Is the GoPro Hero 5 Session WORTH Buying in 2019?!

Today we're checking out a blast from the 3 year past the GoPro Hero 5 session. This tiny camera is to this date one of the most unique offerings ever to come from action camera giant GoPro and honestly is still one of the coolest cameras I've ever gotten ahold of.

The real question though is should you buy something this old in 2019? Because a lot of new cameras have come out and some are strikingly good.

Lets find out!

I lost my Hero5 Session in July 2017, and just found it again under my dresser in November 2020. So pumped to record some new videos!

[BustedLeaf]

Almost a month in use. Session so far is the best camera I owned.

[paulthurston]

I still have my Session 5 and use it a lot. Still going strong in Dec 2023.

[snippy]

It’s the most ideal camera for motorcycle racing

[charlesstocker]

I run one on my motorcycle as a dash cam, does a great job and most importantly, it's waterproof! That's a big selling point for me.

[BLINC]

Had mine since it came out. Has everything you need, nothing you don’t. Perfect.

[LextechLighting]

bought one in a pawn shop today for $60 with original cable and paperwork like new. kicks ass!

[tommyg]

I wish they would have kept up with this series, but I think they created their own competition for their current action camera line.

[Lockk]

- FYI - it does work with the USB-C audio adaptor, I just used it a few days ago.

[carmeezy]

"the pillars of action!" Never gets old 😊

[zoompyreichman]

I wish they continued as hero 9 session. Was the best session for everything, high quality, and cheap!

[CavenInToTheWorld]

Just bought mine yesterday. Seller bought it 4 days ago and let it sit in a shelf then he decided to sell it. Still has 1 year warranty with the mall and it was the last stock from where he bought it. Checked it and bought it for $100. It was a deal for me since its brand new.

[MUNKYFPV]

I still have 2 of these and use them for HD recording on my FPV racing drones, they are the perfect form factor for 5 inch miniquad, so much so that other companies have tried to fill the gap by releasing their own box cameras that are the same dimensions but they don’t have GoPro quality video, built in superview and build quality of the session 5.

[alexis]

I have two of them - wish I bought more!

[KongGig]

The most portable camera for travel vlogging.

[SoUThCReATiOn]

Excellent video!! I still use my 5 Session in 2019 as a helmet cam for 1st person view cause its smaller and less weight

[BoZhaoengineering]

The purest action camera GoPro ever made. Do not forget about this word when 5 session came out to the market.

[thetrailoutthere]

I have the hero 7, 8, and 9 blacks but for some reason I enjoy the simplicity of the hero 5 session more. Definitely wish they still made them.

[DMX-PAT]

I just realized that the size of the session cube's is roughly the sam size of the human eye, after you remove the guts from the cube it's housed in. You could literally put it in your head if you were missing an eye and while wear glasses record the most high quality stealth video imaginable...

Fantastic for Drone FPV. Drone community has used this little nugget on many a multirotors.
