The video quality is excellent. According to reviews the GoPro seems to be way better compared to the GoPro but now that I have it there is absolutely no need for said GoPro. I use it for mountain biking and the battery life averages 2.5 hours which is more than enough for me. You need to update the firmware before first use. I suppose the problems some have had could be because they didn't. I saw in the review that you had to pair it every time you use it, but that's not the case. It connects.
