Firstly the button is hard, if not impossible, to access when the Session is mounted. Pairing is easy enough, but using this button to flag video highlights depends on a number of different factors. This is mainly used for pairing the Session with a smartphone or flagging a video highlight so you can find it easily while you’re editing.īuy Now: GoPro Hero Session at .uk (£149) | ($199) There’s another button on the back that’s recessed. Next to this is a small LCD screen that lets you know how long you’ve been rolling for, how many pictures you’ve taken, the quality of video you’re shooting, and remaining battery life. Core features are covered by one button on the top of the GoPro Session. Physical controls are minimal, as you might expect with such a dinky little device. The bolts are there so you can replace it if the worst should happen – a replacement kit with two lens covers costs £34.99/$39.99. The lens is protected by a sheet of glass bolted on to the body and we’ve yet to scratch it in the slightest. GoPro has clad the Session in textured rubber, which makes it both grippy and tough. The good news is that we’ve dropped the Session half a dozen times during testing and it’s shrugged off all the bangs and bashes. There’s no such safety net when you’re holding the Session in your hand, though. This protects all but the lens area from the worst damage a drop can cause. The mount covers all the corners and edges of the Session, just like a case on your phone does. Once inside its mount that’s not too much of a problem. Losing a thick, tough outer shell does mean the Hero Session is more exposed to the elements, but also less protected from knocks and drops. GoPro claims this improves the quality of audio captured and we’re inclined to agree, but we’ll go into more detail on that later. The small grilles housing the microphones – one on the front and one on the back – aren’t covered. There’s another benefit to losing the waterproof case. The GoPro Hero Session compared to the Hero LCD+ That’s what makes the Hero Session so neat – it’s water-resistant for up to 10m/33ft without the need for a cover. And let’s face it, you’ll want your GoPro protected from the wet stuff more often than not. You can’t do that with any other GoPro.īut how small is it really? It’s just 35mm each side, which is just half the width, and a little more than half the weight, of a Hero4 Black in its water-resistant housing. In fact GoPro’s Senior Producer, Cort Muller, mentioned strapping the Session between the spokes of a bicycle. That makes a big difference when it comes to mounting a GoPro in an awkward position.

Everyone we’ve handed the GoPro Session to coos, “Look how small it is.” And that’s the nub of it – this is an extremely compact action camera, a full 50% smaller than its Hero4 siblings.
