    I was hesitant to purchase the Hero 7 since I already own the Hero 6. I’m glad I did! The hypersmooth stabilization is amazing and it works in 4K 60, something lacking on the Hero 7. Also, the time warp feature is my favorite feature. I highly recommend this camera.

    This camera is amazing, the recordings are very good and the image stabilization is top-notch. The only downside for me is battery life, if you do an activity that last longer than an hour and half, the camera will likely die. So you will need to get spares.

    I absolutely love this camera. I've taken it on several vacations and have used it under water effortlessly. People are very impressed by the quality of the videos and photos that I've taken underwater I would highly recommend this camera for water use

    Purchased so that I can use while on vacation. As others have stated, the batter does die pretty quickly because it gets hot so we purchased another battery for back up purposes. The picture quality is great.

    This was purchased as a gift for my girlfriend, and needless to say, she loves it. Picture quality is amazing. Goes underwater. Overall a great product. You do have to buy a memory stick, and other accessories to experience this to the fullest though.

    Excellent videos for such a small camera and processor size. Don’t except depth of field and other features that bigger cameras have, but to be able to throw it in a pocket and just go places. —Just used it underwater yesterday with great results!! —

    I used the camera while in Hawaii on a Kayak Tour. Picture and sound quality is great. You do need some head or chest accessory straps to hold the camera, I used the head strap and caught action everywhere I looked. My only concern was the battery seems to go down faster than I was told at the store so I recommend getting an extra battery too.

    I bought the GoPro black to mount on my wheelchair so I can take video and pictures when I go places. The video quality is excellent and I can control it via wifi with the app on my iPhone. Battery could be longer, but this camera does a lot for the price.

    Great camera for all types beginners to experts. The 4K is amazing and the voice activated commands are a major plus. The only real Con is the battery life. So make sure you get multiple batteries and have a portable power bank to recharge them on the go.

    The new Hero 7 GoPro is a great addition to our camera collection. We took it to Costa Rica on many adventures: whitewater rafting, zip lining, and rappelling down waterfalls. It performed well. Soaking wet, no problem! Clipping & unclipping onto helmets, no problem!. Linking to the cell phone, no problem! Voice control was easy to use and worked well. The only issue is that someone else had the same camera, so when he turned his on using the voice control, mine came on as well. Battery life could be better.

    Incredible picture and stabilization. Actually helped me show my doctor what my injury was. Voice command is great when on the ski lifts and at the end of a ride. The updated app made it super easy for me to edit my videos on the go on my iPad or at home.

    Over Heating in 11 Minutes

    I purchased this to record my daughters misc. activities as I would be shooting mostly wide shots and a good 4k Sony Camcorder is $1500. The picture quality is great, but the thing gets so hat within 10 minutes of shooting 1080p, 2.7k, or 4k you cannot hold it without a mount, and I have never made it to the 12 minute mark because it gets so hot it stops recording and shuts off. You have to pull the scorching battery made of lava and keep the battery compartment open to get the thing to cool down enough to start recording again. There are many complaints in random forums about this thing turning into a furnace. Shame on me for not doing my research. It is truly waterproof, and it works great for that, so I raised it one star due to that feature.

    Got this GoPro because it is water proof. Haven't used it in the water yet but used it at a pool party and its a great camera. Easy to use and setup, Get the App and everything downloads to it. I will write back after water use.

    This camera is compact and records in great quality, there is lots of adds ons you can get for gorpro. Only downside is that is does not have the best night time video quality and the battery only lasts about 45 minutes. So be sure to buy extra.

    Im pleasantly surprised with this little gem its small and can fit in a pocket and is easy to use. I would advise using it a couple times to get used to it before going on vacation that would just make it easier when you are out and about on your trip.

    Excellent camera. Don’t even try recording in 4k, camera gets way to hot. Tried different batteries, sd cards, updates. It’s just too much for this camera. 1080p at 120fps is the sweet spot for me, but you only get 30-40 min of battery, even on a full charge, and with WiFi turned off.

    This is my first GoPro and I find it very easy to use. The picture and video quality is great. It does a good job of removing the shakes and vibrations even when I have this camera mounted to the handle bars of my Harley. I took off one star because the time stamp on the videos are always wrong even though I have the correct day and time set.

    Overall this is one of the best action cameras! The voice control actually does work and it is pretty handy. It also shoots gorgeous 4K video. I would recommend using the pro tune settings instead of the out-of-the-box default settings when recording video this will really help make your videos pop. The only negative of this device is thebattery
