I was lucky enough to get the GoPro Hero 5 black as a present and I absolutely love it. Great for capturing our kids in the pool. The photos it takes underwater are so clear, wish I'd brought one earlier. Will be great to take on holidays. No complaints at all.

GoPro really had to step up its game if it wanted to remain at the top of the action cam pile, and the Hero5 Black is a great reminder of why the name is so revered. The camera is simple to use, yet remains a very powerful tool, while the addition of a rear touchscreen, voice control and GPS make it...

Voice-activated camera controls; Improved video and image quality; Easy-to-use range of editing apps; Waterproof to 10m/33ft without a case; Refined design

Doesn't feel as sturdy as previous gen; Touchscreen fiddly to use in the wet; Editing on desktop still clunky

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).

Go Pro has done an excellent job with this camera boasting features such as being able to shoot 4k at 30 fps or 60 at 1080.

GoPro made fans wait a long time for a new model, but the Hero 5 doesn't disappoint. Here's our GoPro Hero 5 Black review. See also: GoPro buyer's guide

GoPro's 4K and HD action cameras are some of the best known devices of their kind on sale today and with good reason. Whatever financial problems the company behind them may be having with its stock prices and profit margins, it never stopped making some damn fine camera technology as far as we've...

Superb; rugged physical construction; Built-in waterproofing down to 35 feet (10 meters; Excellent 4K video and 12 megapixel still shots; Electronic image stabilization; 2 inch LCD touch screen for easier controls; Multiple video resolutions and reduced fish-eye effect

Video color saturation still a bit muted; Battery could use a bit more life; Incompatible with some Hero 4 accessories; Some touchscreen controls are sluggish

If you ask us the GoPro HERO5 Black is the best action camera of 2017. To be clear, there's a lot GoPro could make better on the HERO 5 Black and in certain categories we would prefer other cameras, but overall it is the best one out there.

Up to 4K at 30fps; Image stabilization; Water resistant to 10ATM; Voice commands; LCD touchscreen

Disappointing battery life; Microphone not as good as Hero4; New software can be buggy; Does not float

GoPro Hero 5 has been launched alongside the Karma Grip in India. We decided to test the GoPro Hero 5 Black, along with its entire paraphernalia, including the Karma Grip.

cant go wrong with the voice activation and built water proofing. i came from a Hero (original) and this device is awesome, the pics and videos is amazing. ease of use is fantastic.

First off great deal. Was on sale for $249 when I got it. The case, tripod and dual charger that came with it is $130 alone. Costco didn't send the dual charger initially, but they made it right and sent me an email saying it's on the way. Thanks Costco!
