Expect almost two hours of solid recording time, storage space permitting.The Black has professional grade low-light performance, while the Session opts for consumer grade. Put that side by side with the Hero 5 Black’s 1hr 45mins, and you’re looking at a noticeable improvement. Taking it out and about on my commute, I reached roughly 1hr 40mins of stop/start footage, with the battery only just dipping below 40%. One thing the Session has in its favour is its overall battery life. There’s little chance of rescuing unusable shots taken with the Session, either, as it lacks the RAW export of its Black sibling. Several shots were also quite underexposed, especially when I put them side by side with the shots I’d taken with the Hero 5 Black. Colours are vibrant enough, but are noticeably lacking in detail. You can take stills with the 10-megapixel camera, but this isn’t the Hero 5 Session’s strong suit. The good news is that its dual microphone is now much louder and clearer than its predecessor, thanks to its improved wind-noise reduction, so at least it can pick up plenty of sound. It’s not such a good performer in low light, either, with noise issues being far more commonplace than footage taken with plenty of natural light, and colours looking a little muted. Like the Hero 5 Black, the Session’s colour saturation is a touch cold for my tastes, even if I was thwarted by the gloomy British weather and could only record while it was overcast. Some of the frame rate and resolution pairings are a little limited compared to its pricier counterpart, with 1,440p only hitting a maximum of 60fps rather than 80fps for instance, but there’s still plenty to keep you satisfied on your adventures. Higher frame rates are available at lower resolutions, going up to a maximum of 120fps at 720p. Video of GoPro Hero 5 Session night-time timelapse Video is recorded at a higher 60Mbits/sec bit rate, a bump up from 25Mbits/sec, making a huge difference to its overall quality. Video quality was top-notch, I was impressed with how sharp and detailed my test footage looked, and it offers a significant step up from last year’s Session. Footage like the Hero 5 Black is limited to 30fps. The biggest addition to the Hero 5 Session, however, is that it can now capture 4K video. You can also make simple edits via Quik, splicing together footage with just a few taps.

Here, you can adjust the field of view, video quality, ISO and exposure levels. The app is easy enough to use, though, and is far more responsive than the sluggish touchscreen of the Black. I didn’t realise how much I’d miss the Black’s touch display, even if it was a little finicky from time to time, with the convenience of never needlessly draining your smartphone battery. However, unlike the Hero 5 Black, the Session doesn’t come with a helpful touchscreen, so you won’t be able to dig deep into the settings unless you open up GoPro’s Capture app on your phone.
