But how does it size up? Let’s move onto the next section. It’s just a standard micro-USB cable, like those used on non-Apple phones.Īs may be obvious…it’s a perfect little square. Then we’ve got the USB cable that plugs into the unit. Next are the frame ‘cases’, I’ll dive into these a bit more later – but essentially they’re brilliant. And finally to the far right is a new low-profile adapter for the Hero4 Session to keep it lower to a helmet. While the one in the middle is a new ball-joint mount that rotates around and locks in place. The one to the left is the most common one you’ve seen on past GoPro units. One sticky mount is flat, the other curved (for helmets). Then we’ve got the sticky mounts and previously noted box plate mount.

Once you dig everything out of the box, here’s what you’ve got waiting for you:įirst up is the manual and GoPro stickers: The unit itself is attached within one of the frame cases, which is in turn attached to one of the standard GoPro mounts, which is finally attached to a solid baseplate that you can always save for later use (ideal for putting on a ledge/table/etc…). It comes in a box design fairly similar to GoPro’s other higher end cameras. With that – let’s dive into things! Unboxing:įirst up we’ll get this little nugget unboxed.

I’ll be keeping that one to answer questions here on the post. The other device was one I just bought myself (full price). That one will be going back to them shortly, like usual. One device was sent over as a media eval from GoPro to check out. And the results might just surprise you (both good and bad).Īs is always the case, I like to declare where I got devices. I’ve taken it (well, them actually) on multiple trips (actual vacations!) and beat the crap out of it in every way I could think of. I’ve been testing it since release, and have a pretty good handle on how it works. Yet this past Monday, they made the logical decision to drop the price to $299, so I figured I’d get around to clicking publish on my in-depth review taking into account that pricing change. The unit made headlines due to its small size compared to existing GoPro units. To power off, press the menu button (it will then shutdown in 30 seconds) or select “EXIT MENU” for an immediate shutdown.It’s been about almost three months since GoPro announced their Hero4 Session action cam. It will now be in the mode you have selected, and have exited the menu, ready for shooting. Once scanned successfully it will display “Good Scan” and then double-beep. Point the camera at the center of the code, hold it still for about a second. The larger the QR Code, the easier it is to scan.
#Gopro session 5 code
Whether you scan a QR Code from a laptop screen or a mobile phone, the code should be a minimum 1.5”/40cm in size with the camera about 6”/15cm away. The camera will remain on for 30 seconds, plenty of time to scan your QR Code. The menu will function normally, but within a moment or two it will display “QR Ready”. Boot the camera with the menu button, then press the menu button again when the screen turns on.
