    Small and has a more niche use I suppose. Make sure you know your trade-offs when comparing this with a full version (e.g. screen).

    This is the action cam you buy if you want something compact, but don't care about the lack of a removable battery

    Gets the job done, battery life is about 1hr for 4k recording. Just don't leave it out open in cold air when skiing

    I read the reviews online, and was excited about my first GoPro, but I can only give it 3 stars. The GoPro session lives up to its expectations on video recording, so I was happy about that, but like the reviews say if you don't want to be constantly charging it, fork out the extra money and get the regular GoPro, with an extra battery. Like I said the video was great, but for my applications it wasn't a functional choice. Maybe for some people it would work.
