Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Waterproof to 33 feet without any housing, so it's truly ready for water sports the moment you pick it up.
- Weighs just 2.6oz, making it the lightest GoPro option for helmet mounts or wrist straps on long days.
- One-button power-and-record workflow means zero lag between reaching for the camera and capturing the shot.
- 720p100 mode opens up slow-motion editing possibilities for surf breaks or MTB drops without any add-ons.
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity lets you pull clips and check framing wirelessly through the GoPro App.
👎 Cons
- No built-in display, so you're framing by memory or relying on the app's live view — awkward for precise composition.
- Fixed lens with no zoom means what you see is what you get; no flexibility for tighter shots without repositioning.
- 8MP stills are modest by current standards and will show limitations when cropped or printed large.
- No front-facing microphone placement makes audio in windy conditions noticeably worse than rear-facing designs.
- Battery is non-removable and non-swappable in the field, so a full charge is your only buffer for long sessions.
