The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

Be sure to install a protective glass on the lens. Accidentally fell from the table onto the asphalt from 70 cm - the glass on the lens broke. Fortunately, it was protective. Changed it and it's like new.
In general, the impressions are positive, despite the voluminous description of the minuses. Yes, there are drawbacks, but they are being worked on as technology improves. For my tasks: cycling, cross-country skiing, running - enough with my head. Even on a bicycle I use it as a DVR. At night, when illuminated, at least from a good headlight, it copes - it is clear on the video what is happening. And if there are street lights, then it’s generally great.

Pros

Good stabilization, high quality picture. Voice control helps when your hands are busy. To better understand the advantages - it's worth watching video examples from it, as well as a comparison with other cameras.

Cons

After turning it on through QuickCapture and then turning it off, a glitch sometimes occurs: subsequent button presses do not turn on the camera. You need to remove the battery and install it again. After that it works like before. Doesn't always hear the voice. And sometimes it turns on by itself (as if it hears something similar to "GoPro, turn on", but nothing close to this phrase was said). At temperatures below 0 °C, the battery freezes. If the camera was turned on, being warm, then it will work for half an hour - 40 minutes. For a cold 5 minutes, no more. In the aquabox, I think it will work longer. The sensor on the screen is dull - that's really annoying. It is not always possible to quickly change settings.
