Awesome
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this on a business trip in Arizona and used it to record my trip to Sedona. Only issue is that it turned off ever 15 minutes or so. May be a setting I have to change.

GoPro Hero 5 Session
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little camera. I already have a hero 5 black but needed another for hunting season and had no use for the LCD screen so I got this one. It's GoPro that's all I can say.

Purchased as a Gift
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was purchased as a gift for a family member in Ireland. She loves her new Go Pro. I cannot provide accurate information about how well the features work since I have not used it. Four stars is for her delight.

Good Technology, lousy MMI
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The technology seems to be very good. Everything else sucks IMO. Right from the start. I bought the camera on-line, picked it up, wrapped it and surprised my wife on Christmas morning. Only to discover that it needed a memory card, purchased separately. So her new present was useless. Great way to start. And a pox on you for not saying anything when I ordered the camera, I would reccomend the camera -with a warning about the memory. I also bout the $40 accessory kit which is mostly a waste of money.

Love GoPro
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use the camera to capture the action while skydiving. I use a different mount on my helmet then the sticky ones that come with it but other then that the footage is awesome.

One button, more confusion
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Figuring out what the one on top and one on back do is hard. I don't like the process of connecting it to your phone either. I still haven't figured out when it wants to be connected on wifi vs bluetooth.

Hero session a smart purchase for a 12 yr old
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the Hero 5 Session for my son for Christmas. He has been enjoying the Go Pro so far but has mainly been around the house adventures. I am sure he will find many more uses when the weather improves.

Great form factor. That's pretty much it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the form factor that I can attached to my helmet without much weight added. Other than that, I'm very disappointed with this product. The battery is poor, video is quality is still behind the Sony's, the electronic stabilization is really jagged after a MTB ride. I have to carry and extra pack to charge as it does not last long at all when recording on high settings. I like that it can accept 128GB microsd card and is using USB-C but that still won't charge as fast.

Good Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this camera a lot. I bought this camera along with the more expensive model. I returned the pro model and kept this one due to the quality and that it connected to my phone with no issues.

Awesome camera but the price sucks
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can't beat it. Voice activated and connects seamlessly to iPhone. Only issue is that I Wish it wasn't as expensive as the iPhone for a camera but ohh well.

Great for adventure loving kid
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product that has a decent app for the iPhone. Seems to be fairly well built and tons of accessory items from other suppliers that are significantly less expensive than the brand name.

Small and powerful
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This gopro is just as good as the regular hero IMO. All the functionality of it but hidden away on the app. Makes the housing itself so much more convenient.
