    Great camera! Poor setup instructions and useless computer software
    I was all excited to purchase my first GoPro. That quickly evaporated once I realized how poorly the initial setup was documented by GoPro.Besides the camera, the box also contained the following (as diagramed on the side of the box):• frame, thumbscrew, and mounting buckle• 2 sticker mounts (flat and curved)• 1 short USB-c charger• an Important Product + Safety Instructions booklet• a 'You Break it, We Replace It' GoPro Care advertisement• 2 GoPro stickersI also purchased a generic connection/mount kit and dog harness along with a 64GB SanDisk microSD card (listed as compatible on the GoPro website). Added about $60 to the cost of the camera.The "You Break It, We Replace It" card opens up to a Quick Start guide that outlines the following:1) download the GoPro app to your cellphone2) remove the camera from the case3) insert the SD card4) charge the battery5) press the button on the top of the camera to take a video.Started to charge the battery using in the USB cable to my computer. It would be nice to include on the Quick Start Guide approx. how long it takes to fully change the battery * , along with what type of wall charger GoPro recommends ** . Adding instructions for getting the User's Guide should also be included on the Quick Start Guide.The "Important Product + Safety Instruction" booklet consists of 42 pages of the smallest, ink saving font available so that the text is hard to read. There are 5 pages of warnings in English. The first warning outlines where to download the User's Guide. Things got so much easier once I downloaded the User's Guide. Read the 'Getting Started' section and it outlined everything I needed to know for base functionality (outlining parts of the camera, what the screen information means, etc).Using the camera, I'm averaging about 1 1/2 hours of battery life when taking short videos (under 5 minutes at 1080) and photos (at about 7 MB/picture). Could have purchased a 32GB card, since the battery doesn't last long enough to store that much media. Great looking photos and videos. I've been using the cellphone app as a viewfinder when setting up the camera for fixed position videos and photos. Used the camera to document my beehive inspection and the voice commands worked great (cropped out some of the attached photo, should have positioned the camera closer).GoPro Quik software on the computer makes it easy to transfer files to your computer but the video editing is very limited and I will probably use different software.GoPro really should include pages 6-10 of the User's Guide in the box, since it is basic functionality needed to use the camera. A laminated card for voice commands would be helpful as well. Because of the way GoPro formatted the User's Guide, it's hard to print a double-sided booklet to take along with the camera.Also, it's much easier to set up your account and device on a computer through GoPro's website than using the app. You must have an account and link your camera to your account to use the cellphone app. When setting up your account, remember GoPro only allows you to change your username once.*: From the User's Guide, the battery should be fully charged in about 2 hours (wall charger) up to 4 hours (computer USB port).**: From GoPro help articles, for charging the battery using a wall charger they recommend outputs of 5V 2A (ideal), or 5V 1A (minimum).

    5.0 out of 5 stars upgrade from 3 star to 5 star: be sure to use a recommended SD card
    Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2017
    Style: GoProVerified Purchase
    Ok, I might fix the issue.

    I have been using a class 10 SD card (sandisk ultra plus), but it is not extreme family, and not an recommended list for Gopro.

    After having problems on 4 different GoPro and 3 different SD cards, I started to realize that there must be some other reasons and started to research on line, and most popular answer is SD card compatibility issue.

    After switching to a sandisk extreme, the response did get faster, and so far no SD issue any more.

    ==========original review==============
    I chose session5 over hero5 because my kid is trying to play with anything with a LED screen, so session5 is ideal for my case.

    The video quality is nice, perfect for beach vocation. The voice control is good for video, but the response is too slow for pic, so you need to hold your smile for a while after voice command. I don't really care, since I don't usually use it in order to extend the battery life.

    However, the quality of this product is terrible. I am requesting my 4th right now, and it is the last chance I will give to this product.
    1st one: card reader issue. I tried several cards, and randomly I would get SD card error and asked me to format the card. The issue can be fixed by taking card out and re-insert, or formating the card, but this is usually not an option when you are in the pool. Requested for replacement.

    2nd one: works fine for 3 weeks and I used it a lot on a trip to Hawaii. One day, after the charge, it is just dead w/o any reason. Can't turn on. Requested for replacement.

    3rd one: I tested it Day 1 I got it, no issue. Today card reader goes bad again. Requsted for 4th one, and last one.

    I tried all those cards on my canon 5d3, and none of them gave error there, so I think it is GoPro's issue.

    My friend has a HERO5, and so far it is good. Not sure if this is only a session5 issue. Very frustrated.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2018
    Style: GoProVerified Purchase
    Amazing little camera in the palm of your hand. It's my first GoPro, and I love how simple it is to use. One tap of the button on top starts recording in the default mode. By going through the menu, you may switch it to take pictures instead at a tap. At the price range it has been in, I dont think there's a better alternative in video quality.

    The design is simple and impressive, build quality seems great, and paired with decent accessories, such as a tripod, stick, or chest mount, you can of course have some great videos. Get a good case to protect it as well. it can be easy to misplace it if your clumsy. As for water, be careful. Make sure the casing is closed properly.

    Batteries cannot be switched out on this model. Plan accordingly, or miss out on great footage.

