GoPro has announced their new camera, the HERO4 Session, that takes on a new smaller shape and still promises to be something great. The smallest camera GoPro has developed thus far looks a lot like Polaroid’s Cube camera and weighs only 2.6oz.
It’s one-button control allows you to capture 1080p video at 60 frames per second (fps) and take 8MP images. There are no other buttons available as everything is straight-forward in operation using the single button to power on/off the camera and start capturing. All settings and features are adjustable via GoPro’s app on your smartphone.
It comes with 3 frames for placement, is waterproof by itself (up to 33ft deep) and comes with most of the same features/settings as you find in the new HERO4 lineup (ie, ProTune, SuperView and more). Dual microphones help to capture better sound while filtering out ambient noise such as wind.
The new HERO4 Session will run you $399, so once again GoPro has launched something at a price that might make some buyers cringe. Personally for the price range, I’d rather go with the HERO4 Silver for the touch-screen display and not having to break out the cellphone every time I want to adjust something, but others might find the small size of the Session appealing.
The Session will begin shipping tomorrow (July 12th) and appear as available in multiple market places, including Amazon and GoPro’s website directly.

Sweet! I need 3, thanks 😀
GoPro Hero 4 Session: dimensioni e peso minori, ma filmati sempre al top
Hopefully the next version would be able to replace battery. If I have to recharge the built-in battery in the middle of skiing or mountain biking, it would be frustrating.
idk if I like it. the fact its light and all is cool but the housing saved my ass plenty of times, even got ran over by a car, destroyed the housing saved the camera. cool its a water proof camera but someone has to be pretty ballsy to do extreme sports with no protection of the camera I might get it if I see someone use it on a car im into drag racing and I don’t need this thing flying off smashing the ground shattering the camera and there goes a $400 ice cube
Updated my firmware on hero4 black to 2.0 and now it’s glitchy. Freezes and Stops recording at different times, purple screen during playback and grainy video with static lines in 4k mode. I know that it’s not the Sandisk 64gig 80mbps card because it worked flawlessly before the newest version. Too bad that I can’t go back to older version of firmware. Anyone know how to fix the glitch? Bricked camera in nothing more than a paperweight now.
Cool go pro
Cant we see you guys using gopro for something different? Its always the same sports and almost only sports. Try something different pleas 🙂

Is the App available for Windows Phone OSv8.1?
Introducing HERO4 Session, the smallest, lightest, most convenient GoPro yet. It’s rugged, waterproof design eliminates the need for a separate housing, while a single button powers on the camera and starts recording automatically. With 1080p60 video and 8MP photos, HERO4 Session delivers the professional image quality that has made GoPro famous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzMRr5eTtho

Why is this the same price as the Hero 4 Silver?
No 4k video? And that price is pretty expensive for an extra hundred dollars I can get the regular hero 4 black edition and have a lot more control of the camera without the use of a smartphone basically this camera has the same video quality as the hero 3+ no thanks only thing good is how small it is and how it auto flip and being able to rotate in the case
im buying gopro 4 silverthis camera suck i mean 400$ really?with hero 4 you have nigtlapsenight photoLCDand only 10 meter waterproof
So many possibilities…
Seriously? $400 for that? Its basically bare bones silver. At half that price it MIGHT be worth it.
that feeling, you just bought a hero 4 silver 🙁
WTF!!!….When I bought the gopro hero 2, after a while, it came out 3 ……. now I bought the Gopro hero 4 black edition for a few days, and this comes out !!! ….. luckily I prefer the 4 black edition !!!!
Doesn’t look like it takes gopro hero 4 batteries though…
430€?? Ffs I was thinking something around 100-150€
I would love one, you can do so much more creative angles with it!
Pretty expensive at 399$
Second!
First!
