It’s still an adorable cube-shaped camera, but it’s ever so slightly bigger. In truth, the design has barely changed from the original Session. Even just holding the camera for shooting quick videos is made easier due to the Session’s size and shape.
Think leg-mounting while climbing, for example. As such, it makes for a great secondary camera for multi-camera shoots. The Hero 5 Session will appeal for its smaller form factor compared to GoPro’s more traditional cameras, making mounting it to trickier positions an easier proposition. GoPro Hero 5 Session – Design and Accessories Fortunately, if you shop around, most places are still selling the Hero 5 Session at or below its original retail price, so be sure to shop around. That’s the same £50 increase seen with the GoPro Hero 5 Black, which is a move seen across numerous tech products in the UK following Brexit. When the Hero 5 Session first launched, it arrived with a UK RRP of £249.99 but its official price has subsequently increased to £299.99. This year’s Hero 5 Session takes the place of the Silver and can now be considered the more entry-level or sidekick camera to the top-end Hero 5 Black.
GoPro has streamlined its models this year and done away with the Silver companion to the flagship Black model. But where the Hero Session initially struggled to find its footing, launching at the same price as the better-performing Hero 4 Silver (£330), before having its price slashed multiple times, the Hero 5 Session’s purpose is far clearer. The Hero 5 Session sees the return of the cubic form factor that GoPro debuted with last year’s Hero Session (originally launched as the Hero 4 Session). The Hero 5 Session is still available to buy from third-party sellers via Amazon, though, as long as you don’t mind the potential delays and risks inherent in buying from third-party stores. Editor’s note: The Hero 5 Session has now been discontinued by GoPro, with its entry-level model now the GoPro Hero.
