One area where the new Hero does come out ahead is in its audio capabilities.

Lower resolution modes found on the Hero5 Session, such as 960p (at up to 100fps) and 720p (at up to 120fps) are also absent from the GoPro Hero, meaning the newer camera misses out on several slow-motion options too. The Hero5 Session also has a SuperView mode for a more immersive fisheye-like effect. However, the differences don’t stop there: The Hero5 Session also offers additional frame rates at 1080p, including a cinematic 24fps mode and many other frame rates up to a maximum of 90fps, where the new Hero tops out at 60 fps. This feature alone may be enough to convince you to seek out the older camera while you can still find one for sale. The Hero5 Session, on the other hand, is fully 4K-capable at 30fps. Most notable is the absence of 4K support, with the maximum recording resolution limited to 1440p at a maximum of 60fps. The new GoPro Hero offers much-reduced video capabilities compared to the Hero5 Session. GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Session: Video Specifications The GoPro Hero5 Session is much more compact, but lacks the touchscreen of the larger GoPro Hero. The touch screen will make good use of that extra battery power, however, meaning you won’t necessarily get better battery life out of the Hero, but the removable design is a big advantage when it comes to changing batteries in the field or replacing worn out ones which no-longer hold their charge as well as they did when new. GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Session: BatteryĪ physically larger camera body provides more internal space and the Hero, like the Hero5 Black and Hero6 Black finds room for a removable 1220Ah battery, which is a little over 20% larger than the non-removable 1000mAh battery found in the Hero5 Session. Weights and dimensions of the two cameras are as follows:

The Hero also adds a Micro-HDMI port for direct connection to a TV or monitor - something not present on the smaller Hero5 Session.īoth cameras feature a waterproof body able to operate safely at depths of up to 33 feet without the need for a separate underwater housing. The Hero5 Session, however, is more flexible when it comes to mounting as it can fit into (slightly) smaller spaces and weighs a little less.īoth cameras are pretty small, so GoPro clearly feels the extra usability of the touchscreen is worth more to the average user than having the smallest possible action camera. The built-in touch screen makes the Hero much easier to use than the Hero5 Session, especially for beginners, and it doesn’t rely so heavily on the smartphone app for control and reviewing footage. This change in design lowers the price bar to the ‘full’ GoPro touch screen experience but leaves fans of the smaller model without an equivalent replacement in GoPro’s new line up. The GoPro Hero is a much larger device than the Hero5 Session it replaces, abandoning the trademark cuboid proportions of the screenless Session range in favour of the rectangular design of the more expensive Hero5 Black and Hero6 Black models with their built-in two-inch touch screens. GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Session: Design & Dimensions The Hero5 Session is no longer available directly from GoPro, but can still be purchased from retailers such as Amazon, where it can often be found at a discounted price while stocks are still available. Launching at $199, the new Hero matches the Hero5 Session on price, maintaining the entry price point to the GoPro range.
