Gopro hero session5/1/2023 The update also improves the time it takes to connect to the camera over Wi-Fi and the camera now turns on quicker when you press the info button. Now you can switch between single and burst photo modes on the camera itself. One frustration when the Session originally launched was that you couldn’t take a single photo without using the app. The latest firmware update (v02.00) added quite a few handy features, including extra ProTune options including the ability to select Flat colours as well as GoPro Colours. This gives you more mounting options, and the camera will automatically rotate video when it’s upside down. It doesn’t have a video output and you can’t realistically use the Wi-Fi connection and the app for FPV.Īs the Session is square, you can put it into the frame in any orientation you like. We mentioned drones at the start, but really the Session isn’t a drone camera. You can use microSD cards up to 64GB, and GoPro says you need a Class 10 or UHS-1 card. The microUSB port and microSD slot are behind a sprung door so the camera isn’t waterproof while charging. It means you can’t simply pop in a fully charged spare when it runs out it takes roughly an hour to fully charge from empty. The battery isn’t removable – shock, horror – which will be a deal-breaker for some. The USB cable is useful as it’s used to charge the Session. In the box you get a meagre selection of accessories, including the open frame plus curved and flat adhesive mounts.

The 720p100 mode is the most useful for slo-mo but it’s a far cry from the 1080p120 or 720p240 modes which a lot of modern phones support. So, there are a couple of points to note. 1080p at 60 or 30fps (48 or 30fps in SuperView).If you don’t fancy using a phone, GoPro also sells a ‘smart remote’ – you canīuy it from Currys for £58. This doesn’t give you a video preview, though. The app is also used to adjust settings and can also work as a remote control to start and stop filming (or take photos). That means you have to either guess if your framing is right or use the free GoPro app on your phone. There’s one missing feature: a preview screen. It’s not entirely successful – wind noise is still an issue – but compared to previous generations of the Hero (particularly the second gen) and many rival action cams, audio is very good indeed. The Session automatically switches between the two to try and get the best quality and cut down on wind noise. Notice we said microphones: there are two – one front and one rear. This reduces bulk and weight, but also means better audio quality as the microphones aren’t sealed inside a plastic box. Better still, it’s waterproof without a separate housing. Plus, it’s about 35 percent lighter at 74g. It’s a cube and roughly half the size (volume) of the Hero4. Quite obviously, the Session does not follow previous GoPro designs.
