GoPro Hero 5 Black
No more bulky plastic shells to protect your GoPro Hero under water. Hero 5 Black is a waterproof action camera down to 10 metres depth.
One of the really cool features is the ability to control the camera using voice commands. For example, you can start and stop the camera using your voice. Tagging the photo or recording using a simple voice command is also possible.
GoPro Hero 5 Black records in 4K format at 30 fps.

The Hero5 Session is much improved compared to its predecessor, adding 4K and 2.7k video modes, as well as various options for frame rates and field-of-view controls. Unfortunately, the battery life isn't great, and with no way to swap in a fresh one (the battery is built in), you'll need to be...

GOPRO HERO5 Action Camcorder - Black
Pros:
- So far it has done everything well - but I have yet to test 'waterproof down to 10m' claim
Cons:
- I have large hands - it is inevitable therefore that loading micro-SD card etc
- is a fiddly operation (for me)
- However that is not the fault of the camera..

GoPro Hero 5 Black
Going on holiday is always the perfect time to test out an action camera such as the GoPro Hero 5 Black. So when I booked in two weeks in Vietnam, I figured it would be opportune to break out what I initially described as GoPro's "best camera to date" for another spin.
Pros:
- Superb image quality
- Effective electronic image stabilisation
- Great microphones
- Waterproof without a case (to 10m
- Additional still image functions
- Improved design
Cons:
- Old batteries incompatible
- No EIS in 4K
- Poor touchscreen responsiveness
