Tiny & light: 1st class images
This is a great camera. I use it attached to my helmet with the mount included in the box. It's so light you don't even know it's there and the sound/picture quality is excellent. I use it for scenery capture and getting still images.

Over complicated set up!
Good little camera with loads of features and good picture quality. However; I always find the gopro mount system a bit strange and bit of a fiddle, genuine gopro mounts expensive too.
Pros:
- quality picture
- compact
Cons:
- over complicated set up
- no instructions in pack
- extra mounts expensive

Hero 5 Sessions has great aerodynamics for wing mounting!
I was hoping the new Sessions would have less vibration on the wing of my plane and it does! The video looks great and I'm so glad I upgraded to a 4k Hero 5 Sessions camera.

Several times I have tried to use it to on jobs and it pretty much does what it likes
This is a remarkable piece of kit when it's working but it is SOOOO unreliable that I can't really use it for anything involving a client. Several times I have tried to use it to on jobs and it pretty much does what it likes, stops and starts recording randomly missing whole chunks of the action.

Cool toy!
Very cool. My daughters' have had lots of fun at the beach and pool. The software is weak, disappointing that the application isn't as nice.
Pros:
- Easy to manage
Cons:
- Gets a bit hot at timed

Poor quality!
Used four times (and was always well aware it's not made of steel) and then the screw fix holder at the top snaps off! (Was also well aware not to over tighten the bracket during use) Would save your money and look for some other alternative!

Do not buy this product
I bought this camera as a small compact waterproof model and, according to GoPro, a simple to use product. It is absolutely not simple, it is fiddly and the controls are not intuitive.
Cons:
- Fiddly
- Very hard to change settings

Great an fast
This little unit takes amazing photos and videos. My favorite part of it is how fast you are able to use it as a point and shoot camera and I found it to be a lot of fun to take blind photos in angles that I would not have previously tried.
