This is the bread and butter of GoPro and looks good for everything. This is a great mode for awesome POV content. If you want the 16×9 version of 1440, this mode does the dynamic stretching, giving the most amount of vertical FOV in a 16×9 mode. When editing I either utilize the dynamic stretch techniques or crop the vertical height to fit a 16:9 1080 timeline. I tend to keep my camera in this mode about half the time. This is one of my favorite modes in the camera – it looks awesome, is high resolution, and is great for POV.
#Gopro hero 4 vs gopro session 1080p
This is the 4:3 version of 1080, so it’s the same width as 1080P but taller at 1440 px vertically. HERO4 Session packs a powerful punch for its size and has the key video modes to get dynamic and high quality video. You can change video mode, use single photo or burst modes, dial in your video settings with ProTune, and tag moments with Highlight Tag. Once you’re connected to either the app or the smart remote you can setup the camera with the modes you want. GoPro has a new version of the app along with the release of HERO4 Session which is more intuitive and walks you through the pairing process much more seamlessly than previous versions. It can make use of the GoPro app as well as the GoPro Smart Remote.
#Gopro hero 4 vs gopro session Bluetooth
The camera has WiFi and Bluetooth built in for easy control, viewing, and sharing. If you want to change modes or access all of the different GoPro features you’re used to, you’ll need to use the GoPro App on a smart device or the GoPro remote. If you hold down the button it’ll turn on and start taking photos at a rate of 2 per second. You press the power/shutter button once and it’ll turn on and start recording press it again and it’ll stop recording and turn off. GoPro went with a new approach with this camera and the way you interact with it. I’m always surprised at how much life you get out of a single charge – it’s rated to get up to 2 hours of recording time, but honestly I’ve charged it before I leave for a weekend in Tahoe and still have battery left at the end of the weekend! The battery life is something I can really boast about with this camera, which is good because it’s an integrated battery design (you can’t take it out).

The camera is square in it’s front face design so you can fit it into the included frame housing at any orientation (right-side up, upside-down, 90 vertical, or 270 vertical). HERO4 Session is 40% lighter and 35% smaller than a HERO4 Black in a housing. You can take it surfing, kayaking, snorkeling, or anything else short of deep sea diving. This means you can toss it anywhere, get it dirty, and wash it off in the sink, all while recording. The camera is fully waterproof up to 33 feet (10 meters) without a housing. There are some key features this thing boasts that really make it unique in terms of the versatility, size/weight, and battery. It looks like the lens of a HERO4 was cut out from the camera – that’s essentially the idea behind the form factor – to create something smaller and even more versatile than the existing line of HERO4 cameras that can be either a great standalone product, or a tool for creating additional angles for any existing GoPro owners. HERO4 Session is the ideal balance between performance & simplicity. Looking for a guide for a different GoPro? Check out all of my complete guides here:
