    I got this as a Christmas gift. It's a really good action camera my only concern is tab you cannot change the battery. Once the battery is low you have to charge it. Not like the GoPro Hero 5 where you can change battery's if needed. Other than that I really like it!

    The GoPro is very easy to use. It is a wide angle lens, so you can catch a lot of action by just pointing it forward. I primarily use the video, although I took a time lapse video for he total eclipse. It was great.

    I really enjoy the GoPro Hero5 Session. I didn't need the touchscreen of the larger GoPro so I actually preferred the Session. It's a great camera overall. Battery life could be improved a little but I knew that going into it. Definitely satisfied with the purchase.

    My boyfriend is always talking about recording his long drives in the Pacific NW so the GoPro was perfect. He loves it. I love watching his videos. The videos are high quality and the time lapse videos are so cool.

    The camera takes fantastic wide angle pictures. Attached it to my golf bag and took videos. I was walking the course and could not believe how great the videos turned out. Very little movement seen on the video.

    I used this to capture my motorcycle trips and laps around the track. I like that the stabilizer helps with the shaking on the camera. Overall pretty easy to use when you connect it to your phone.

    This camera has really good control and stability. The footage is extremely clear and beautiful. I use it for mountain biking, water sports, and other outdoor activities. The sound is excellent as well.

    Camera takes beautiful pictures and videos. This is my first Gopro so it may just be me but it's a little confusing on turning on and off. May have something to do with my Wi-Fi and the app.

    Purchased this to attach to the top of a Lionel Train Engine and record the run. Easy to use, attaches to my android phone (Samsung 7s Edge) which I can use to work the camera. Great product.

    I really enjoy the session, but I think it would be better suited as a supplement to the GoPro Hero 5 Black. I think the convenience of having an LCD screen is worth the extra cost, though I do love how inconspicuous the session is. Kinda torn.

    Failry easy to use device. Has some trouble connecting device to iPhone due to confusing directions but with some online help, it worked. Good quality video. Must buy accessories to make it worthwhile but good cheap ones are available.
