GoPro HERO5 Black: Waterproof Action Camera with 4K HD Video

Amazon Customer: No housing in the package. Can't use till I find one.

Amazon Customer: Been wanting an actual gopro for years, finally bought this one. For a 5th generation with the 10s out now. It still rocks the video. Has all the features I wanted, with none of the ones I didn't. Might buy another for a backup. Or for different angle. Don't see what the bad reviews were saying. This thing is fantastic. Especially being renewed.

Sanjeev Tiwari: Good but battery life poor

Vance Jochim: I didn't need the latest model and bought this used on eBay in 2020. The newest model is up to 11 I think. I had to get new batteries. The user interface is confusing compared to normal digital cameras and camcorders, so allow time to figure out the menus. I still can't remember which does what, so download instructions on your phone or tablet and carry with you. I had to buy a kit of all the holders for the camera, and bought the expensive suction cup holder from GoPro. WARNING - If you use a suction cup holder of any brand, also search for and find safety cords because too many commenters for the suction cup units LOST their cameras when used on a car fender, etc. Thus always make sure you have a safety cord tied to something. The visual image provided by the wide angle videos are quite good and they minimize jiggle the you are riding on a bike, etc. The worst problem is the convoluted double screens, multiple buttons and sliding actions that you have to learn. So allow time for that or you will get frustrated. For instance, right now, I found I did not know how to make an image ZOOM in. I tried "squeeze" moves like on my phone, but they dont' work, so I will have to research...

Crash_194: Literally arrived like a brand new unit and works just as you would expect. I have to admit this did feel like bit of a gamble based on some of the reviews but I am so glad I took the gamble as I feel like I got an real bargain! I’d definitely buy one of these again.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: This thing literally fell apart when I tried to charge it up, so it is no longer waterproof as the cover for the charging port will not fix back on. To add insult to injury, I am being asked to pay the costs of return even though the item is clearly defective. No idea about the features as I didn't charge it up due to the parts falling off. So disappointed in everything to do with this purchase.

Tim: I have had this Go Pro 5 since October of last year and I really Like it. I haven't really tested all the photo settings yet and I hope to play with it when I travel. I really like using it for my Youtube channel. but I was disappointed when I opened it I had to spend part of my day charging the battery. I expected it to have least 5% battery when turning it on for the first time. once I started using it I was happy. that's something to keep in mind if buying one used maybe the battery won't be charged.

Arthur GonzalesArthur Gonzales: I recently received my "Renewed" GoPro Hero 5 Black & am pretty impressed! It looked pretty much new. Not a scratch or any blemishes on it. It came with all of same accessories as any other GoPro.

I've tested it & the video performance is awesome! The pictures are ok but it really shines with video. Everything is really responsive and seems to be well built.

The battery life is blah. I don't know what normal battery life is like with these things but I'm getting a little over an hour use per battery recording at 4K. That's not great but still doesn't suck either. I picked up various accessories including three extra batteries with a multi battery charger.

Overall I'm pretty pleased with it. I didn't pay an arm and a leg for it and the quality is really awesome after changing all of the settings. I found a professional videographer on YouTube who showed how to set it up like a pro & *BAM* it was ready to go!

I would definitely recommend buying one of these "renewed" GoPro cameras. Just be certain to get it from Amazon and NOT from a third party. This way you know you're getting a quality product.
