It's inevitable: with more features, better ease of use, and waterproofing, plus improved audio capture, the GoPro Hero 5 is the new king of action cameras.It's also nice to see that, at a time when prices for consumer electronics are rising, that at £350...
The GoPro Hero5 Black is a true flagship camera with all the shooting options from its predecessor plus raw and wide dynamic range photo capture and linear field of view video, a touchscreen, a waterproof body, GPS, electronic image stabilization, stereo
Battery life, especially with GPS, Wi-Fi 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
Combining everything great about the Hero4 cameras and then some, the GoPro Hero5 Black is a no-compromise capture device for the ordinary and extraordinary...
GoPro's Hero 5 Session might not have all the fancy features of its action camera rivals, but that doesn't mean this isn't still a great piece of kit. Aside from a couple of niggles, most notably with its still image quality, the Session is a bare bones a...
The Hero 5 Black is the best action camera we've tested and the fact it's cheaper than the outgoing Hero 4 Black sweetens the deal even further. With GPS, water resistance and video stabilisation, the Hero 5 is a fantastic upgrade from a Hero 4 Black.Tags...
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...
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...
