· By Press Office · 13 comments

GoPro, Inc., enabler of some of today’s most engaging content, is proud to announce HERO4 Session, the smallest, lightest, most convenient GoPro yet.

50% smaller and 40% lighter than GoPro’s best-selling HERO4 Black and Silver cameras, HERO4 Session packs GoPro’s Emmy® Award-winning image quality and performance into an exciting new low-profile form factor.

HERO4 Session benefits from a durable waterproof design that eliminates the need for a separate housing and features simple one-button control to make capturing immersive photos and video quicker and more convenient than ever before.

“With HERO4 Session, we challenged ourselves to produce the smallest, lightest, most convenient GoPro possible,” said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro founder and CEO. “HERO4 Session combines the best of our engineering and user-experience know-how to deliver our most convenient life-capture solution, yet.”

HERO4 Session captures GoPro-quality 1080p60, 720p100 and 1440p30 video along with eight megapixel photos in Single, Burst and Time Lapse modes. It features many of the same innovative features found in GoPro’s best-selling HERO4 Black and Silver cameras, including SuperView™, Protune and Auto Low Light recording modes. An expanded set of controls and settings can be accessed when using the GoPro App or Smart Remote.

A short press of the shutter button quickly powers the camera on and video recording begins automatically. A long press of the shutter button powers the camera on and triggers Time Lapse photo capture. Press the shutter button again to save video or photo content and power the camera off. This simple one button design drastically improves the speed and convenience of capturing life moments as they happen.

HERO4 Session is built to GoPro’s famous rugged standards and is waterproof to 10 meters (33 ft). It features a sleek frame mounting system that is compatible with GoPro’s expansive array of mounts.

An innovative dual microphone system dynamically switches sound recording between microphones to reduce wind noise during activities. Audio performance during water-based activities has been dramatically improved thanks to HERO4 Session’s waterproof design that eliminates the need for a separate waterhousing, which can often muffle sounds.

R8k!?

Gopro is certainly onto a good thing, you can get Canon or Nikons very decent entry level Dslr with a lense for less than that and the engineering and materials used is significantly more than any GoPro.

 

GoPro has quite a bit of competition these days, apart from the convenience of a huge range of avail/compatible mounts etc does the GoPro have that much over its competitors?

if you are a top end competitor and you need it for video analysis etc then this new one is fantastic due to its form factor..and I would say its worth the 8k...but then my instagram was full of all these top end competitors opening their new hero 4 box because they are all sponsored by them!...so for average joe like you and me....no its not imo..hence why i posted the video above...cos thats what it ends up being

The small form factor one is R6500 guys ($400), it's the full on Hero 4 Black that's R8K (which is still nuts, to be honest, but they are awesome)
