It can record at up to 1,920x1,440 at 30fps, 1,920x1,080 at 60fps and 1,280x720 at 100fps, but there are many more options than just those.

Or if you have to mount it upside down, the camera will automatically flip the video 180 degrees when you start recording.ĭespite being set to a default recording resolution of 1080p at 30 frames per second (fps), you can use the mobile app or Smart Remote to access all settings. This means that no matter how you attach the frame's mount - to the top, bottom, left or right - you just position the camera in the frame so it's right-side up. The included frames that are included for mounting the Session take advantage of the camera's cube design. The Session's waterproof build solves this.Īlso, the housings for other Hero models only have one mounting point and that's on the bottom. Or I've wanted better audio, but only had the completely sealed waterproof back.

You might think having to use a housing isn't the end of the world and it's not, but there have been several times when I've needed my GoPro to be waterproof and only had the open, skeleton back. Also, the Prime X is a cylinder and can be rotated within its mounts until its lens is upright and level, while the Roam3 and Ghost-S have rotating lenses to accomplish the same thing.

Cameras such as the Replay XD Prime X, iON Air Pro 3, Contour Roam3 and Drift Ghost-S don't need a housing to protect them from water. Like the name implies, the Session is GoPro's grab-and-go model - the one that you'll take to shoot that skate session or ski session or hanging-out-with-your-family session, without having to worry as much about where and how you're going to shoot with it.Īgain, the Session directly addresses some of the design advantages of GoPro's competition. But it also addresses some of the biggest criticisms leveled at the company's other Hero models. So, yes, the Session's smaller dimensions force some compromises.

Also, Sony's Action Cam Mini HDR-AZ1 is very small as well and although it's just splashproof without a housing, it delivers overall better video quality and features than the Session. In fact, it's hard to see why you would bother considering the Hero+ unless you really want the design of the other Hero cameras and need something waterproof to 131 feet(40 meters). Now down at $200, the Session is competing with the GoPro Hero+, which has fewer shooting options than the Session. (That late 2014 model snagged a CNET Editors' choice, and remains our most recommendable action cam overall.) At $400 it was competing with the company's Hero4 Silver, which offers better video quality, more shooting options, a removable/replaceable battery, Micro-HDMI output and a built-in touchscreen. The more compact, rugged design really is the biggest reason to consider the Session, which currently costs $200 (£160, AU$300) following two, $100 price cuts from its original $400.
