It's not just filming that's easier with the Hero5. The whole thing is cloud-connected, so it'll automatically upload all your clips and pics whenever you hook up a USB Type-C cable to recharge it. Sure, you can transfer everything manually to a smartpho...

Voice activated camera control, Improved video and stills, Brilliant optional drone
Fiddly rear touchscreen, Caseless waterproofing suspect, Package can get expensive
This is a cracking action cam. The best you can get, in fact. It's a great evolution of the firm's tried-and-tested line, featuring plenty of user-friendly extras that make capturing top quality footage a doddle. It's powerful enough to offer broad...
Rugged and waterproof without housing, Great photo and video quality, Responsive touchscreen, Three stereo mics, with noise canceling, Voice control
Battery life remains the same, Requires some new accessories
The Hero5 Black is a proper successor to the Hero4, and it's worth the upgrade. Even existing Hero4 Black owners will benefit from the new features. The lower list price makes it more affordable, so if you're shopping for a new action cam, definitely cons...

Abstract: If you want the world's best action camera you're not going to find much better than a GoPro.The US tech firm has been making these almost indestructible mini movie makers since 2002 and has become synonymous with filming adrenaline junki...
Fantastic image and video quality, waterproofing up to 10m without additional housing, great voice control functionality, video image stabilisation, stereo sound, built-in touchscreen
Connection to app still fiddly, mounting system not simple until you know how, battery life could always be better
The GoPro Hero5 Black is the GoPro we have all been waiting for. The company's previous offerings deliver great results, but the new device adds more than enough to warrant an upgrade - and not just because of the great image and video quality.The touchsc...

Captures 4K video with stabilization, Touchscreen for easy controls, Water, resistant without housing
Controls still have a learning curve, Mobile apps have limitations, Discipline needed to edit like a pro
GoPro Hero5 is the 4K action camera that we wanted, with more straightforward menus on a two-inch touchscreen and out-of-the-box water resistance. It still takes commitment to edit and master its controls to be worth the price...
Superb image quality, Effective electronic image stabilisation, Great microphones, Waterproof without a case (to 10m), Additional still image functions, Improved design
Old batteries incompatible, No EIS in 4K, Poor touchscreen responsiveness
GoPro Hero 5 Black – Battery Life and Charging The Hero 5 Black's battery has a fractionally larger capacity than the older version, which is helpful considering you have GPS, a touchscreen and EIS to factor in. It does also mean the battery is physically...

Just as with standalone cameras, sensor size plays a key role in image quality for drone cameras. But the unique size and weight tradeoffs of aerial photography mean that bigger isn't always better for a particular application. Costs also increase with th...

Abstract: Before we start – a few notes. First is that both cameras are superb. And both cameras are without question the best that either company has ever made. If someone gifted you either camera, I'm going to guess you'll be thrilled.Both cameras came out within...

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...
