New GoPro Hero4 Session; How small is too small?

Go Pro’s are awesome cameras. People who are more accustomed to higher-end camera equipment generally complain about the sound recording quality, but other than that? What is there not to love about the sturdy and portable cameras?

And with the advent of the all new GoPro Hero4 Session edition, a good thing becomes even better. The new Hero4 Session is even smaller (about 1.5 x 1.5 inches) than its predecessors, and comes in a unique cube shape, different than the rectangular ones it follows. Other advantages include it being completely waterproof (other GoPro cameras require a plastic case to keep out water), and the fact that it’s so small and light allows for side mounting (on a helmet, motorcycle, or variety of other surfaces), which is not advised with older, larger GoPro models. However, like all GoPro cameras, there are a few logistical issues.

The new camera takes 4 seconds to turn on and start recording, so if your buddy is about to launch off a sketchy rope swing and you’re on camera duty, be sure to have your camera rolling well ahead of time. Also, to watch playback as you film, you either need to connect it to your smartphone via the GoPro app, or to a separate GoPro remote. But who has time to watch the replay when you’re out doing adventurous, awe-inspiring activities, anyway? For our money, GoPro cameras are amongst the most versatile, and fun to use on the market, nonetheless. For the whole review, check the video below.
