    no concern - product performs as advertised - reliable, sturdy technology. newer models have more features, but this is sufficient for the basic purpose.

    My husband has a drone and was really wanting a camera that would catch what he could see with the drone. This go pro is perfect for him, he also straps it onto his helmet when on the motorcycle. Sound quality is great and images are clear. Only issue he has had so far is that sometimes the go pro interferes with the drone remote.

    I wanted to use this as a dash cam because of the size and video quality. I have a Hero 3 and this camera has a lot of improvements but still wasn't able to make it work as a dash cam. I would think GoPro could write and have a software function for dash cam, that would be a whole other revenue stream for them. Again it has potential as a Dash Cam, but it's not a set and forget.

    It took awhile to learn and navigate through the controls and settings, but it’s fairly easy once you learn it. Camera is awesome. Loved the 4K video recording. Took it swimming and fully submerged it underwater with no problems afterwards. Might take it to outer space next time I go out there.

    I know GoPros are often thought of as adventure cameras, but I bought this mainly to have a second opinion on my form at the gym. Bought a small tripod and this little guy has done nicely. Excellent battery life, and though 4k isn't necessary for my purposes, video quality is excellent. I would buy this again.

    I love this camera. The Session 5 is ultra portable, sturdy great video quality. Navigating the menu system takes a bit of getting used to, but that's not the reason I took a star off. I could not get my Session to connect with my Galaxy Note 5. Fine with my iPhone, but my Note 5 is my primary. Hopefully with the next update it fixes this issue. But...it is still an Awesome camera.

    If you want the top of the line in performance then go with the regular Hero 5. This fits perfectly on my racing multirotor, and still provides excellent image quality.

    I purchased to place on my road bike to capture great scenery as well as use the video during rides in case I have any issues with vehicles. Great quality and resolution. I plan to get another so that I have front and rear cameras on the bike. It will also use for trips. A lot of fun in the pool as well!

    I bought this camera. It knowing to much about Go pro. However it allows me to view my pictures while taking, and after taking wirelessly, which is better then having to take the card out to view them. It also allows you to make custom video and take freeze frame (high quality) from videos through go pro apps.
