    Simple to use, great vid quality and the image stabilization works! Only down fall is battery life, especially when using wifi to connect it to iPhone app, it does recharge fast though. Voice commands are so convenient.

    Easy to carry around and not feel like everyone is looking at you for using a camera. Fits in the pocket easily and takes good video during the day. Not really recommended for low light shooting.

    The GoPro session 5 camera is a very versatile little action cam that takes great videos and photos. The ease of use is also a plus for beginners and pros. Very light weight and endless connection uses.

    I love the stabilization and 4k video. The feature serves this great with this camera. What could be better is the battery life and low light filming.

    My 13 year old uses this frequently and has no problem with it. He took great underwater pictures on our cruise. He learned quickly how to use its functions. Size is easy to hold and carry.

    I went from the hero 3 black to the session 5 and love it, videos are super crisp and the stabilization is solid. I use it for mountain biking and considered a gymbal but don't think ill need it anymore. The 10mp camera is good but not great, but i use it for videos anyways so im happy.

    This is a nice little camera the battery lasts a good amount of time picture and sound are great the only thing I wish they had better off was an interface. The one button interface makes it very difficult to select the options I'd like to use they do offer an app for your smartphone so that does help a little bit. I would buy again

    Small but powerful little camera. Great addition to the Go Pro line! Does 4k and responds to voice for simple commands.. Best part is that it is water proof up to 10m.

    We mostly use this to record our snowmobile adventures. The first day out it was about 25 deg. The camera actually would not even turn on after about 15 minutes of riding before activating. After warming inside of my coat for a bit it fired up with full battery. 5 minutes into the ride it was dead again. Features were great, size was extremely convenient, Bluetooth operation was smooth and the video quality was great. But it just does not work in cold weather.

    The Hero Session 5 is very nice. Obviously super small and convenient to carry. The video quality is VERY nice. It is great that this model supports field of view modes of Narrow, Medium, Wide and the new Linear - in a variety of video resolutions.

    So far so good. It's got a great picture and the voice control is awesome. I give it 4 stars because the battery life could be better. You have to turn off voice control to have it last longer.

    It's a great action camera it's only 1.5 inches and shoots great video. Only thing is that there isn't a interchangeable battery, battery lasts long enough to record a decent amount.

    I picked up three of these for a couple carpool karaoke style shoots. I'v used them several times now and I'm happy with the purchase. I can get a few hours of 1080p footage on 64GB cards, and a couple hours of battery life.

    The camera was purchased as a gift. However, my experience with other GoPro equipment has been outstanding, so I would expect the same in this case. I really like the smaller size of this camera.
