    The camera is awesome, I'll give it that. I'm not sure why GoPro chooses to use a different charging cable. It would've been a 5 star if they used the standard that they used in the Hero 4 Session, but since they didn't it makes it more of nuisance. I may switch to another brand for my next camera.

    It is not easy to use the app to remote the camera. The app needs about 15~20 seconds to connect the camera. You cannot remote it during taking video, that means you must pre set-up it before use --- for most of situations you need to change something when you taking record. The battery life is not good at all, the first time use, for a fully charged battery it lasts about less than 30 minutes. I charged it less than 10 times, now the battery life is about 20 minutes or even a bit less. I guess it was designed for a short time exploring experience, even not good enough for biking. So now I put it in drawer and to use my Canon digital video camera again.
