    The Go Pro Hero 5 Session is a great option where a smaller sized action camera is needed. The digital image stabilization works very well and is a great feature when the camera is not stationary. My only negative is that the battery cannot be removed so the camera must be recharged before a second use but the battery life is about a third longer than any of my other Go Pros. Overall a great value.

    Just make sure to update the firmware when you buy a new one. The battery sucks if not.

    I've had the GoPro a while and still don't know how to use all its features. I still haven't figured out how to set it to the correct date. I've gotten some good video footage in daylight and some not-so-good footage in low light. The GoPro app on the computer is also a little difficult to use for certain things but is also fun to play with if you have time to mess with it.
