“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.” Woodman adds, “I’m so excited about the launch of HERO4 Session because now I can finally use mine in public!”
IFrame
HERO4 Session can record videos at 1440p (@30fps), 1080p (@60fps) and 720p (@100fps). The lens is an 8mp unit and can take photos in single, burst and time lapse modes.
Using GoPro App or Smart Remote applications, users can get expanded set of controls. Long press of shutter button will turn the camera on and starts time lapse photo capture while short press will turn the camera on and start video recording. Another click will save the photo/video.
“At GoPro, sound quality is as important as image quality and we’re very excited about the stunning audio advancements we’ve made with HERO4 Session during water-based and windy activities. It’s incredible what this little GoPro can capture,” remarked Woodman.
