Bought one November 2017 instead of the Hero 6. It has 95% of the same features and I am more than happy with it. Saved over a hundred bucks. Great review, too !
omg I just bought this for my son today..like today 5/17/17...this video taught me ALOT..oh wow that talking to make it record and take a pic is AMAZING. my son was super happy.
Tight, informative, and no BS-- thank you so much for a great review. I'm so weary of 15 minute reviews that spend 5 full minutes showing you the cardboard box and telling you how nice the packaging is.
Need more audio samples. The mics pic up hands holding it and even with the housing on and it mounted to a gorilla pod you hear the housing rubbing the mics. It's making it almost unusable to me. Other than that I love your overview, very detailed.
+Larry Dickerson Thanks Larry, Surprised with results in Auto mode. Much better than Hero 4. The after thought of "ah I should've recorded in wind/stereo modes" hit me by the time I was uploading 😫
This is the best GoPro 5 review I've seen! And thanks for the tip on the Quick software. I'm hoping I won't need a gimbal for making vlogs, home movies, and travel videos for our YT channel. We won't be riding a motorcycle, mountain bike, skateboard, surfboard, or running over rough terrain, so I'm hoping a selfie-stick, chest strap, head strap, and windshield mount will be stable enough. I may be buying it this afternoon, so we will see. Your video has a lot of useful information on it, so I'll be sure to watch it again and again. Thanks!
You could've mentioned that the voice control shortenes battery life by about 20%. Also, is it true that the Hero 5 Black can record video while being plugged in with the charging cable?
@@BosnianElite ahaaa. Pa de mi reci jel drasticna razlika izmedju 5 i 8 . Ja bi uzeo 5 jer nisam dosad nikad imao kameru pa da se upoznam malo . Kako misliss gdje budem?
How are these action camera specs???: Features: - Screen: 1.5 inch LCD display - Video Recording: FHD 1080p, 60fps - Camera Quality: 8 MP - Dash Cam Recorder - Built in WiFi - App Compatible - Battery: Removable and Rechargable Lithium 1100 mAh
Going on a cruise next year so I bought a GoPro Hero 5 so I can get started using it and editing my videos as I am new to this. I have taken some videos and the quality seems to be great and creating videos thru Quik and Splice Movies are easy for first timers!
At 1:10 you mention that the housing (for instance in my Hero 4 Silver) blocks the microphone. And toward the end of the video you point out the three microphones on this new 5. I do not get it: How do the microphones work underwater? I am a nature photojournalist and do a lot of underwater video. I want to be able to narrate the UW video from above the water. Is there a jack that allows me to plug in a microphone before the camera goes underwater? Probably not. BTW, good job on this review. You are clear, organized and cover a lot of ground.
The best of all heroes. From a guy that returned a hero8 and kept both 5 and 7. 5 won't disconnect. Still give almost 5 hours on 1080 60 frames and hyper smooth? Nah...i have an awesome gimbal for 79 dollars. It doesn't turn off because too cold or too hot. Touch screen, voice control amd its like 150 right now for a 4k action cam
TeQreation np man it's deserved. I've been watching every review of the GH5 I've come across so far, including from the massive tech reviewers, and this is still the most informative. You actually show us everything you talk about. Too many people just list off features and specs without demonstrating them in practice, which is no better than reading the specs list off the GoPro website yourself. And video/editing quality is clean, Keep it up👌
Daniel Guerrero Hey! I just made a video testing out the GoPro Hero 5 Black footage. I know there's not a lot of videos showing people the actual footage it takes. I tested it, underwater, time lapse mode, slow motion, wildlife, etc. I hope this was helpful 😋💕 it's up on my channel!
Yep, you covered some basic stuff left out of other reviews -- thank you. Might have to get a steady cam (handheld gimbal) for shooting 4k. Are you able to recommend one for the Hero 5? Is there one that would work with both the Hero *and* and iPhone 6s Plus, do you think? ty
I heard my husband tell my daughter he wanted this. so I got it for his birthday...which by the way is today. I hope he likes it. your review helped me understand alot.
My cover for the re charge and HDMI socket has come off. I am having one terrible problem clipping it back in again - Help appreciate your comments. Brian
HERO 5 Black is a great GoPro. I have three on my Harley. Great ride videos, plus three witnesses if anything goes awry! You did a good job of describing the camera.
YUP just ordered one because of your review. Thanks boss great demo and I got a full understanding for what up for the new go pro.. can't wait to get it to start shooting.. thanks again YOU ROCKED IT!!!!
Like your vid and interested in buying. I am more inclined towards taking a still picture. Would you recommend it for stills? or would be better off buying a Samsung S7? Cheers
Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep the battery lasting longer? Like modes to turn off? Great tutorial btw made it super easy for someone like me who isn't a tech wiz to follow along
+Virginiaxoxo99 Your welcome! I would likely recommend just getting spare batteries. I wouldn't sacrifice video quality by shooting in a different mode
I just got this and mine keeps saying i have a micro disk error everytime i try and shoot video? It's a brand new Sandisk and I'm able to shoot for 5 seconds before it errors out again which is frustrating! Any thoughts? I haven't tried a new micro yet cause they're all in my drones but if I can't figure it out I'll try another card...hop its just the micro but wondered if you ran into any issues like this?
