 Hey everybody, this is Sean O'Kane with The Verge, and this is the new GoPro, the Hero4 Session. So this is the first big redesign for GoPro basically ever. It's 50% smaller than a Hero4 Black, and 40% lighter. You can see they've actually shrunk it down to this sort of 1 inch cube size. It looks basically just like a Polaroid cube camera, but with GoPro's internals. It's got one button here on the top, so all you have to do to make it go is tap that, and within two or three seconds, you're recording. Simple. Hit it again and you stop it, and the camera turns off. You do have to change all the settings on the GoPro app on your phone. The only other button on this thing turns the Wi-Fi on and off. The battery on this thing lasts about two hours if it's running consistently, but you're always turning it on and off so it lasts even longer than that. We went white water rafting with it and it actually outlasted the Hero Plus LCD and the Hero4 Black. This was the last thing running at the end of the trip. The Hero4 Session can shoot video, photos, and time lapses, but it only shoots 8 megapixel photos and can only go up to 1440 at 30 frames a second, 1080p at 60 frames a second, and 720p at 100 frames a second. There's no 4K hidden in this little cube. The video still looks great though. It works exactly like you'd expect a GoPro to work. It does really well in sunlight and it works great in low light. The coolest thing about this camera though is its size and shape. You can fit it in more places than any other GoPro and it's waterproof right out of the box. You don't need any extra casing for it. It has two microphones too, one on the front and one on the back. It smartly switches between the two of them so there's less wind noise and it sounds better when you come out of water. Those are two pretty big complaints about previous GoPros. So the new camera also comes with a new casing and you just slide it inside and snap it in and it attaches to all the same accessories that GoPros sold throughout the years. The cool thing about it too is you can rotate the camera around like that so no matter where you have it stuck, you can always reposition the camera to make sure you're pointed in the right direction. Overall, I really love this thing. It's really easy to use, it lasts a long time, and it's just harder to notice when you're wearing it than any other GoPro before. The only real problem with it is it's $399. That's the same price as the Hero 4 Silver which lets you shoot in higher frame rates, has a screen on the back, and doesn't require you to use your phone to change the settings. Honestly if you're buying your first GoPro that might still be the best option, but the Hero 4 Session is small, it's simple, and it's a great camera.
