With the Hero5 Session, GoPro adds 4K video recording to an impressively tiny midrange action camera.

Camera

The GoPro Hero5 Session looks largely unchanged from the Hero4 Session. It's a slightly lighter shade of dark gray, but physically it's the same 1.5-inch, 2.6-ounce rounded cube.

Top

The top holds a recording button and backlit monochrome LCD.

Connectors

A pop-out door on the left side hides a USB-C port and microSD card slot.

Case

The case is a thin plastic bumper you pop the camera into before clamping it shut with a small latch on the corner.

Mount

The included case has the mounting bracket needed to put the Hero5 Session on GoPro's many optional mounts.

Grip

This is one of the optional grips available for GoPro cameras.
