Gopro Hero 4 Session review. How good is it in 2023? Is gopro ever going to bring back the hero session? They now have the GoPro Hero 11 mini, however that one is still pretty big and isn't always reliable. This one is, however the stabilisation is far from good, and the low light image quality as well. But that doesn't mean it's a bad camera. It is still a decent action camera in 2023. Not the best one, but it can be pretty cheap when you buy it used. And because of it's small form factor, you can put it in a lot of places.

Shot on: Sony A5100

I wish they’d bring back this form factor, but with ibis. Such a simple and clean looking camera

Very cool little camera. Great for some basic recording on a simple trip. 👌

I have the hero 4 session that I use on my drones. The videos are a bit wavy, kind of. Hard to explain, they aren't always like that though. I imagine it's due to vibrations. That being said, the damn thing is bullet proof. It's hit the ground, trees, all kinds of crap. Hell it fell off the drone 1 time, plummeted like 100 feet to the ground, and stayed recorded the entire time haha I should clarify, it didn't land on concrete or asphalt, just dirt and grass. But still, it's tough.

this was such a great compact and convenient camera. I wish they continued it even if it was bi-annually.

Nice video and editing. Not as shaky as the GoPro footage :)
I already have the camera, but don't know anything about it so I watched this. I am really happy with it, except that it's micro USB annoys me, but I guess that was standard in 2015.

So, what's a good inexpensive camera in this form factor now?

I’ve had mine for 5 years and it has problems. I wish i knew how to solve the issue of it shutting of after 6 seconds so that makes downloading the media almost impossible. Other than that I love the size and shape.

I don't have session but really wanna get one because.... It's still hype for fpv freestyle pilots, also we don't use stabilization for freestyle usually. It's color and sound are still good. It can use sd card(dji a2 cant) and nice sounds!

This was my first camera.

The 1080 P is a NICE, but in lighting or stabilization is *horrid.*

The microphone system is decent however depending on the case.
The HERO that is coming out recently I hope will fix many of the problems that the session had.

If not then I’m sticking with my session.

Can you connect them to the Atem Pro Mini (does it output hdmi).

Is 100$ plus taxes a good deal on a used one ? 8mp

I have the session, session 4, session 5 and all of them have stabilization. Stabilization has to be turned on for it to work....but by far the session 5 is far better at it

How do you pair the camera with a new phone? I can’t find an app.

Just bought the session 5. I hope I've done the right thing in 2023. 😅

I don't think anyone should buy this camera in 2024, since there is no way to replace the battery, buying a used one will probably be a failure because the battery will last for 10 minutes, for me it's an idiotic idea to design a camera for sports without the possibility of quickly replacing the battery
