This smaller form helps me put it in places I couldn't jam the bigger one. Very happy with it and the video quality is amazing!

Love my Gopro Camera! It is so small and easy to take on adventures to catch all the action! Should have bought one sooner.

Everything I was looking for. I just realized when opening that the SD Card was sold separately. I feel it should have been a little easier to see on the box or the representative I talked to could have informed me. I happened to have 2 from a bike and kayak tour I took that gave them to you after so I was able to free them up after saving the videos and pictures onto my computer. So for me it wasn’t really an inconvenience but to someone else it might have been. Also if I was informed while purchasing I might have actually purchased another one at the time.

Purchased this for our son who is a commercial diver and wanted a way to film his dives. Haven't seen any footage yet, but he seems to be pleased with it.

I used to have a Go-Pro Hero 3+ Black. I used it on a dive trip while vacationing in Hawaii and when we surfaced, I realized the waterproof dive case had failed and the camera was ruined. I bought the session to record some of our other dives while still on the trip. No case needed, no additional equipment needed and it did great recording the trip! I have used it several times since and I love it! Only criticism is if you record in 4K its very difficult to download due to file size.

This small GoPro takes great pictures in HD. However, the battery only lasts 1 hour & 20 minutes. Since it's a non-removable battery this is a little limiting.

Great way to capture hands-free video. Simple to use. Voice command isn't the best, especially if there is background noise, but still a great product!

Its been a while since I purchased this and that allowed me to give a review after multiple uses.
I bought this mainly for a helmet cam on my dirtbike for trail riding. Its been beat up pretty good and works great.
I do wish it had more features like some other brands, and to get those features to lay over the video it just takes up more time and effort than it should. That's where I took a star away.
Small and durable with great video....but if you want more features look at others.

Not being huge into outdoors during colder months, we haven't had a chance to use it much. Do really like the way it connects to the phone app but the menus can be a little hard to navigate since it doesn't have much of a screen.
