasted a little longer but to keep things small for something of this size it's understandable the battery had to be small as well.

    I need a camera after my Olympus TG died, so I decide to have my first GOPRO. Very good camera for close pics and videos.... ACTION CAM, I just realize what taht means. Doesnt work for shots from far distance. Maybe if there is and adapter to make it zoomable, would be perfect.

    GoPro cam and accessories

    My 18 year old son had always wanted a GoPro so he could capture all the adventures he and his friends have while riding dirt bikes, fishing, hunting, canoeing and hiking. Let’s don’t forget CAMPING! And he never believed he’d actually have a GoPro, but I made the effort to save money here and there and was able, with BestBuys help, pick out and purchase a GoPro with several accessories for his Christmas present. The advice I got from the associate was exactly what I was looking for and I found everything on sale by being updated via emails. Now we’ll never get David out of the woods
