    After reviewing the go pros and other action cams available, this one was the winner. Great quality and stabilization. Took it on a helicopter ride with doors off and the sound and video was amazing. Same video was taken on my phone and couldn't even view it because it shook too much. Can review your work using the app on your phone. Overall amazing buy

    The GoPro HERO5 is great

    As a responsible long distance road bicyclist the GoPro HERO5 provides me the confidence that when confronting a road raged individual I have the evidence needed by the police for their investigation. Many times simply seeing my GoPro causes many angry or unreasonable individuals to simply drive or walk away without trying to push me over or injure me.

    This was a requested item on my Son's Christmas list. I checked it out (thru reviews) and determined it was what he needed. When I went to the store ... the salesman was VERY helpful (as he owned 3 of them). After talking with him, it seemed like the BEST product for the reasonable price ... thus, I bought it. (My Son is VERY happy!).

    Nice Upgrade

    I bought this to compare to my Session 4 and I have to say that if you have the Session 4 I don't think it's worth the extra money unless you absolutely need 4K. The image stabilizer is good but I don't think it warrants upgrading. The picture and sound are great but I decided to keep my Session 4 because it suited my needs better. Great camera if you don't have one but not worth to upgrade from the Session 4.

    The camera works great for its small size. I have this and the Hero 5 black and both are comparable. The fun thing about this camera is that its small and easy to carry with all the qualities as the Hero 5 black. Sometimes the voice activation doesn't always work but it happens when you're in an area with a lot of noise or wind.

    I used to have the Gopro 3, and when I first saw the quality of the video on the new 5 I was amazed. the built in stabilization is really amazing. I use this camera mainly for mountain biking, and with the Gopro 3 the video was shaky, but with the new camera it feels as if a drone is following the rider not another rider with a helmet mount.
