Totally fun and 4k video is UNREAL!
You only live once so GET ONE!
----
Update: Been using for over 1 month almost non-stop. And, forgot to mention; I had this camera attached to the bodi-floaty all day long, floating in water without any case what-so-ever and did that for 7 days straight. Totally waterproof out of the box. I have been posting vids online and editing on the gopro cloud (too easy) and everyone loves the vid's/images. Actually had a relative think we hired someone to shoot vids of our condo lol.
I went straight for the Samsung Pro Plus 128GB MicroSDXC Memory Card and it works flawlessly and holds TONS of video in 4K.
-----last update for newbies like me that don't know what else to order or what they might need. I got lucky as all of the addons I bought worked out excellent. Take a look and maybe this will help you pick a handy accessory:
start----

My new memory came in and works perfect. Different model than my first 128gb but I see no difference other than price.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DOB6YUQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My addons - took with me on the trip.
1) Extra Thumbscrews: Perfect fit and look cool in alloy purple. Nice rubber washer on each one too for snug fit -> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CUAEOJ6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
2) First 128gb mem I bought works perfect. Tried a new brand (up top) for the hell of it. Can’t tell the difference between either – both work just fine and store major amounts of movies and/or a billion images. -> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CO48M36/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
3) 2 extra batteries kit. Identical to the stock GoPro Batteries and last all day doing scuba and taking shots. Never left the recorder going for more than 15 mins at 4k so cant say exactly how long you will get out of these but I easily recorded over 1 hours worth of 4k movies with images tossed in. -> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWKCIQN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
4) Floaty was awesome. Keeps the camera boyant if you drop it under water and does not get in the way of shooting at all. Easy to see and fit perfect. Looks cool too. -> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ETXS4MO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1
5) Dual charger for my 3 batteries. Works fast charging two at a time in about 1 hour. No problems and shows green light when batts are charged. Small and fits nice in my accessory bag -> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ETXS4MO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1
6) Perfect accessory bag fits everything and more. Mine is packed! Small slots for mem, all my batteries, charger and cables. Holds my floaty, my short gopro stick (the fat one that comes with the accessory kits) and my extended type selfie stick. Nice and light and zips up. Good quality. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PMMB4X8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s09?ie=UTF8&psc=1
7) Not really a gopro accessory but if you are going snorkeling you MUST get one of these. We had them sucked to our face for a week and got some awesome underwater footage of kids and fish that look like ‘finding nemo’ movie. Try them out – they are awesome. Not cheap $$ wise but I sent so much on crap for my trip that I said what the hell, just do it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K3Q16AI/ref=od_aui_detailpages02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
9) Lastly, this kit has more crap in it than you can imagine. I don’t know what half of the parts are for but maybe someday I’ll have a need and reach in the bag to figure out what to do with what. The floaty stick in this kit is good for snorkeling. The selfie sticks are too skinny and both of mine are metal so I didn’t want to take them underwater. The fat floaty stick in the kit compliments the bodi floaty (above) and again, looks totally cool. A few of my thumbscrews wound up rusty after 2 days in the saltwater and I cant remember if they were the ones that came with this kit or what. Either way, get some extra thumbscrews – longer the better. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PLBXUMS/ref=od_aui_detailpages05?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thats it!

Thats it!
The main selling feature for me is the image stabilization and GPS for telemetry overlay in the video. I did a quick test in my car and the overlay feature is nice as it will show my speed, G force, and all the other good stuff. I plan to use this for my motorcycle rides through the canyon. I can see the electronic image stabilization working on the video play back. Seems like I'm using a 3 axis gimbal which is cool. I think it actually electronically stabilizes all 3 axis (pitch, roll, and pan). It seems to work pretty good on my car test shot, but not sure how well the image stabilization works when holding the GoPro hand held or using it on a motorcycle which has more vibrations.
The cons about the newer GoPro 5 Black:
1. The built in mic sucks. Audio sounds really muffled and not clear like my GoPro 4 black. Probably due to the water proof design. It sounds very similar to using a GoPro in a full waterproof case.
2. You can no longer plug in an external mic directly and need to use an expensive adaptor. This sucks as you can only use the adaptor that GoPro sells and this is not cheap and adds more stuff just to use an external mic.
3. The screen is required to access the main settings. You can still change the camera settings without the screen, but not able to change the other settings such as WiFi, GPS, and other things like the previous GoPro models. I have to remove my motorcycle gloves to use the touch screen. Also I heard the touch screen doesnt' work under which I haven't tested yet.
4. The GoPro 5 Black is advertised as waterproof, but I'm not going to take that chance without using a real waterproof case. Ive read some reports from other people that their camera lens fogged up when using the GoPro in water or water got inside and fired their GoPro. GoPro doesn't cover water damages. Too much money to test out so purchasing the insurance may be a good option if you going to use the GoPro around water.
Overal I give this GoPro a 5 Star rating because it does exactly what I expected. There are other sellers selling refurbished ones for cheaper but I choose to buy new as I wanted to have the best and not a second hand unit. Also can't bet Amazon's same day shipping for dirt cheap and saved me the time of having to go to the retail store out of my busy schedule to buy one.
The batter is quite good, about 1 to 1.5 hours depending upon what settings are being used. Charges in a couple hours or so. Good idea to get an extra battery so you don't have to wait for the one battery to charge before continuing to take videos or photos.
I particularly like the ease and convenience of the Quick Capture Feature, even though the camera sometimes freezes up when using Quick Capture with 2.7 or 4K, which could be expected with some of the other limitations with the way 2.7 & 4K consumes large amounts of system resources.
Although the sound quality is not bad with its 3 built in mics, even when using the wind filter, this camera is not made particularly with good quality sound in mind. It is made with the idea of using the camera when flying off a mountain in your wing suit, sky diving or keeping the camera dry under water. As an engineer I can attest that this is a very rugged and durable camera, which just might survive the impact, even if the guy in the wing suit does not. So if you are looking for good sound, most likely voice sound, it's a good idea to get the external mic adapter for the $50 in order to get the best voice audio.
As rugged and durable as this camera is for a lot of very active outdoor use, you might be like me, someone who has lived out maybe 15 or 20 of his 9 lives, and do find it also very nice for just making videos indoors or out around the home. The many features and settings are fun to become familiar with and use. Overall I'm quite happy with the GoPro Hero 5 Black
Top reviews from other countries
Fa sia foto che video, è impermeabile anche senza case subacqueo, anche se io l'ho utilizzato sempre per sicurezza.
12 megapixel, e video ad un massimo di 4 k 30 fps.
La stabilizzazione non è delle migliori e rovina leggermente la qualità del video.
Se uno vuole lanciarsi sulle action cam e ha una buona disponibilità economica, consiglio di acquistare la gopro hero 6 black oppure la gopro hero 7 black.
Il campo visivo è superview , ampio, medio o lineare.
Si possono anche vedere i video e le foto fatte e sentirne l'audio.
Nel complesso una buona action cam che resiste ancora bene sul mercato.
