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.

GoPro is known for its toughness, but this thing is not. I put this camera facing backwards on my motorcycle, and the screen cracked. I had another session 5 crack on my bike a few months ago whilst mounted on the front. So that is 2 cracked screens in so many months.
GoPro Hero 5 Black Action Camera 4K Video, Waterproof Design (10M), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, 2" Touch Display
Great little camera. Image stablization works really well if you mountain bike. Battery life isnt that great
Pocket sized dynamite
The camera is outstanding.Being my first gopro5 i love how it gave me such an Wide angle view maybe i was expecting the picture quality to be better but thats the best you get in a Action cam packed with many other features.voice commands are awesome.
So much easier
This camera gives great quality video and images and it is so much easier to use than the 3. `I have used it fishing, swimming/diving and mt. biking. Love it
Buyer Beware
Item was received in a timely fashion. However, the packaging is in poor condition. The top portion (plastic casing) has dozens of scratches on all sides. It looks like it was used as a hockey puck (see picture below).
I purchased the GoPro looking for a decent 1080p 60fps picture with some decent options for a standard aspect. The camera fps was only available in certain resolutions/aspects and not across the board. This meant that I could require 60fps but at 1080p it was only available if I used fisheye.
GoPro Hero5 Black In-Depth Review
While many lamented that GoPro took two years to get to this post, I agree with GoPro CEO's statement that this was the GoPro version that they always wanted to make. The GoPro Hero5 is without question the best GoPro out there. Period.
We use a lot of GoPros here at Gizmodo. We use them to shoot timelapse battery tests for phones and 360 degree videos of multibillion dollar transit hubs and test runs of quarter million dollar cars on a dirt track.
GoPro Hero5 Black Review
Just early last week, GoPro held its event here in the Philippines where they showed off the new Hero5 Black , Hero5 Session, and Karma drone . We pre-ordered the flagship model and bought it the first chance we got. Today, we share our thoughts on it.- Compact body
- Display has good outdoor visibility
- Touchscreen is convenient
- Voice commands could come in handy
- Effective wind-noise cancellation
- Linear FOV
- Great image stabilization
- Broadcast-quality images
- Device heats up during long periods of recording
- Unit has light leaks on its display
- Loading time to open gallery takes long
GoPro HERO5 Black hands-on review
It's not just filming that's easier with the Hero5. The whole thing is cloud-connected, so it'll automatically upload all your clips and pics whenever you hook up a USB Type-C cable to recharge it. Sure, you can transfer everything manually to a smartphone, tablet, Mac or PC, but why bother when the Hero5 handles all that for you? GoPro's Quik apps do a brilliant job of editing your footage together on the move, too - so you can start trimming on the ski lift and have a video ready for Facebook before you've even made it back to the lodge. The Hero5 looks lik the whole package, then. Based on the few short hours we've spent with one, we're guessing it's going to be responsible for a fair few death-defying YouTube clips and sports films once it goes on sale. We've now got one in the Stuff office to properly test out, so stand by for a full review. Buy the GoPro Hero5 Black here from Amazon
