GoPro released a supercompact action camera in the form of a cube

Company GoPro has released a new action camera Hero4 Session the size of an ice cube. The camera was very compact and easy to use. As writes TechCrunch, this is the first GoPro camera, which does not need a box for operation under extreme conditions. Pleases almost everything, except for the price. Hero4 Session costs as much as the smart watch Apple Watch.

Hero4 Session is the smallest representative of the GoPro camera family. The camera weighs only 74 grams - about half lighter than the iPhone 6 - and is clad in a waterproof case.

Due to the small size of the camera, the manufacturer had to sacrifice some of the characteristics that are inherent in more high-tech models. The new camera does not support recording in 4K, the battery is non-removable.

The development of Hero4 Session took three years. The new model received a number of advantages over its predecessors. The most important is protection against water and shock. The camera withstands submersion to a depth of 10 meters, and the new microphone system provides a clean and clear sound when leaving the water, as well as while in the wind.

Hero4 Session independently orientates itself in space and automatically rotates video during shooting. If earlier two separate buttons were used for inclusion and recording, now only one. This has a positive effect on the battery charge.

Next to the button is a small status LCD display that shows the mode of operation, the remaining battery power and the connection status.

The quality of shooting is not worse than that of other GoPro models. Perhaps, the Hero4 Session lacks only the ultra-high definition mode, like the 500-dollar Hero4 Black camera. However, most users will have enough modes 1440p / 30fps and 1080p / 60fps. The quality of shooting video in low light conditions is acceptable, the capture of fast moving objects is present.

In general, reviewers from TechCrunch were satisfied.

Sales of Hero4 Session start on July 12 at a price $ 400 .
