First, I set the Session to shoot at full HD, hit the shutter and went for a jog. I’d already set up voice control, but it proved ineffective on the noisy roads of Delhi. It worked quite well once I entered our neighbourhood park. I was impressed with the image stabilisation the Session offered, especially during the rather ungainly steps I took over an uneven track — this was especially apparent when I viewed it against the 4K footage, which offers no image stabilisation. Videos captured were great at both resolutions, except in a dark corner of the park, where it took some time to focus. Also, this camera is meant to be mounted on your body. Mounted on a bike’s handlebars, I found the image stabilisation to be a lot less effective. The lack of a viewfinder or live screen means clicking still photos is that much more difficult.
The Session is water-proof till 10 m. Shooting in 4K, I was able to get an hour’s worth from a fully charged battery; one can stretch it by one more hour if one is shooting at lower resolutions. But if you’re looking at five hours worth of trekking, you have to connect it to a battery bank. If you’re shooting under water, there’s no way you can do this since this involves opening the flap that covers both the microSD card as well as the USB Type-C port.
The GoPro Hero5 Session is for those who want to enter the action camera space, but aren’t ready to shell out a bundle.
