I'll make this short and sweet. 1. The GoPro is the exact same one your would buy at at any retail store. It is in perfect condition, never been opened. I LOVE IT! It is amazing. But this review is more about the extras you recieve, and not the GoPro itself. Because the only reason I bought this package deal, was because I was saving a ton of money on all these extras...so are they worth it? 2. Everything included is a 3rd party accessory, but thats not a bad thing. Every single extra item works well, and feels durable enough to really be used in whatever action activity you want to do. The tripod grip isn't tall, but the postivie is its flexible legs which rubber legs and tips wrap and hold to so many things. The chestie, and headband are perfect. The selfie stick is a very good length and not too heavy. All clamps, suction cups and extra batteries are perfect. 3. The Micro SD card will not work with GoPro. It is non-compatible. I screwed up my GoPro and had to contact their customer support for an hour to discover I had corrupted the firmware of my camera. No big deal, once I had put in a SD card that was compatible. 4. Overall, BUY THIS. You will spend 400$ on the camera alone. These extras are ABSOLUTELY worth the extra $ that are included. Just plan on spending another $25 to $50 on a 32 or 64gb Micro SD card as well. Long as you know that, you'll be good.Read full review

Too many pieces to keep track of, battery life short requires keeping on hand 3 or more precharged replacement batteries for filming vids,recharging takes too long and is not wireless thru induction. exterior clear body and backs lack unified size or fit for previous earlier owned models makes them NOT interchangeable. . Requires that if you own multiple models of gopro camera you are compelled to buy different fitting but repetitive items This unit lacks a magnetic back for placement positioning on metal surface. No oem interchangeable lens. Competitor brand manufacturers models have streamlined some of these items within their own brands.

Pros: Great product, very durable, case is sturdy, great quality videos, camera user friendly and easy to figure out, lcd touch screen, wifi option to external devices such as computer or smart phones, and comes with useful accessories such as mounts and interchangeable cases. Cons: If you plan to use it for several hours you have to be conservative with battery life if you want to make it last. Taking quality photos can be troublesome especially if you don't have a LOT of light. SD card read errors happen here and there. Sometimes (even with low light option off) 60fps drops lower. No SD card comes with camera. Other info: No zoom, slight learning curve figuring out how to use all accessories.
I bought this for getting action footage as well as filmmaking. I like that the field of view is adjustable (Super Wide, Wide, Medium, Narrow) so you don't always have to use the "fisheye" looking wide effect. (which is great for action footage, but not so much if you're trying to shoot a "flatter" shot to cut into footage from other cameras.) When i'm not filming action footage, I like to use the Medium and Narrow fields of view because it looks like a "normal" lens with a natural field of view. This camera produces a very stable image with hardly any noticeable "jello" effect. I was impressed at how smooth the footage is even in rough and shaky conditions. The built-in touch screen is an essential asset in this camera, which enables you to frame your shots and quickly change camera settings with ease. It is also durable. I accidentally dropped it on concrete from about 8 feet up (with the case on it). It got a couple dings but was still good to go. I like that you can change the framerate, and that it has enhanced settings for low-light conditions. The Pro Tune setting is also great for custom light and picture settings. The resolution/framerate options are also satisfactory. One bad thing about this camera (and even earlier GoPro models apparently) is that some models have a color glitch that is said to be common among all GoPro models. The screen gets these purple and green hues randomly in your footage which makes it unuseable. I am in the process of receiving my replacement GoPro after sending in the defective unit. It was a fairly smooth process. All in all it is an amazing and versatile camera. It blows other action cameras out of the water. It is just far superior to any action camera in its class. For batteries and storage, I suggest at least two backup batteries and a charger (i got Wasabi brand, which work fine) and at least one SanDisk Extreme 64GB micro SDHC card or equivalent.Read full review
My gopro hero 3+ came with a battery backpack and a WiFi remote. The battery add on is great. The camera is good. Waterproof is a wonderful feature. But,... The WiFi remote wasn't synced prior the receiving the camera and it wouldn't pair to the camera either. I'm only able to use the app as a remote feature. Went snorkeling and swimming with dolphins in the Bahamas with no issues! Remote issues is only reason I'm giving 4 stars.
