Good accessories pack
This is a comprehensive accessories kit.The best way to show you what this accessories pack, sent to me for review, looks like is via a video, so I have made a video review. If you do not enlarge the video to full screen, it sometimes plays with sound but no video (a blank, black screen) - this seems to be an Amazon glitch. To cure it, press the 'full screen' icon.If you are reading this on a mobile phone, you may be unable to view the video - you will be able to watch it on a computer or tablet.Every photographer needs a UV filter and a circular polariser. If you have never used a circular polariser before, get one. They are superb. Digital cameras do not need UV filters like film cameras used to, to remove the blue tint caused by UV light - however they remain invaluable for their second function, namely protecting the lens from accidental damage. It's far cheaper to replace a filter than a lens.The ND4 filter is useful - it is equivalent to a 2 f-stop reduction. Try it, along with a tripod, when photographing moving water to obtain an artificially low shutter speed - the water turns creamy and ethereal. In short, it looks great and unlike anything you would ever see with your own eyes.The filter case is of good quality.In the video, when showing you the circular polariser, I mention `vignetting' without explaining what it is. Vignetting is where the corners of the photograph darken, due to (for example) a lens hood or even a filter encroaching on the photo. Slim filters, such as these, reduce the chance of that happening.Disclaimer: This product was kindly supplied to me for free in exchange for an unbiased review - good or bad.

No camera is perfect.
Not for those that think it will replace an iPhone with little to no extra effort.It's a great little tool that like all tools should be one in a box of many rather than a Swiss Army Knife solution.I not only use it for video but it takes great stills as well. Particularly 3x3 panoramas which come out wider than I can get with my DSLR and have fewer problems with distortion that I would get using a wide angle lens.It's difficult to frame a subject well with the small screen on the device and with the aid of a phone to compensate for that shortfall, the Pockets battery life reduces a lot. That can be compensated for by using a portable power charger plugged in while in use as the Pocket has two ports. The video output can be amazing if you know what you are doing but using a phone as a screen means control is a bit lagging at just under a half second.Do check your phone's compatibility first as it is essential to get the Osmo Pocket even activated. It is not a toy. It needs the understanding to get good results but it's potential is amazing. It is not all weather usable or all light condition suitable but light years ahead for size and price. Nowhere near as robust as a Hero Black 7 but better output.

Love this camera
Small but big on video quality. I opted for the GoPro 7 rather than spend the extra money for the 9.

A good Camera
It is a good camera so far. It heats up really fast on the dashboard of a car. Have not been able to use every feature of the camera yet but it great pictures and great videos. Very high quality and the voice active feature work well. Will update the review after I have used it more and learned more about the productSo I'm updating this review. This product is still meeting all of my expectation. It take amazing videos and amazing photos, 1080p quality is outstanding and the 4k quality is even better and the photos are crystal clear. The one bad thing that I see with the camera is that it battery the battery kind of fast. So I would recommend buying an extra battery and a charging pack.

Great camera
The camera works well and is stabilized. Not much else to say; this camera has been around for several years and its characteristics are well known.
