I really love this Go pro Hero session. It’s super small and water proof . It takes voice commands. It has a pretty good stabilization system, and did I mention it’s waterproof and very very durable. The image is breathtaking in 4k or high definition 1080. I’m very happy with it. I also enjoy the phone app where I can monitor the pictures. I feel like Batman when I use it with voice commands. It’s really neat.

Very handy camera. Easier to operate with a gopro remote. A user manual would have been useful.

Solid action camera and very easy to use. Mobile phone integration is very convenient. *Note: Don't forget to update the software. My package came and I thought it was a faulty camera but after updating the software, it was working perfectly fine.

Downside is no RAW, Short Battery Life but I love the picture and resolution. Not a bad little action camera. Fun to strap to a backpack and hike with.

I previously had a Hero+LCD but sold it in order to get a newer GoPro. This camera is certainly a step up in terms of picture quality and features. It's very well built and I'm still discovering new features as I use it. I use it largely as a camera on my Phantom 2, and it works wonderfully for that given it's small size and weight. I only have two complaints. The first is that setup was rather difficult. It may have just been my camera, but I had a lot of difficulty formatting the SD card with the camera and updating the software. It took a few hours on GoPro support to resolve the issue. The second complaint is that it can sometimes be buggy when plugging into a computer. It doesn't always connect right away and I occasionally have to unplug and plug back in and fiddle with turning the camera on and off to get it to connect properly. Not sure if this is just my camera. Other than that, it's a great camera. Amazing video quality. I usually shoot in 2.7K30 with image stabilization and linear mode on. I'll attach some sample pictures I've gotten from drone flight. Hopefully they won't be compressed too much. The quality is really amazing. I would definitely recommend!

Have not used it yet because the set up instructions are quite hard to follow. For me, the simpler the instructions the harder they are to follow. I went to YouTube but finally had to put it all away until I have more time.

Bought the camera for my son who likes to mount it to RC vehicles, bikes, skateboards, and the dog! Great image stabilization and perfect form factor and ruggedness. Excellent buying experience.

This is a great multi-use action camera from a well-established brand. I purchased it with ans accessory attachment kit, which provides a ton of options. My only criticism is that the case dividers is only a foam insert and therefore does not stay in place very well.

The camera and quality has exceeded my expectation. Using the time lapse setting I got some great shots during a hike. Still just randomly changing settings to see what happens.

This unit seems solidly built and the reputation is what guided me. Going to pace it out on a ski trip, so excited it's here.

I really love the crisp 1440@60fps quality that little camera delivers. Topping that with a 10ft water-resistance with no extra case - that is a must for snorkeling & scuba diving. Highly recommended! Tip: Make sure you run the software update for the camera to have the latest updates (e.g. Ability to shut down the connectivity which drains battery...)