For safe measures I would invest into another memory chi it's not to expensive depends what you buy try that out and take it in to which ever store you bought it from and ask questions.
Sorry this comment comes so late, but make sure the card is class 10 to start with. I'm assuming you already knew that but I'm just covering the bases. Try putting the card into the camera and doing a format of the card. I had a card acting up just like yours and did a delete all/ format on my GoPro and now it works great. Then if that doesn't work try using the card in somethings else to make sure the card is actually bad before you go out and spend hard earned cash on a new one.
Excellent review! Very articulate and easy for us newbies to understand!!!! Dude, I'm looking forward to more of your vids. Great job my man... .you should teach a course on how to TH-cam!!!
I bought this camera over Yi products because I was thinking I can use external mic for windy days, but you can use a external mic only without case and the price for the Gopro adaptor is like 50$ witch is INSANE! I have updated my windows to 10 just to can use the Quick app just to find out my Laptop is freezing (i3 2.4Ghz, 8 Gb DDR3, Gforce 630M 1Gb). So if you plan to buy this product you need to invest also in the last generation of PC 1000$ + extra 200$ for gadgets....I give it 2 stars only because is easy to use and I think is taking also good videos.
Hi, super video. About the battery, I bought the GoPro Powerpack with it. (and 2 extra batteries). As long as you do not need to film underwater, you can remove the chargingdoor and (eg with the GoPro seeker) hang the powerpack on to the camera, while operating. It gives me (from the powerpack) 5 hours extra recording time. Then it starts with my battery. As my 128Gig sd card records with 2.7k 5:38 hrs, that is enough with 1 battery + powerpack. After that I can exchange my SD card for my 64Gig and use the extra batteries if I desire. With the GoPro Gimble it works the same way. It charges the GoPro too. I do not have it, but saw it in a youtube video. Thanks again, from The Netherlands! I subscribed.
Very good review. I jsut bought my hero 5 waiting on it to get to me. :-) I am excited about not having to change the housing! Question - do you now if the music in the Quick App is Copyright free?
SJ7star action cam is half the price less than $120 same quality. the sj8 pro is about $200 newest cam. there is also a sj8 plus and a sj8 air. got to mention these camera come with 6+ mounts included.
The choice PROTUNE at video when you choose it the recording time minus to 2 hours and if you have it off the recording time goes at 3hours and a half. Do i have to put it on all the time? When you you usually put it? when mostly need it??
A couple of questions- I just got my Hero 5 Black> First, what size SD card to you suggest using. I'm guessing the largest you can afford but would like your input. Second, I am having a lot of difficulty in maintaining Android connection using the GoPro App. Trying to connect I get a "Failed" message try again etc. and on the phone I get "Something went wrong, try again, support" which does not help. I noticed that on some You Tube videos showing me how to make a connection there was an option to enter the password given on the Go Pro Screen but I've never seen that on the app. I do see the password on the Go Pro below the GP #. I live your videos although for a newbie, when you switch back and forth between various control screens, I get lost and have to run it back. Thanks for taking the time to make a helpful video.
NIRVANAmat it automatically cuts off after a minute into recording. But if you mean leaving it and forgetting to cut it off it will shut down within a minute or two. I just made a video testing out the GoPro Hero 5 Black footage. I know there's not a lot of videos showing people the actual footage it takes. I tested it, underwater, time lapse mode, slow motion, wildlife, etc. I hope this was helpful 😋💕 it's up on my channel!
Great review. Thank you. Can you comment on how you think this camera might be to take "up close & personal" video & photos? I'd like to place it in a 2'x2' snake enclosure, and would generally be within about a foot or less distance. Concerned about clarity and focus.
Awesome review, question, If i need to use n mounted this gopro hero 5 outside of helmet and if i use voice commands from inside of helmet, do i need to mic to do such action?
Thanks.I am way behind with this Technology, using a (still) Hero 2 with Mounts and WiFi BacPac. So my Questions are: Does the 5 fit the old Mounts (sticking it on Bonnet, Straps to body etc) or not .... ? Can I use the existing Wifi BacPac with the 5 ..... ? Does the Remote Control WiFi battery die just as quickly .... ?
My GoPro freezes. It’s driving me nuts! Had this for a long time but I get frustrated with it. Took me a long time to finally get the swipe down feature. Trying to get the fisheye setting off so my videos just have a nice look. I use it up skiing and thought wide would be good, which Ugg’s not. Now it’s stuck on super 😢
What's up with that mini SD card being only class 1? My instructions says I must use class 10 sd card. Nobody is saying how big the SD card can be 32, 64,128,256 gig. Thanks for giving us an audio sample. I wanted to see how it sounded in the wind. I know you can't demo everything so I'll give you a like.
Bought one November 2017 instead of the Hero 6. It has 95% of the same features and I am more than happy with it. Saved over a hundred bucks. Great review, too !
Lucky because the 6 is a turd. 👍
Smart kid cover all points quickly and complete. Thxs

