GoPro Hero 4 Session Review

The Hero4 Session is a camera GoPro released in 2015. It incorporated a new cubed design that almost no action camera manufacturers use. I like the camera, some people don't because of the lack of touchscreen and hard to change settings without the app. It takes 8mp photos, and the video settings I will list below: 

WVGA 120fps
720p 100fps
720S (superview) 60fps
960p 60fps
960S 60fps
1080p 60fps
1440p 30fps

All of them have either Medium or wide angle mode. It does not have Active Video Stabilization, unlike the new GoPro fusion, which is almost a year and a half newer. The overall build quality of this camera is average for a GoPro. The only things that I would want is for the SD card cover to be actually waterproof, and for there to be a removable battery like the more expensive (and larger) cameras.
​
The camera is waterproof up to, or down to, 33 feet. When you take it out of the water it has a hollow, or tinny sound to the audio for 3-7 seconds, however, the video quality is very nice. All in all this is a very nice camera, for a astonishing $150 dollars.
