    I just started getting into recording my life and posting videos and I've got to say that the Hero 5 session didn't disappoint. The only reason why I didn't give this 5 stars is because of the internal battery. It's not replaceable and therefore you're at the mercy of its short battery life. Approx 1.5 hours. And it also heats up fairly quick, but so far I haven't noticed that it caused any issues. All in all, great action camera!

    I've always been into shooting video and this camera has been the best bang for my buck! I've been playing tournament paintball for 16 years and have recently had a few different cameras for videos, and this is the best one so far! With 4k video on point and the audio is crisp! And it can take a beating! Also great for any event or family function!

    I got it for my December trip,camera is great& so many options to shoot.i used to connect it with the capture app to see the view since the camera doesn't has a screen but the app keeps gets crashed,so I returned it for a black.you can still live with it if you don't need a screen but I prefer a screen since I want to know what I'm shooting.Also the black comes with external battery,helps to keep shooting for a long time.
