This is a great camera. Works well, great quality. Not sure if you need an lcd screen if you have another device ( smart phone, tablet, etc) with wifi and Bluetooth tech. You can link your wifi camera and other wifi/ blue tooth device and use the screen on the second device as a screen. I don't regret getting the GoPro with the lcd but if you want to save a few dollars it is not necessary.
I'm pretty old so I expect everything to come with a detailed instruction booklet however this camera comes with a very limited instruction book. All operating directions and questions are easily found on Internet and the instruction page that comes with camera direct you there.
The camera does not come with memory card so do yourself a favor and buy one when you buy the camera.
This is a great camera with plenty of features. It does what it is advertised, no regrets.

This camera takes excellent video and it is easy to download on your computer. I was impressed with how small it is and that it can be mounted on many different platforms. It seems to be a rugged camera with the ability to go in water to extreme depths and I don't have to worry about it. My only concern would be that it does not have a removable battery so someday when this battery goes bad I guess I will be in trouble but I figured by then it will be outdated. For what I use it for the battery seems to last long enough until I need to recharge it again .

My wife purchased this for me as a Christmas gift. I used it so much I upgraded to the Silver. The few downfalls of this camera verses the Silver or Black is the battery life and battery itself. This camera doesn't come with a removable battery, the camera has to be physically plugged in to charge. When the battery only lasts 45min-1.5 hours, its helpful to have a removable battery with multiple replacements. I used this camera for outdoor winter activities - sledding, skiing, etc. and water foul hunting. It was amazing capturing the hunt - as long as the battery lasted. Overall, great camera, looking forward to getting my wife to use one too!

Easy to use camera for beginner. Great quality of recording above and below water. Loved that I could record my son kicking. He has special needs and the only time he can properly bicycle kick his legs is underwater. This is an awesome way to catch this for everyone to see!!

The camera works great and having an LCD is a huge upgrade. The only thing keeping it from being 5 stars is that the battery didn't last as long as I would have liked.

Bought this for my sons birthday since he was getting SCUBA certified. Was fun to take it in the water. Even underwater with decreasing light the video quality was incredible. Love the LCD and bluetooth capabilities. So far so good.

Bought this camera for my daughter for snorkeling in Hawaii. The camera is rugged, waterproof, and stands up to a 11 year olds use. This camera was easy to use for her and took amazing pictures and videos. Great product.

My son wanted this for his birthday. He really likes it. It takes good video and pictures. The pictures underwater are really beautiful. It is definitely an action camera to use underwater, biking, etc.. I would not want it as a primary video camera. The interface seems a bit awkward to me, but I have not spent a lot of time with it either. Having the LCD screen is great so you can see what you are videoing or taking pictures of. Watching videos on the LCD is not great as you can barely hear the sound. The camera still seems a bit overpriced to me. Best Buy had a great package deal that came with a micro SD card and a case which made the purchase better. My son loves it and that is what matters!

I bought this as a graduation gift from my boyfriend. We just wanted something simple to record our hiking trips and to just play around with. Even though this model isn't "top of the line", we have been impressed so far. The touch screen is awesome, we can play back our videos right away, and the interface is really simple. And the video quality is great. We've had fun with it so far, can't wait to buy more accessories and try out some new things.

Our VCR camera died before our daughter's wedding. Bought the Hero Silver. The final MP4 product after editing is good. However the built in microphone does not pick up beyond a couple feet. Bought a microphone and jack but then had to buy a skeleton housing. Soon the complete package got way over $500 for a little video camera. Had everything set up right but at times the camera freezes (like when deleting files). The only recourse is to pull out the battery...and lose all of the settings. The camera stopped in the middle of the wedding!!! NO!!
Bottom line, great toy but be very familiar with it before doing anything truly important.

I did a ton of research before purchasing my GoPro. I wanted a video camera that would be great for general home video of my kids around the house, outside playing, etc. Everything I ever heard about GoPro was that it was for extreme sports so I wasn't sure when people recommended it. I have certainly been proven wrong. This is a great camera! Super durable, high quality video, and easy to travel with.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a solution to their home video needs.

If you're interested in an action cam but don't want to shell out hundreds or $$$ the hero+LCD does everything you need. It is a little annoying not having replaceable batteries but it charges fast enough and lasts a couple hours on one charge. I bought it to take scuba diving. It worked perfectly. The camera does record 1080p60 and stills look good when you can hold the camera still.

For what I need, this camera works perfectly. I wanted a GoPro to be able to capture my experience, such as hiking, scuba diving etc. This camera is perfect for someone who is not doing professional work, but likes to explore. I am more than happy with the GoPro Hero +LCD.
I read before I purchased this GoPro, that the LCD Screen shortens the battery life, but I have not had any issues. I used my GoPro a bunch, and only have had to charge it one time.

We purchased the cam for our 12 year grandson. It's pretty easy to use and versital as it can also be used under water. It's small size makes it easy to carry and transport. You have several mounting options that can be purchased to mount the camera on you depending on your intended use (e.g. headband, hand held post, chest clip, etc.). The accessoties were reasonably priced and makes the camera easy to use while freeing up you hands.

This unit takes great video and works really easy! Had no issues connecting wifi to iPhone 6. My only two issues were simply that the waterproof case is integrated into the camera...meaning the camera cannot be removed....or the battery changed ( issue #2). Other than that works great and met a good price point. Love the touch screen LCD