+Joy Allen What a great choice you made for your son. Enjoy!
When you said "Okay Google" my phone responded haha
Tight, informative, and no BS-- thank you so much for a great review. I'm so weary of 15 minute reviews that spend 5 full minutes showing you the cardboard box and telling you how nice the packaging is.
Nice review. Just ordered this finally. Lets see how it goes.
I like it. sound still sucks. and now the output for audio doesn't use micro USB. Grrrrr
I'd say an 8. Voice features are cool and convenient inside the car and when the camera is close.
Hell yeah :D
DoctaM3
I don’t need this can remove
Need more audio samples. The mics pic up hands holding it and even with the housing on and it mounted to a gorilla pod you hear the housing rubbing the mics. It's making it almost unusable to me. Other than that I love your overview, very detailed.
+Larry Dickerson Thanks Larry, Surprised with results in Auto mode. Much better than Hero 4. The after thought of "ah I should've recorded in wind/stereo modes" hit me by the time I was uploading 😫
Just received mine yesterday, couldn't be happier. Great video!
This is the best GoPro 5 review I've seen! And thanks for the tip on the Quick software. I'm hoping I won't need a gimbal for making vlogs, home movies, and travel videos for our YT channel. We won't be riding a motorcycle, mountain bike, skateboard, surfboard, or running over rough terrain, so I'm hoping a selfie-stick, chest strap, head strap, and windshield mount will be stable enough. I may be buying it this afternoon, so we will see. Your video has a lot of useful information on it, so I'll be sure to watch it again and again. Thanks!
+Our Philippine Life So glad it helped!
TeQreation can you turn off the LCD screen?
I just purchased one today after watching many reviews. Thank you for all you shared I learned some new things I can do on my first-ever GoPro
Tommy T my name is Tommy too
Best review of it yet Great job bro!
+PremierReviewer Thanks Carlos!
PremierReviewer
Ronald De Hart
Didn't see anything about the battery life but I skipped a little bit of the video.
i agree with yuh
Great review ! Just got my go pro5 ... Cant Wait to play with it
Nat Regan does go pro hero 5 supports external mic?
"Oh shit! Yup That's actually a thing"
That got me subbed!
+Khalid Warsame I mean, I guess that's practical feature 😁
Really liked the video explained a lot. Would you still recommend this buy or should I go with a later model
Just got mine for my anniversary present, thanks for the quick guide, very useful.
+William Estremera Jr Enjoy it buddy!
You could've mentioned that the voice control shortenes battery life by about 20%.
Also, is it true that the Hero 5 Black can record video while being plugged in with the charging cable?
Max S. It does? You can turn it off rigjt
Virginiavlogs You can turn it off (in the settings).
But then again, it's one of the main reasons why people buy the 5 instead of the 4.
After seeing your video I am going to be a first time GoPro owner in the near future.
Awesome video man 👍🏻I just picked up the hero 5
Druze kakva je kamera?
KillaBee ovo ti je GoPro 5 sad sam preso na GoPro hero 8 al opet dobro snima Dje ti budes ?
@@BosnianElite ahaaa. Pa de mi reci jel drasticna razlika izmedju 5 i 8 . Ja bi uzeo 5 jer nisam dosad nikad imao kameru pa da se upoznam malo .
Kako misliss gdje budem?
"Smudge and finger print party." 🤣
By far the best review! You convinced me to by a Go Pro 5.
+Philjo Thank you sir
I got mine a few years ago, starting to get back into it
How are these action camera specs???:
Features:
- Screen: 1.5 inch LCD display
- Video Recording: FHD 1080p, 60fps
- Camera Quality: 8 MP
- Dash Cam Recorder
- Built in WiFi
- App Compatible
- Battery: Removable and Rechargable Lithium 1100 mAh
When you were demonstrating voice commands, my new gopro was doing exactly what you were saying!
Going on a cruise next year so I bought a GoPro Hero 5 so I can get started using it and editing my videos as I am new to this. I have taken some videos and the quality seems to be great and creating videos thru Quik and Splice Movies are easy for first timers!
This is one of the best review/how to I have seen!
David Brush Why thank you sir!
the housing on the corner starts already to wear down .....and the changing of the field of view sacrafice the imaque quality/pixels right?
It is a light, not worn :)
hahah yes by now i know that! I saw one in real life. :)
At 1:10 you mention that the housing (for instance in my Hero 4 Silver) blocks the microphone. And toward the end of the video you point out the three microphones on this new 5.
I do not get it: How do the microphones work underwater?
I am a nature photojournalist and do a lot of underwater video. I want to be able to narrate the UW video from above the water.
Is there a jack that allows me to plug in a microphone before the camera goes underwater?
Probably not.
BTW, good job on this review. You are clear, organized and cover a lot of ground.
Thanks allot for the video needed this instead of any shitty useless talk...👍👍
+Nishant Bhosale Hahaha my pleasure
I just picked mine up before I saw this. Your review is spot on. Good stuff.
Very good, concise and helpful review. Thanks for posting.

