    Use this on my 5" Kwad and it's great! 2.7 picture is the best. Great form factor and lots of mounts out there for your application. Glad I purchased it for YouTube videos.

    The Hero 5 Session works great as a companion to my Hero 5 Black to get a second perspective view. Live this compact camera that I can put anywhere to get that great shot.

    I’m very happy with this one. I have owned every GoPro. I purchased this one just for my drone. This exceeds my expectations of what I thought it was going to be.

    I purchased this specifically to run tough Mudders and other mud runs. Light enough to wear running 10+ miles on my head. Recordings were clear and smooth.

    I love this camera. The footage and audio are awesome. Its a little difficult to know what you are recording but once you get a hang of it it's pretty easy.

    Works great just like a regular camera but wished to have bought the gopro with the screen. The session style does not have the screen so its hard to manipulate the shots when you dont have a screen.

    Excellent functionality. Mostly driven by voice command, so the recognition capabilities are key to the device's performance. Voice activation can be frustrating in windy conditions or at speed.

    This camera takes some of the best videos ever. It shoots in 4K and is so clear that you feel like you are right in the action when watching it on playback.
