Works great! Good image quality, lightweight, you can use where you want. Important! When i updated, its fck'd up, battery always getting low energy and its HOT. But! I did a factory reset and now everything is ok. So just DO NOT UPDATE IT. UPDATE IS BAD. :)

So I got one of these with the intention of using it on my motorbike helmet, in my car and hand held during various different types of events. Ultimately, I'm a little disappointed. Motorbike: while attached to my helmet, using a bunch of extra pieces I had to buy in order to get it positioned properly, I came across my first issue. Sound. The microphone on the device (unsurprisingly) picks up little else other than wind noise. I had initially intended to combat this by using a bluetooth microphone, however GoPro haven't included this feature. You can wirelessly link to your phone for media playback, live view and cloud upload but that's it. So my alternative option was to buy the extremely expensive and terrible external mic adapter. This brick of a device enables you to connect a 3.5mm jack microphone to the camera. However it's large size, small cable, and the fact it reduces all waterproof to 0 means it kinda sucks and feels like an after thought feature that no one in development was actually that interested in designing. On top of this, IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK. There is a special method to getting it to record sound which involves something like turning the camera on with the external adapter plugged in but not the mic, then plug the mic in when you are ready to start recording, make sure the small screen on the camera is lit up, press record and you should get sound. I tried is and a few other variations before I lost a total of nearly 12 hours worth of footage (over 5 attempts and several days) where I was talking about the areas I was riding through such as the peak district but all sound was removed from the video. No voice, no engine, not even any wind. Car: so in my car I used another attachment I purchased to put the camera on the passenger seat headrest, giving the viewer a passengers perspective. The video is great but the sound still sucks. The roar of my cars engine and road noise (It's a Mazda cx-3, not exactly high on the DB counter!) Still beat my voice in clarity, and I had to tall quite loudly to be heard over it. You can adjust the noise a bit in editing but from the attempts I tried my voice was very flat, lacking bass and basically made me sound like Kermit the frog. I'm fairness, I didn't spend long toying with this, maybe an hour of different settings. Hand held: this is where the device actually has use. It's small size and lightweight design makes it easy to walk around with and shoot things you are looking at, or use it on a selfie stick to record yourself while being mobile etc. The sound in natural outdoors isn't too bad but if you are close to a busy road be prepared to spend some time editing the audio in post. As with the other attempts, the video is superb. I always filmed in 1080p at various FPS as I have almost no use for anything higher. I have a 4K tv but most of what I want to show will be on things like FB, YouTube etc where most devices that use these are HD only. The image stability seems to work, and the only downside to using the camera like this is the 90-100 minute recording time on a fixed battery. I beat this by also carrying an external power pack and plugging it in for boosts now and then, which just means carrying around another device and cable (and of course eliminates it's waterproof rating) So to sum up; if you want a good camera you can use as a simple dash cam with great video quality, or to record things where audio isn't such an issue in louder environments, this camera will be a great one to consider. If you want to do things more along the lines of motovlogging or require to be heard from a distance greater than 2 feet, you may want to look elsewhereRead full review

Is small, good and you can record evewhere everything with you want. Very easy to keep in jacket or pocket . Battery life is all right . But if you want record long video around more than 4 hours easly plug in to power bank. Easy and not complicated. Happy with this item a lot.
