hey everybody this is Sean Oh came with a verge and this is the new GoPro the hero4 session so this is the first big redesign for GoPro basically ever it's fifty percent smaller than a hero4 black and forty percent lighter and you can see they've actually shrunk it down to this sort of one inch cube size it looks basically just like a polaroid cube camera but with GoPros internals it's got one button here on the top so all you have to do to make it go is tap that and within two or three seconds you're recording simple hit it again and you stop it and the camera turns off you do have to change all the settings on the GoPro app on your phone the only other button on this thing turns the Wi-Fi on and off the battery on this thing lasts about two hours if it's running consistently but you're always turning it on and off so it lasts even longer than that we went whitewater rafting with it and it actually outlasted the hero+ LCD and the hero4 black this is the last thing running at the end of the trip the hero4 session can shoot video photos and time lapses but it only shoots eight megapixel photos and can only go up to 1440 at 30 frames a second 1080p at 60 frames a second and 720p 100 frames a second there's no 4k hidden in this little cube the video still looks great though it works exactly like you'd expect a GoPro to work it does really well in sunlight know where it's great in low-light the coolest thing about this camera though is its size and shape you can fit it in more places than any other GoPro and it's waterproof right out of the box you don't need any extra casing for it it has two microphones - one on the front and one on the back and it smartly switches between the two of them so there's less wind noise and it sounds better when you come out of water those are two pretty big complaints about previous GoPros so the new camera also comes with a new casing and you just slide it inside and snap it in and it attaches to all the same accessories that GoPro sold throughout the years the cool thing about it too is you can rotate the camera around like that so no matter where you have it stuck you can always reposition the camera to make sure you're pointed in the right direction overall I really love this thing it's really easy to use it lasts a long time and it's just harder to notice when you're wearing it than any other GoPro before the only real problem with it is it's $399 that's the same price as the hero4 silver which lets you shoot in higher frame rates has a screen on the back and doesn't require you to use your phone to change the settings honestly if you're buying your first GoPro that might still be the best option but the hero4 session is small it's simple and it's a great camera
