with the release of the GoPro Hero 5 Black Nick Woodman the CEO of GoPro has finally been able to release the action camera he wanted to create from the get-go and if you're in the market for an action camera you might be considering either the GoPro Hero 5 black or the GoPro Hero 5 session at the time of this recording you can pick up a GoPro Hero 5 black with a 32 gig microSD card head strap and carrying case for 399 from Amazon link is in the description first let's talk about the form factor the hero 5 black is 2 and 130 inches by 1 in 1/3 inches by 1 and 1/2 inches it's pretty small in volume but it's pretty dense so it'll sink to the bottom if dropped in a pool or lake this is also a great segue to let you know that this camera is waterproof down to 33 feet underwater any deeper and you'll need to get a dive case the Hero 5 black features a 2 inch screen on the back this is obviously a standard feature if you're deciding between the hero fly black or the hero 5 session all the other screen doesn't have the highest pixel density it gets the job done you can also quickly change between video picture or time-lapse mode you can even adjust the resolution frame rate and field of view just to name a few since battery life is a big concern the screen will automatically shut off after a minute of inactivity or after a minute of continuous recording but don't worry the GoPro is still recording and the screen turns back on quickly from just a single tap the Hero 5 black also still has the classic LCD screen on the front and just like before it'll show you how many videos or pictures you have approximately how much space you got left on the SD card and battery life it is worth noting the touch screen can be a little tough to use at times and using the screen when it's wet is near impossible but don't worry you can also connect the camera to your smartphone through GoPros app in the app you can use your phone as a viewfinder watch your videos or even adjust the camera settings on the left side of the device there is a door that when lifted gives you access to the cameras - connection port one micro HDMI port and one USB type-c port the type-c USB port allows for faster transfer speeds and charging rates the faster transfer speed is a big deal if you're going to be recording a lot of 4k video as mentioned before this camera is waterproof down to 33 feet underwater and it's all things through these gaskets just make sure to close a compartment properly before going for a swim or else you're gonna have a bad time on the bottom of the GoPro there's another compartment that holds the battery and SD card unlike the Hero 5 session the battery here is removable and it's another feature that might make you consider this camera over the session this is a thousand two hundred twenty million battery and it's good for 40 minutes to two hours of battery life battery life on the hero five is all dependent on the resolution frame rate if you have GPS voice control or image stabilization turned on one those in a second and how long the touchscreen has been on the hero five black is not just a hero five session with the touchscreen and removable battery it also has a better camera that gives you more capture options the Euro five black can do everything the hero five and hero Sacha can do but here are a few standout settings that make this camera special first off you can capture 4k video in 30 or 25 frames per second with a wide field of view or 24 frames per second in super view or wide field of view it can also capture 1080p video at 120 frames per second in wide or narrow field of view whereas the Hero 5 session is kept at 90 frames per second in wide field-of-view the hero4 black can also capture ultra slow motion 720p video at 240 frames per second with the narrow field of view the hero 5 black can also capture stills in 20 megapixels whereas a Hero 5 session can only do 10 megapixels in the hero session 8 megapixels as mentioned before this camera also has image stabilization it's the software kind not a mechanical kind what I've preferred mechanical and stabilization yes but the software does a great job of correcting the video the hero4 black also has a built-in gps that will geotag your pictures and video this GPS feature is left on the hero 5 session and finally the hero 5 black also has voice control it allows you to tell it to start recording take a picture or stop recording it's very accurate and can be very helpful if you have gloves on or if the screen is what but if you choose to use any or all these features at once it'll take a total battery so which GoPro should you get while GoPro now has an action camera for almost every consumer if you want to capture 4k video or you want to capture slow-motion video in 1080p or even ultra slow motion video in 720p at 240 frames per second you you should get the hero 5 black if you need an action camera with the removable battery that you can swap out so you can keep recording then you should also get the hero flat black but if you don't need to capture raw or wdr photos or if you don't even know what that means you need to pick up the hero 5 or hero session links to their reviews and where to get them are in the description well if you made it this far and leave us a like it really helps if you like videos like this subscribe there's more to come if you're looking for more product reviews or fitness advice head over to jim carrey net catch you guys next time
