    Its a pain to have to reconnect the bluetooth every time you want you use your phone to view what the camera is filming......thought that should be more automated like connecting in a car.

    This was a good camera but the controls were difficult to use. Also it seemed to use an older version of controls than what one would expect. I would recommend this, but with reservations.

    This was for my son. He rides a motorcycle. This will help protect him. It will record footage if he is in an accident or someone cuts him off

    Works great attached to your strap of your backpack for cycling and hiking. Able to keep your hands free while rock climbing/scrambling. Very good!

    This camera is awesome, however if times goes back, I would buy the gopro 5, not the session, because you can replace your battery, and see the photos

    Took this camera on vacation with me and it came in clutch. Took it underwater, through mud and even in a cave. It captured everything.

    This GoPro Hero 5 Session is a great camera for any activity! I still have so much to learn to get the most of it but I like what I see so far.

    Well it's a camera that records up to 2 hours. It works for dash cam in loop mode but tagging and saving are a chore. The interface between cam and phone should be easier.

    I had an older model GoPro Hero 3 and was looking to upgrade. Keep in mind the Hero 5 Sessions doesn't have all the options of the Hero 5.

    Definitely glad I went for the session version. Didn't need the LCD display when I can connect to my phone and watch my videos instantly.

    I use this camera in an industrial setting. It enables access to areas of a manufacturing process that people cannot otherwise see.
