12/30/2023 0 Comments Hero 4 session![]() Of course, a mere resolution spec really isn’t all that matters. Phew! So many current-generation options. Here’s a quick breakdown of just the top-end resolutions (of at least 24FPS) and 720p top frame rates for each of the units on the ever expanding GoPro lineup: This is notable because with the smaller form factor it’d be ideal for higher frame rate shots where only the smallest of cameras could fit easily. Thankfully though, the Hero4 Session does manage to squeak out up to 100FPS (frames per second) on 720p. While the Hero4 Session tops out at 1440p, which is a notch above 1080p. Getting back to the Session though, looking at the technical capabilities the main differences here between this and the Hero4 Silver is that the Silver has the higher end 2.7K and 4K footage capabilities (and higher frame rates). Your disposable camera with the wind-up shutter made better pictures than that thing did. However as a buyer of that camera, it was a mess when it came to specs and most importantly – quality. Many might look back at the Polaroid Cube action camera as being similar in size. Weight-wise, the units differ quite a bit too – with the Hero4 Session sitting at 74g being internally waterproofed, versus the Hero4 Silver/Black at 147g with a waterproof case (or 84g totally non-waterproof). If you look at the Hero4 Session compared to any of the other GoPro Hero4 units, it’s a sizeable difference when you include the case: ![]() Of course, the biggest difference is size. That means it sits below the Hero4 Silver and Hero4 Black, but is above the much cheaper Hero Base unit. The Hero4 Session from a spec standpoint is sorta a marriage between the Hero4 Silver and the recently introduced Hero+ LCD camera. I’ll update this post with more detailed hands-on imagery as I get actual hands-on time. I’ve been talking with GoPro the last few days, but my Hero4 Session for review is a bit tangled up in customs right now – it happens every once in a while…usually at the most inopportune times. Of course, information about the camera is still pretty fresh. Most notably, the entire pod is fully waterproofed down to 33ft (10m) – ideal for just about anything water-related except diving. This small cube-like camera shoots up to 1440p footage (that’s a little above your standard 1080p HD), as well as works with the existing GoPro mount lineup. Today GoPro has introduced its tiniest camera to date, the Hero4 Session. ![]() Please click on over to that post to get my final impressions of the unit. Please note: My Full In-Depth Review is now published and available.
