I've owned an original Hero Session as well as a Hero 4 Silver, and the first thing I noticed was how much the native GoPro color / saturation has improved from Hero 4. The Hero 5 Session offers decent 4k at 30fps and the stabilization is just "okay" and it is a bummer this is only offered at 2.7k and below. Oh, and the 4 stars is mainly due to the fact that GoPro decided to only include a USB 2.0 Type C to Type A cable.. Why not a USB 3.0? The data transfer speeds are significantly improced when using a USB 3.0 cable with this camera.

Camera and camcorder quality was great! Only being able to record for 30 minutes before the battery dies on 4K video is the only flaw .

Initially out of the box the unit did not function as described. The voice command to power off did not work only beeps and stays on. The app power ion as did not work, also only beeps when pressed. But after updating firmware to 2.51 guessed what the problem is still there. Finally did a factory reset on the unit and wa la Everything is working. I can voice command it to turn off and and app power ion also is working. Happy camper!
