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).

100% yes!

New features (touch screen; voice control; waterproof; image stabilization

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.

This camera gives great quality video and images and it is so much easier to use than the 3. `I have used it fishing, swimming/diving and mt. biking. Love it

Aside from the obvious redesign, the new GoPro Hero 5 Black brings a number of new features including voice commands, electronic image stabilisation, a redesigned menu system and updated frame rates.

Best-in-class image quality; waterproofing; clever features

The camera is alright decent. The plastic housing that the camera comes with was poorly made and covers all the mic holes, so it gives it an underwater type of audio. The next issue is the audio on the Hero 5 is great if you sit it down on a table or place it somewhere and leave it alone, but if...

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).

I did quite a bit of researching before my purchase. Before I speak of the cons I'll say it is a great camera and the size is awesome especially since it has the ability to record 4K. I believe it is built well and overall pretty user friendly.

I am very pleased with your monkeys. You've got the second cheapest Hero 5 in the country! I ordered it on Wednesday and went in to pick it up on Thursday morning, and it was there all right.
