    We always wanted one and it did not disappoint. Great recording and thankfully waterproof. We used it white water rafting and had a blast.

    I attach it to a fence to record my sons baseball games. And my kids love that it is waterproof and can take some fun video in the pool.

    Nice cam add on for certain shots. I do like the screen of the other gopros and would probably opt for that if I could only have one.

    We got this product for our wedding in Jamaica. It was great but going back I would have spent the additional $ for the screen on the back. Video's are so clear! We love them!

    Our GoPro has been so much fun. If you really want a good laugh, buy the harness for your dog.

    I love the quality of the video this camera captures. I did have to trade it in for the model with the screen because I found it was easier to see what I was videoing.

    I wanted a small, portable camera that I could just break out and use. Pros: Good build quality. Good quality video. Easy to get from camera to PC. Cons: getting into the settings was hard. Could never really tell if I was recording video or stills, the interface wasn't intuitive (to me) I should have gone with the larger Hero5 vs the Session, but I didn't want the larger size. I'm sure there are others who love this camera, for good reason. For me, it just didn't work out.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
