![]() But this is a GoPro, it’s supposed to be easy to use. The ISO sensitivity, for instance, can either be set to 400 or 1600, with nothing else to choose from. There isn’t a huge amount of tweaking you can do here. You can use it to trigger the camera if you wish, as well as review images and videos stored on the camera’s card, but I mostly used it to change up settings such as frame rate, video resolution and ISO. The iOS version of the app is the same as you’ll use with older GoPro cameras, and is straightforward to use once you’ve connected up the Session and your phone or tablet via Wi-Fi. Beyond that, it’s pretty much essential to use the app to tweak controls and settings, as well as preview the field-of-view when you’re setting up a time-lapse or long recording. If you want to start a time-lapse, just hold the button down for three seconds. As with other GoPro Hero models, there’s one-button control: by default, it’s set up so that you tap the red button to start recording video and tap it again to stop. Walking around town with the Session hooked up to my backpack’s shoulder strap via the QuickClip, I got the impression that nobody I passed had a clue I was capturing every line of their face in pristine 1080p 60fps video quality. The QuickClip is tiny, so teamed up with the similarly tiny Session it makes for a very discreet way to film. I tried it with three mounts: a head mount (“Wow, I look ridiculous.”), a chest mount (“OK, I look slightly less ridiculous.”) and a QuickClip, which allows you to swiftly attach the camera to a backwards baseball cap, rucksack strap or similar. ![]() You won’t get great audio unless it’s a sunny day with very little wind about – so almost never in the UK then. Unlike some GoPro models, the Hero4 Session also features a built-in microphone that delivers passable, if unspectacular sound. It’s waterproof to a depth of 10m out of the box without the need for a separate housing. Strap it to your chest, head, arm or other appendage and you’ll pretty much forget it’s on. While previous GoPros haven’t exactly been back-breaking millstones, the Session is on a different level entirely. The camera is so light as to be essentially weightless if you’re wearing it. A hatch on one side pops open to reveal a USB port for charging and data transfer, and a microSD card slot. You’re going to want to use the free GoPro app (for iOS, Android or Windows Phone) to delve into the camera’s settings, you see. ![]() A red light on the front blinks when the camera is recording, while a blue light tells you when the Session is connected to another device. There’s a rubberised, grippy texture around four sides, two buttons and a small, rectangular LCD panel that gives you some info about the current settings. The Session is a cuboid roughly 35mm in width, depth and height. The tiny cube that can’t be killed (at least not easily)
