    Great camera! Poor setup instructions and useless computer software
    4 Stars
    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 Way Better Than The Hero4 Session 😉👍
    Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2018
    UPDATE May 28th 2021: $729? ... 😳 That's nearly double what it cost when it came out. 🤣 This is a GREAT camera. I purchased one back in Aug 2018. GoPro made a huge mistake not making the Session camera anymore. 🙁 I would have loved to see a new version with a small screen. This camera has everything. Good picture image stabilization good audio external mic input and its waterproof. Can't imagine how much better it would be now had they not dropped it. Yes they can put a tiny screen just like what's on the Pocket. Love the size. They could have improved everything added motion detection night vision and it would be a formidable spy cam. 😉 Bring it back ... but at less than $400. Like half that price. That's when these moved off the shelf.

    This one is so much better than the Hero4 Session. The audio actually works. You can hear good audio and it has an external mic input via the overpriced obtrusive GoPro dongle. It has image stabilization that was missing on the Hero4 Session. It works better than the Hero 5 but not as good as the Hero 6. You can delete files from the cam without having to use their invasive app. But if you want to shut off the LEDs you have to use the app and let GoPro know what you are doing and where you are doing it. If you don't give the permissions it's no go for you. The battery lasts longer but also takes longer to charge. This one only comes with 1 mount as the Session 4 came with 2. One of them being low profile which I use the most. I hope I don't lose it or break it bc I can't find another one anywhere.

    I bought this bc GoPro in their infinite wisdom decided to drop this from their lineup. I was just going to wait for the Hero6 Session but that won't happen now. This camera has huge potential but GoPro priced it too high at launch. Hope they rethink their decision to can this and bring it back with even more improvements and at a good pricepoint of $150 or less. It's a great camera now with 4k and all the improvements.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing If You Set Your Expectations Appropriately!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2018
    I got the GoPro Hero 5 Session with a very specific purpose in mind. I wanted a small form factor action camera that I could use in places that I wouldn't be able to use my other video and photography gear. During the very first shoot I did with this camera I put it through a scenario that probably was a pretty good test for both its ability to survive as well as its low light capability. We did a splatter paint video in the dimly lit bathroom of a hotel in which an artist friend and I were collaborating on projects at. The camera did surprisingly well in lower light situations despite what I've read on other reviews. I definitely recommend using the protune settings and capping your ISO at about 800 if you don't want a ton of grain though. You can always adjust your exposure later in software. But the camera also survived the onslaught of paint we threw over-top of it, as well as the bath we gave it to wash it off after haha.

    But overall I'd say the camera is a great performer for what it is. I wasn't expecting it to be GoPro's best as far as image and audio is concerned, but I was legitimately surprised with how well it did. If you're considering this GoPro with specific needs in mind, then definitely get this one as it won't disappoint you! However, if you're looking for the best GoPro out there in general, you could probably invest a little more money and get something that'll work a bit better for you.
