At 1.5-inch, the GoPro HERO4 Session is the company's smallest camera ever, (it's 50% smaller than other HERO4 cameras). Cube-shaped, it sits perfectly in your palm and can shoot 1080p video, still images, and time-lapses. There's only one main button which takes just one tap to turn it on and start recording, and one tap to stop.

What's more is that, unlike its bulkier older brothers, the HERO4 Session doesn't require a plastic box to be taken out into the water

Why you should buy it
It's a versatile, durable, waterproof camera for capturing fast-paced moments of life, minus the complicated nature of previous GoPro's two-button design and menu system.
The HERO4 Session would be a good addition to a content creator's camera kit, enabling them to capture some unique perspectives that weren't available before, effectively enhancing their storytelling abilities.
Its lightness and low-profile design make it a great complement for bikers who want a helmet-mounted action cam, or musicians looking to capture interesting angles at a gig.
The Session's small size makes it mountable in places the other bigger Hero cameras can't be.

The smaller size also makes it easier to hide — a big boon for hidden camera shows or for recording reactions.
This is the easiest to use GoPro yet.
It's a little 1.5-inch cube, so it's small enough to mount just about anywhere. Fully waterproof without a case, even the microphones.
