GoPro HERO5 Session

Description

Though small in stature, the GoPro HERO5 Session action camera more than makes up for it in functionality and features. Retaining the familiar ice cube-sized form factor of the previous-generation HERO Session, the HERO5 Session ups the ante with UHD 4K video at up to 30 fps, 1080p video up to 90 fps, and 10MP photos at bursts up to 30 fps. The camera body itself is waterproof to depths of 10m and is shock-resistant, so even without a protective housing the HERO5 Session can take a licking.

Whether you want to clamp the HERO5 Session to a guitar headstock, boom it out on a selfie stick, or mount it to your surfboard, you will have all of GoPro's separately available three-pronged accessories to help get your shot. The included Standard Frame has an integrated accessory mount for securing accessories. A mounting buckle quick release for the Standard Frame, and two adhesive mounts (one curved and one straight) with quick releases, are included to get you started.

While more functionality has been integrated, the HERO5 Session is still easy to use. The one-button interface featured on the previous generation HERO Session is instantly familiar for accessing menu functions. If the camera is off, pressing the record button will power it on and immediately start recording. Hands-free control is also possible using the built-in Voice Control feature or the free mobile app. Speaking simple voice commands can control various functions inside the camera, including start/stop video recording, photo burst, and more.

Video Recording Modes
Select the desired resolution to fit your project. Record in UHD 4K resolution up to 30 fps, or switch to lower resolutions such as 1080p and 720p for access to higher frame rates, more FOV (Field of View) options, and electronic stabilisation. In 2.7K widescreen and lower resolutions, for instance, narrower FOV options open up including Medium, Narrow, and Linear mode (only available in 2.7K and 1080p settings), which corrects the lens's barrel distortion.

All video recording modes can be as simple or advanced as you want them to be. If you only want to ensure that a shot is captured, auto-exposure is at your disposal. For those who are shooting less off-the-cuff footage and want complete control, manual control of exposure is also available.

The HERO5 Session will always try to record the best audio quality possible. Using internal algorithms, the HERO5 Session can reduce artefacts from wind noise, making audio quality more acceptable, even in extreme circumstances.

Photo Modes

• Burst mode: Bursts of photos can be taken during high-action sequences to ensure that you capture the moment. The camera's buffer can fit up to 30 photos from a single burst, and burst durations can be set from six seconds to one second, effectively offering a 30 fps burst of 10MP photos.

• Time-Lapse mode: Record clouds floating by, traffic snaking through cityscapes, or stars and constellations tracing their way across the sky with the time-lapse mode. Set your interval from a picture every 1/2 second to every minute for different effects.
