Battery life

WiFi and EIS on
Is predictably short and the camera is not compatible with older batteries. Auto upload feature only works with GoPro's $5/month Plus service. Linear field of view and electronic image stabilization not
The best feature of the Hero5, however, is its price. All the other features seem like natural upgrades that have existed, in some form or fashion, on devices from nearly all of GoPro's competitors and even GoPro's own Hero4 line. But the Hero5 is the fir...

GoPro's Hero 5 is probably the most capable all-round action camera they've produced. For high-end video production, I think I'd prefer the GoPro Hero 4 Black, only because the battery life is a little better, and it has a wider range of 3rd party accesso...

Superb, rugged physical construction, Built-in waterproofing down to 35 feet (10 meters), Excellent 4K video and 12 megapixel still shots, Electronic image stabilization, 2 inch LCD touch screen for easier controls, Multiple video resolutions and reduced
Video color saturation still a bit muted, Battery could use a bit more life, Incompatible with some Hero 4 accessories, Some touchscreen controls are sluggish
It's not perfect and you might consider it a bit pricey but we love the GoPro Hero 5 Black. It's by far the best 4K action camera that GoPro has yet produced, it's easy to use and for serious outdoor action recording, you can hardly do better at this cam...
