    battery life could be better, quality of video exceeds expectations than regular video camera in general. I had to tweak with out of box settings to make the output of product look professional enough and make best use of the product itself.

    I had the gopro hero 3 for a few years and got some great videos. One reason I upgraded to the Hero 5 Black was that it's waterproof without a case. I used the Hero 3 on some white water rafting trips and the audio was bad because of the waterproof case. I also like the image stabilization on the Hero 5. The touch screen is a huge plus for the Hero 5. Overall I'm very pleased with the Hero 5

    I love the GoPro from the early models to this current generation, the voice control is ingenious, the diverse modes address several types of shooting situations, and the battery life just keeps getting better. Just be prepared to get lots of gear to deal with those different shooting styles.

    I like the new ones are much easier to use than the 4s i put them in my Race Car to monitor what I’m doing and i just plug them into my Smart TV in my R/V and watch them on the big screen and i have a 70” at home i can review them and so far they have helped me a lot to fine tune my Driving
