Review: GoPro Hero5 Session
GoPro Hero5 Session is waterproof up to a depth of 10m and works with the other GoPro mounts, which is good news for existing users

GoPro HERO5 Session
First off I want to say that the review from MuseumGirl is wrong, you don't need a cellphone at all to use this camera. It just makes it easier to change settings, and use as a viewfinder as this doesn't have a built in screen.

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

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.

Overall a great little action camera
I've been using the Hero5 Session for capturing skiing videos and it's been working great. On really cold days I use a waterproof frame to help block the cold air and it helps the battery last longer.

Sable and handy to have
I brought this item for a holiday I am yet to go on, but since then I have found myself using it at family occasions. It's nice to get group photos with everyone without worrying about cutting people out
