    Bought for my son to use to record paintball playing. He attaches it to his barrel and gets great footage for his utube channel! He' s very happy with it.

    This little camera was cool, but I returned it for the full version of the Hero 5 because there was no replaceable battery, internal battery only. So once it's dead, it's dead forever.

    I really enjoy the versatility of the small camera. My only complaint is the battery life seems to not last too long when you are connecting the camera to your phone on the GoPro app.

    If you're the kind of person who wants something light with a little footprint, this is the GoPro for you.

    I love my gopro session 5 simple as that, the two button system is simple and easy to use, pair it to your smartphone and edit social videos on the fly.

    Its a great camera and its quality is phenomenal however it could do with some more in-depth instructions on what SD card to use and how to turn it off

    This gopro is a great buy and small enough for just about any situation. I even found an extended battery for longer recording sessions.

    I am much happier with this size vs. my older standard GoPro. I generally like the simple one-button approach, but sometimes miss the touch screen back the new models have.

    I purchased this camera for my son as a Christmas present. At first he wasn't sure he wanted to keep it because he felt that it was too expensive for him to only use when skiing. Once I pointed out that he could use it when rafting, diving, biking, etc. he became excited about it. He searched the internet and saw exactly what he could do with the camera and he hasn't looked back since. Recently he used the camera when working on a school project. I would say we are definitely getting a lot of use out of the camera that he initially wasn't sure he wanted!

    I bought the GoPro Hero5 Session 4K bundle which came with the Dynex accessories to go along with the GoPro. I had to get a micro SD card separately.

    This is simply a great little camera. Been using the video function most, but still photos are great, as well. Would not hesitate to recommend.

    Love the size . Linear mode is amazing, it doesn’t look like an action camera took the footage or the picture . Great for traveling.

    I use this GoPro when I’m snowboarding. It is so compact and I love it, much smaller than what I had before which was the GoPro hero 3.

    I've used it a few times and am blown away at how unbelievable the picture quality it. The audio is pretty good considering how tiny the unit is.
