    This thing is pretty awesome the fisheye feature, 4K, slow motion, all of it. The battery life does kind of blow also it dies down pretty quick if you use it on higher resolutions.

    Doesn't get any better than getting the camera plus extras and only paying the same price for the camera. Has everything you need to get started. Camera is amazing. The headstrap is snug and doesn't slide around. Very happy with my purchase.

    Amazing product in such a little case. Bought for my daughter to take snowboarding and the video is just like being there. Can't wait for her next trip up the slopes. Should have bought this so much sooner.

    This camera has incredible 4K 60fps video quality. The new hyper smooth 2.0 on this camera will make your footage look exceptionally smooth in any situation. Never owned a GoPro before but my expectations were exceeded with this camera.

    I bought the Open Box Excellent condition Holiday Bundle at a great price. I would have bought it a full price if the open box had not been available. Great action camera and the bundle makes it a great deal.

    This was a gift for my boyfriend for Christmas and needless to say he’s in love with it. It’s the best camera for action shots and still video taping even if you’re on a bumpy road or bike. Such a good Camera!

    Easy to use right from the start. The iPhone app and easy publishing were fun to use right away. I'm still learning how to vlog and live stream, but those will come with time. It's also very good for live streaming.

    I had a GoPro Hero 4. I had a trip planned that I wanted the best camera gear to capture. I decided to upgrade my old GoPro and went with the Hero 8. I was not disappointed. The features of the new GoPro are fantastic!

    I absolutely love my GoPro Hero 8. It is SO much fun. I'm able to get some awesome pics & fantastic videos. The only real negative about it, the battery life is horrible. So get the PKG that comes with an extra battery. Or buy an extra one. Other than that, I'm soooo glad I got it.

    I love everything about this GoPro. So happy with the purchase. I can control it with an app and it has the new stabilizing function that makes it seem like it floats instead of jotting around. It’s amazing.
