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.

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.

Fiddly; Very hard to change settings

Small & compact easy amd light to carry around

Microphone quality

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

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.

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.

The Hero5 Session cuts down on size and weight, without sacrificing video quality.

Great design; Fast; responsive app; Digital image stabilization; 4K resolution; Waterproof to 33 feet without a case

Aggressive wind cancelling lowers audio quality; 4K difference not always noticeable; No removable battery

The GoPro Hero 5 Session may look the same as its predecessor, but it now boasts 4k image quality, voice control, video stabilisation and a USB-C connection, as well as updated and increased frame rates and resolutions.

Very good image quality; low weight; tiny size; simple usability

Poor cold-weather performance; unrefined image stabilisation

The product is flawless, I've been using it for almost 4 months and it's brilliant.

Bought the Hero 5 Session for an off-road motorcycle helmet mount. Camera is super easy to use and takes amazing video. No 4K image stabilization so Ive only used 2.7K and 1080p which both look super clear and very smooth.
