The GoPro HERO5 Black is a beast for recording outdoors and on trips! The 4K video quality is crisp, and having built-in waterproofing without needing a separate housing is a huge plus. Voice control and the touchscreen make it super easy to operate on the go. Highly recommended for travel and sports!

GoPro Hero5 Black ek bahut hi accha action camera hai. Iska design chota aur strong hai. Ye bina cover ke 10 meter tak waterproof hai, isliye swimming ya baarish me aaram se use kar sakte hain.
Isme 4K video recording hoti hai aur photo 12MP ka aata hai. Video quality bahut clear hai, stable bhi hai. Voice control bhi hai, bol ke video start kar sakte hain.
Iska touch screen 2 inch ka hai, use karna easy hai. Battery ek baar charge pe 1.5 ghante tak chal jati hai.
Problem bas ye hai ki iski battery thodi jaldi khatam hoti hai aur low light me video thoda dark aata hai. Ye 2016 ka model hai isliye ab naya lena mehenga padega, second hand me 8-10 hazar me mil jaye to sahi deal hai.
Overall vlogging aur travel ke liye ye abhi bhi ek best budget action camera hai.
Would not Recommend it as many competitive models are available in 2026

I’ve used the GoPro HERO5 Black mainly for motovlogging, The video quality was pretty good during the day. 4K footage looks sharp, and for normal riding and YouTube videos, I don’t think most people would complain about the quality. The colors are also decent, although newer GoPros definitely look better.
It’s nowhere near what you get from newer action cameras. On smooth roads it’s fine, but once you start riding over bad roads, bumps or rough patches, the footage can get shaky. I also prefer using a lower resolution with stabilization rather than shooting 4K without it.
The audio is another interesting part. The built-in microphones are usable, but if you’re riding at higher speeds, wind noise becomes a problem. For proper motovlogging, I would definitely recommend using an external microphone and placing it inside the helmet.
since this is an older camera, battery health can be a bit of a gamble. I also wouldn’t rely on a single battery for a long ride also it heats too much if you continuously record in 4k.
One thing I still really like is the size and ruggedness. It’s small, easy to mount on the helmet or bike, and you don’t have to worry too much about taking it out on a ride. The touchscreen is also convenient for quickly checking settings or footage.
Night recording is probably its weakest area. During the day I can still get footage that looks good enough for YouTube, but once the light goes down, the limitations become much more obvious. You get more noise and the overall footage doesn't look nearly as clean as footage from newer cameras.
So, would I recommend the HERO5 Black in 2026?
If you already own one, absolutely keep using it. It can still be a decent motovlogging camera, especially for daytime rides. But if you’re buying an action camera today, I would probably spend the extra money on something newer because stabilization, low-light performance and overall usability have improved a lot.
For me, the HERO5 Black is a good example of a product that has aged surprisingly well. It’s definitely outdated, but it isn’t useless. If you know its limitations and use it in the right conditions, it can still get the job done.
Overall rating: 3.5/5
Good enough for basic motovlogging, but newer action cameras are a big step ahead.
Very good good product

Great high-quality video of up to 4K. You can even shoot 240 FPS at 720 if you want to slow it down later....Low-light video and image stabilization (especially while walking) could be better. Extreme contrasts aren't corrected well during video recording.
