Hero5 Session
Action Camera
The Hero5 Session from GoPro is a compact and rugged action camera. While it maintains the familiar size of the previous generation Hero Session, with the Hero5 Session it is possible to record 4K videos and shoot 10MP photos, up to 10 metres below water, without an external housing.
At a single press of a button the Hero5 Session is ready to use. From power off, simply pressing the record button will power on the camera and immediately start recording. A Voice Control feature is also available, offering hands-free operation. Use simple voice commands to control various camera functions, including start/stop video recording, photo burst, and more.
Shoot photos up to 10MP, and record video at 30fps in UHD 4K, or switch to lower resolutions such as 1080p and 720p for access to higher frame rates, more FOV (Field Of View) options, and electronic stabilisation. In 2.7K widescreen and lower resolutions, narrower FOV options open up, including Medium, Narrow, and the new Linear mode (only available in 2.7K and 1080p settings), which corrects the lens's barrel distortion.
All video recording modes offer auto-exposure. However for those that want complete control, manual exposure control is also available. Using internal algorithms, the Hero5 Session can also reduce artifacts from wind noise, for better audio quality.
Still images modes include Burst at up to 30 fps, to capture fast-action, and Time Lapse Mode. In Time Lapse Mode, set your interval from a picture every 1/2 second to once every minute, for a variety of effects.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity enable the Hero5 Session to interface with mobile devices and wireless accessories. Free apps from GoPro, CAPTURE and QUIK fully integrate the functionality of your Hero5 Session with your mobile. CAPTURE offers live preview, playback, and full camera control over Wi-Fi. QUIK is a quick editing platform for easy trimming and sharing of your recorded videos.
The Hero5 Session is compatible with a huge variety of mounting accessories, making it extremely versatile. It comes with the Standard Frame, which provides additional protection and allows for the addition of 3-prong accessories. Also included is a mounting buckle quick-release for the Standard Frame and two adhesive mounts; one curved and one straight.
