    The Hero5 Black has features that a session does not have such as a rear facing viewing screen that you can actually see. Add the voice remote to control the camera is also a plus. Using this on a motorcycle and not having to fumble with buttons with gloves on makes the remote a must!

    If you are bordering about getting one this season, this is the time. I wonder considering this and the smaller one, and this model had so many more options despite just slightly being a bit more larger in size.

    I haven't spent a ton of time with the camera yet, but when I did create some footage with it, it was clean, crisp and sharp. Noticed the battery is used pretty quickly, so am happy I can change them out as they die.

    I bought this to use for snowboarding the video is amazing. Unfortunately the cold kills the battery real fast so make sure to have charged spares if that’s what you’re going to use it for or an outdoor snow activity.
