I will rebuy

I will however repurchase it again soon.

OK camera for a beginner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No as sharp at all I bought 2 of them took back the first one and wanted to try again. GoPro HERO5 Black twice as sharp. The 1080 on the GoPro HERO5 Black is sharper then the 4k on the session 5.

It's a great little camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use it for FPV Mini Kwads for Freestyle and Racing. I had the session for over a month, works every time. One down fall to all GoPro products that you need IOS 11 firmware. I use a IPhone 4, and I can't change my Sessions5 settings.

My son likes the go pro
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son likes the go pro but had to take back because it was freezing on him! Best buy replaced it with a new one! We think it was freezing because of the chip! Haven't returned that yet he is using one from his tablet and it's not freezing anymore!

Nice action camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera to mount and take action video. The live view on my phone is great. Mounted in front of my rear view mirror and actuated with the Reno remote works great without obstructing my view.

Does what I was expecting
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's the old cliche'...you pay for what you get. I might get a higher quality one if I ever want to take on adventure trips, but this one is good for playing around with my kiddo and filming his adventures for us to watch later.

Not the best choice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery is not replaceable; the controls are hard to manage; there is no way to ZOOM or WIDE ANGLE; the audio isn't all that great; granted it's small but just wasn't what I needed

Compact camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only had a chance to use this camera a few times in my backyard. I wish it had a way to zoom closer to small objects like monarch butterflies or hummingbirds. Originally I bought this for when I go fishing to record my catches.

Great little camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The video quality is really good on the camera. We use it when we are the kayak and the stabilization is great. I give it only 4 stars because the power (on/off) function is kind of tricky and the app function/wifi is a pain.

Extremely easy to use high quality action camera.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only issue I had was linking it to my phone. I seemed to have to do a 'new connection' but I have had updates on my iPhone and the GoPro which seem to have remedied the situation.

OVERHEATS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera got so hot that it froze, I had to hard reset it many times and it would randomly shut off. Terrible battery life, spend the extra $100 and get the Hero5 black.
