GoPro launch the Hero5 Session

20 September 2016

GoPro launch the Hero5 Session

Yesterday GoPro announced the hotly anticipated Karma drone.  What we weren't sure was whether there would be new cameras - surely they would have been shown at IBC?  Well, we have two and they will be with us in a matter of weeks.  So firstly, the new GoPro Hero5 Session.

When the original Session came out, GoPro rather scored an own goal but pricing it way too high - a shame as they really are very useful.  Lesson learnt and price dropped, they have proved very popular (I have a couple personally).

So the big news is that 4K recording is now available up to 30p.  Equally good news is the inclusion of Image Stablisation - will be interesting to how it fares against the Sony's.  GoPro have also added voice control to the camera - strangely enough, whilst sounding like a gimmick, I can think of times that could be quite useful!

Here are the official points - 

· Video Resolutions up to 4K at 30 Frames per Second

· Professional Quality 10MP Photos

· Auto-Upload of Photos and Video to Cloud when Camera is Charging*

· Voice Control with Support for 7 Languages (additional languages coming)

· Simple 1-Button Control

· Waterproof Without a Housing to 33 Feet (10m)

· Compatible with Existing GoPro, Mounts Including Karma

· Professional-Grade Electronic Video Stabilization

· Distortion-Free Wide Angle Video and Photos with new Linear-View Setting
