![]() ![]() Video quality was top-notch, I was impressed with how sharp and detailed my test footage looked, and it offers a significant step up from last year’s Session. Footage like the Hero 5 Black is limited to 30fps. The biggest addition to the Hero 5 Session, however, is that it can now capture 4K video. You can also make simple edits via Quik, splicing together footage with just a few taps. Here, you can adjust the field of view, video quality, ISO and exposure levels. The app is easy enough to use, though, and is far more responsive than the sluggish touchscreen of the Black. I didn’t realise how much I’d miss the Black’s touch display, even if it was a little finicky from time to time, with the convenience of never needlessly draining your smartphone battery. However, unlike the Hero 5 Black, the Session doesn’t come with a helpful touchscreen, so you won’t be able to dig deep into the settings unless you open up GoPro’s Capture app on your phone. You won’t always find a plug socket so easily outdoors, but you could always keep it connected to a battery pack for charging on the go. This means you won’t be able to carry around spares for quick swaps while you’re out and about, unlike the Black, but when you can get a full charge in just over an hour via the supplied USB Type-C cable, at least it won’t take long to top it up. ![]() This is easy enough to attach to helmets and the like, and should give the camera a little-added protection from bumps and drops.Īnother trait the Hero 5 Session brings forward is its non-removable 1,000mAh battery. ![]() It supports up to 128GB cards, so you’ll have to fork out another £20 or so if you haven’t got one already. There’s also no microSD card in the box, so you’ll have to provide one yourself. Once, this was the feature that made it stand out from its Hero siblings, but now the Hero 5 Black has proper waterproofing, too, it no longer feels quite so special. Just like last year, the Hero 5 Session is also waterproof to a depth of 10m, doing away with the need for a waterproof case. It still has the monochrome display on top, next to the Record button, as well as a button for switching shooting modes at the back. ![]()
