Review on Optimized GoPro HERO5 Session Holiday Bundle Package by Jeff Westra

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great, small, compact and easy to use action camera

I've never owned a GoPro because of the overpriced products and their complexity (a lot of space in a small camera). I received this offer with an SD card and headband that came in the original sealed packaging. Buy it from Revain, not a third party. I like this camera because it is compact and very easy to use. You don't need a touchscreen, you can make the most important settings on the built-in display. If you need to make further changes, you can do so through the app. It's true that the Session's battery is weak, but you can make sure it lasts long enough by disabling Wi-Fi and voice commands. Heats up when communicating with the application when Wi-Fi is on. You don't have to turn on Wi-Fi all the time, just turn it on when you need to change some settings or check the camera angle. Some first accessories I would recommend: ) - Suction cup - Lens protector (tempered glass with water repellency) Get all the original GoPros. They are really well built and you can trust them for combat use. Some problems/problems I've encountered so far: - There is some wind noise when recording, but this is not a professional audio recording device. If you're looking for cinema quality, look elsewhere and expect to spend a lot more. Starting the application takes much longer when there is no internet connection. This can be an issue when traveling to areas where there is no cellular signal. After a few tries I managed to open it. Aside from those two issues, Session5 worked great. This camera is intended for recreational use. If you plan on using it for professional use, I would recommend the Hero6 or some other high-end handheld camera.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled
