GoPro Hero4 Session boasts of same built and rugged standards as the GoPro. It is waterproof upto 33 feet (10 meters). Its new waterproof design eliminates the need for a separate waterhousing and enhances audio performance during water-based activities.

The Hero4 Session features a sleek frame mounting system that is compatible with all existing GoPro mounts. Its dual microphone system can dynamically switch sound recording between microphones to reduce wind noise during activities, claims company.

It can capture GoPro-quality 1080p/60fps, 720p/100fps and 1440p/30fps video along with 8-megapixel photos in Single, Burst and Time Lapse modes. It also features some modes like SuperView, Protune and Auto Low Light recording mode taken from Hero4 Black and Silver cameras.
