There's a new option to shoot 4K video at 30 frames per second (although in most cases 1080p at 60fps will be more useful), and still images have been bumped up from eight to 10 megapixels, but this is still an area where the Session plays second fiddle to the Hero.Īnother feature shared with the Hero 5 Black is GoPro's new EIS, or electronic image stabilisation. The camera shoots higher quality video than the Hero 4 Session thanks to less noise and grain, more detail and a higher dynamic range the soft footage of its predecessor is no more. The Hero 5 Session understands 10 languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese. This is useful when the camera is nearby but your hands are busy, such as while mountain biking with the GoPro attached to your helmet. This means you can tell the camera to start or stop recording, take a photo, shoot a timelapse or burst of images, and add a highlight marker to an exact point in your recording. Speaking of control, the Session gets the same new voice commands as the Hero 5 Black. For a deeper dive into the settings menu, you can pair the Session to the GoPro smartphone app (iPhone and Android), which also acts as a mobile viewfinder and a way of remotely controlling the camera. The Hero 5 Session records 4K video and features voice commands GoProīut most GoPro users are unlikely to dig into the settings all that often, so there's no harm in consulting the instructions on the few occasions you need to adjust something. We say careful because it can be quite fiddly and unclear exactly how to change anything.
Video resolution and frame rate are shown on a small grey-scale display and settings are adjusted with careful use of the camera's only two buttons. Switch it on (after four long paragraphs.sorry) and, with one more press of the same button, the Hero 5 Session starts recording Full HD or Ultra HD video. There are dozens of far cheaper cameras this size on eBay and Amazon promising similar video quality, but none exude the premium finish and expensive-feeling weight of the GoPro. But for some reason design still matters and the Session passes with flying colours. The aesthetics of a hardy, go-anywhere action camera like this shouldn't matter one iota you slot it into a case, strap it to your helmet, hit record and barrel down a mountain, or a waterfall, or the Cresta Run. A tiny cube-shaped gadget, the Session is little more than a lens, microSD card slot, simple display, battery and two buttons packed inside a novelty-sized snooker chalk. GoPro cameras are exactly the same, and none more so than the one you see here, the Hero 5 Session.
On the other hand, the Hero 5 Session can capture 10-megapixel photos with no screen, GPS, RAW, or WDR modes.GoPro reveals new drone to compete with DJI Phantom It also has built-in GPS and is capable of capturing RAW photos and Wide Dynamic Range video. The Hero 5 Black features a 2-inch LCD touchscreen so you can preview what you’re shooting with its 12-megapixel camera. Where they differ is their internal specs and design.
They’re slated to launch on October 2nd and they’re both compatible with the Karma Drone that was announced alongside them. You’ll also get GoPro Plus support on both devices. Both cameras are waterproof up to 10 meters without a plastic housing and both cameras support voice control with seven languages supported at launch.
It’ll start at $399 if you don’t want to purchase the Krama Drone bundle that makes the camera $100 cheaper.īoth cameras share several specs, despite the smaller size of the $299 Session 5. First up is the Hero 5 Black, which is the big boy. GoPro unveiled its latest generation of active cameras today, featuring numerous improvements over the previous series of Hero 4 cameras that debuted back in 2014.
