Best if used frequently, I can't seem to put it down. I will be using it often for many applications , flogging, vacation videos, studio recording with external sterio mic...etc... PS: also can be used for action clips/shots..e??? Hence the term, (ACTION CAMERA).

Two years on from the launch of the Hero 4, GoPro's latest action camera, called the Hero 5, is now on sale. While keeping the camera itself largely unchanged, GoPro has added key features like waterproofing, voice controls, video stabilisation and a touch screen to make this the biggest update in...

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

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

Right out of the store my GoPro Hero5 Black impressed me with its smooth capture and simplicity. I traditionally am a big camera photographer and enjoy the process of preparation and skill. However, the GoPro Hero5 allows for swift operation and the quality is uncompromising.

This is my 3rd GoPro, my first was a very early version and is still being used, but you have to download to the computer and this is time consuming. My second has been lost, GoPro4.

I was so excited to be able to start recording all the things I love to do car audio and professional fireworks displays. I bought this GoPro back in January and just started using it last month as car audio season started up.

Good when it works

I will have missed over a $100,000 in videos by the end of this week because of this camera; Words cant describe how upset I am
