With the rise in recent years, sports camera products, which has already become an indispensable tool for sports enthusiasts. Compared to traditional camera motion camera capable of recording a unique perspective to moments, as the first to develop such products GoPro has already laid the status of industry leader, now in HERO4 camp has added a new member --Session, whether it give us what kind of surprise, if you will pay for this little guy, we are concerned that Session today.
Body compact and easier to carry and shoot
The reason why the new Session so by the user's attention, because it has natural causes in the past HERO4 product is different from the shape, cube shape makes Session HERO4 compared to the previous products in the volume was reduced by 50% and weight by 40%. For portability known to sports camera, so the size and weight reduction are very rare.
Condensed into a cube Session main benefit is two, one is easy to carry, it is to facilitate a settlement and shooting everywhere. Easy to carry well understood, smaller thing, put in his pocket will not feel of space. Many users will be fixed on the bicycle GoPro products, safety helmets, and even location shooting on a skateboard surfboard, under less weight means of violent shaking in the same arm (stent length), the base of the force applied smaller, so it is less likely to fall. For example, we used the 3M stickers, with Session use can exhibit more stable results.
Surface material aspects, Session body with full plastic material, and with a kind of skin coat, feels feel good. Twill body to a certain extent, help the user grasping the body. A narrow monochrome LCD screen is placed at a position near the top of the fuselage after this position can be a good help users understand Session of the shoot, the remaining space and the remaining charge. In addition through the rear fuselage of the button, use the capture key combination, the LCD screen will prompt the phone to connect with key information useful.
Pull the open side of the fuselage snaps, the cover is integrated into a microSD card slot and a microUSB port, dependent on network conditions compared to the whereabouts of mobile phones or other mobile devices to export a large number of captured video, microSD card out appear to be more direct and more violent, and more convenient in the field, it is the traditional transmission mode I personally like.
Quite satisfactory performance parameters
Since the volume of the entire body is reduced, so the camera is very prominent, occupying a surface area of the cube. However, because Session Location HERO4 series which in the end product, so the performance parameters and not more sophisticated than HERO4 Silver and Black. Session has the highest 1080p 60 frame / 1440p 30 frame video recording capabilities, as well as 8 million pixels Single / Multi ability to take pictures of delay.
Silver compared to its main disadvantage is that because of smaller reasons no LCD screen, which is not conducive to the user to quickly identify the precise picture and composition. In comparison flagship Black not only the lack of the LCD screen, and not with 4K shooting, it is clearly for the small size and integrated endurance and sacrifice.
While Session positioning is not high-end, performance is quite satisfactory with only such adjectives. But 1080p enough to use it? I think for most users it is certainly adequate. From Life video volume and machinery to consider, 1080p is definitely the best shooting size.
Support 10 meters waterproof with a waterproof case to say goodbye
In fact waterproof case accessory is almost an essential accessory for all users. Housings not only can help users achieve waterproof function underwater photography, but also can play a protective effect on the body. But heavy waterproof case also seriously affected the portability and stability placement, then the best solution is to not waterproof shell, Session did it! Session itself is already supported by 10 meters waterproof, the waterproof feature alone has been fully able to meet the daily needs. The package comes with a protective frame can play a protective function of the original waterproof shell, so by Session improvement, not only inherited the dual function of waterproof case, but also the success of weight loss, a change can be said to serve two purposes.
Connect your phone slightly cumbersome
No LCD screen means that you draw quality and composition requirements more stringent rules when you need to connect the mobile device to achieve real-time viewing, the phone is connected to the main device used by the user. As the first experience of the user, I used iPhone 6 a Session connection attempt.
1, through the "key + camera key" combination to open wireless connection and Bluetooth. 2, through the "key + camera key + camera key" combination tap Connect device functions. 3, back on the phone is open GoPro App, choose to connect the device to search. 4, corresponding to the body of the last four passwords tap. 5, query and enter the phone numbers Session 4 LCD display. 6. Set Wifi account and password. 7, open the phone in Settings >> Wireless LAN select just set a good account name and password input Wifi connection. After a full six steps, Session finally realized the connection with the iPhone 6, relatively little trouble. And compared to other Android phone users, I found that the connection process is greatly simplified. Perhaps Apple's security requirements are relatively high because of, but in general for the first time to connect to the phone really wasted a lot of my time, the process a bit cumbersome.
Also worth a little Tucao App interface is in English, which is obviously not conducive to those with poor English friends to connect, set up and use. Fortunately, I get a message, GoPro official in August will launch a Chinese version of the App, which is GoPro's first other language versions, which shows the extent of GoPro hot in the domestic market as well as the emphasis on the domestic market in addition to the English version of the software.
Abandoned standby / life up to 2.5 hours
Session As a result of the smaller size and lighter weight design, which the battery life of the space and the actual generation of challenges. To further help users saving, GoPro the body directly in HERO4 Session cancel the standby state, so Session was not always in power is to shut down the state, directly off will effectively reduce power consumption. And for Session LCD viewfinder is off to boot from and without waiting time a key is pressed immediately began, but if you need to view, then turn sometimes need to tap the screen to reconnect it, and can not do the boot prompt That is on location shooting, but from my point of view in terms of use, cancel the standby status does not seem to feel anything wrong.
Silver more cost-effective price a little expensive
Speaking this is a vexing problem, although not yet officially listed in the country, but on the Lynx, the Amazon platform Session already started pre-sale. The price of 2,998 yuan in the listing price doomed it would seem very low. Especially when the Session was placed in the same price of 2998 yuan of Silver next time, this feeling is even worse. Silver Session almost comparable in performance parameters, but it provides a more direct and effective help LCD viewfinder, which is obviously the most attractive place Silver. And back at the Session, in addition to small size, support waterproof performance in the film is not dominant. Silver whole or higher price, if you do not chase the new waterproof function is not excessive pursuit, I think Silver is more suitable for the screen demanding friend.
It can be said is the kind of small portable Session can quickly grab your desire to use sport cameras, like its predecessors HERO4 series. Compact size and waterproof function, can help those with poor carrying capacity users (surfing, skateboarding, etc.) to experience better shooting experience. However, the higher price comparison and short plate no viewfinder LCD screen also greatly limits the flexibility of Session shooting, especially prosumers Session should be not so cold, right? ʱ?? Anyway, for the first time to experience the use of Session I feel pretty good, go-kart severe vibration and lateral centrifugal force and did not produce any challenge to the stability of the base 3M glue, lighter body weight is really a key, nothing than a smooth shooting more gratifying it!