Just got one...looked to youtube to get started...this vid was one of the most helpful by far, great job!
Thank you mate! That made a decision much easier for me. Have a nice day!
Solid review.
Would like to see how the features work at 1080p.
Thank you for the review! I'm starting a motovlog soon and needed info on a good action cam. thank you again for helping me make a decision.

Hey from Dublin. Great review. A question about sound. For recording best sound at a music gig, should I select the "stereo" option?
I heard my husband tell my daughter he wanted this. so I got it for his birthday...which by the way is today. I hope he likes it. your review helped me understand alot.
Dose GoPro hero5 use your cell DATA when using the Capture app to using it as a Monitor and wireless recording . Great video thanks
Great review. The waterproof out of the box feature is really exciting for better audio when in the water.
Awesome Video just bought my Hero 5 today and I love it
Awesome Review, thanks. One little thing I didn't get: You can take out batterie but only charge it inside the camera?
TheEagle No you can take it out if want Ofcourse. but you have to purchase the battery charger separate if you go that route
Awesome video I have two Hero 5 Blacks that I use to shoot video with
OMG THANKS SOOO MUCH DUDE
THIS IS THE BEST REVIEW ON TH-cam

What is your best recommendation for video recording? 4K 30fps or other and why? Thanks so much excellent information
HERO 5 Black is a great GoPro. I have three on my Harley. Great ride videos, plus three witnesses if anything goes awry! You did a good job of describing the camera.
Great review! You covered everything I need to know and much more!
StyleByZaza Anytime!
AWESOME VID!!! I WISH YOU COULD TURN THE LCD OFF AND ON AS NEEDED OR CAN YOU??? IF SO THAT WOULD COOL
Great video! Weren't they supposed to correct the fisheye effect on the 5?
Optical stabilization was Go Pros best feature.
Good video thumbs up.
Thanks that was exactly what I needed to know to make up my mind. I'm gonna get one. My first sport cam.
All ready bought one for Christmas for blogging do a video on blog set up
YUP just ordered one because of your review. Thanks boss great demo and I got a full understanding for what up for the new go pro.. can't wait to get it to start shooting.. thanks again YOU ROCKED IT!!!!
Where can I find the cable IN ANGLE to keep powering the go pro for longer time while driving ? Thank you.
Thanks for the great review. Just bought one at Costco for $189.99. Can't wait to put it to use. Merry Christmas. Liked & subscribed.
Like your vid and interested in buying. I am more inclined towards taking a still picture. Would you recommend it for stills? or would be better off buying a Samsung S7? Cheers
+Andrea Micallef oh no, I would absolutely grab an S7 edge for photos
Awesome review, the most detailed I've seen.

What camera did u use to shoot this video? Looks amazing!

+Virginiaxoxo99 Your welcome! I would likely recommend just getting spare batteries. I wouldn't sacrifice video quality by shooting in a different mode
TeQreation I did! Thank you so much

Very nice tutorial. Quick question. What camera are you using to make the tutorial and what lens adapter to achieve the close ups?
+JC Vela Check my link, my Gear kit lists everything I use for production. Been using the Sigma lens all year
so glad your good at explaining this well done thank you
Do you recommend this for youtube videos ? like for starting a channel ? mostly outside stuff..

Hey!

1 question:Does it come with and SD Card?Please reply!Thanks...
MVP JORDAN It doesnt. You can buy one on the GoPro website.
is the screen constantly lit, or is it button activated to save battery? might be an obvious answer, but just thought i'd ask :) Great review