    The only issue I have with this product may be more Apple related, but I will mention it in case someone needs help. My problem was i couldn't get GoPro videos to play in the ipad. I used a microsd adapter and the Apple sd card reader cable to move fresh videos over to the ipad. They would transfer, but not play. bummer. The workaround i found, is to upload Go Pro vidoes to a pc, then to a cloud storage, and then download to your ipad. Not ideal for travel, but the current solution for myself.

    Product Description
    GoPro Hero5 Session is a high definition video recording device that is waterproof. There are currently three different versions of camera along the Hero series while the Hero5 Session is considered a mid-range camera with a reasonable price compare to its counterpart. This camera is highly portable due to its small size and weight. This camera is now more powerful compared to its previous version because it has many features such as voice control, video stabilization, advanced wind noise reduction, waterproof, and it can shoot up to 4k resolution at 30 fps. It can also connect to smartphone through an official GoPro app wirelessly.

    Ideal User
    This camera is suitable for people who love to go outdoors and want to capture every moment in crystal clear 4k resolution at 30 fps. Extreme sport enthusiast who like surfing, diving, skydiving, motorsports and paragliding will love this product. Besides, this product is also extremely suitable for travelers like drivers and hitchhikers due to its flexibility and hand-free feature. Furthermore, it is not only suitable for taking pictures and videos for extreme sports, but it also good for capturing family activities such as picnic or birthday parties.

    Ease of Use
    I brought this camera one week before my summer trip, there is a learning curve, but it only took me an hour to learn how to use it. The one-button simplicity feature shortens the learning curve; hence, it is best for beginner user like myself. Also, it comes with an official GoPro app that enable users to connect to the camera via Bluetooth, which in my opinion, is very convenient since users can manage the camera storage with ease.

    Advantages
    The camera itself is waterproof up to 20 feet, so there is no necessity for external case. Video stabilizing is another GoPro feature that outperform other cameras. It allows users to steadily record and take picture in some extreme situation such as skydiving and other extreme sports.
    Given the extreme conditions where the pictures or video were taken, GoPro 4K resolution will ensure that the quality of the pictures and videos were met. It works perfectly well in not just shaky conditions but also places with limited light intensity because of its diverse settings and filters.

    Overall
    This Camera is one of the best Camera I have owned so far. Its awesome features, size and user-friendly design did not fail my expectations. It allows photographers to snap pictures and record videos with perfect resolution. GoPro definitely provides an experience that no other camera does.

    Es economico y ejerce su funcion pero las teclas son de goma y no tienen mucha sensibilidad. Respecto a la cruceta para moverte por los menus hay que ejercer mucha presion en las teclas. Las señales de rebote no llegan al tv y si hay objeto entre la tv y el mando no llega la señal. El boton de control por voz es de adorno y no funciona.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Una delle migliori Go Pro
    Reviewed in Italy on September 12, 2019
    Style: GoProVerified Purchase
    La Go Pro Hero 5 Session è estremamente versatile, risulta più piccola rispetto alle altre action cam, questo la rende più tascabile, maneggevole e meno ingombrante: una vera e propria action cam. La memoria esterna è, certo, un costo aggiuntivo, ma lascia più spazio per soddisfare le esigenze di ogni tipo. Per quanto non abbia un display effettivo non è difficile impostare la Go Pro, è spiegato bene pure nelle istruzioni. Tramite l’apposita App è possibile collegarla direttamente al telefono e vedere le immagini in tempo reale oltre che visualizzare i file già creati e impostare la fotocamera.
    Le foto non escono male anche se da il meglio di se con i video, oltre che avere vasta scelta di qualità e FPS.
    La sua unica pecca, forse, è la batteria, non essendo nemmeno estraibile senza metterci mano con strumenti, ma è in grado di arrivare a registrare anche 40 minuti.
    Arrivata nei tempi prestabiliti, per quanto non dipenda dai venditore o Amazon.
    Il prodotto è arrivato in condizioni perfette.

    This is an amazing starter GoPro, it has a good range of filming modes and is definitely worth the money.
    The battery life isn’t the best and this factor is further brought down by the lack of removable batteries. However, the camera is perfect for a throw in your bag and go situation. The small size is perfect for travelling and means that accessories and mounts also take up less space.
    The picture quality is good below 4K, but once in 4K contrast and stability begins to drop along with battery life.
    Overall, considering it’s cheaper price in comparison to other GoPro’s and other action cameras this is a great device and is perfect for family holidays and beach trips.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente cámara de acción
    Reviewed in Mexico on July 17, 2017
    Style: GoProVerified Purchase
    Preferí la Hero5 Session sobre su tradicional Hero (5), porque queria algo más pequeño. La cámara funciona muy bien: graba en 4K y tiene 10 MP para las fotografías. Tiene muchos modos para que puedas intentar diferentes estilos de fotografía y video; además de que es contra agua. Hecha de materiales resistentes y con cable USB C, tiene buena tecnología integrada en una pequeña cámara de acción.

    Lo único malo, como cualquier cámara de acción, es que no funciona muy bien de noche, aún con el modo nocturno. También, los accesorios oficiales de GoPro suelen ser sobrevaluados.

    La recomiendo ampliamente para viajes, videos extremos o simplemente si son aficonados a la fotografía y video.
