    Bought it for hockey, now use it for videos on my dog and will hook it up for a dash cam when in big cities!! Terrific purchase. Holds a charge well. After watching some video tutorials to sort out what I was doing wrong to see through my phone, it works perfectly!!

    Product works well. This is my first device of this type. I wish I had instructions but use became easier over time. Go pro has travelled multiple times and spent time under water. I like the ability to pair to device and download.

    After doing a lot of research I decided to go with this go pro because I didn’t need the screen feature being that when I’m using it I’m not looking at the screen since I have it mounted on something. Great pictures and videos. The app is a must have

    I use this for riding on my motorcycle and I am glad that this is such a nice compact design. It really takes up minimal space, mounted on my helmet, and I recently got into an accident and the 5 Session was helpful to have in my particular case!

    I took the go pro on a recent ski trip to Copper mountain, CO. The button on camera was easy to start and stop recording. The stabilize feature was impressive, considering how choppy the terrain was. A very good feature over other models without it.

    What a great product. Took it on my last two trips out of the country, it came in handy and works amazing. I also have mounted it onto my bicycle as well as my motorcycle, the thing seems to be bulletproof!! it’s a must have.

    Wish I could rate a 5 but when the battery is exhausted then the entire camera is a paperweight. Spend the extra $100 and get the gopro hero5 black with a removable battery. It's got a lot more favorable feature list too

    I found I cannot name the SSID on the 5. That's a mistake. How can I tell what cam it is without being able to name it? All my 4's have a name so I know when I connect what I'm going to see. I may buy more 4's they need to fix that.

    This camera is awesome. I use this almost daily to capture great memories with my family. This is by far the easiest to use of all GoPro devices I own. Their new Quik software makes creating a final product fast and painless.

    This was my very first GoPro, and right out of the box I was ready to record my adventures. It's simplistic design coupled with advanced options makes this a great action camera for novices, and beginners alike.

    Camera is an excellent product. Only gave it three stars due to the fact that the battery can't be removed for replacement when its charge is depleted. In my opinion this limits field usefulness.
