Small size, excellent video!
Bought the Hero 5 Session for an off-road motorcycle helmet mount. Camera is super easy to use and takes amazing video. No 4K image stabilization so Ive only used 2.7K and 1080p which both look super clear and very smooth.

GoPro Hero 5 Session : Size doesn’t matter
The super-portable GoPro Hero 5 Session isn’t quite the Hero 5 Black all-rounder, but is still a touch above the rest
Pros:
- Video recording at max 4K resolution
- Wind noise reduction
- Discreet
Cons:
- Lacklustre still image quality

GoPro Hero5 Session
GoPro's Session camera got off to a rocky start. The tiny cube-shaped shooter -- the smallest the company had ever made -- received praise for its design while simultaneously being bashed for middling video quality and too few features for too high a price.
Pros:
- The GoPro Hero5 Session is a big improvement in video and photo quality from the original Hero Session
- Additions like voice control, electronic video stabilization and USB-C help justify the $100 price difference
Cons:
- You'll have to connect to a phone or tablet to see what you're shooting
- The built-in battery means that once the battery is drained, you'll have to stop to charge or connect to a power source to keep recording

As we explained in our review of the GoPro Hero 5 Black , the action camera is not only a worthy inclusion in our gift guide series , it can also be used for business too. But if the $569.95 flagship edition of the Hero is a bit rich for you, there's a smaller, cheaper alternative: the $459.95 GoPro...

GoPro Hero5 Session Review
The GoPro HERO5 Session is odd. In fact, it looks boring. One lens, two buttons, and 1" cubical dimensions. It's not exactly your textbook recipe for 4K video, but this little sucker is a hell of a camera. Yes, better action cams exist, but for the size, it's a workhorse.
Pros:
- Up to 4K at 30fps
- Image stabilization
- Water resistant to 10ATM
- Voice commands
- Good battery life
Cons:
- No display for previewing/reviewing media
- Does not float

Recommended! No reason to buy Hero 5 black. Many fear the poor battery life on hero5 session without good reason. With GoPro Hero5 Session you can easily connect to an external charger that costs a few hundred pounds and you have longer battery life than Hero 5 Black.

Best action camera
Great little camera. Easy to use so far. Still need to fully put it through its paces.

Last year, GoPro went out on a limb with the GoPro Hero Session. It was the first time the company had overhauled its action camera chassis, and the first GoPro you could use in the wet without having to stick it in a case.

Awesome image poor wind options
Let me preface this with I looked at all the models and still chose this camera. I love the quality of the Hero 5 Session, the build, the video quality even all the options I have to mess around with settings and setups. But...
