Gopro session 4 mounts 720p#

I mounted it to my hand during our rafting trip and could barely feel it as we sped down the river.

It does use a small skeleton case (much like the frame mount the company sells for its bigger Hero cameras, but cubed) in order to attach it to the various mounts. The Session, on the other hand, is waterproof out of the box. The Hero 4 Session is waterproof out of the box GoPro has also slimmed down its cameras over the years - the Hero 4 Black and Silver, in particular, are very light and small - but when you snap them into a housing and mount them to a helmet or to your wrist, you definitely still feel them when you’re moving around. One of the biggest benefits of the Session’s small size is how much harder it is to notice, no matter where you mount it. But GoPro has improved the ease of its on-camera menu system over the years, so if you’ve gotten used to changing your settings on the fly, it could take some time to acclimate to the Session. That’s probably for the best, considering there are only two buttons and just one tiny screen on the camera. In fact, to change any settings on the Session, you have to use GoPro’s app or the included Wi-Fi remote. The only other button on the Session is for turning the camera’s Wi-Fi on and off. If you want to shoot single or burst photos, however, you have to change to these modes in the GoPro app. When I started the hour-and-a-half rafting trip, the Session had two-thirds of its battery life remaining, and by the end, it had outlasted a fully charged Hero 4 Black and Hero+ LCD.Ī 3-second press-and-hold on the main button will trigger a time-lapse photo mode. The Session’s internal battery should last between one to two hours running consistently, but turning it on and off each time stretches the battery life much further. This helps with battery life - a problem GoPro has long battled with its cameras. You operate the Session with one button, and it helps save battery Tap it again to stop recording, and the Session turns off. Tap it, and the Session turns on and starts recording. The main one is a red, circular button found on the top side of the camera. In fact, the Session only has two buttons. The Session is extremely simple to use: you start and stop it with just one press of a button. It’s waterproof up to 10 meters so it doesn’t require a bulky housing, which made it the perfect camera to stick on the hand that I was using on top of my paddle.

It shoots 1440p video at 30 frames per second, 1080p up to 60 frames per second, and 720p up to 100 frames per second. It’s cube-shaped and measures less than 1.5 inches long on every side. Strapped to my hand was GoPro’s new camera: the $399 Hero 4 Session, available next week.
