Nicely Made, Extremely Small & Portable, Great Video Quality, Good Battery Life, Easy to Use
I really love this new smaller edition of the GoPro cameras! First off, the camera feels very well made and doesn’t feel cheap. It has a little weight to it for it’s size, but is still very easy to hold and mount as needed. I was actually very surprised by the overall size of this camera. It definitely looks bigger in photos. This camera comes with a few accessories which are all GoPro branded and feel strong and sturdy. There is no case included with this camera, which isn’t a deal breaker by any means, but something to keep it protected when not in use would have been nice.The camera itself is very easy to use and operate. The built in, bright touch screen really helps with this and is also very responsive and fairly easy to see in direct sunlight. You can also use the app to change settings as needed, too (there aren’t many). The app itself is well designed and also easy to navigate.There are 3 modes to this camera. That’s it. Because of this, it’s great for beginners or for someone who needs quick, easy to use 4K without having to adjust settings, etc. before shooting.The 4K/30 FPS video quality is excellent and honestly, the best I have seen on an action camera at this price point, so far. While filming in 4K/30 the camera does get a little warm, but it hasn’t shut itself off yet, at least for me. The quality of the images is excellent and very clear and crisp. Even low light images aren’t terrible on this camera. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not anything like the day time images, however, for an action camera, it’s really not awful. The built in microphones record good audio for an action camera and is extremely usable for most projects.The electronic image stabilization is excellent and in my opinion, is better then some gimbals. Keep in mind, there is no built in stabilization within the camera. It gets applied when viewed and exported from the app. So each video will need to be “processed” before exporting. To my surprise, this doesn’t take long and it works really well. It’s just another step before the video can used for whatever you might be working on.The battery life on this is pretty good and it really depends on your settings that will determine how long it will last. Filming in the highest setting (4K/30), the more battery this is going to use. They include the newer enduro battery inside which works better in extreme temperatures and provides more shooting time. The battery is built in and cannot be swapped for another battery. It will need to be charged through the camera itself. It doesn’t take too long to charge and can be charged with a power bank while on the go. It can also be used while charging which helps.All things considered, I really like this camera and it is priced quite well for the overall quality it provides. It’s one of those cameras you can just grab and go with. It’s quick and super simple to get high quality 4K video in a pretty lightweight and very small package.

Resolution changes?!?!?
Nowhere can you change the resolution settings to get 1080 by 60 or 4k by 60 and I was told it does that. The battery life gets drained if its on 4k by 30 I was at 70% when I turned it on and about 15 min later it went down to 30%As a content creator this is a very disappointing camera, I love GoPro but do not get this one until they have proper information or updates on it.

Great little action camera
Got this for my boyfriend as a birthday present and he loves it! I don’t think either of us were expecting the quality of picture to be so high, but it was so clear! We like that there’s so many accessory options so he can mount it to whatever he wants. As an unexpected bonus, it’s basically a dashcam for his motorcycle in case anything happens! Value for money seems good just seeing what he’s already gotten out of it.

Camera
Recieved quickly and in excellent condition. It took time to figure out that you need a special sd card to get the camera to work and of course it doesnât come with the camera .After that ordeal everything went smoothly.

Can’t work very well at low temperature (Outdoor skiing)
Overall quality is good. However, the camera seems to be not functioning well at low temperature (Temperature lower than 20F) I can’t even turn it on when I’m skiing at a temperature of (1-10F)

Nice smaller & lighter GoPro camera,
Nice & lighter GoPro Camera for helmets. I needed lighter camera as my old GoPro 9 was too heavy, Same resolution as my GoPro 9 but due to new architecture it car take much large SD card so I can take longer videos. Battery life is about 110 minutes depending on your settings but I have a external battery via USB-C cable to power it longer.Please note please don’t connect the USB-C cable to the camera when you don’t need it as it can drain the camera battery.

would not buy again
the camera works just fine and is easy to use. however because of the ridiculous always on and wifi functionality, which I have not yet found a way to disable, it permanently drains it’s own battery even when off. not only is this pretty inconvenient as I need to charge it every time just before I use it, but it also puts unnecesary charge cycle on a non replacable battery.

Junk! Worked for 1 DAY!
Absolutely garbage. Iâve never seen such a junk product from a âreputableâ company. I powered this thing in for maybe an hour one time to set it up and update it.The next day, I used the camera for MAYBE 2hrs of filming. Tonight, I charged the camera and powered it on. It was at 90% so I said âhm might as well get it to 100%â. So I left it for maybe 10-15min. When I came back to the camera, it was turned off. I tried to turn it on and, nothing. Absolutely nothing Iâve done has made it turn on. I tried holding the button for 10sec, 25sec, over a minute. Iâve tried spamming the power button. I tried charging it for several more hours. Nothing.Absolutely pathetic. The thing canât work for more than 1 DAY! Iâve never seen such junk product quality in my life.I will say, it worked well in the 3 total hours it did work.

La cámara es excelente, el problema es la App de GoPro, te cuesta 2,000 pesos mexicanos y en esta cámara es necesaria para estabilizar el video, no la recomiendo, la app no es gratuita, era fan de GoPro, pero con esto me cambió de marca, hay mejores y con app gratuita.

Una hora me bastó para terminar desesperado. La cámara nunca se puede usar, no se pueden visualizar las fotos/videos desde la app. Pierde la conexión todo el tiempo con la app. Actualicé app y resetée la cámara variar veces y nada. Solo gasté en esto y el flotador. Ya estoy gestionando la devolución de este producto.
